    Desktop Computers

    I read a review that said to look for a 2080Ti. I dug around for one with no luck for a bit and went back to the 3060. I'm not crazy about used pc parts. I don't ever feel comfortable with a slight discount on a part that's used when a new one is like 10% more, particularly with no warranty. I...

    Desktop Computers

    I'm building a new machine for 2 main purposes: 1. Box at least 54 toons in EQ on an emulator server - it's all about CPU and RAM, old EQ could give a shit about video card 2. Tether my Quest 2 VR headset to my PC to play VR skyrim and other VR games. This will require a decent video card and...

    I saw the refernece to how easy it is to OC with MSI boards, what about Asus? I've been a big fan of Asus for years to the point where if I'm building for myself I ALWAYS go Asus.

    Playing games and streaming video of him playing is what he wants to do with it. Her son is 13. Kid seems like a pretty dedicated gamer but I suppose between money and how whimsical kids are she doesn't want to spend too much. Anyone else have a recommendation on an entry level...

    Desktop Computers

    Friend of mine is looking at buying this for her son: HP 6300 Professional Desktop Computer 16GB RAM 500GB HDD Windows 10 Home Includes Mouse and Keyboard - Walmart.com It's right about $250. Is there any comparably priced machine that's a better bang for the buck? I know that's not much money...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Hey I've been playing off and on since 2016. Friend code is 776905523051. Remote friends didn't seem super helpful near as much until the remote raid passes they put in recently. Friend me up and let's roll some shit!

    Fire Stick vs PC

    I was looking at fire sticks on Amazon's Prime Day sales. When I looked at the capabilities I couldn't see anything that stick does that my computer doesn't. The fire stick looks like it gives you access to netflix and all the other streaming services plus a little googling says it can store...

    I signed the exclusive thing with her. We went over it and it's binding only for houses she shows me and we discussed if results weren't happening we could end the deal. Navy Federal coordinates with realty companies to split the realty closing costs for the mutual benefit of the buyer...

    That is my EXACT opinion. Why not just be honest about the whole deal and lay out services for drawing up contracts, state that your value is navigating the home purchase process between a buyer/seller and the other realtor/party involved plus the bank and all the city, state and local...

    So I'm banking on that new normal. We're supposed to get an improved telework policy whenever we actually do go back to the office. I'm betting next year before that happens though. I'm still working through buying a house. It's new construction, nearly finished. The builder is having a hard...

    Offer in on a house, negotiated, accepted and now it's appraisal and inspection hoops.

    We wrote an escalation clause and still got jacked. It's possible the other bidder just agreed to outbid us with knowledge of my bid or maybe without. I'm going to check to see what the house closes for. I started hearing things like owners want to sell to families, not single guys and I was...

    So I put an offer on a nice house about 2 weeks ago. It went on the market Wednesday. I saw it Monday after work and put an offer on it the same day but some other people won the bid. I started $14k under asking and went to $6k over asking while the owner's realtor kept telling my realtor they...

    Home buying thread

    EVERYTHING we saw today was a bust, literally everything. The listing agents really dressed the houses up to look like more than they really are - both my RE agent and I agreed on that. It's all a learning experience though so I really don't mind. I learned a shitload about what I like, what I...

    Went out to Woodbridge yesterday. I found one house I love on 1.22 acres. Needs a big soaking tub put in it but it's an awesome house well below $600k too... Realtor showed me a bunch of other houses in Woodbridge that frankly kinda sucked. The house would be nice but holy fucking shit...
