[23:52:12] <charon_> huh... you can queue multiple comment moderations at the same time and when you click one of the buttons they all are applied. i had no idea
[22:29:48] <charon_> i missed it. i can look when i get home
[22:27:41] <takyon> game suggestion in the other channel
[22:26:12] * charon_ loosens tie, sweats profusely.
[22:23:50] <takyon> ^ amateur comedy, folks
[22:21:18] <charon_> because he always naps, right? never mind...
[22:20:48] <charon_> seeya later TheMightyBytram
[22:20:37] <Bytram> have a good day everyone!
[22:20:29] * Bytram just can not get himself going today... am gonna try and lie down for a nap.
[22:15:07] <takyon> ain't that sumpin
[22:14:37] <charon_> i already have a dual boot setup, but it's enough of a pain that i never leave windows just in case i may be playing somthing
[22:13:18] <takyon> err, very well
[22:13:15] <charon_> my main purpose is to move to linux and bag windows except when i'm gaming
[22:13:11] <takyon> Skyrim scales very low to crap specs
[22:12:52] <charon_> nothing too crazy. skyrim is prolly the upper limit.
[22:12:44] <takyon> aka would it need a discrete GPU or would internal graphics do OK
[22:12:08] <takyon> so what games are you trying to play? skyrim? morrowind? starcraft 2? space engine? GTA V?
[22:10:24] <charon_> the idea of the passthrough GPU is that only the VM has access to it. so in theory it's like playing on bare metal
[22:09:50] <charon_> so i can probably afford to wait a while
[22:09:41] <takyon> I don't know if there's some loss of GPU efficiency from using your VM thing, or if you want to play newer games that wouldn't do so hot on integrated graphics, necessitating an external GPU anywayu
[22:09:37] <charon_> honestly, i'm not coming up to the limits that i need, but i was planning to pass my current PC down to my kids, and build another for myself
[22:08:52] <takyon> I tend to wait as long as possible before replacing my computers charon_. I guess you should ask yourself when you want it, and how much GPU power you need.
[22:07:40] * cmn32480 pulled twice as goodly from his ass and has no clue how that scaling works
[22:07:16] <takyon> but that's not how that stuff works
[22:07:11] <takyon> if the scaling was real it would be 4x as good
[22:07:05] <charon_> need more magnifying glasses
[22:06:50] <cmn32480> that's half.. it'll be twice as goodly
[22:06:30] <takyon> one interesting thing is that I hear AMD will skip 10nm and try to go from 14nm -> 7nm
[22:06:08] <charon_> right. so i'm still of two minds about waiting for the next set
[22:05:36] <takyon> that's not to say there won't eventually be a Ryzen 14nm desktop chip with iGPU eventually, but it doesn't look like it will be one of the launch chips
[22:04:57] <takyon> they don't. I was kind of taken aback by that as well, but it makes sense given what they are going up against
[22:04:29] <charon_> but the ryzen chips coming out don't have an internal GPU, so i'd need a second video card
[22:03:58] <charon_> i have been toying with the idea of doing my next build with a GPU passthrough so i can run a windows VM for games but the main system is linux.
[22:03:52] <takyon> confirmed 4-8 core chips, aggressive pricing, performance possibly on par with Intel's $1000 chips
[22:03:12] <takyon> what do you want to know about Ryzen
[22:03:07] <Bytram> oh, those comments? yep.
[22:02:51] <cmn32480> it's half the comment thread

[22:02:46] <charon_> hey takyon: i wanted to pick your brain about the Ryzen CPUS, but i think i found the answer to my question later on
[22:02:34] <Bytram> linky?
[22:02:24] * cmn32480 giggles at gewg_'s comments
[21:58:56] <takyon> i heard you needed me 16 hours ago
[21:58:35] <takyon> hey charon_
[21:57:53] * cmn32480 greatfully accepts the proffered whiskey
[21:57:47] * Bytram offers some leashes to help keep the terminals from escaping
[21:57:37] * charon_ passes a Zima to cmn32480
[21:57:30] * Bytram remembers a time when a long distance phone call could be quite expensive in its own right
[21:57:27] <cmn32480> all the terminals are running
[21:57:18] <cmn32480> upgrade complete.
[21:57:08] * cmn32480 greatfully accepts Bytram's offer of a beer
[21:57:03] <charon_> wow. get any good results from it?
[21:56:56] * Bytram offers a scoobie snack
[21:56:46] <cmn32480> that was a 5 hour phone call
[21:56:41] <cmn32480> woof
[21:56:17] <Bytram> quiet days can be disturbing until I realize how hectic some of the days during the holidays were, and they seem to be a lot more easily "accepted"
[21:55:25] <charon_> quiet, nice weather. just hanging out
[21:55:19] <Bytram> sounds like a pleasant change
[21:55:02] <charon_> i am fine. i had some extra hours in during the week, so i came in late so as not to go overtime. so in effect, a short day today
[21:53:45] <Bytram> and how are you doing today?
[21:53:43] <charon_> well done, you've out-literal'd me
[21:53:32] <Bytram> s/b/n/
[21:53:23] <Bytram> ;)
[21:53:19] * Bytram looks out the window -- yep sun is there... sub check completed.
[21:52:53] * Bytram thought you might appreciate that nuance
[21:52:50] <charon_> a sun check?
[21:52:43] <charon_> heheh
[21:52:37] <Bytram> hmmm, idiomatic expressions sometime do not make literal sense.

[21:51:13] <Bytram> good, but tired. Long week took a lot out of me, especially with trying to fit in testing of the site upgrade...
[21:50:16] <charon_> how are things on this lovely spring sunday?

[11:07:00] <Bytram> as for "#NoFragmentIdentifiers" -- I'm a bit torn. Ostensibly, it's to inform our limited vision readers that there are no better links to directly bring that part of the page directly into view; OTOH, it just happens to serve HIS purpose to try and send a message to the web site owner. In deference to our limited-visibility readers, I erron the side of leaving that in, as well.
[11:05:12] <Bytram> when it comes to "#ExtremelyPoorUseOfAccessibilityFeatures" -- I strip that without mercy -- if HE wants to send a message to the site, HE should send em an e-mail or something -- DO NOT [ab]use SN to send a message.

[11:03:22] <Bytram> My stance, these days, is to include a fragment ID *only* if it actually exists in the linked document (for https://example.com you would either see: name="foo" or id="foo" in the page source)

[05:28:19] <charon> he's hard to pigeonhole. he does piano ballads like billy joel, but also some really weird atonal clangy post punk hobo jungle music
[05:27:25] * cmn32480 googles furtously
[05:27:17] <cmn32480> don't know him
[05:27:16] <charon> he rarely tours, and when he does the tickets sell in an instant
[05:26:50] <charon> the one guy i'd love to see live, but probably never will is Tom Waits
[05:25:55] <cmn32480> both times I saw them
[05:25:33] <cmn32480> him and Elton are easy 4 hours plus
[05:25:15] <charon> with a catalog that deep, he could play just greatest hits and fill out a couple hours
[05:25:11] <cmn32480> there ain't nothign like 60k people with lighters adn cell phones singing piano man
[05:24:39] <cmn32480> who plays the piano and the guitar
[05:24:36] <charon> heh
[05:24:32] <cmn32480> for an old guy (in his 60's)
[05:23:53] <cmn32480> he does
[05:23:51] <charon> billy joel, that was
[05:23:43] <charon> i bet he puts on a good show
[05:23:41] <cmn32480> several time with Elton John
[05:23:33] <cmn32480> have seen him in concert 7 or 8 times
[05:23:20] <cmn32480> I also love Billy Joel. Far FAR more than Metallica
[05:23:17] <charon> you might like the pixies, though they're more punk inflected
[05:23:05] <cmn32480> this will be the first time I have had the $$ to see them in concert
[05:22:52] <cmn32480> I like Metallica's music...
[05:22:42] <cmn32480> it is all about what you enjoy
[05:21:27] <charon> years ago, my wife got me tickets for the pixies. and also arranged for my brother to drive up to go with me. it was great
[05:19:10] <cmn32480> he's a hard rock/metal guy
[05:18:51] <charon> hahah, good boss
[05:18:43] <cmn32480> "
[05:18:38] <cmn32480> he also said somethignt o the effect of " you aren't gonna be able to hear anything, so you won't be any good in the office either
[05:17:53] <charon> lol
[05:17:49] <cmn32480> [his response was "duh?"
[05:17:45] <charon> hah
[05:17:41] <cmn32480> told my boss I was taking the day off afterwords
[05:17:18] <charon> but seeing a good band live is always awesome
[05:17:02] <cmn32480> everybody has their own music likes and disklikes
[05:16:52] <charon> they're alright, but not quite my style
[05:16:37] <cmn32480> is ok
[05:16:30] <charon> i am risking your wrath here, but i've never been a fan

[04:20:42] <Fnord666> we often end up drafting to even things up.
[04:19:45] <Fnord666> probably
[04:19:38] <charon> doesn't everyone say that? about every game?
[04:18:37] <Fnord666> In general COD automatic matchmaking stinks
[04:18:03] <charon> that would be an amusing easter egg. or even a per player handicap in deathmatches
[04:17:09] <Fnord666> exactly
[04:17:02] <Fnord666> mind you this was also just a spontaneous thing and no one had practiced together
[04:16:53] <charon> old guy mode: your player moves 30% slower and has wobbly aim
[04:16:23] <Fnord666> but overall it was a slaughter
[04:16:07] <Fnord666> although there are a couple of game modes that do allow it to even the odds and we beat them on a couple of the maps they weren't familiar with.
[04:15:27] <Fnord666> ya
[04:15:14] <charon> TIL: age related sly-ness doesn't work in shooters
[04:14:46] <charon> ouch
[04:14:41] <Fnord666> we played 4 interns against 6 of us and they still obliterated us in most of the game types.
[04:14:06] <Fnord666> Some of our interns join occasionally and we have to divy them up or get our butts handed to us.
[04:13:29] <Fnord666> with slow reflexes
[04:13:08] <charon> i hear ya
[04:13:00] <Fnord666> To many geezers :)
[04:12:57] <charon> yeah
[04:12:49] <Fnord666> we wouldn't even stand a chance to qualify.
[04:12:38] <Fnord666> There are ongoing online tournaments that teams compete in to qualify for the major events
[04:12:13] <Fnord666> lol. watch maybe.
[04:11:42] <charon> or just watch?
[04:11:33] <charon> get your work team together and enter?
[04:10:45] <charon> and yeah, as far as confusing. i totally agree. until i played for a few hours, videos made absolutely no sense to me
[04:10:32] <Fnord666> one of the CS:GO tournaments was nearby last year. If they do it again this year I may go
[04:09:24] <charon> not by level, but by win/loss rank
[04:09:18] <Fnord666> and get you a$$ handed to you
[04:09:03] <charon> exactly
[04:08:58] <Fnord666> seems like that would just get you matched up with better players later.
[04:08:45] <charon> by winning matches, you get higher rank. but if you can't sustain that rank with your own skill, you'll drop immediately
[04:08:28] <Fnord666> not sure why then
[04:08:06] <Fnord666> interesting
[04:07:51] <charon> the only thing you get for a level is emotes/skins/whatever. it's all cosmetic
[04:07:27] <Fnord666> i've not played it and watching it is even confusing to me a bit
[04:07:18] <charon> yep
[04:07:13] <Fnord666> really?
[04:07:05] <Fnord666> didn't work in this case
[04:07:04] <charon> odd, since levelling does nothing in overwatch
[04:06:40] <Fnord666> I guess you can hire people to help you like that?
[04:06:22] <Fnord666> The aimbotter seemed to be helping some others level up but the others weren't that good.
[04:05:52] <Fnord666> not really, no.
[04:05:19] <charon> that's pretty funny. and they didn't break a sweat doing it, i bet
[04:05:14] <Fnord666> It was hilarious.
[04:04:50] <exec> <Fnord666> they ganged him as soon as he pawned, then stomped the corpse
[04:04:48] <sedctl> <Fnord666> they ganged him as soon as he pawned, then stomped the corpse
[04:04:48] <Fnord666> s/me/he/
[04:04:40] <Fnord666> they ganged him as soon as me pawned, then stomped the corpse
[04:04:22] <Fnord666> literally.
[04:04:16] <charon> lol
[04:04:15] <Fnord666> ahole
[04:04:13] <Fnord666> anyway the pros stomped him a new ahold
[04:03:47] <Fnord666> apparently the aimbotter ran into a team of professional players who were from various teams that had gotten together on one guy's twitch stream to just fool around as a team
[04:03:08] <charon> best kind of cheater. one who loses even though he's cheating
[04:02:31] <Fnord666> saw the best video recording of an aimbot cheater in overwatch getting "pwned"
[04:01:36] <Fnord666> yeah, me too.
[04:01:28] <Fnord666> and that's against the 10 year olds.
[04:01:22] <charon> i really like overwatch, but i get slaughtered because i'm old and slow
[04:00:56] <Fnord666> yeah my K/D in Call Of Duty ranges from 2.5 to 0.25
[04:00:34] <Fnord666> lol
[04:00:18] <charon> mind the decimal
[03:59:58] <charon> i think my aps is like... .3
[03:59:43] <Fnord666> for the 2016 International
[03:58:44] <Fnord666> $9M for the win in DOTA2
[03:58:29] <charon> wild. even hearthstone
[03:58:25] <Fnord666> yeah, that's DOTA
[03:58:04] <Fnord666> blackops 3 tourney had $2,000,000 prize pool
[03:57:54] <charon> holy shit. $20M
[03:57:30] <charon> and fewer concussions

[03:57:04] <charon> seems weird at first glance, but i suppose it's not different than physical sports
[03:56:31] <Fnord666> both CounterStrike and Call of Duty have major tournaments with professional teams
[03:55:59] <Fnord666> half for the win
[03:55:45] <charon> whoa
[03:55:44] <Fnord666> prize
[03:55:40] <Fnord666> $450,000 prixe pool for this tourney
[03:55:33] <charon> huh. i guess i knew there was for starcraft and LoL but not FPS
[03:55:08] <Fnord666> Serious stuff with real money.
[03:54:43] <Fnord666> oh yeah
[03:54:37] <charon> they have tournaments in FPS? teams and everything?
[03:53:44] <Fnord666> yep
[03:52:43] <charon> anyway, all over now.
[03:51:57] <charon> yep
[03:51:37] <Fnord666> well at least that
[03:51:23] <charon> so i told him i did not need his help for that, and he looked around and actually talked to a customer
[03:50:45] <charon> gah
[03:50:38] <charon> really, who the fuck needs a trash barrel steadied ever?
[03:50:27] <Fnord666> very helpful. not.
[03:50:07] <charon> and when he looked up at one point to notice there were 3 people to help, he decided to... not engage with any of them, but attempted to steady the trash barrel that i was dumping stuff into
[03:50:02] <Fnord666> nice of him
[03:48:50] <charon> my "co-worker" was, as usual surfing on the computer and letting me field all the customers
[03:48:27] <Fnord666> oh. not good.
[03:48:03] <charon> better now. i was furious for a while at work
[03:47:57] <Fnord666> watching CS:GO tourney ATM
[03:47:44] <Fnord666> good. yourself?
[03:47:36] <charon> hiyo. how goes it?
[03:47:22] <Fnord666> btw good evening
[03:47:17] <Fnord666> :)
[03:46:51] <charon> i was going to answer, but since OO_ asked specifically for cmn...
