Well, my GPU died the other day. Was using a Sapphire HD6870 since 2011 without any issues, but it started malfunctioning through the week, and after three consecutive power outages in one morning started displaying vertical blue bars on the screen. Ended up buying a new one on saturday and when I tried to install it I realized this card had a DVI-D slot instead of DVI-I (why DVI-D exists when DVI-I only has 4 more pins so the production cost difference is negligible and it's capable of every possible combination of pins is anyone's guess) so I had to wait until monday to get a new cable. Just finished installing that, but on the plus side now I'm using a XFX Rx 580 instead and the 7 extra GB of video memory help quite a bit.

@nerthos DVI-I needs the gpu to do analog output, later cards all have dumped any analog out, like my 290 having 4 different digital out, so I need a dp->vga ad converter (not just a dongle) for atleast 1 of my monitors
most motherboards still carry a vga out I think, so if you really need to plug one in and you don't have a converter, that's on option -
@shpuld IF you're going to use the analog output. However you can just fit a DVI-I slot and not connect the analog pins to the GPU, still allowing for the wire to go in without those slots actually doing anything. IMO standarization like that is the most practical option since you can use the same slot and wire for any DVI device. Like phone jacks, which use a standard design despite only connecting two of the pins.

Also since the only HDMI screen I have is the TV I used it to install the drivers and test the card, and discovered my mother loves the landscapes in witcher 3.

To be fair Wales and Ireland have stupid names like Ffion and Aoife

Because people have a /really/ bad tendency to pick the most stupid names if allowed, any MMO that doesn't have strict naming rules is an example of this.

@maiyannah If I were a GM in one I'd ban anyone with numbers or loose letters in their character name unless the game's sci-fi.

I just realised that Miley isn't even a real name

Every time GOG goes on about how it hand picks only the best games, I immediately think of how they sell Ultima IX Ascension.

@gargron I'm guessing it's nerthos whom they don't like since he's pretty vocal about his conservative views. Pretty much everyone else there is liberal.

I definitely am feeling less solidarity with the Fediverse as the weeks go by, and it has little to do with Extinct Mammal.

@moonman I don't think it's that.

Despite that feeling, you guys are still cool to me, even if I spend less time here.

@takecherryakenji @dokidoki As doki said, I do that at times. I get caught up with something else or just not feeling too social so I only check in now and then, like I'm doing lately, rather than keeping this open all day.

when people get split on the morality of sex in society, there's some major differences in world views and understanding certain things
on one hand you have people who believe it's mostly just a recreational activity, a way to have fun as a human, maybe have kids if you feel like it, anything else is just conservatives being authoritarian or fundies being crazy
then you have people who understand that you need children to keep your civilization alive, who understand the primary purpose of sex is to procreate, who understand that promiscuity has psychological impact on people that affects their capability for commitment, who understand that you need stable households to raise those children in (state mandated education isn't good enough, single mothers aren't good enough) https://appleposter.club/attachment/666772- RDN's Lucifer likes this.

@shpuld stable? the 1st world is held together by the ignorance of the western people tbqhfam. you're stuck on a spectrum where things are either good, bad, or somewhere in between
-
@delores stable relatively, no shortage of vital resources and good security, I don't actually believe it's very stable absolutely with the current direction of things.

@shpuld In short on a side you have teenagers and on the other you have adults. Some don't ever make it past 15 mentally.

@delores TBH playing on a phone when there's -anything- else to do makes you look several orders of magnitude dumber than playing on a handheld
-
@delores OK here's my real one adjusted for things that don't happen more than every once in a while. I actually hate saying "normalapple", I don't play handhelds in public or anywhere else, and I'm overweight because of medicine but not sure if fat. https://kiwiposter.club/attachment/667667

@moonman https://bananaposter.club/attachment/667679 No car because I'm saving for a classic rather than buy a bananaty one, and not living on my own because renting is idiotic and I'll inherit a house soon enough. I also find it hard to believe there's someone alive who hasn't stayed inside for over 4 days at some point due to sickness.

@Gargron I used to be like that, the key is to Pi k maybe one or two people in the audience that look friendly and talk to them. Just ignore the rest of the room. Stay on topic, and only talk about things your passionate about.
