why is there no :soldering_iron: emoji

are gpus ever going to become affordable again

i was wondering if the inability to run elden ring turns out to be due to a gtx 1060-6gb not being quite enough (despite meeting the minimum requirements), how much it'd cost to get a more recent gpu, and the cheapest 20- or 30-series one out there is apparently still over $700

setting the resolution to 1920x1080 did not fix it, so i think that rules out some kind of incompatibility with ultrawide monitors

we meet all the minimum requirements (have a gtx 1060 6gb, ryzen 3600, running windows 10) and have freshly updated graphics drivers, and we tried the thing about uninstalling epic games launcher, the game still just crashes after the loading screen

the only slightly unusual thing about our computer is that we have an ultrawide monitor, and that we're playing it over a steam link (but it won't launch if we do it without the steam link either)

weird rambly worldbuilding ideas 

so last night, before falling asleep, we (Rose, mostly, I think?) had some kind of dream-idea-worldbuilding-vision-thing

a big pointy castle on a hill, like something out of a gothic horror thing, but the whole thing is a mechanism of unknown purpose that's been there for as long as anyone can remember

most of it is broken, except that maybe it's not because some of the things it does do stop working if you try to fix an apparently completely unrelated part of it

people working with it have figured out what some of it does and how to use it, but some of the things that it does are really difficult to even realize that it's doing them, like retroactively making small changes to history (like making it so that you were wearing a hat all day yesterday or something)

the north half of it is pretty much entirely unexplored, because no one has figured out how to get it to let you into the northwest wing and the northeast wing is as far as anyone can tell just an ordinary dilapidated castle except for the fact that random things in the south half stop working if you try to repair or replace any of the disintegrating furniture or crumbling walls

no one working with it is quite sure they were always the species they currently are. they *were* always that species, they have photographs and family history to prove it, but they might not have been always that species when they found the thing

concept: language where there are two or more distinct counting systems, specifically for use when counting two different things. not like japanese where there are different words for counting different types of things, this is just two or more sets of words for numbers that you can use arbitrarily when you need multiple things separately numbered at once
