    General Gaming News and Discussion

    The only thing that would get me to buy GTAV would be additional single player content. The multi has always been trash, filled to the brim with the worst people.

    Dying Light 2

    The day 1 patch notes says that it fixes 1,000 bugs. I would hold off on buying this, unless you're a complete moron, based on that alone.

    Playstation 5

    It's worth it to me for the loading times, alone. Things like Kingdom Come are actually playable and I don't pass out in 45 minutes from taking a shot every loading screen.

    That was a stellar deal while it lasted. I just paid about $2k out the door for a Lenovo Legion 7 with a 3070. If you call in and talk to sales they will honor the LEGIONDEALS15 coupon for a total of 25% off list price...

    Job Hunting

    They went from one month of pay severance to two months of pay with me simply asking for it. No conditions on my part. FWIW

    Job Hunting

    Well, I got pushed out from one job today. Acquired back in Q1/Q2 last year. Back in August, there was a merger. Then another company came on board in Oct. I guess they looked at the financials and are giving me the boot. I'm training two people in the Ukraine and one in South America to take...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Sekiro wants me to play a way that I have never played any souls game, or any other game, before. Just to beat a a few bosses sprinkled here and there. I think that’s my main problem. I can’t do that riposte shit consistently to save my life.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    We're talking about the same motherfucker that would whip out a giant bow that clipped into the ground and would shoot tree trunk size arrows at you if you tried to "run around and block" - right? I remember trying this strategy and not doing too hot.

    Nope. At least 2 of my friends were in the same spot. One broke the physical copy of the game in half and threw it away over this fight.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I have beaten every single boss in every single Fromsoft game, with the exception of Sekiro. I got stuck on Genichiro Ashina at the top of Ashina castle. The second time you fight him. It's simply impossible for me to beat this guy. I have reinstalled and tried it again twice, plus the first...

    I have this desk frame, combined with any kind of table top you want. You can do 8 ft no problem. Dual motors, 3 stored heights, (I just use 2) and last I knew, pretty fast shipping. https://www.multitable.com/product/the-mod-e-pro-electric-standing-desk-frame/

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    ARISE! I played this on PS3 back in the day. PS4 when the remaster came out. I just downloaded that remastered version and I'm playing it, again, on the PS5. Such a great game for those who never tried it. Highly recommended. Way ahead of its time in gameplay mechanics.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I have actually seen a few stone piles that you can mine like metals. Near the Holy Mines. I'm not sure yet if the map is randomly generated, as I just started playing yesterday. Perhaps it's new?

    I mean, it's part of the reason I don't really post day to day. And the fact that I still use Vanguard's interface. I don't move that often, or even that quickly when I do.

    Has anyone else ever heard one of those garage door springs snap? It’s hard to explain the sound but you never forget it. I’ll change springs on struts, self compressing those with proper tools but the garage door springs are a huge nope.

    I have a Wolf convection thing that was right around $500. Totally worth it if you cook about that much often. Anova's thing is 15% off right now, $510, but yeah... Expensive. https://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-oven/

    I’m very happy with the Milwaukee 18v line. Getting the chainsaw this week. Have used the weed eater to maintain my property. 12Ah and 8Ah batteries required though. I have the one with optional heads, and use the limb saw and hedger often. Hedger to clear thicker brush, not actual hedges. I...

    Here's my whole house setup. Dual water heaters, recirc, softening, 2x filtering, can be bypassed in two places. I think everything but whole house RO at this point. You can see where the main comes in at the bottom right - real easy access, no wall guessing.

    It's a physical device that hooks up to whatever type of glory hole your phone has. Lightning connector version is what I have. It's not as good as the $10k ones, obviously.

    @Lanx if you have an iOS device I can send you a FLIR to use for awhile. I haven't used it in months and probably don't need it for a few months.

    No that’s only in the shop, which isn’t filtered. When I fill up jugs of water to water some plants in the yard.

    I have a fuckoff huge Culligan system installed that filters everything but isn’t whole house RO. “Softener” is just easier.

    I have a whole house water softener / filtration system, RO in the kitchen (push button to engage at the sink) with the line to the refrigerator coming through the RO system, so ice / drinking water from there is filtered. 5 stage, like @Lanx mentioned. Softener makes a huge difference and it...

    Maybe it’s an Arkansas thing, but I do the same shit as @LachiusTZ Even when I looked at 16 houses in 2 days, I talked to someone in the neighborhood at about half of them. Ruled out 4 houses that way. When I fucked off to the country it was a little harder to meet neighbors prior to...

    They are back online! It was an actual light switch in the same panel which I installed the caseta dimmer. My guess is that these outlets were used for christmas lights, so he could just shut them all off from inside quickly. No GFCI anywhere.

    Alright, I'll put myself out there a little bit. Cribs, rural AR style. This is a 60x40 that the previous owner built. 14' side walls, 18' peak. He ran a business out of it for a decade or more. It's not a perfect setup for how I'll use it, but nothing is ever really perfect. These pictures will...
