Unionhawk

That's roughly what this pcpartpicker is, logicalincrements excellent

SaintWacko

Ah, okay, wasn't sure if you were familiar with it

I love it. Great for putting together a build with minimal bottlenecks

@Unionhawk Not sure you need a cooler, the CPU comes with a pretty good stock cooler

Also 4x8GB ram might be cheaper than 2x16GB

Wow I can't believe 1TB SSDs are just $120 now

The 1TB spinning hard disk is a bit small though

Unionhawk

True

Especially since twice that is like $7 more

Private Pansy

Also that PSU is a bit more powerful than you need. IIRC you want to aim for about 80% utilization for optimal power efficiency

Rogue Company is a lot of fun

Competitive squad shooter. I urge people to check it out when it becomes f2p. I bought into beta

Rogue Company Review

►

Unfortunately the genre is a bit oversaturated but this game tightens up a lot imo.

Also amazing sound design

Unionhawk

@PrivatePansy So probably on the order of 550-600W I guess based on the estimate?

GnomeSlice

Less focus on the human-aimbot skill of something like valorant, more focus on the teamwork and tactics side of things

Would love a party to play with at some point

Private Pansy

Oh man, the efficiency thing is much more complicated than I thought. tomshardware.com/reviews/psu-buying-guide,2916-12.html

Unionhawk

Page what of how many

Private Pansy

That page has some real world benchmarking. The tl;dr is that most PSUs have peak efficiency at about 50% load, but their efficiency at low load is abysmal, so if you buy a PSU and only use 50% at peak, your idle efficiency is going to be horrible, and you end up wasting money (not to mention paying more for higher load which you won't use)

Unionhawk

01:01

Private Pansy

I think 80-85% is still a good rule of thumb I guess

Unionhawk

Upped HDD to 2 might go 4, 2x16 appears to be cheaper right now, PSU I'll figure out

1 vs 2 HDD is about $5, 2 to 4 is about $50

(plus with 2x16 I can upgrade to 4x16 which is a wholly unnecessary amount but think of the number of chrome tabs I could have open)

also yeah with 1TB HDD my external would be bigger which I guess is my current situation with my laptop but still

HDDs are so cheap

@SaintWacko I forgot about this, thanks

Nice to have this in addition to part picker

Q: Why is Minecraft registering a TAG_String without any quotation marks?

I've been experimenting with attribute modifiers on items. What's interesting is that each attribute modifier requires a UUID. So I've provided one myself by simply punching in random numbers on my keyboard number pad. I know that in NBT, the UUID is stored in a TAG_Int_Array, which is formatted ...

Unionhawk

@Nzall True

Wipqozn

@Nzall Amazing

I should really sign up for game pass to see if I can run that

Unionhawk

I've actually been able to run decently

The audio sounds awful but I can get a relatively stable 20 frames

And unlike other sims it's fun to fly around places because there's actually stuff to see

Wipqozn

You crazy kids and your gaming PCs

Unionhawk

and not just, look we have a terrain mesh that maps to the real world but nothing else

Unionhawk

13:59

@Nzall Rumors are this could be announced as early as August 31 so that's neat

SaintWacko

@Elise Ooh, that's cool

SaintWacko

14:15

@fredley That makes sense. This whole pandemic storyline is getting old. We need something to spice up the timeline

@Unionhawk The terrain mesh is super impressive, though

Unionhawk

Mountains are cool but consider: mountains with TREES and a fully detailed Telluride airport

Out of which I failed to perform the obstacle departure yesterday and crashed into a mountain

Nzall

@fredley I can't find any news article about this

Like, you'd expect with all the doomscrolling and clickbaiting, searching "Mount Saint Helens" would give you at least 1 result about an impending eruption

@Unionhawk What about Tenzing–Hillary Airport?

Tenzing–Hillary Airport

Tenzing–Hillary Airport (IATA: LUA, ICAO: VNLK), also known as Lukla Airport, is a small airport in the town of Lukla, in Khumbu, Solukhumbu District, Province No. 1, eastern Nepal. A program titled Most Extreme Airports, broadcast on The History Channel in 2010, rated the airport as the most dangerous airport in the world for more than 20 years.The airport is popular because Lukla is the place where most people start the climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. There are daily flights between Lukla and Kathmandu during daylight hours in good weather. Although the flying distance is short, rain commonly...

Nzall

I am not entirely sure why that got starred, but sure

Unionhawk

@MBraedley yeah that one is also fully detailed

MBraedley

14:39

> Due to the terrain and the low possibility of a safe go-around for a missed approach, there are no go-around procedures for this airport.

Unionhawk

Complete with the sloped runway

MBraedley

I hear the approach into Juneau, Alaska is interesting too.

Unionhawk

It's apparently super crowded in multiplayer lol

Maho Beach

Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, in the territory of Sint Maarten. It is famous for being adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport and is a popular site for tourists and planewatchers, who visit the beach to watch aircraft on final approach landing at the airport. == Location == Due to the unique proximity of low-flying airliners arriving and departing from Princess Juliana International Airport, the location is popular with plane spotters. This is one of the few places in the world where aircraft can be viewed in their flight path just...

I wonder how bad Istanbul Airport is.

Airnav only has FAA charts so I can't check lol

I should find out how to get government charts for europe etc

SFO has an interesting approach in that they often land 28 L and R simultaneously, which are only 700 feet apart

So it's something like, one has a precision approach aligned with the runway, another has an offset nonprecision approach, plus a special controller whose only job is to have an open mic and watch for deviations and call if someone needs to break out of the approach

@TimStone hitman 3 will be exclusive to epic for a year. So I guess I'll be waiting. Considering how you can load up previous hitman games in the newer ones, I don't want to have hitman 1+2 on steam and then own hitman 3 on Epic.

Memor-X

@Wipqozn i didn't know the older ones can be loaded up in the newer one. is it the previous game with the improvements of the newer one? or just launching the previous one from the newer one?

Wipqozn

@Memor-X So you can play the hitman 1 maps in Hitman 2, with all the hitman 2 improvements.

and I assume it'll be the same for hitman 1/2 with Hitman 3.
