I just read that the 3950x orders excel 16 times the available stock. (German) https://www.computerbase.de/2019-11/ryzen-9-3950x-tr-3970x-3960x-verfuegbarkeit/
Yowsa! That's a lot, even at that high price!Tuesday, 26-Nov-19 12:53:34 UTC from web -
I just wait a little bit longer upgrading my PC. I bet the price will be slashed soon to make it less painful.

@drinkingpony Of course! And then I need to mount my shelves to my ceiling!

@drinkingpony https://www.alternate.de/AMD/Ryzen-9-3950X-Prozessor/html/product/1576431? I don't know but this is the price tag on that here.
-
I just saw the price of the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x and I'm speechless. Almost 1000€ (with taxes) is too much for me.

@adiwan A visualization of my grievance. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875341

@scribus At first I wanted to say that these kind of spines are fine but then I remembered from my childhood how infuriating these are. I once collected Disney comics that are collected in books that are about the size of a manga (about 200 pages and the page size is about the same as a typical manga). It was not easy for me to get all books with a limited budget and in a pre-internet era. So I lived a long time with incomplete pictures staring at me like a Scrooge and Donald with hacked-up faces. Not only that but when I had a complete picture, due to the production inaccuracies, the picture didn't align perfectly (a 2mm offset!), which is infuriating in its own right. F those spines!!!

Usually I put a book series in the shelf from right to left in ascending order. However these double-volume books have the annoying thing that the two volume numbers are side by side. So Right now the shelf looks like this: 7 + 8, 5 + 6, 3 + 4, 2 + 1. I think I'm the only one (member of the left-to-right-reading society) putting books in "reverse" order.
-
I cannot be helped. I bought a giant Ranma ½ DVD box set. I tried to find a source for the episodes for *free* but I couldn't, only few episodes. The English dub is horrendous, even the German dub is a ton better, however only half the series was dubbed in German. I guess I'll hook up my soft-modded XBox to watch them in Japanese with English subtitles.
-
I tried reading the "Urusei Yatsura" manga and it was awful. Same author as "Ranma ½". It was pure cringe. No redeeming qualities.

@drinkingpony The first Japanese release had it implemented in hardware. Very quickly it went away by emulating that in software and then altogether. Also the flash card readers were gone faster than anyone noticed that it even existed. When I bought my used PS3 I tried to open the flap to the reader until I realized that the amount of force I put onto the plastic was unreasonable and figured out that it was removed after the first revisions.
-
@scribus That's what I tried to do with a heap of defunct SNES and PS2 controllers too. IMPOSSIBLE.
-
@drinkingpony Instead of 'new' you can use 'hardware update' or 'revision'. Nintendo (and all other gaming console manufacturers) always made updates of their hardware to make it better (lower production costs, increase reliability...). Although the worst revisions were those of the original Wii, first revision had no gamecube support, and then the Wii Mini got rid off all internet features. For instance game controllers have the most revisions and they are all hidden. I've opened a dozen of PS2 controllers and only few pairs of controllers were from the same revision. Even the rather simple SNES controller has at least 3 different variants.
-
@drinkingpony Compliant and flexible mechanics are cool and have a lot of benefits (like not totally destroying everything on a failure like a fall) but in this case of a load-bearing mechanism plastic is rubbish and cheaper to produce. The Switch Lite only exists to cut costs and increase the yield and profit.
-
HELP. More books are on their way.

@scribus To be honest: my regular comics contain more tiddies per page than Ranma ½, like Rat Queens or Saga
-
@drinkingpony I like a manga. I turn slowly into a weeaboo.
-
I'm a fool. I bought and read the first two volumes of the Ranma ½ manga because it was super cheap on sale and I was curious. I think I like it?
-
@drinkingpony There are full machines available that have a 40W CO2 laser for about 300€. Maybe I think about getting a 500mW laser for 30€ but it doesn't have a power supply (12V) but I guess I have one somewhere in the attic.
-
Why are lasers so expensive? I just want a 5500mW laser engraver without spending about 100€.
-
@drinkingpony Life finds a way... also (automated) content filtering isn't flawless and manual review is costly. Honestly I haven't tried to discover new content on tumblr for a long time (longer than 2 years).
-
@drinkingpony I'm glad none of that shows up on my dashboard, however discovering new content through tags or the "explore" page was a huge gamble as well. Twitter is not exempt of that too. I was browsing the VR tag and there were an uncomfortable amount of porn. I'm avoiding looking for new stuff in social media.
-
@scribus When I used to check on my tumblr followers I got triggered. Lots and lots of MLP pornography shared openly.
-
@drinkingpony The MLP episode of The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. There was only a brief segment about the male demographic of MLP fans. It was a bit cringy. Could have been definitely be worse. I flinched only twice during that.
-
Thankfully the cringe was very short. I expected it to be worse.

Minute 37 and the cringe begins.
-
I'm barely prepared to cringe 45 minutes with the MLP episode of The Toys That Made Us. Any time "bronies" are mentioned it is hard for me not to cringe. Compulsively retracting all my muscles in disgust.

A new episode of The Mandalorian and The Toys That Made Us has a new season out today. Much to binge.
