Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Eel Heh, that sounds like the time my mother had to fix her boss's porn filled work computer that he swore had no idea how it got that way. Or the time I nearly ruined my laptop by only putting it to sleep and never power cycling it for like 3 months straight or some absurd amount of time. Pro-tip, don't do that.

Anyway, yes, having a place to actually put a computer is rather important.

@Heavyarms55
I want to ask about ACNH.
I remembered if the stones on my island could be broken by shovel on certain days.
I have removed the cliffs on my island but the problem was there were 2 stones left and couldn't be broken.
Is there any chance for them to break and replaced by other stones on different location ?

Yeah, I thought it seemed to be going slower recently, @Tyranexx .... Origami King looks great, IMO & it shouldn't have anything like the disliked sticker system, etc

@Anti-Matter You can break them whenever you want. You just need to eat a fruit first. One fruit, one stone. They will respawn, one each day, in a random location. It is technically possible to control where they will spawn, but you need to block every possible area except where you want them. It's a huge job and not really worth the effort, but it can be down.

@Heavyarms55 Haha gotta stay vigilant for those nasty hackers that put NSFW content in your computer! Because, there’s no other way for that to get there, nuh-huh.

Thankfully windows makes sure your computer resets every time it decides it will install an update. Isn’t that nice?

About the pc. I’m humoring the idea of building one from parts. This is the list I put together for now just looking around on amazon:

• Geforce gtx 1650 4gb graphic card (kinda pricy, could settle for something cheaper)
• Intel core i5-9400f processor.
• Corsair vengeance lpx 8gb ram (x2)
• Asus Prime h310m-e motherboard.
• 1tb mechanical + 120gb solid hard drives
• Evga 500w power supply.
• Corsair spec-5 case.

It all comes to around 1k dollars (including the windows license), which is a lot for me, but bit by bit I could achieve it.

Any suggestions? How does it look? I have absolutely 0 experience on this subject, so sorry if I’m being annoying I’m just a bit excited about the idea.

Hmm, looks good to me but then I'm not that much of an expert on all the parts .... Do a thread about it for the PC people to look at?

@Eel Those specs look pretty decent, and building your own machine does mean you can upgrade more easily later if you decide you want a better graphics card.

I've never built my own PC from parts. It's something I've looked at doing but just not done yet. There are people out there who know a lot more than me - my knowledge just comes from watching those people because I find it fun to watch people do that kind of thing. One thing I've seen people run into is not checking the physical size of components and buying a power supply that's physically too large, or a cooling fan that blocks access to some ports. So if you go that route, you want to make sure the parts will all fit nicely into the case you choose. Generally these things have all their sizes and such on the product listing, so you should be able to check.

Also, no disk drive? I know physical media is fading but you probably would want at least one.

Also, yeah, lovely. I "love" when windows forces me to restart when I need to do something and only have a little time... I mean, yes it is important to restart regularly, but let me choose when, gosh darn it!

And also also, yes, porn on a computer is only the result of hackers. We all know this. No one on Earth willing looks at that stuff. Far too lewd!

The case doesn’t event have a disk drive door on the front. But I guess there’s always external ones should the need arise.
Thanks, I’ll be checking to make sure everything fits together before I purchase anything.

@BruceCM haha I’d rather just keep it here hidden in a corner. Don’t want an entire thread just for my hypothetical new pc.

My PC doesn't have a disk drive, since I didn't have any suitable disks & you can hardly get games on those anymore .... Obviously, there's still cases with slots but no point getting all that if you're not going to use it What sort of games are you looking to play, that's always the question? What else do you need it to be able to do? Then, don't get something JUST good enough now, that'll be out of date in a year or 2

Well, I have some steam games, nothing too crazy, My higher end games are stuff like farming simulator 19, bioshock infinite, and resident evil 7. The other uses would be just apps for work, and internet browsing, as usual.

Cool! That'll help those more familiar with details to say how good it'd be .... Make sure to have good cooling, of course

Hm the case says it comes with a fan. I’m hoping that would be sufficient. 🤔

Mine's the Carbide quiet case, which I think is pretty much the same size .... I paid for the liquid cooling, since that was discounted enough at the time & it still has a fan as well

@BabyYoshi12 Most of the more long-time members on here already know my sentiments on the ignore feature, but in short, I find it the ultimate form of defeatism: applying a restriction to yourself, because someone else did something wrong. It's the world upside down, really. I also liken it to a kid putting his fingers in his ears and going "nanananana, I can't hear you"...

So no, I will never use that feature. If you're comfortable with it and happy to use it, then you're welcome to it, but it's just not for me.

@Heavyarms55 Did the page say that the mask translated real time? I don't think it did, but even if that would be the case, I don't even need to understand the differences in sentence structure/grammar, to understand that this would probably be an unlikely claim. Either way, I just figured it'd be a fun gadget to try out, I never expected it to be the pinnacle of translation technology, especially not for that price.

Real time translation is going to cost quite a bit more, and is also still relatively far from being an actual reality. Well, at least for anything that is not at an astronomically high price point...

@Eel Hey there. I'm a bit late to the party, but that self-build PC is looking pretty decent, for a mid-range/light gaming type of rig. I would advise you to also add an internal Blu-ray player, though. These can be had for around $30 - $40 nowadays, so it wouldn't be all that much extra to add to the total cost.

Better have the complete package right away, instead of having to bolt on additional parts over time. Upgrading is another story, obviously, but a physical disc/media drive is always handy to have.

Perhaps we should also tag @NEStalgia so he can look at your proposed specs, seeing as his PC knowledge is probably a bit more up to date than mine...

Random time.
Did you ever wonder what if K.K. Slider songs become DDR songs ?
I have listened to all KK songs, measured the song's complexity based on my DDR experiences and rated the difficulty level with DDR X difficulty scales from level 1 the easiest until level 20 the hardest.
Well, some sneak peek...

Any songs with level beyond than 15 are really hard.
The easiest song was K.K. Lullaby
The hardest song was K.K. Metal

@Anti-Matter where did you get this info from ha

@DenDen
I rated the difficulty level of KK songs based on my DDR experince.
I measured the songs by imagined them being played by feet.
And the level you saw was the level i given based on the possible stepcharts on each difficulty.
For example KK Metal.
When you heard the song, try to tap the beat with your fingers.
As you tap the fingers very quickly on the hardest part, imagined if those tappings are your stepping on the dance pad.
With such intensity like that, i rated KK Metal song on Master difficulty on level 18.
Level 18 on DDR is extremely hard.
Don't even ask about level 19 or 20.

This is exactly what your saying, @ThanosRexxx. If someone is annoying you persistently, you need to be able to push that button. I used to not want to either, but one person kept trying to be a control freak, so I did it. You need to be able to too.

Even if you don’t want to, you still don’t need to respond to everything Anti says.

@BabyYoshi12 That's the thing, though: he's not "annoying me" persistently. And even that is an over-exaggeration. It's not even about someone actively annoying me, it's just that every now and then, I get tired of seeing the same old stuff again and again, because there's just nothing new about it. And as a normal human being, I have my good and bad days, so sometimes, I can stomach it more easily, and sometimes,
I simply cannot. That's really all it is.

And I'm also not responding to EVERY thing that he says. That would be REALLY tiresome...
