hmm, yeah I duno if I want to go through with this, only to have it suck and have to cancel it. I found this link, which seems to suggest that I can do what you're describing, but I'm easily frustrated by networking problems so just as likely to give up as I am to go through with it...

I've now got the passthrough for the fiber cable to come in through the crawlspace and out my wall behind the desk, but I'm in the same boat as you... I'd have to link my mesh router to their combo modem/router, and I'm not sure how well that'll work. Do I need to cancel my fiber install?

another beefy official update this weekend, and it's great to see the progress they're making! https://monstersandmemories.com/updates/update-20-april-was-no-joke I can't wait to log in and roll up an ogre diplomat!

heat wants to go up. no point pulling in hot air from the top while the hot air is also moving up to get out. generally speaking, bottom/front/side intake, top/back exhaust. you could turn the side into an exhaust, I suppose. Steve went over several configs for this case.

you're gonna love that ergo HX. I was actually gonna suggest a 38" for work, but its still kinda a silly choice. the price spike isn't really worth it, unless your productivity would really benefit from the extra real estate and someone else is paying for it. I'm gaming on a LG38WN95-CW and...

Gigabyte M34WQ is out of stock everywhere and likely discontinued. Dell S34 is the next best on rtings, and yes its chunky, but it looks to fit your budget and use case nicely if you're already hip to rtings, probably not much more we can do fer ya

chatbot, I grant you life!

I don't disagree, it's why I've avoided them, too. But watching this case build, I don't really see many knuckle scaping moments. It looks like modular assembly in SFF cases is improving. And to be honest, I've had plenty of knuckle scraping moments in my O11D Mini, which I guess is technically...

It's probably years off since I just built my current gaming PC last summer, but I'm guessing that my next build will be a small form factor, relatively minimalist, and water cooled. I like the simplicity and small footprint of something like this:

What I gathered from the context and previous descriptions of grabby behavior is that this was happening at Blizzcon, or some other "out of office" event. "tell him to go get a drink", ask people to "take him up to his room", etc. I don't recall exactly where, probably in the WoW is Dead...

it got a pretty good review, despite a few short-sighted flaws If their next case irons out some of the kinks from this one, it should be a really cool case to build in. I'd like to see someone partition some of the front end to make a terrarium

they actually make a great lightweight mouse, the Model O What's wrong with them?

id rather pay more to get better sound than to have a rumble pack on my head. imo, a piece of hardware trying to do too many things usually suffers for it

TLDR, LG removed 120Hz BFI support. Hopefully, it comes back in a future firmware update. https://www.displayninja.com/lg-oled42c2-review/

I picked this up and I'm having fun, but I've learned very quickly that I would not be a good MMO healer. I must be doing something wrong!

MS Rewards increased the # of points required to redeem for 1 month of PC Gamepass from 6800 to 7750. Not a huge deal, it's just 2 additional days of "daily quests" at about 600 points per day. I was already redeeming 2 months of gamepass service each calendar month, so well ahead. *edit...

Bobiverse is the best verse. https://www.audible.com/series/Bobiverse-Audiobooks/B01M1RDL6W?ref=a_search_c3_lSeries_1_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=BB1TBXXPHXAHJMFMJH02 *edit: wtfark, why is my link in fronch?

I've enjoyed the Good Guys saga by Eric Ugland on Audible, perfectly narrated by Neil Hellegers. Very light, lots of humor. Nothing extremely deep, and easy to blow through lots of hours. I've finished book 11. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/u/eric-ugland/good-guys/ The same author does the...

I'm just wrapping up Toll the Hounds on a first read (listen, via Audible) Weaving in the Esselmont books as they fit in chronologically. What an amazing series... I tend to enjoy history and the humanities that Erikson likes to dive into (anthropology, sociology, psychology, etc), and man can...

I played DR starting back on the AOL days too, and I still have a handful of characters. I come back every few years and play for a few months. the game systems have evolved a lot, but the playerbase isn't large enough to keep the world from feeling like a ghost town. I credit DR to my being...

just got the S22+ and the thing is like a greased banana peel. impossible to hold until I put a case on it. I went with my usual Spigen Tough Armor cause the kickstand is handy sometimes. glass screen protectors are wonky and film ones are gross. the hard case and corner/edge bumpers have been...

oh man... considering this... I've got an 11 year old Sony KDL40EX720 in the bedroom that I've been dying to replace. I was planning to get the C2 42 or 48", but the price for the C1 is almost compelling enough to get me to bite. Of course, FOMO and the relatively low cost delta will make me get...

saw this and was interested. I haven't watched the whole thing or read any tech/spec reviews, but I like the unique design. *edit sorry @Crone, somehow I missed your post above.

100% single player. 3d space flight arcade RPG. like descent.

Everspace 2 major patch today I played a bit last year and really enjoyed it... The right balance of sim and arcade, leaning towards arcade for overall QOL and ease of entry. I stopped playing only because I didn't want to spoil the story, and I wanted to wait until more content was in, as...

you're right. and this is why prices are dropping slowly, with retro tariff relief and increasing supply

just received an update via the mailing list! I would definitely buy a T shirt, Shawn! https://monstersandmemories.com/updates/update-19-the-march-of-progress

the retailers will have no problem holding new tariff-free inventory back from sale until they've liquidated the already landed tariff'd goods. nobody wants to sit on inventory, but it's survivable and people will still buy the cards if it's their only option. it just doesn't make sense for...

This. There are gazillions more cell phones in the world than there are consoles and gaming PCs, and people are much more willing to make $1-5 purchases than they are $50-60 ones. I don't really do mobile gaming. I play only 1 free casual game and I purchase seasonal content updates 4-6x per...

interesting, but retroactive going back how far? Will newegg send me a check for the difference on my 3080 purchased last summer? (no) importers have to pay duty/tariffs when the vessel clears customs, which is before it arrives at port. if it is in fact retroactive, they will still have to...

anything that's already landed in the US prior to the tariff change should likely continue to be priced to include tariffs, as those are paid when the vessel clears customs before arrival... its a sunk cost and doesn't just go away post April 1 if it's already been paid by the importers. the...

I vaguely recall the movie, but not the details of the scene... the way it's described is that he takes a new SIM card out of his mouth (I guess he was storing an extra in there) and swaps it into the phone to call his police supervisor. it sounds like it wasn't licked to defeat tracing, but...

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/by-features/ultrawide Gigabyte M34WQ (flat 34" ultrawide 144hz) @ $570 Dell S3422DWG (curved 34" ultrawide 144hz @ $499 both solid.

Mist QFT. Don't go off res and expect to find a gem. Follow the advice of the unbiased pros that test these things to high standards Rtings has a great "best monitors" roundup, including ultrawides. more $ is not always better, but $399 for a 34" ultrawide should smell like trouble from a mile...

yeah, I didn't get my white GPU, but I got the last wave of pre-LHR Asus 3080 TUFs

wow, at $1k too... I had that on my build list back when the 3080s first launched. glad it's finally available! <frustratedsarcasmface>

Interesting, I hadn't caught that. Couldn't you use an adapter plate btwn the arm and the monitor? VIVO Steel VESA LCD LED TV Mount Adapter Plate Bracket for Screens 32 to 55 inches, Conversion Kit for VESA up to 400x200mm, MOUNT-AD4X2
