    Okay so wait, I'm dumb, I've made a finding. It's because I'm duplicating my main monitor to my TV, but my TV is being treated as the main monitor, which is on the 1030. Undoing the duplication fixed the problem. So.... I guess I'll keep messing around with it to see if I can get the duplication to treat the monitor as the main display and not the TV. (I can't believe I didn't think of this before going to the trouble of making a post, oof.) EDIT: So I'm just gonna rework things to where my TV and main display are on the GPU, screw all this LOL. It always wants to treat the 1030 as king when duplicating displays across both GPUs. 1070: Main monitor CRT (right monitor) TV Free HDMI port for VR 1030: Left monitor Top monitor

    Heya, I have a GTX 1070 and a GT 1030 in my PC so I can have my four monitors on my desk and my TV all hooked up at once, while still having my 1070's HDMI port open for my VR headset. It's working great, except for the fact that a lot of games keep wanting to use the GT 1030 and not the 1070... My nvidia control panel has an option to select which GPU to use for OpenGL, but no option for DX. I saw a thread mention that you can select a preferred GPU in program settings, but no such option is there for me. I'd also like to mention that it's acting really weird about letting my change resolutions, it's either blank or greyed out. This is a recent change as I used to use my 2600k's integrated graphics to add my other displays, but I want to stop doing that because Windows won't let me duplicate a nvidia display to an intel one, meanwhile I can duplicate my main monitor hooked to my 1070 to my TV which is hooked to my 1030 and it works great. I really want this to work. Am I SOL or is there something I'm missing? Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. PS: FUCK THE NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL

    I just did a fresh install of W10 LTSC and think it looks pretty. Desktop:

    uh, damn LMAO if me from the Kepler days could see the GPU market right now he'd be so disappointed, like a 60s kid thinking we'd be in flying cars by the 90s.

    I like 2021 so far. Found a Ryzen 3600 on the ground in a pile of dirt. Got a cheap compatible motherboard on the way to test it with... LMAO holy shit

    What's "meningless" about it? We're seeing less and less features/options with rising prices. Tired of the trend. Sure, you don't need more than your built in storage now, but what about in a few years? Oh yeah, you'll have thrown out your current phone by then anyway, good point. Why should a device last? We can just dig more landfills.
  7. JoeCoke
    Let's just remove every feature until phones are just a screen and a back. Built in speaker? Well that speaker is taking up sooo much room that could be used for more "innovation"! And then we could remove the DAC too! Buttons? When's the last time you pressed a button, honestly? Front facing cam? Fuck video calls, that camera is really ruining the clean look! Still using a Galaxy s5, and it wouldn't be possible without an SD card. I don't understand this glorification of losing features. In the end, it's just a way to maximize profit margins, but people eat it up anyway. It's just so forward thinking!

    If the game could run a quarter as well as it did on 1.2.5 I'd be thrilled. Server performance is a joke right now, even with paper.

    Got a 36" Sony Trinitron!!! Was watching a video about one, the guy said he got it on offerup, so I opened up offerup and there it was. LMAO 20 bucks well spent. It has the remote, front cover and everything. Got her all calibrated. It has some minor bowing at the top that couldn't be fixed in the service menu, but oh well. Still incredibly stoked about this! My Panasonic Tau has a better image, but it's only 27" soooooo yeah this is still a big upgrade.

    Yup, usually in my experience the minute someone brings up certifications, I worry for their intelligence. If they didn't have something to prove they wouldn't feel the need to bring it up. And yeah, wifi is usually always fine in 99% of cases. Things like games that use delay based netcode however, yeah every last ms counts and ethernet is really the only option (especially in our pandemic world where competitive gaming is all online now.) But for casual gaming... as long as the signal is good, Wifi will do just fine. It's just the statement that "ethernet is equal to or even better" that got me so hard lmao.

    Right??? Even if Slippi was illegal (it's 100% legal), all it does is bring Nintendo fans together during a pandemic to play a game Nintendo hasn't sold and ignored for over a decade. Nintendo has NOTHING to lose here. Whoever sides with Nintendo on this gives no shit about consumer freedom and loves the taste of boots.
  13. JoeCoke
    You could always buy a Switch used on ebay, that way you get to enjoy the Switch and Nintendo gets not a cent.
  14. JoeCoke
    What the TOs did was completely legal, it's so clear that you have no clue what is going on here. Do at least two minutes of research before you make yourself look foolish please.
  15. JoeCoke
    Piracy is not the issue here. Nintendo bringing piracy into this is a strawman tactic to make Slippi look like the boogeyman. Slippi, events and streams are not piracy.
  16. JoeCoke
    And where does this 99.9% figure come from? Are you prepared to back yourself up with proof or a source of any kind? Anything to show you're not just pulling numbers out of nowhere? I guarantee the vast majority of anyone entering these events owns at least one copy of this game. I've owned it myself several times, got my first copy in 2004. Do I have direct proof of this? No, but you don't either. But as someone who's actually in the community, everyone I know has at least one copy, most have several because at local events you are incentivized to bring in setups for people to play on. Point is, you have 0 proof of this 99.9% claim, it's empty at best.

    Except nobody needs to illegally obtain their image of the game. Saying the events should be closed because some people will enter with pirated copies is like saying stores should be closed because some people will shoplift. Nobody is required to use a "specific rom", I don't know where you're getting this information from. And like I've said, Nintendo does have the right to cancel any event that features their IP, but this has NOTHING to do with piracy or emulation issues which is what they say they're after and besides, legal =/= moral. As far as the legality of Slippi and playing Melee online via emulation, it's all legal.
  19. JoeCoke
    It's the sad reality of how the legal system works. You don't have to be in the legal right to make someone hurt, you just have to have more money than them. Tearing down the little man is all too easy for big corporations, even if they have no leg to stand on.
  20. JoeCoke
    Except backing up your own games is not illegal, and nobody is forcing you to use an illegally obtained ISO of the game. Read: I don't care what Nintendo "literally says", they're lying and they're full of shit.

    Oh yeah, play the new game with 5 second input delay online. Great idea. If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that all Smash Ultimate pro players are basically doing nothing right now because of covid, the online is so bad that it's almost unplayable. Hell, when Melee rollback came out, most ult players were playing Melee because they can't play ult.

    Did NOT expect to see this covered on this site, nice. Yup, Nintendo is fucking dogshit. Facts: Slippi contains no Nintendo code or reference to any of their intellectual property. Project slippi is code injection, not directly modifying the original game code. Emulation is 100% legal and has been proven in court. ROM ownership in itself is not illegal, piracy is. Nintendo has done nothing but stand in the way of the Smash community (not just Melee). Nintendo doesn't have the rights to shut down Slippi. They do however have the rights to shut down any stream containing their IP (because of our dogshit 1700s copyright system). Most companies do not do this however as it's free marketing... Most successful games these days rely on it, Minecraft anyone? Slippi rollback netcode gave us Melee players a way to play the game with little to no lag during a global pandemic when we cannot gather at local events. Other companies embrace modding and community stuff, except Nintendo because they're ridiculously out of touch. Arc System literally hired fans when they made a rollback netcode patch for Guilty Gear. Sega has done similar stuff. Again, most other companies embrace this stuff as it's healthy for any popular game. Unrelated, Nintendo has also been shutting down content creators/streamers of streaming Age of Calamity. Even more dogshit. I could go on for hours. #FreeMelee EDIT: Bonus fact: You can 100% legally play Slippi online. You can rip your own ISO using your Wii (backing up your own games is legal), and the emulator used for netplay is also completely legal. Sure, there are people who will pirate, but emulation and piracy are not the same thing. My Brawl and Melee ISOs were created using my own discs with my own Wii. https://kotaku.com/nintendo-shuts-down-smash-tournament-over-some-absurd-b-1845719656 Anyways, have some sick Melee combos And thank you OP for covering this!

    People get any kind of basic certification and think they're Wendell. Just witnessed one of these so called "people" arguing that Wifi is just as good as any wired connection in everything. Latency, stability, speed, etc. They have "Tech Professional" in their bio and use the emoji every time they make a point. He was 100% serious too, Welp, gonna rip out all the cat5e I ran earlier this year and switch to Wifi. All the time I wasted!

    Would have been a much stronger launch if they had released non X models, or just did away with non X and priced these X models well. It's exciting to see AMD finally grab the gaming performance crown for sure, but this is not exciting at all from a price-performance standpoint. Now we know there will be price cuts (as there usually are), especially considering Rocket Lake next year, but this launch still could have been much better. A 5600 for 200$ would have been mind blowing. Let's see if AMD does it down the line.
