    Got the Dell Advantage rewards from buying the desktop and monitor during the President’s Day sale; grabbed a Logitech G502 Spectrum mouse and the Corsair K70 LUX mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX Red), basically just had to pay the taxes.

    I hit 16 on crocs and moved over to SK/Lake Rathe for a bit, would head to Unrest/Guk but not sure I want to duo while playing an enchanter in a pick up when the puller is chain pulling 5 - 6 mobs at a time.

    Playing on Ellesera and Prodigal - True box setup is a mess right now so might have to spam me - xp is good killing yellows.

    With that bonus I’ll grind to max this weekend on an enchanter - still debating boxing a druid.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah I grabbed the Switch - for $224 with free shipping I figured if I didn’t like it I could sell it for what I paid for it, or donate it to the nearest children’s hospital.

    Boxing

    Yeah, he’s a brawler - but he could be a damn good boxer if he didn’t rely solely on his reach and power. Don’t know how the guy in that link criticized Wilder’s power before the match - even if it’s ugly his left hand jab/snap hook has proven to be effective and his straight right is...

    Boxing

    Watching the fight, I was impressed by the way Ortiz moved and his technical approach - definitely a smart boxer and for his size/age in damn good shape. I thought Wilder was going down in the seventh - Wilder said after the fight he was off balance but never hurt. Wilder needs to show more...

    I finished setting up the new desktop with the Dell 27" @ 144hz with GSync - damn, you weren't kidding.

    How about this ? Edit - just realized it’s the same as above but a little lower price. Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Laptop: i5 7300HQ, 15.6", 1050Ti, 256GB SSD $650 + Free S/H

    He’s pretty damn good - my son likes to watch him. He queues solo in squad mode, drops in popular high loot density areas and proceeds to wreck shit.

    Going to duo with an enchanter + ?, maybe a druid for the convenience. Not sure I want to cc, charm and main heal groups.

    I only turn mine on because they don’t have a Motorstorm on the PS4, and sometimes I just need to play it with the volume up.

    It was hard to pass on the prebuilt with GPUs where they are - if the prices ever become reasonable again I’ll probably pass it down to my son and build - otherwise it should last a while.

    So, FedEx tracking shows desktop has delivered but it’s signed for by someone that does not work here. I call Dell, get Dopinder on the line and he says “it’s delivered, signed for by so and so (who doesn’t fucking work here).” I explain that it isn’t here and no one by that name works here...

    I was going to say something about the price of an iPad and then I went and checked the prices on Amazon - did not realize how those prices had dropped. Definitely a good option.

    Monitor arrived today, desktop arrives Monday. I have a 1 TB 850 EVO I’ll wipe and put in it, but it also has the m2 slot - anyone have the Samsung 960 or another m2 SSD they can comment on? Also wondering if I need a new DisplayPort cable. Hard to believe it’s been seven years since I’ve...

    I grabbed the Dell 27” today - the vast majority of the reviews were good, especially for gaming. Having two monitors will be nice anyway.

    I’ll be a batchelor for the better part of the first two weeks including the starting weekend, tempting except for the crappy xp. But yeah, I’ll likely burnout in Kunark.

    Do you have a 144hz with an IPS panel? If so what model?

    Have a system on the way with an i5-8400 and a 1080GTX. Wide variety of games, but I’m upgrading for FPS games first and foremost. I pulled up some reviews and they were mixed, so I’ll probably hold off and do more research. I don’t need an upgrade but if it was a really great deal I’d jump.

    Dell has their 27” S271DG on sale for $399, QHD at 144hz with G-SYNC I have an ASUS 27” QHD with a great pic, but no gsync and not 144hz... feedback?

    I’m upgrading from an M18x R1 with i7 2920xm and dual 780m - I looked at the userbenchmark.com comparisons and was 1) surprised that my old laptop was still able to run current games (albeit not on ultra high), and 2) excited about how much better this desktop will run.

    Yeah I’m probably going to pull the 1 TB EVO out of my laptop and put it in this.

    Thanks - I’d been considering building but this looked like a solid deal, and I have some funds available from an old credit from Dell plus 12 months no interest made it appealing.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I didn’t play in college, much less the NFL, so I’m no expert - but I just don’t get this “if they ain’t top 25, don’t talk to them.” Offers draw positive attention to the player - it’s not like Miami is seeing that Western Michigan offer and saying “ah hell, no chance we get him now.”

    I have a good friend that played OT for Duke in the 90s, he was never an NFL talent but he got that education paid for - funny that he liked basketball more but at 6’6” and 320 he realized football was his ticket.

    Good film for a sophomore playing varsity. I’d look hard at at least one camp this summer at a D1 college - a skills/fundamentals camp where you meet coaches and they see who your son is as well as his potential. Obviously has good size for a sophomore. I’m going to take my son to at least...

    We met my daughter at the Carolina Ale House tonight for dinner, and they had Wicked Weed Pernicious on draft - so I ordered a pitcher just for me. Wife drove home - damn I’m still feeling it, but well worth it.

    Thanks man - holy fuck the rollercoaster! I was still cursing about taking the sack, then planning to have another kid and name him Tua in the same breath. And I just saw our center proposed to his hot girlfriend - damn that’s sweet.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I just hope they go to a bracket of eight soon - that way each conference champ goes, the best of the non P5 goes and there are two spots left for Alabama, so if they lose once in the playoffs that doesn’t automatically eliminate them.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    To be clear, I don’t resent her wanting sex - if she asks for/initiates it she gets it, and it’s not like I’m suffering in the process. I do resent her wanting sex but trying to make it all about doing me a favor or “meeting my needs.”

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I know how it sounds. A cautionary tale of the importance of communication early and often. It’s not that I’m wallowing in misery, just acknowledging the fact that it wasn’t what I expected it would be back then, and no doubt isn’t how she expected it would be now. I think perhaps she...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Heheh well it isn’t lost, but no doubt I don’t go asking for it every day. Whether that’s all libido or (more likely) a combination of lower libido, extra stress, resentment and just plain tired of her BS. I’ve mentioned it before but she’s had some issues related to being raised by a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I’ve already gotten old. When we were younger my wife used to pull the “probably interested in sex, but cleaning the kitchen wears me out.” I’ve always done as much cleaning (both work full-time) as she has, but she can’t stand to let anything sit in the sink for even 30 minutes while we let...

    I don’t get people complaining about them claiming a NC - they have an argument, they won every game they played and it doesn’t take anything from the Georgia/Alabama winner or anyone else - we survived decades of different teams being crowned champs, get over it. If I lived near Orlando I’d go...
