For anyone looking for a photoshop alternative and finds gimp to be really difficult to use I found out the website https://www.photopea.com/ is actually really great and has some in development ai based image editing tools that might be really handy (making inserted objects match the texture you are placing them in type things if you want to add a tattoo to someone for example)

Person asked for help You ignored what they asked for help and talked down to them as you simply restated what they were asking for help with. Didn't understand you were being hostile in the firstplace You're the one going to need luck with social disorders that advanced.

You're not gonna believe this because you evidently didn't read my post or the title but... that is exactly what I asked for advice to help me figure out. Mindblown.gif

Obviously. But there is a difference between my room is 3 degrees warmer vs my room is the temperature of the sun.

There is pretty clearly a point where performance begins to cost you exponentially more heat/power for what you get. I'm just trying to find a sweet spot between power draw and what you get for it. If you are willing to give up AAA games in 4k at max settings it shouldn't be impossible to find some significantly lower powered parts that can run your setup.

I understand that the more power a pc uses the more heat it generates but you'd think there would be a market for people that want performance without heat generation or without an insane power bill. I didn't know I was going into unknown territory here haha. Also opening a window makes it hotter because my house is cooled via ac and it is typically in the 90s or hotter outside and with my pc running it is going to be hotter than that with the window open. Unfortunately either my pc overwhelms the ac in my game room or my game room doesn't get good flow from my ac because with my pc running it will be like 90+ in my game room with the pc running. It just isn't working. I need something that I can have some fun with that won't cook me alive.

I'm looking to get a setup that can at least run AAA games at 1080p with max settings or 4k with above high settings and won't give me heatstroke if I play for a few hours. My budget for cpu, mobo, and memory is $1200 but flexible if something really good is near that range and I plan on upgrading my gpu later.

RPCS3 actually just got an update today that gives it a lot more performance on lower end computers. I'd still suggest using a jailbroken ps3 for the compatibility but if you don't have money/space for one and have a mid tier computer you can emulate most of the library pretty well.

Years ago I suggested some emulators and things have come a long way: Libretro/RetroArch - Bundles multiple emulators together so you can launch your games from a single program by simply installing the emulator cores + bioses. The cores I suggest are: Atari800 - Atari 5200 emulator Virtual Jaguar - Atari Jaguar emulator Beetle PC-FX - PC Engine emulator MelonDS - Nintendo DS emulator Gambatte - Game Boy Color emulator Messen - NES emulator Mupen64Plus-Next - Nintendo 64 emulator Pokemini - Pokemon Mini emulator bsnes - SNES emulator BeetleVB - Virtual Boy emulator Flycast - Sega Dreamcast emulator PicoDrive - Sega CD and 32X emulator Beetle Saturn - Sega Saturn emulator Beetle NeoPop - Neo Geo Pocket/Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator Beetle PSX - PS1 emulator PPSSPP - PSP emulator Other Emulators: Citra - 3DS emulator (A version of this exists in RetroArch but the core is not as good as the standalone) Dolphin - Gamecube/Wii emulator (A version of this exists in RetroArch but the core is not as good as the standalone) Cemu - Wii U emulator (Didn't have much of a library and almost all of it was ported to the Switch except for: Xenoblade Chronicles X, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Paper Mario Color Splash, Sonic Lost World, Star Fox Zero, and Yoshi's Woolly World. Any other Wii U game that is popular is better played on the Switch imo) PCSX2 - PS2 emulator RPCS3 - PS3 emulator (note most popular games work well and 70% of the ps3 library is listed as "playable" meaning you can finish the game with hopefully only minor crashes or glitches but some tinkering and googling may be required. It will also require a decent computer to run it. A better solution might be picking up a used ps3 off ebay and just jailbreaking it so you have 100% compatibility and everything just works. Personally I suggest the launch model ps3 as even though it costs more it is also fully backwards compatible with PS2, PS1, and PSP games) Yuzu - Nintendo Switch emulator (This is still a wip and currently ~800 games are bad/broken and 1800 games are good-perfect with almost all of the popular games being near perfect and updates happening incredibly frequently.) Vita3k - PS Vita emulator (50% of the library is listed as playable or better. Personally a PS Vita or PSTV is not that expensive to pick up off ebay and very easy to jailbreak. The PSTV would require jailbreaking to play a lot of games as it doesn't have the motion and touchscreen controls the PS Vita has but there are homebrew tools to allow you to easily play those games and I prefer to play on a tv.) Xemu - Xbox emulator with 80% of the library listed as playable. Requires a good computer. (Imo you are better off jailbreaking an xbox for 100% compatibility) Mame - a massive preservation effort that plays many consoles and arcade games as best as any program is currently able to emulate. Systems include: Atari 2600, Atari 7800, CD-i, ColecoVison, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Game Gear, Sega SG-1000, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Intellivision, Atari Lynx, Neo Geo, SuperGrafx/TurboGrafx 16/TurboGrafx CD, and Wonderswan (Note Mame isn't very user friendly even if it is the best so for any of these systems if you struggle dealing with Mame you can just use RetroArch cores instead)

Looking for something I can take camping and it is okay if it takes awhile to charge but I would like it to charge over usb-c and not be too bulky. Bonus points if it has bt 5.2 and I can run linux mint on it.

I go hiking a lot and need a screen to use as a second display from my phone (I use the phone's display for discord and the monitor for the game played in desktop mode) the screen I'm currently using is simply too big but I'm having trouble finding something smaller that has all the features I'm looking for. 1) Usb c charging 2) Usb c video input (this way I can charge my monitor and phone while I use them via battery bank which is essential for camping) 3) Decent sized internal battery on the monitor 4) 7-10 inches in size. My current monitor is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09G2WHMHD and it checks all my boxes except it is too big(internal speakers not required, I use wireless earbuds). Having trouble finding any solution in a smaller size. Maybe some kind of Ras pie screen?

Can't help with the topic but I wanted to post to say I've seen that vid. She's gotta be one of the top 10 dumbest criminals. Literally photographed herself committing the crime lol.

So I got the Raycons because their ads took me in and I loved the convenience: Wireless charging 50+ hour playback decent enough mic for voice chat and prevents echo loops (speakers + mic + someone talking = hell) no wires to tangle or watch out for while I work keep my ears from melting during the summer (headphones are just too hot) I loved how convenient they were so much it took me until just recently to realize that they actually sound pretty tinny. In fact I'd grade the sound as below average. But I'm not really clued into what the good wireless earbuds are so suggestions are welcome.

I'm using google assistant and I would like to run as much as possible with the google home app and not 3rd party apps. 1) Recently my phone updated and now google assistant won't turn my lights on while my phone is locked and google pay disables itself if I turn my phone lock off (jackasses) anyways I guess I need some kind of hub device now, I just want something to turn on my smart devices on when I say "Hey google, turn on the lights" so would a google home mini be good enough for that? 2) Smart outlets - I just want something I can use directly with the google home/assistant apps and don't have to install a third party app to control. 3) Smart light - I'd like something 100w equivalent or at least 80w preferably that I can control directly with google home. I'd also like it if it could react to my phone or the motion sensor on my smart camera and turn on for a few minutes when I enter the room. 4) Smart security indoor camera - I want something in 1080p with no hub unit (camera only needed to work), nightvision, and free/no subscription online backup of up to a few hours of video for at least a week as well as google integration so I can say things like "Hey google, show me the garage" and have a live feed of my garage on my phone. I would also like to know if there is some way I could perhaps use IFTTT to make it so that when the motion sensor goes off I can set it to turn my smart light on for a few minutes and perhaps play an audio file from my google home mini saying they are being recorded and a copy of the recording has been backed up online and to please leave. Also if possible I would like it to recognize my phone and not react to my presence.
