    Computer Issues

    Got a used 1080 Ti, and put it in. Replaced a 970. Computer booted just fine. NVidia drivers needed updated anyway so I did a clean install. Everything was working great. Witcher 3 and Anthem both looked great and super fps. Was loving it! Then in the middle of Anthem there's a noise from my...

    So what's the sweet spot for 4k? Is it better to run everything on Ultra, at 1440p, or run everything on like Medium-High but at 4k? I'd imagine most wouldn't want to play at 4k Ultra, which from 1080 Ti benchmarks it seems most games will do about 20-30 FPS with that?

    I have a bunch of buddies that are all moving to Brynhildr. Lol Original toons are on Gilgamesh , as that is where FoH was. Then more recently I started a new toon on Midgardsomr to be with some friends who started and it's a preferred server. Then a couple weeks ago other friends started and...

    Yea, mine is, and Dom's was the same monitor, and a TN panel. While noticeable in a testing environment I don't notice it while playing games. Good thing I guess I can unsee stuff? haha The Dell monitor he linked is a great screen, and most people love it, but I think it's a TN panel as well...

    If going 32gb RAM was just a few bucks, then why not, right? But last I saw prices, it was still pretty expensive between 16gb and 32gb RAM. So for just games, you are going to be totally fine with just 16gb. Take into account what @Dom said about hard drives as well. For me, 500gb is enough...

    Why the 2 different types of SSD's? Drop the 1 TB SSD, increase the faster, better m.2 NVME SSD to 500gb, and then get a platter drive with a few terabytes for a storage drive? That makes sense for me, but you do you. You can wait, and save a ton on the video card, just like Vorph pointed out...

    Naw, he's filling them in with dirt and pebble rock or whatever. Doing it proper! I asked how they are going to prevent sinkage on the holes and he said the rock helps and he's compacting it down a lot I guess.

    The Division 2

    I don't have a crew either. Was really looking forward to getting back into EQ Progression servers with @Regime and others to get that "crew" feeling and guild chat back again. Just isn't the right time for me. I just upgraded from a GTX 970 to 1080 Ti, so it's PC for me, no questions. I hope...

    Work started Monday on my under house Lake. Guy left a sump pump under there to keep it mostly dry for the last couple weeks before work started. It looks like there will be 4 large holes around my house, as there's no easy way to run all the gutters to a single big drain hole. I kinda don't...

    I'm not high enough level, but how do contracts work? Can lowbies get GM1 contracts that all the high levels wanna do? Create a system like D3's old Rift it Forward, or WoW's more recent mythic + keys if you had a Maw key. The lowbie provides the contract (key), and the higher levels clear it...

    Best phone games?

    Just got Kingdom Rush, and it's not bad. I kinda like how they pick where you can put towers so you just have to figure out the puzzle of what towers to put where. Which one is the best Kingdom Rush?

    OVERKILL's The Walking Dead

    It wasn't terrible I didn't think, but I didn't go back to it either, so RIP! I liked that it had a lot to do outside of just killing zombies. That was what you did most but it all had more purpose. I guess it had those RPG elements to it that were pretty cool.

    This server stuff is whacky, but at least you only have to transfer like 1 dude, because you have all your jobs on that one Main? That's cool at least.

    Lol! Place is a shit hole, that's why. The good months, like spring to fall, where the weather is great, the place is jam packed full of tourists. The other months, tons of shit closes "For the Season" and the weather is cold and rainy.

    So have you found anything worth playing? Are you giving Div 2 another try this weekend?

    Oh trust me, I haven't used Grubhub since! :) With 3 kids, when it was available to us at home, we would order up a feast after the kids had gone to bed and have a nice dinner in while watching a movie. Made for a nice "stay-cation" date night type of thing.
