Straights be like 

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online That's the most beautiful thing I've ever read. I'm so glad existential despair is keeping people married. <3

@johnrandom@cryptids.online But everyone loves R I T Z.

@johnrandom@cryptids.online Am I too late to watch you execute the hostages?

It is only an hour into my work shift and my greatest aspiration is to take a nap.

@SquidPresident@cryptids.online sounds like a dietary issue. Eat more fiber.

Hoping to figure out one day whether I actually liked Java or if it's just Stockholm syndrome

@cambridgeport90 @freemo I'm pretty happy with my MSI and it's 950 mobile series Nvidia. I can play games on it, often with odd settings. I can only barely tell the difference bettween a game running at 30-45 FPS vs 60+ FPS.

Most of the games I play are of the 4X type, with a few first person shooters. It works well enough.

I do, of course, have a dream rig with bells and whistles and wholly silly RGB lighting, but I'm fairly content for it to remain a dream for now. :P

@freemo For sure. But, it would be FUN to see what could happen. Just for shits and giggles.

@Surasanji For most people yea it would be a waste of power even for extreme games (one of those cards can max out any game). For what i do though I max out not just my cards on one box but across half a dozen similar boxes all at once.

@freemo I wouldn't want 4 graphics cards, even in a dream build. It's just not required. The amount of power draw vs the actual gain in FPS just wouldn't be worth it. Diminishing returns and all.

Maybe two in my *dream* build, maybe.

But, you're doing machine learning and AI stuff- which makes a lot more sense for what you got there.

I consider myself a gamer, and while I'd love to see what your rig could do with my favorite games, it is as you say, overkill, for gaming. :)

@freemo It works well enough for Stellaris and I certainly don't need to power you do for your work.

Still, I wouldn't mind an upgrade sometime in the future. For now, I'm still in the laptop world just because of space and whatnot. Another two years or so, and I'll probably upgrade at that point.

So my desktop has 32 CPUs and 64 gigs of memory, and 2x nvme 960 pro in RAID 1 configuration. Not to mention 4x Vega 64 water cooled frontier edition graphics card (for OpenCL work).

I'm not even sure I can call this thing a Desktop Computer anymore, its more like a low-end supercomputer. No matter what I throw at it it responds instantly. What a fucking beast!
