I’m so tired. I’m gonna go off the grid. the only “VR” I’ll experience is whatll happen when I put two coconut shell halves over my eyes while I’m having a really intense acid trip

Did y’all determine that it is likely the RAM? I can ship you some spare DDR4 to test if need be.
I don’t know shit about Ryzen except the build I did back in March without a hiccup.
Non-reference 5700 series cards are out. This review features a Sapphire branded 5700XT which is only $10 above reference price and has dramatically better thermals and noise.
everytime I update to a new windows version thing vlc quits taking screenshots and I can’t remember how I fix it
the fix is using a video player that isn’t terrible
mpc is for my tv, if I use it while the tv is turned off it will forget the tv exists
mpv is right there
hell, it’s ultra portable, it won’t even fuck with anything

No it wronged me when I tried using linux once
also vlc supports bluray menus
I don’t get how it could wrong you in linux of all places, where the OS can install all the fun extra bits to do dumb shit like watching YT videos and other livestreams
menus are just there to stop you from the glory of command line switches and config file fuckery
that’s weird I don’t remember this line of Ozymandias

maybe I am extremely lucky or using the right braindead distros but I’ve never had issues with mpv in linux
just a lot of typing mpv somebullshit.mkv or obviouspornurl into the terminal and watching
besides, you’re just loading the file and going to timecode and smashing the screenshot button a million times
I won’t make you give up on the cone
You talking about the sound?
You can just right click and select the sound device.
What’s up with the recent VLC hate? It used to be well liked?
VLC is still great for the most part, but it’s also a big pile of Qt interface cruft and somewhat-more-exotic-than-necessary display implementations.
mpv is generally better / simpler / more efficient unless you need VLC’s more exotic features like the web frontend or or the audio compressor (both of which I use when I run VLC on my projector, compared to mpv in every other use case).
also the default Windows VLC skin is hideous & they don’t seem to care & the alternative is downloading stuff from deviantart(!) https://www.deviantart.com/maverick07x/art/VLC-MinimalX-385698882 that breaks keyboard shortcuts somehow. it’s an old codebase.
is there any variant of mpv that isn’t CLI because I am an idiot and don’t want to learn how to use computers well
well it’s like mednafen in that it always launches with $ mpv /path/to/file and there’s no file browser interface or any of that but you can put all of your config options in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf and then just associate it as the default video player so that you can double click to open them like normal
nothing to do with sound it’s that if I open mpc with the 2nd monitor off, it doesn’t see a 2nd monitor, so it gets rid of “default to 2nd monitor for full screen” checkbox in it’s settings, which is annoying next time the 2nd monitor is on. and I don’t need madvr or reclock or bitstreaming or whatever for watching every little thing on my shitty tn monitor anyway.
anyway none of this matters I just need vlc to take screenshots again.
maybe… just try dipping into the settings and check/do try:
- assinging the same keycode/-combination to the screenshot funxtion again
- set/select the target-directory where to put pictures again
… since it is not uncommon to override these without asking or noticing ze user. Since you’re recompiling your kernel and compositor regularly, you’d never forget to try that, and by now it is almost a normal installation-procedure, right?.. right?!
