More of my PC

I finally got round to buying a new CPU fan and speakers. All I have left is a soundcard and a decent desk.
I also made an attempt at sorting out the wiring in my PC. Its been mildly successful but I think I can do better.
Also I took random pics when I visited my nan on monday. Boring as hell...

I took out the ram because I couldn't fit the cooler in properly. Then I realised the fan was detachable and I almost cried.

Out of curiosity, how do you like your RC-690 case? I heard it's a bit plastic-ey, and I'm not sure whether to buy this or the RC-590. (The RC-590 only comes with 1 fan, if I remember correctly)

Seriously man, you badly need a new desk. Also I think I have the same speakers as you, they are pretty badass! :yaypsp:

I'm loving it so far. But the akward positioning of the power buttons on my case sometimes means that I accidentally turn it off when I move the chair closer to it, seeing as I bump into it. Also, the PSU is put at the bottom so its a bit of a stretch making it reach the necessary ports because of the annoying placement. Other than that, its fucking awesome. Casefans make no sound whatsoever, USB ports are conveniently placed on top, and it looks really classy.

Bitch that keyboard is begging to be upgraded

After my soundcard and desk ;D
I'm thinking stupidly overpriced keyboard with lots of useless functions which I'll regret buying two days afterwards.

Nice.
I'm gonna be building a computer soon.

Seriously, though. That desk is really small.

I know. I should be buying one as soon as my EMA comes in.

Fuck yes! We should get more people to buy this and expand our little club. Shakraka and Antoligy totally need to buy it and we'll have a grand total 5 members :3

Love the cm-690 case. The only thing I think is missing is a heatsink mount on the actual case itself to keep the stress off the motherboard. Also, I've seen some super clean wire management for this case, but I can't seem to pull it off.

Apparently you have to run the cables behind the plate that holds the motherboard. I'm too lazy to do that though...

What temps are you getting with that cooler? I have the same cooler but its for AMD. I'm getting about 58 C on full load (Prime95) and 31 C idle.

Man, I should have got the RC-690 :( . But its $15 more then what my full sized case with two 250mm fans cost.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
