Q: Poor performance for Trials Rising on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M

I run Trials Rising on my XMG P406 Laptop. The configuration: Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M I get a framerate of 15 FPS, which is not playable. In "Advanced options" of Trials Rising I choosed the lowest quality setting, and the lowest resolution. I installed the newest v...

@Lazers2.0 "choosed"

Yuuki

Choseded.

user15026

Eh, it's a tricky past tense.

Yuuki

Yeah, "choose" -> "chose" is rather non-standard.

Then again, English as a whole is pretty non-standard.

In anjycase, pokemon direct was nifty, but Animal Crossing is the direct I want.

So make that happen @Yuuki

@Unionhawk I'd like to point out that you are the worst

Because I know exactly what you're talking about but I cannot find it

It might be a better idea to put my netatmo somewhere else in my bedroom than right behind my eastward window. https://www.netatmo.com/product/station #netatmo

Unless my room actually does heat up to 30°C between 8 and 12 AM

@Unionhawk Are you calling my username dumb?

Yuuki

@MBraedley Is it what you're going to call your start-up?

Unionhawk

@MBraedley No but I am saying that it would be dumb to make a company called that

MBraedley

Okay, I'm fine with that.

@Nzall What's with the dip around 8?

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Especially if your name was Stephen Marsh

Nzall

@MBraedley I wake up at 6:30 and open my shutters

the temperature then drops further until sunrise at 8

MBraedley

8:55 PM

@Nzall as open the window (i.e. to mix with outside air) or open the blinds (to let light in)?

Nzall

@MBraedley both: tilt the window and raise the blinds

during the night it's fully open with the blinds closed

MBraedley

Okay. If it was just the latter, then I would say you need to replace your windows with more efficient ones.

Nzall

because if I don't have it fully open during the night, my CO2 levels are too high

MBraedley

@Nzall What? No, that's crazy talk.

Nzall

Give me a moment

How do you heat your place?

Nzall

accumulation heater on electricity

not sure about the English name

but my heater is off right now, because it's 20 °C outside

I was literally waking up at 2 AM because my pillow was soaked in sweat

MBraedley

But suffice it to say you're not burning oil or anything else for heat.

Nzall

no, not really

MBraedley

Your place probably just needs better airflow in general. Are there air vents throughout the place?

Nzall

And this measurement was taken AFTER I moved the station off my desk and to the window sill on the other side of my room

nope, no air vents

it's an older building

and during the night my bedroom door is closed for privacy

9:05 PM

My word. A few family members pipes have frozen today.

GOOD TIMES. GOOD TIMES.

MBraedley

That's actually where I'd expect it more. Oil furnace with forced air heat is actually the most common type of heat for buildings from the 1970's and earlier here. That's what was in my place before the previous owners converted completely over to electric heat.

Nzall

@MBraedley I mean, you live in a country that didn't have 80% of the houses destroyed in a war that happened 70 years ago

Today I watched a nearly 9-minute video of someone making a guillotine out of chocolate. It failed to cut a zucchini.

Dragonrage

@InvaderSkoodge im not surprised

When is the last time you tested your gamepad? Do it today, and maybe have some fun in the process https://whilefun.itch.io/fun-gamepad-tester 🕹️🎮🤓 https://t.co/3xvPBcvQJR

Heh

@Unionhawk Holy hell how is it worse than expected??

@InvaderSkoodge It was a good video though

Unionhawk

@TimStone THERE'S NO DOOR

IT'S SO BUSY

This is just a hitman 2 area

Tim Stone

I mean I'd be asking to be drowned in the toilet after experiencing all of that

Who has a bathtub with straight corners instead of rounded?

Chippies

@Unionhawk is there a tl;dr of what reaction we should be having and why?

@InvaderSkoodge I have seen a video of someone making a knife out of milk. It was sharper than the knives I have in my kitchen...

user15026

@TimStone oh I like this

Invader Skoodge

@Chippies Based on the comments I think it was the same person.

Dragonrage

@Chippies like a knife knife, or a pressurized jet of milk?

Chippies

@InvaderSkoodge I doubt that. That guy is asian, and I'm pretty sure he makes knives for a living (or maybe he's really good at his hobby). On his youtube channel he makes knives from weird stuff

@Dragonrage a knife knife

Dragonrage

9:36 PM

i have questions

Invader Skoodge

@Chippies I mean the comments on reddit were talking about when the chocolate guillotine guy made a knife out of milk.

Chippies

he boiled the milk, I believe with vinegar maybe? to curd it until it wasn't liquid

Invader Skoodge

So unless multiple people have made knives out of milk for some reason, it was probably the same one.

Chippies

it was then compressed and heated and other stuff

I mean, lots of work went into it

it's crazy

@Chippies my reaction is just a combination of distress and awe

Chippies

9:37 PM

looked up "knife milk" and it's the first result :)

Unionhawk

I didn't know it was possible to make a bathroom with this much hypermasculine energy

Chippies

@Unionhawk I mean, it looks fancy? I can see some flaws, but eccentric people have eccentric stuff, so Idk why it's such a big deal

Tim Stone

@InvaderSkoodge Yeah it is

Unionhawk

I also worry about what lies beneath the floors given the "sawed through engineered I beams" detail from the original in-progress thread

Tim Stone

I think @Chippies needs the backstory about how the dude was just like "Screw contractors I'm gonna do it ~~live~~ myself" and it turned into a whole shitshow

Unionhawk

9:42 PM

The intent (something to the effect of "a master bath so nice that if a husband and wife came to buy, the wife would see this and say 'wow this is really nice we need this'") is key too

credit where it's due though, he got "this is a really bad and dumb idea"ed out of his original thread but pressed on and showed back up anyway

as if anyone will ever forget anything that reaches SA escape velocity

I need to log off but here's a short summary of the original

Q: How to fill an area with lava so that it doesn't flow? 1.13

I was wondering if it is possible to use the fill command in Minecraft 1.13 to make an area full of lava that won't flow. Simply using fill ~ ~ ~ ~10 ~ ~10 minecraft:lava doesn't work in this version of the game. And the only property the block seems to have is level which isn't helpful for this...

@Chippies what did I just watch

it was fun and all

but... it was weird

@Ave the art of knife making :P

they have lots of interesting videos on that channel

all about making knives

it's quite relaxing to watch it, actually

@Unionhawk without the backstory, it doesn't seem bad, but yeah, seems like some lifehacks level construction

I'd be willing to bet money that sawing those beams immediately lowered the value of the house to way lower than he'd be potentially gaining with the fancy bathroom

Unionhawk

He did hire a guy to fix that at some point but like

Congrats on spending a lot of money fixing you destroying your floor
