    And radiation is done! Hopefully I'll start healing in lieu of just getting over the week like I have been.

    Pretty much the same build I'm eyeballing but I was going to reuse my old case.

    Richard Osman - The Thursday Murder Club

    when / if you do and it clicks, take my advice and skip #4. It was a total waste o space.

    Health Problems

    This coming Friday is my last radiation so 3 more including today. Finally ditched the original medical oncologist and saw my 'new' one Monday. For the first time, I felt like I was talking to a real doctor! He told me that they go worst case, so if it's 99% good , 1% bad they ignore the good...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I have that exact unit on my desk. Build quality is good and I didn't feel ripped off. The arms are pretty flexible but moving them around a lot would get into PITA territory.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Thought multiple times about modding the shit out of it to 'fix' the little niggling issues but every time I almost pull the trigger another patch/hotfix comes out and breaks shit. I'm so close I'm just going to finish and wait for the inevitable 'ultra' edition and mod the hell out of that

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    167 hours deep into act 3 - guess I'll wrap this up this week. I'm running out of new places to explore and maxxed cap so exp is meaningless. This is one of those games you do not want to end.

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    Decent if not mind blowing short series. Music was totally on point though.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Yay standing in a unique position all by themselves is the Carolina Panthers. 0-5 ! Maybe we can draft an undersized rookie QB again next year and let them play 'for experience' Getting to the point where it's not worth stealing the streams.

    The Equalizer 3 (2023)

    Watched this with the wife tonight, we both really liked it. The town / village it was shot in was beautiful and looked really good in 4k. Bad guys die / DW kicks ass, standard stuff but worth the watch.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    at what, #1 draft pick again this season? I am struggling to make an entire game before turning them off in disgust. Actually that's been pretty much all NFL games this season.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    that would make cleaning the inside of a windshield easier as well. Clean it 10000x times, still miss spots as soon as the sun hits it.

    Ok I'm half out of my head atm so take all of this with a grain truck load of salt. Please explain what you mean by 'gbm'. FYI next friday (tomorrow week) is my last day of radiation/chemo. I know exactly where they are zapping me as I have a complete bald/white ring around my head. Not sure if...

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    I asked my wife if she had enough 'good' songs to have a concert movie about it. Neither of us were sure. Wife likes pop music way more than me. Is she one of the ones that started in country and moved to pop or am I thinking of someone else? Only 'concert' movie I remember watching is a...

    Richard Osman - The Thursday Murder Club

    Read 4th book, it's a cash in on the name to pay the bills POS. First 3 are really good, that last one is just bad. Hmm I just replied and talked shit about my own thread...may be time for therapy LOL

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    We were watching something and I told my wife it reminded me of 12 angry men. She had no idea (grew up in england so I guess it wasn't required reading) so we watched it. New for both of us as I'd only seen the b&w movie and didn't realize it was remade in color. Still a great movie and well...

    The Boys

    watched 1/2 of ep1 last night. Decent so far. Origin of (assumed) main char was as fucked up as any 'Boys' story.

    Looks like this is out now. Just saw ad for it during the NFL game.

    Ahsoka

    Had no idea what star wars was when we went to see it. Only knew every time we went by that movie theater there was a line outside that wrapped around the building. Figured if it was that popular it had to be good.

    Ahsoka

    I remember watching a cartoon on PBS and a deer mom got killed that fucked me up as a kid , I was 5 or so. Bawled my eyes out asking why etc. Looking back I'm sure my mom/dad wanted to shoot me as if they needed that shit in their day. 2 movies scared me period, the original 'alien' watched it...

    Ahsoka

    Correct, if you still have Netflix check 'toys that made us' or something like that. It has a bit about the Lucas / Mattel toy line that wasn't anywhere near ready for the success of the movie and having to release 'IOU' boxes that christmas. None of us knew what to expect. Lucas did make some...

    Ahsoka

    Age 7, 1977 OG movie - dumb ass kid no idea why but there was always a line around the theater for this film. Dad took us like 3-4 different days trying to get in before the theater sold out (only 2 screens in the whole place and they both showed same movie) Instantly hooked , begged / nagged /...

    that's what I ended up telling the person that billed me. If this needs to get to collections where I can deal with a professional that's fine but I'm not paying for anything that doesn't make sense. That same person wound up calling me an hour later and admitting that it was never sent to...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    It will be my 3rd playthough. 1st I did at release , 2nd a bit later but before the blowout rtx release. Use mods/cheats to 'see' everything as I already knew the story. This time I'll play clean and hope my 3080ti doesn't melt.

    Asshole Chemo Oncologist has routine visit scheduled for this past Monday. I have radiation set at same time (keep in mind this is the SAME COMPANY in 2 different Las Vegas locations). The radiation people tell me to just show up early and they will shift around to work me in. Done. They moved...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    ok I'll get this next. I am in act 3 of BG3. 139 hours in, I see the gate that says 'Baldurs Gate' but haven't gone to it yet. Still trying to find Minsc. Enjoying the hell out of this game but real life health stuff makes me too tired to play.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    worth the full price or wait for it to go on sale? I still have to finish BG3 , then there is Starfield / Armored Core 6 as well.

    btw I don't recall that being a particularly BAD movie , but I did have a hard time accepting Wallace from the wire as bad ass John Clark.

    Been a few years but mine was 'sum of all fears'. I'm going to reread it after I finish the new Elon book (ok so far). This is the book version, with jihadis not the butchered to fuck movie with nazis. That's really all I remember. I also recall thinking Rainbow 6 book was a fantastic way to...

    Health Problems

    To be clear, I meant if it was a viable option, try the shots. They suck , a needle is stuck in your spine and it feels worse than it sounds but it's not as bad (and as non-reversible) as surgery. Also I've had them and it didn't help at all and/or made it worse. If I had it to do all over...

    BTW most of what you described is true of everyone you see that's over 25 to some degree or another. In my case, the central canal was too narrow genetically (thanks Obama dad!) so it was a matter of time. There are OTC and script medications that can help , life style changes, yoga, etc. I...

    Don't know how it works in Houston but my brother has been an electrician since I hired him green in 1996. Never missed a day of work due to layoffs. I did fire his ass a few times until he learned we were not relatives at work but that was for less than a day each time. I list him instead of me...
