    Have you bought from this site? That's a ridiculous deal, even before the 30% off. I looked around and the opinions of whether or not the site is legit is literally all over the place. Your own site, guru3d, someone said it is owned by China but just uses cheap keys bought internationally. I...

    Anyone ever buy their Windows license from PC World? Saw something the other day about it, and now that I'm hopefully going to have all the pieces tonight I'll need it, and this is way fucking cheaper. Sure I can go the Reddit route and buy from someone that has an enterprise license or such...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    I've said it here before, but on my TV I have a Shield, and I sideloaded SmartTube, which is constantly updating as necessary to combat YT fuckery, and is awesome. No ads, even has notifications when they do the whole "like and subscribe" or even in-video ads (like say NordVPN) where you can...

    The rest of my items are supposed to show up today (I have everything delivered to work for convenience, and incentive to come into work!) and just half an hour ago I got an email saying that the power supply wouldn't be here for weeks. So I had to order the 1000W version with free same day...

    I probably would have done something like that for the weekend, except the power supply and the processor didn't show up either, so yeah. I made a boot stick with windows 10 on it to see if I can repair the existing computer in the meantime, since I can't do shit with the new one over the weekend.

    Someone on reddit recommended this message board

    I feel like it was Wolf, but that might be me superimposing Wolfen's name onto him for being such a thin-skinned pussy.

    Good thing I ordered all that computer shit the other day. My computer really took a giant shit last night. At first it was only a blue screen every once in awhile, but last night it quickly turned into a reboot loop. I eventually could get it to boot into safe mode multiple times and did...

    What did you just read?

    Glad to hear you are liking Swan Song. To be fair, it is kind of just a variation on King's The Stand, but with better writing (in most parts, King was still the king of character back then) and more likable characters. It came out after The Stand so it suffered a LOT of comparison, and...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    The good Dr. already mentioned one of his best, Slither. Hugely underrated movie. Aside from that I'm drawing a blank on anything that isn't Firefly or a long running series.

    You haven't watched a lot of Fillion's acting if you think he's more suited to a stoic role. He's literally the definition of sarcasm and snark.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    In my defense, I credited you in the Desktop Computers thread where I first posted it! I blatantly took most of your build because it was pretty in-line with what I wanted, and like you I felt it was worth a couple hundred bucks more to make sure I would be good for maybe another 10 years...

    Thanks! I will take a look at it tonight, about to leave work and can shop to my heart's content. EDIT: Oh, and my 6 year old computer has 32GB, I gotta upgrade! For real though, I don't mind another hundred bucks to double it.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Let's not forget the "heat map" or whatever it was that they showed inside that ball, as if it were some mysterious phenomenon. I mean, there are fucking welds right there I assume, meaning the thermal properties are going to be totally different along the seam. Why don't they show us...

    Novocaine (2025)

    It was ok. I didn't turn it off and wander away halfway through like I tend to do these days. I hate Quaid's son, but I tolerated him. Decently entertaining. However, I miss Weinstein. As many memes have said recently, he was our barrier that kept mediocre bitches from starring in movies...

    Shamelessly stolen from Noodle's list, and some of the recent comments, here is my list. Note that I've already bought the GPU for $200 less. And as Kirun just commented about the processor, I'm fine with paying a little more for a higher end processor too. Anyone see anything wrong or...

    I missed that one somehow. But Southern California is still so far away from me that it might as well be another state. I forgot to look into Starforge stuff, because I heard good things. And I'll admit, my cable management might as well be nonexistent; but I'm the only one that really sees...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Is that really going to be cheaper than building it myself? I've built many computers over the years so not worried about that. Typically it was always cheaper, but I haven't looked into it lately. Not doubting you, but if I can even save a couple hundred bucks it is worth it to me. Hmm, and...

    I have a 2080. I'm looking to get a new PC this month, hopefully. This seems like a pretty good deal. Is there anything I'm missing or a comparable model I should consider instead?

    What tickles your pickle

    I choose to pay and go see those people and hope they are funny; they don't make me laugh and then ask for money. I would prefer not to see homeless people ever again, even if one did make me laugh once.

    What tickles your pickle

    Almost gave a homeless guy money today at lunch. His sign said, "Spread some cheddar on this cracker." It made me laugh, so I considered it, but then I remembered that 99.44% of all homeless are druggies and/or alcoholics, so I kept my hard-earned money for myself.

    Michael (2025)

    I'm not gonna lie, I'd probably watch this on Prime or something. I think MJ got a bad rap with all the pedo stuff; I legitimately think he totally missed out on his childhood (he was what, 6 when he started fronting the Jackson 5??) and just wanted to experience some of that finally. Despite...

    @Tuco you should probably check out the first Unbound book next-ish. I know how much you love certain elements of these stories, and this has a decent amount of it, but with a slightly more engaging main character. Yes, he quickly becomes ridiculously OP, but don't they all? I like some of...

    I'm currently rereading the Conan books I read as a kid. Not just the Robert E. Howard originals, but the Ace/Lancer series I knew as a kid, with L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter adding to them. You can't get them digitally anywhere it seems, aside from pirating badly OCR'd versions, but I...

    I'm not going to say it is amazing, but I've kept reading to whatever book they are currently on (like 12 or so). I've grown more and more bored as it progressed, and rated them worse and worse, but it isn't horrible for many books. However, that intro stuff is really just something the author...

    You should let your good memories stay where they are and not read any more of that series. The first two were good, with the first one being actually awesome. I am fuzzy on the details here so I could be getting specifics wrong, but book 3 has a lot of the various female povs, including the...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    So let me get this straight. An extinction level event is coming, he knows about it, and is talking about it on fucking X, just without specifics, and is complaining that it is being covered up. If this were even remotely true, the only possible action he can take is to release the...

    7 Days to Die

    Yeah, I'm contemplating that aspect right now before I saw your comment. I guess I was trying to kind of treat it like a cooler Minecraft, where there really isn't a ton of actual point to the game beyond gearing up and building a base, but at least this has skill and tech improvements to...

    7 Days to Die

    I started a new game, reduced zombie block damage, turned off hordes, generated a random map so I don't know where anything is. Way more fun this way so far, but perhaps it is the new start/exploration thing that is enthralling me. The first trader ended up being right next to a small...
