    Can’t speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.

    I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don’t need one as powerful as I’d thought I would.



  • When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They’re fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

    Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.

    Been trying to remember if there’s an episode of a podcast I listen to that dealt with this (the modern mann, named for the host, it’s not male-focused, there’s a segment where Alix Fox talks about sex-related questions), and I think there’s a couple that are related but not precisely.

    Communication is definitely one of the things I know have been brought up as very important. Setting expectations and boundaries.

    This may be one of those topics I think you might have to browse reddit to get a lot of experienced/detailed answers for - /r/EthicalNonMonogamy would be the place to search, probably.




  • When it comes to 3D games, if they tried for realism, they can’t, IMO. Stylized 3D can look pretty good even when fairly old, but old 3D that tried for realism just looks dated. Even a lot of 3D games now that try for a more realistic style (outside of the huge AAA studios) look kinda bad to me, but I’m very sensitive to the uncanny valley effect. I mean, even before they updated the models and world, WoW still looked pretty decent long after release.
