I haven't seen anyone else post a photo of this flex and I thought it was somewhat interesting

I don't like these kinds of flex ribbons. The fact these are meant to be fitted on the screw post between the board and the heatsink assembly does not help to change that. But it's good to know they're out there.

Out of curiousity, why do you dislike flex ribbons for this?

they'll move when you screw in the heatsink, if there's too much stress they can rip D point off motherboard.

The one included with instinct nx is much better designed, although I still prefer to connect everything with wires directly instead of using the ribbon cable

Precisely. There's no horizontal slack, so any movement can stress solder joints or damage traces.

They also raise the heatsink on that screw post (by whatever the ribbon's thickness is) so it will not sit so perfectly flat on the APU die. Not enough to have any effect, even more so with the copper foil and paste... but I don't like that.

Yes, but I'd rather avoid the flex altogether and use wire all the way.

    You ever try program like Gimp or paint.net to make your own character to add to Gdevelop. I have but its so time consuming to make many versions for animation.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, gdevelop itself uses piskel

    Yea pixel is ok, but its a pixel (low bit rate) program, I made a character w walking, attacking, etc animations using paint/ adobe which looked great but took foreever. example: Walking used 8 dif pics each direction.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, GIMP is a lot better tbh.

    @BigOnYa Krita would be better for drawing
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I mostly use adobe anymore, tough to learn, but cool once you do

    @BigOnYa does @Xdqwerty look like someone who can afford adobe?

    Just saying for me, I didn't recommend for him. I think I only Paid $30 for year, damn that's prob coming up now mention it.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I think if xdqwerty ever obtains a drawing tablet krita would be the best software for them to learn.

  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    It's foss and is also very capable
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never tried krita, will have to look it up
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    It cant do image editing but for drawing its really good

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There was a cool Ai character animator tool I found online , can't remember name, but it would take any pic and create animated scenes for you, was expensive, I only tried the trial. I remember getting pissed cause trial would not let you save, just preview.

  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Can't you just do that with a video editor or open toonz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe, but you have to create every frame/pic, walking right may have 8 frames/ pics, walking left 8 frames/pics etc. Takes forever.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @BigOnYa you can just use a plastic deform + keyframes. It's way easier than animating it by hand or paying 100 bucks

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I was kinda starting to learn how to do that with a model in adobe, but haven't messed w in awhile. Been gaming too much lately.
