So I've been itching my mind since yesterday trying to find that one yt video playlist that contains futurefunk songs. I listened to it around 2020 - 2021, it included moeshop. The thumbnail was with an anime girl that has her tits out but the nipples were covered with a Barcode. It starts with "yoroshiku onegai shimasu, Senpai" then followed with an English rap... If anyone remembers, pls let me know🙏

so i've had this thing for a while now and it's been treating me well, i7-14700HX, RTX 4070, running on 16GB DDR5. for most games it holds up fine but i've been noticing some stutters when i have a lot of stuff open in the background (discord, browser with like 15 tabs, game running, etc.)

planning to throw in another 16GB stick to hit 32GB dual-channel. the laptop has 2 SODIMM slots so there's room. also thinking of adding a second 1TB NVMe SSD in the second M.2 slot since my current one's getting full fast.

questions for people who've done this:

1. is the jump from 16GB to 32GB actually noticeable for gaming + multitasking or is it more of a placebo thing at this point?

2. does it matter what brand i get for the DDR5 SODIMM as long as the speed matches (5600MHz)?

3. for the SSD, it supports PCIe Gen 4, should i just get a Gen 4 drive or would a Gen 3 work too (even if slower)?

not really looking to max it out to 64GB right now, 32 feels like the sweet spot. just wanna make sure i'm not overthinking this before i spend money lol

anyone here running the same or similar unit? would love to hear how the upgrade went

so i'm looking for new stuff to watch and i'm really into mecha but i'm open to other genres too

quick disclaimer before anyone says it: i have watched gundam. all of it. yes all of it. please do not recommend gundam. i appreciate you but no

for mecha specifically i've seen the obvious ones but i'm wondering if there's anything more obscure or underrated that doesn't get talked about enough. i'm fine with older stuff too, doesn't have to be recent

for non-mecha i'm pretty open, i like action and i don't mind if the story gets dark or complicated. i actually prefer it when the writing takes itself seriously

the only things i'm not really into are pure slice of life and overly long shonen with 500 episodes of filler

any suggestions appreciated, bonus points if the mecha has good lore or an interesting world behind it and it's not just robots punching each other for 24 episodes

so i've been drawing on paper with pencil for a while now, nothing serious just sketching for fun. my friend told me to try ibispaint and i downloaded it but haven't really opened it properly yet because it looks kind of overwhelming

my main question is like, if i already know how to sketch on paper does that help at all with digital? or is it basically starting from zero because the tools are completely different

also i keep hearing people talk about stabilizer and layers and blend modes and i have no idea what any of that means. is there a big learning curve even if you already know how to draw

and is ibispaint specifically a good place to start or should i be using something else for a beginner. i don't want to invest a lot of time into an app and then find out pros don't actually use it

sorry if this is a dumb question i just don't want to download a bunch of stuff and give up after a week

so i've been eyeing Armored Core 6 for a while now and it's currently 50% off on Steam so it's sitting at like $30. never played any AC game before, only fromsoft experience is a little bit of elden ring before i gave up

main things i'm worried about:

is the learning curve insane? like i don't mind hard games but i don't want to spend 80% of my time in a parts menu i don't understand

also is there an actual story or is it just "cool robot go shoot" because i actually care about that stuff

and does it have replay value or is it a one and done type deal

sorry if this is a dumb question, just don't wanna drop $30 on something i'll bounce off in 2 hours
