#i just upgraded my pc

[hes-a-plant]

Adhd? Nah nah. It’s a CPU problem, my dude. My processor is super outdated and doesn’t have nearly enough threads to process daily functions. Keeps having to restart tasks, because it doesn’t have enough power to keep track of multiple things at a time. That’s why I get distracted so easily. No other reason.

#I knew I shouldn’t have bought that discount pc #pls note I know jack shit about computers #literally just enough to buy one and hopefully not get ripped off #adhd #adhd memes #computer memes #computer science memes #adhd stuff #adhd brain #man I wish I could upgrade my cpu #with this metaphor stimulants for adhd are basically like giving a computer steroids and hoping it works lol #I’m glad I’m not a computer

[mightbebobbie]

this is so off topic from my usual text posts but my god ive been thinking abt replaying elden ring lately, simply bc i want to murder mohg for what he did to miquella,, hoping the dlc releases soon!! in the meantime i will continue to play league of legends lol

i'm upgrading my gaming pc today!! so excited! my bf surprised me by ordering the parts for me.. he's able to upgrade his pc through work and get reimbursed, so he just ordered doubles of everything he got for his computer.. so we can basically upgrade both our pc's for the price of 1. i'm so happy, he's so sweet.. he definitely didn't have to upgrade my computer too 🥺

#everything's out for delivery right now!! #i'm going from a rizen 5 to a rizen 7 7800X3d cpu #and upgrading my graphics card from a 3070ti to a 4080 super #idk much about building computers lol but i know thats a top tier graphics card #sooo excited #gaming pc #also getting new memory that he says is faster?? #i'm just excited to play dragon's dogma later at max settings and not have low frame rates in the big cities lol

[neotula]

i love character creation!!!!!!!!!!!!

#warframe #tula plays games #tula plays warframe #my graphics could look nicer #and i could still run it at a good fps #but it makes me computer cry #and by cry I mean marginally louder than normal #technically I’m in the market for a new graphics card #but this one works! I can play everything I want to! why would I get a new one? #(the answer is that this one is getting up there in years and it was secondhand when I got it) #and I’d rather be…prepared #and at least considering getting a new one if it does crap out #I have the money saved but I am waiting for now. #and (even better) my other pc parts should be good for a good bit longer #since my graphics card was second hand I was able to get everything else a little better than what was needed for the gc #so upgrading will be easy #arguably my monitor isn’t a super good one either but I’m not like….one of those people who needs crazy good monitors #I’m just happy I can get 60 fps in most things I play nowdays #I’m used to playing at like 20-30 for years

[mmthemayoarts]

never had much of FOMO on anything, but I see buddies on steam playing baldurs gate 3... like, all the time.........mmmmmmmmhhhhh so happy for y'all....... yeah

#no way my pc could handle it and the plan to upgrade is always interrupted i suffer #just as long as my current pc won't die randomly ill be okay

[wikagirl]

you know, fl4k and my pc aren't so different if you think about it. I love both of them dearly, both have outdated hardware and everyone acts surprised when I tell them their age and both have a several year long backlog of updates that are being put off until the end of days because it screws over their systems (probably)

#random #fl4k #my pc was originally win 7 then i upgraded it to win 10 #win11 literally doesnt work on this thing and it makes my pc bluescreen after being on for just a few seconds so i downgraded back to win 1 #and it will remain like this until i can afford a new built #I've been adding and changing parts on this badboy since 2013 and by that point it was allready several years old cuz I got it second hand #and when the day comes my brave little trooper will become the host server of many fun multiplayer sessions in ARK valheim or minecraft #I call him fieri bc he has a flame sticker on it like the ones on guy fieris shirt #had it allready on the day I got the lil guy #I have the headcanon that fl4k keeps putting off their updates bc they could potentionally overwrite their free will

[made-nondescript]

additional note if getting texts/phone calls/notifs stresses you out and makes you want to put your phone on silent a LOT i implore you to set you notif/ringtone to some fun sound. mine are the minecraft xp level up sound and other side respectively and im on silent WAY less now. and it's so fun to hear a silly little game sound guys

#and you don't have to download anything sketchy or pay!!!! #i recorded the sounds/song from youtube using an audio recorder on my pc and then emailed them to myself #super easy #and was a huge quality of life upgrade for me - a guy who is just so scared of texts

How do you take such gorgeous Skyrim screenshots? Also updated mod list for lighting and texture and such? Or a very basic one at least? Not sure if it’s still in your bio

Hallooo and thank youuu :3

lighting & basic photography skills ofc apply to gaming photography, so fiddle around with the weather & lighting/time with a mod like KreatE or Photo Mode. you can also use the freefly cam SKSE plugin instead of Photo Mode if you wish (you can use both at once, check the Photo mode description about the compatibility tho).

(btw if you use the freeze time for everywhere (or somethin like that) setting in KreatE, you will get an infinite loading screen if you try to travel somewhere else, so make sure you disable that before doing so!)

My bio/about page has the info you need but i'm due to make an update post anyways since im bored as shit :^D

My modwatch list has the mods i currently have in-game & i pretty much try to get it up to date. The Modlist tab on that site is meant to be read from bottom to top, idk why the site does that - probably to show what overrides what. BTW tick the Inactive Mods box under the modlist tab, then CTRL+F for "separator" & you'll find some organized stuff thru that. just be sure to read above the separator.

^ i'll probably make a google doc/spreadsheet later to make it easier to read since some of the mods are all over the place in my list cause of wanting to override certain things. plus that modwatch list is so overwhelming especially since i have like 1400+ active mods wtf 💀

this ask/reply i made about my modlist is somewhat outdated, but i still use some of the retextures and most of the mods listed there.

this ask too (base textures are very outdated, everything else i may or may not still have).

anywayzz under the cut has a general list of updated/new retextures & replacers i currently* use in my skyrim se game, or missed in my first modlist long-post. i'll probably go more in-depth with the mods in the spreadsheet when i get around to making it.

*as of 6 september 2023. again, see my modwatch list for the up-to-date list yepyep

no links to everything because i will probably hit the character limit & the new post editor messes things up whenever i try to edit.

[ texture 1 <- texture 2 ]

^^^this indicates texture 2 is overriding the base, texture 1 etc. got it?👍

also im using Mod Organizer 2. idk how vortex works or if it allows to do these kind of things yahhh

ENB:

- Using NAT.ENB III & its own weather mod. - Sometimes i'll switch to using Cabbage ENB if i want something cooler-toned (discord exclusive tho..lol....)

Lighting mods are still the same; EVLaS & Lux, etc, plus Twilight Sky overhaul/textures are still the same i think

Architecture:

Noble Skyrim <- Skyland AIO <- whatever town/building-specific retextures e.g WiZkiD Riften and Ratway, Spice of Life, Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins, etc <- misc exterior retextures &lt;- interior retextures <- mesh replacers e.g Nordic Stonewalls, SD's Farmhouse Fences

Landscape:

Skyland AIO <- Grass mods <- MystiriousDawn's terrains + Atlantean Landscapes + Vivid Landscapes Parallax Occlusion Snow. many things to mix & match and play with here so do what u wish as there are many on the nexus.

Water is still Water for ENB (Shades of Skyrim option)

Mountainzzzz & rawkz:

Skyland AIO <- Enhanced Rocks and Mountains (for the fixes) <- Rapid Rocks, Skyrim 3D Rocks, slightly Better Rock Cairns you can also use Majestic Mountains if you prefer the textures but idk, i had issues so i switched to using ERM and Skyland's mountain textures

if you just want to use one singular retexture mod, Skyland AIO or Skyrim 202X are your best bets since they cover almost everything, it also depends on what style you want. yah!

Treeeeees:

Nature of the Wild Lands <- Traverse the Ulvenwald you can use one of either the two tree mods but i use both to make my computer suffer because i couldn't decide on the two. plus makes very dense forests with the additional trees the two mods adds but there will be bugs in-game such as floating trees (rarely), two trees in one spot. the latter can be fixed with bashed patches, if you're familiar with those. also using Cathedral Assets Optimizer to downscale the tree models & textures to 1k/2k can alleviate frame drops & ur computer crying (unless youre in like falkreath)if u dont want either of those, there's performance friendly trees such as fabled forests, happy little trees, aspens ablaze, or blubbo's trees etc

Grass:

QW's Grass Patch 2 + Origins of Forest - 3D Grass Reduced (loaded after the grass patch in the plugins section) <- ENB Complex Grass patches

Plants & flowers:

Plant-specific retextures e.g Mari's flora, Cathedral <- Blubbo's Shrub Replacer <- Less Ugly Tundra Grass <- TB's 3D Nettles, TB's Better Ferns (i didnt realize these models were everywhere until i used this LMAO), etc.

there are also the dumb niche things i download that override these textures like chains (or bloody rags. fucking. bloody. rags. or fuckin garlic.).

again, go thru my modwatch list if you want to snoop around. ctrl+f the term "-Misc Retextures & Replacers_separator"

or u can check the old modlist post for the links to some :d

enjoy & happy modding🫡

Finally cancelled my business coaching sub. Which I really really REALLY didn't want to do because I'm shit at business things and this probably was much more useful than the Schoolism sub for me 😅 But with the way my bank account has been lately I just can't keep it any longer. Hopefully I can join again at some point, though, this was great stuff specifically tailored to small creative businesses.

#random stuff #I also couldn't use it as much as I would've liked because of the constant brain fog #so there really wasn't an excuse to keep the expense any longer #hopefully this will alleviate my financial situation a little bit though #it wasn't *that* expensive but still about 60€ per month #now I'm honestly down to the bare bones in terms of monthly expenses #actually it would be great to get a few clothing items some time 🙈 #my one pair of jeans shoes and 2 sweaters have started to disintegrate lol #I don't really care about impeccable clothing but it's starting to become a little uncomfortable #BUT inall honesty #I'm not sure if I would prioritize new clothes over upgrading my PC lol #I can use the PC for creating things that potentially can make some money #whereas clothing items can... not #and I can't go outside a lot anyway so #so maybe as long as they're good enough to not fall off of my body #I'll just keep thinking it would be nice to get new ones some time XD #that's definitely a downside of not having any parents or grandparents left #you're just stuck to your own devices #(or more like the devices of the state in that case)

have finally come across a reason to upgrade my computer and its fucking minecraft

#trying to setup multiinstanceing for speedrunning #think my cpu can only handle like 6 instances max #im not 100% sure how old my computer is but my cpu came out ~5 years ago (ryzen 5 2600x) and it only has 12 threads #prolly just gonna build a new pc instead of upgrading my current one tho #would like to have smthing in a smaller form factor #and I really want to not have a nvidia card

[dragonforsale]

Man ffxiv is such a scam

#i thought i would try it because i upgraded my pc recently so it can actually play new games #and the starter edition is $20 which is fine but then i have to pay a subscription 12.99 a month to keep playing??? #and its not even like i can buy a more expensive addition and get out of the subscription fee #you're stuck paying it no matter what #i would understand if it was just a subscription fee #but i have to fucking buy the game on top of that #fuck that #ill stick with gw2

[eljeebee]

Just a random thought, but would there be animations of sims 3 converted for sims 4? like the dancing and stuff, the kissing interactions, etc etc. or is this just wishful thinking? sometimes everything in TS4 is so cartoonish it sucks...

#the way i'd do ANYTHING to have my laptop upgraded into a pc just so i can run TS3 #cries #lana rambles #on and on about #ts3 #and #ts4

[you-have-made-a-fatal-error]

need to shell out for a new laptop before the end of the year - for a lot of reasons but mainly bc support ending for win8.1 makes fixing the current beast rather pointless :/ (and. admittedly. there is a lot to fix. she's old and she has suffered.)

but my current beastie is from the last gen of laptops with a disc drive and the thought of using an external/usb disc drive is enough to make me cry tears of blood

#really though it is time to upgrade #and i hate to say it because she /runs/ fine it's all hardware issues w parts that can absolutely be replaced #but if i can't use it to run the programs i need then shelling out the money for those parts would ultimately be a waste #but also the fact that this machine that runs fine is no longer worth fixing bc some google-based bullshit just won't support win8.1 anymor #is ALSO a fucking waste & a pile of planned obsolescence bullshit! and i hate it! #but uh. even though she runs fine and she totally does. she does need. uh. #new keyboard (only 1/3 of keys work; currently use usb keyboard) #new trackpad ribbon cable (trackpad does not currently work; using external usb mouse) #new power button and connecting ribbon cable (turning it on involves opening it up and causing an intentional short-circuit every time.) #(a problem largely solved by simply never turning her completely off- except she also needs) #a new battery (current battery does not charge at all; machine needs to be constantly plugged in or it shuts down immediately) #...ok i might be the 'this is fine' dog about this #but i am still upset! that i will no longer have a disc drive inside my damn laptop. #that's the disc drive's natural habitat; that's where it should be; it's weird and offputting to have it connected via usb! #ack. why do tech companies fuck everything up. #and that's without getting into the way new devices offer less harddrive space so people will use the fucking cloud or whatever??? #yeah sorry no i'm not using your goddamn data mining corporate off-site storage i want to keep my shit on my own goddamn machine #go to actual hell if you're trying to sell me a pc with less than at least 500GB of storage i swear to fuck #...in essence you could say the whole process is leaving me rather grumpy

[maranull]

bg3 characters I wanna make (and one i already made)

Mar (my 1st and current run): Tiefling Druid that generally tries to do good, but will go through shady things if she's feeling curious enough. Which she often is. Has a big crush on Karlash.

Unnamed 1: Gnome Bard that is here to play songs and joke around. If an option is funny, she would do it. Is really into Lae'zel and will overwrite her here-for-the-funny mindset if there's an option that would help her lizard wife. (they're married only in her head but don't tell her that)

Unnamed 2: Not sure on race yet, but Oath of Ancients Paladin that has to "fix" everyone. Not sure how long she'll keep her oath, I'll let the game take her storyline naturally. Due to her "fixing" obsession though, she gets stuck on trying get Shadowheart off of Shar's talons. Their romance begins with a wrong mindset but develops into a healthy one. (we don't do dysfunction here sir)

Blir (Dark Urge): Dragonborn Monk. I'm thinking she retreated in a monastery trying to suppress her impulses, and after that she lost her memory. Dunno if this is countered by the actual storyline of the origin, but I'll cross that when I get there. Her main goal is to survive and keep everyone alive, all while fighting both herself and all the other enemies a Tav normally has.

#baldur's gate 3 #bunch of oc ideas #might do small changes here and there but i think i'm pretty set on them #i'm also thinking doing a fic for the dark urge where it tells the story and actions of blir in purely written form #but that's just a very vague thought #don't hold me on it #also i wanna do a ranger playthough at some point but i'm not sure what type of character that'd be #i think they'd be too similar to mar so maybe will do it far into the future #OH YEAH #i'll do it after i have upgraded my pc so i can see the karlach romance in HD #solution found all good #:P

Man, not being able to play baldur’s with friends is probably taking a bigger toll on my mental than I’d like to admit and I really hope the patch is released on the Mac soon ;;

#I really should just ……….. upgrade my pc #I say as if I have hundreds of dollars laying around
