    I’m about to throw my Lenovo X1 Carbon out the window and just get a MacBook.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I may take a gamble and try that Leap v2 in a couple of months. Wish they would reintroduce the headrest as a better / more useable option. Current chair I've been using for a couple years has one and I have gotten use to laying back. Haven't really done much research on their channel other than...

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13650814/ Was pretty bad. Not even going to argue with the 5.4 IMDB. Samara Weaving was the best part. Second best part was the soundtrack and really the odd "duet" scene between her and Alba Baptista. The rest just was extremely meh. The dark comedy genre or...

    I need to replace my office chair, was looking at that one or I think it was a version of a Logitech x Herman Miller? I’d have to go find the Reddit threads again, this was a few months back. Problem is that I can’t remember if this current one was a gift from my wife, or if that one is at my...

    Graphical issue. With three digits of +income% it breaks the divider between popup sections.

    I wanted to do this in my office also but the clearance between the top of the window and the ceiling is too narrow to mount the unit and I have floor to almost ceiling bookcases on either side of the window. Like no place to mount the dang thing.

    I never finished reading them myself either. They weren't terrible I just sort of dropped it I think.

    I've been doing some reading and spending too much time seeing how to approach the home build. So here are more stream of thought notes to try and organize my thoughts... I'm using "mortgage" interchangeably with total escrow payment It seems like there is a benefit (currently) to going through...

    wave 700 lol. I got to 1,000 before rebirthing the 1st time and then 700 and decided to do the 4x rebirth

    Dang didn’t realize bestiary unlocks were there. Does it carry over to rebirth? I rebirthed at like 700 before refreshing 😀

    I'm also just kind of saving up for each tier of unlock as it makes sense now and sort of ignoring arena income. Unlock Witch Doctor, wait a bit, unlock Gold Per Dagger, wait a bit, etc... There's a big jump between Master Wizard and Necro (I think?) where I'll probably have to go back and...

    I'm looking forward to documenting my pain and suffering here for everyone to revel in, when the time is appropriate :) We got another list of available parcels in the new area from builder this morning. We drove through more Saturday and the old saying is ringing more and more true. Location...

    Have not only purchase / sold my own house or whatever a few times, but yes I have factored in contingency. That’s where paying for the lot would come in and dip into what our current liquid assets would be. Not looking at my spreadsheet / napkin math right now, but basically depending on all...

    Mark Lawrence is doing a thing where he’s putting 4 authors vs ChatGPT 5. He did it a couple years ago with GPT4, but guess I missed it: https://mark---lawrence.blogspot.com/2025/08/so-is-ai-writing-any-good-part-2.html The actual stories are here a little ways down the page after some...

    I’m betting we end up closer to $220. Everything we’ve looked at, new or old, seems to be between $180 - $228, just scrolling back through our Zillow list. So I was kind of taking a dart throw in between. It will really help having a floor plan nailed down. If it ends up being $220 it is still...

    Home buying thread

    We spent today driving around looking at lots in a new area about 15 miles further west out of town from where we are now. Have been talking to a couple of builders also and are leaning more toward this route. The last few weeks of open houses have just been sad and uninspiring. This would also...

    Small Press / Fine Press Editions

    Super early announcement from Conversation Tree Press as this isn't scheduled to be released until 2027. Don't believe a pre-order date has been set yet either. I am not familiar with this title at all, but seems to have a good history. May be of interest to someone here. I'll probably bump...

    I thought there was some noise about Antony Starr from The Boys playing Wesker. Was that just fanfic? I never clicked on anything or looked into it.

    I’m interested to see if I like it in person. If not two people have already asked if I’m willing to sell, so it seems low’ish risk.

    The second one looks good. Adds a little bit of character that the original rounded rectangles don’t have.

    Have you seen some of the stuff we've shelled out $5 for around here? hah. If I had seen it on Steam there's a high likelyhood that a low entry cost would have had me d/l it just to try. But that's easy for me to say from a consumer standpoint and doesn't take into account any of your time and...

    Alien: Earth

    The slow backwards move across the window in the first episode was like seeing a troll meme in action. It was hilariously cheesy and a little too on the nose.

    Alien: Earth

    The first episode was great. Just the first 15 minutes or whatever on the Maginot were enough to get me drawn in to everything. It has a certain amount of "noah hawley"-ness to it, but it isn't like you're rewatching Legion or being beaten over the head. Just solid so far. I honestly didn't...

    There have been a few setbacks on the Kickstarter project but they provided an update, looks like they'll be shipped mid-November if things hold up. Feels like a huge gap between the last three and this three. Hope they have everything ironed out for future releases. I'd still really like to...

    I like the concept and what you put together, it'd be cool to see a new iteration or whatever else you had/have in mind. These little idle shit games are crack for me b/c I don't have to pay attention. Hell, I've had The Tower idle game running in Bluestacks for a year and a half b/c really all...

    Not sure, I’ve been pretty afk most of the day and not doing much / progressing since that last post. Still running and I RDP’d in to check my money, bought Master Wizard and went back to hanging out with friends at dinner. oh, here’s the answer on the comment thread below:

    I'm at 26.2% afer 7H and 21M. So I'm not sure what moves the metric or if it is purely time based. With the icon of the one enemy I had originally assumed it was an incentive for killing or getting past a certain point, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Just went afk for an hour or so to...

    Tried to get Grok to reverse engineer me a save script with infinite resources but it kept failing import lol. It parsed it just fine and pulled out all the relevant stats. I didn't give it any restrictions or suggestions for what to set levels to so it may have picked stuff out of bounds.

    Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

    Yeah, finished it this morning and while I don't completely retract my previous comment, the last 30 minutes or so of the movie get pretty bad. Once the kids are fully a part of every scene and the whole giant dome head dino comes into play. Maybe they just needed to trim like 20-30 minutes off...

    Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

    Checked it out tonight while working and I mean, it isn't the worst? Felt like it was better than the last one or two. Definitely wasn't bashful about getting the actors / supporting actors eaten. My expectations were like SciFi channel low so maybe that explains the lack of total and utter...
