    Battlefield V

    Fair enough, but the guy who was 130-0 on my team was sniping from a bunker on the new map. I was watching him, he got that high in less than 15 minutes.

    Battlefield V

    So, I just started playing this a few weeks ago. As of the past week or so, I'd say 50-60 percent of games I join have someone using an aimbot or whatever cheat. I've seen people 130-0, 90-1, 75-2, etc etc. Whether they're on your team or the other team it kinda ruins things. And from what...

    Knives Out (2019)

    I watched this with someone in medicine and they immediately complained about how inaccurate this was, ha.

    The Gentlemen (2020)

    Just saw this, loved it. Best movie Guy has done in a long time. Enjoyable all the way through.

    Kobe Bryant killed in helicopter accident, 41

    It is awful news and I hate to see it. But this made me chuckle.

    MTG: Arena

    I think that is the case indeed. Lower ranks have more annoying stuff, then they don’t work out as well against real meta decks.

    MTG: Arena

    I saw this deck and had almost everything for it, it's easy to get going and gets powerful quickly and keeps cards coming in super fast. https://aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/211717

    MTG: Arena

    Yeah, whenever you read any post from me about MTGA keep in mind I play unranked best of one with the other noobs. So my experience is undoubtedly skewed from yours. I should play more ranked. I played probably 15-20 games yesterday and no shit probably 12-13 were simic ramp.

    MTG: Arena

    The mythic that lets you replay a creature every round from the battlefield (blue, not by my computer right now,) is pretty badass. I had a loop of agent of treachery and in another game Omnath going. Simic is gonna be really annoying. Edit: Yep, it's bullshit. I'm already just about over...

    She was fine. Everything else was ehhh. It’s amazing how much they went off the rails in the third episode.

    Got it in and set up. Now to download a bunch of stuff / updates drivers / etc. Gotta say that 34" screen is a lot to take in when you're maximized on Chrome. Will probably learn to stop habitually maximizing things.

    I appreciate it, I don’t have time for yet another lawsuit.

    Yeah, I wasn’t too hopeful that was actually going to make it through, but it was wishful thinking.

    Ha, Dell just called about my price guarantee. They’re giving me the $250, which is the correct number. Darn, Ajay couldn’t get me the $600 after all, but that’s okay.

    I looked around at a couple of local consignment shops looking for a solid wood old desk, but unfortunately couldn’t find any. I’d seen some really nice ones there in the past but didn’t jump on them. Was hoping to get something like that (I generally try to avoid cheap stuff.) Also I may move...

    Desktop Computers

    Ha, I looked at those too. That whole setup would have been like $350 though. At that point I could probably just start looking at real desks.

    Yah, I saw some people suggest this also.

    Hmm, good to know. If you shake it, it definitely wobbles, but I’m sitting here and sort of “emulating normal use” and it seems stable enough. I see what you’re saying though, if I start moving the mouse around rapidly you can feel it shake a bit. This place is a rental and I have a $5000...

    All ready to go, minus the computer. It’s supposed to arrive today. Dell doesn’t allow you to choose a pickup at a store, so had to take the day off to receive it. Pain in the butt. I’m pretty happy with this desk, it was only $100 from IKEA. Put a few coats of boiled linseed oil on it.

    Good to know. I did read you could haggle with Dell, which I should have. At least I've got this going for me, even if I "only" get the $300 if they catch the $600 mistake.

    Desktop Computers

    Yah, I've already thought of that, and a good chance no doubt. We'll see if it actually comes through. They created a ticket for it.

    HOLY SHIT. So get this...as I stated a few pages back I spent $1700 on this new computer I'm getting. Dell dropped their prices this week, I saw this same configuration come out to $1484. So no worries, Dell does a 30 day price guarantee. I call them and say "Hey, this is a lot cheaper this...

    Yeah, we’re not supposed to move anything when we switch offices or cubicles. We have another internal organization that does that and it’s a union thing also.

    At my work... We get dual 22” (maybe even 20”) monitors. A lot of us asked for bigger screens but we were told it wasn’t justified for our group by our own management. So, we asked our IT group if we could buy bigger monitors out of our own pocket. They told us no because they’re not...

    Agreed with all this.

    Dracula

    Take a guess who the plucky nun is. I didn’t even have a problem with that, she was fine, it’s just the combination of everything. The dude who plays Dracula isn’t bad.

    Dracula

    I was intrigued by the idea of this show but unfortunately (and not surprisingly) they had to SJW it up. Lucy Westenra is black, her suitors are hipsters, in 1800s Britain there was some black wealthy guy ordering white people around, an Indian doctor on the Demeter, Van Helsing is a woman...

    Witcher 3

    I’m not a big fan of the combat either but I love the story and quests. I know it’s lame, but I circumvented it by just cheating my character and maxing out skills and stats. It’s actually somewhat challenging sometimes even with that because I suck and don’t learn how to play it correctly...

    I actually thought about doing a budget build myself as I don’t care about bleeding edge (or even close) at all. Then $3000 later that went out the door. I figured for once in my 30+ years of gaming it’d be fun to be at least in the top 20 percent and actually be able to use some of those cool...

    This is the one I got: This LG is supposed to be its competitor: These are (from what I gather) two of the best at 34" ultrawide for gaming.

    You should check out the one I got. It's 34" with freesync / gsync and it's 144hz.

    True. I don't feel bad at all about the purchase. I don't think it's that far off from anything else value wise.

    I look forward to trying it as I’ve never played a game on a monitor worth a shit before!

    Bearing in mind I haven't built a computer in like 8-10 years... I read about the memory thing. Realistically how much difference can 3200 vs 2933 make. It can't be much real world. The 3200 was an option. I don't know enough or care enough to be bleeding edge or whatever. I'm fairly sure...

    I used the part picker site, yeah, but from what I saw it was coming out to 1700-1800. Lemme see again. 😜 It could well be I’m a total retard, I’m not counting that out, but what I paid for it seemed to jive with what the calculator said. *obviously I’m no expert on this stuff to say the...

    I haven’t had a desktop computer in a few years due to moving across the country. I just finally decided I wanted to get back to having a real computer again instead of using my laptop. In the past I was all about building my own because it was fun and the value was there, but it seems like if...

    My 870 has a Knoxx recoil reducing stock and it sure makes it a lot nicer to shoot. Just looks a bit goofy.

    Okay, so: I’m not much of a Star Wars fan despite being there for all of it and being age appropriate. I’ve seen the classic movies a couple of times but only a couple of the new ones (from 2000 to present.). Needless to say I’m not a mega fan, I don’t know the storylines or have an intricate...
