@Memor-X There is some truly disgusting stuff in there. One of their female employees committed suicide at a company vacation, and the other employee she had a relationship with had sex toys and lube with him on the trip

@Nzall yeh and it almost seems like this gets worse and worse with every game studio exposed
whelp, there's been a COVID Scare at work. one of the builders (who also came from Melbourne) is a Tier 1 contact from a market place that was just announced as a COVID Tier 1 Contact Point. yesterday he was just across from me

we were both masked and were distanced but we have the Delta Variant in Australia so it might not be enough. the builders were told today to stop all work and for it not to resume until they are confirmed infection free. the workplace itself didnd't get designated a COVID Tier 2 Contact Point until after i left (found out from my people manager calling me when i got

@Memor-X you won't know whether he's safe until he's tested
 
@Nzall he's got a test today so work is waiting on the results
when i was told by the receptionist (at the time was printing out my tax info for the weekend) the original idea was that we were fine. there's not alot of us and most of the contact with the workers have been with the receptionist in the building areas we're not allowed near and she's fully vaccinated. but she was worried that she could still be a carrier so she was planning to get tested herself and was concerned about my close contact (wasn't really all that close)

Did we talk yet about how Amazon's new MMO is bricking 3090s?

@Nzall That's wild that that's even possible
@Memor-X Goddamn, that is way worse than I was expecting
@Memor-X We had a case of Corona in the office last month. We drank it all by now, though

@Nzall iirc, the "other employee" was her supervisor
@Nzall based on what i've read, that's more of an issue with the 3090 manufacturer than the game
software shouldn't be overvolting your hardware

that's what i've heard from someone who develop's games. it's not possible for the game to brick the card
SidAlpha also looked into it
> Did some quick digging around in forums and it APPEARS the game actually may have exposed a hardware fault within EVGA 3090's due to potentially substandard components. Supposedly capping the framerate within the EVGA 3090 drivers (or what Amazon did) will prevent the bricking.

So, likely EVGA's fault. Not the game's fault.
as for what exactly is happening
> apparently EVGA started putting shittier components on their cards, and as a measure of it not completely destroying the whole card when there's a power spike because the VRMs now cannot handle that anymore, they put a permanent fuse on the card. Something the game does causes a power spike, which blows the fuse, and the card is effectively dead.
from someone else on discord
combining the two, it seems a certain framerate is trigging a fault in the card that's blowing the fuse
@SaintWacko lol, that's a good one
 
From what I've heard, the game doesn't have a frame limiter on the menu screen, and so the GPU is like "HAVE ALL THE FRAMES!"
 
4:36 PM
@MBraedley yep. I heard rumors of 3000 FPS
 
Something changed about our Meta

Q: Problem with understanding and incorrectly closed valid question

Bartek MalyszJust asked consecutively 2 questions relating to issue I'm experiencing with Diablo 3. Someone suggested to ask another question for the very specific issue, which I did, but someone decided to close it pointing to original question as duplicate. How mad is this, I can't re -edit the second quest...
