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.

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...

Don't worry, it gets worse.

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.

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.

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...

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...

In the relatively short time I’ve played this game this is by far the least fun it’s been.

About to fly back from Thanksgiving vacation a few days ago, I decided I wanted a pair of wireless headphones as I didn’t own any. Said fuck it and went to Target and bought some Bose QuietComfort 35 II that were on sale for $279. Man, noise cancelling on these is awesome. Sound is really...

That’s pretty much my feelings on it.

Jamie Lee Curtis in this movie looks like a character with no chin from a MadTV skit.

I still didn’t find the SJW element as heavy handed as some movies I’ve hated as a result of it.

There was really no SJW anything of substance in this movie at all. If there were I wouldn’t have liked it either. If you’re offended because of the light immigrant / illegal plot line that’s a silly one but I get it. Even with the “Nazi kid” it was more funny than it was admonishing. But...

I don’t have anything against (or really know anything about) Rian Johnson as I don’t give a shit about Star Wars in any capacity, and if he’s controversial for any other reasons I’m kinda out of the loop on most things pop culture... With that in mind, I thought this was a smart, fun, well...

I sometimes create janky exile decks with Ashiok, carnarium, leyline of the void, etc, just to try and get games with cats or Golgari graveyard decks and the like. It’s always super satisfying to play against a Golgari deck who has managed to get a bunch of shit in the graveyard to resurrect...

I played up to platinum months back, but haven't in a while. Yeah, I should again now that Oko is gone.

I see it constantly. I play unranked though, which is probably why.

I'm really sick of the seeing the stupidassed Chandra flyer + scorch splitter + cavalcade of calamity combo. Real genius you can consistently get a flyer up to like +17 damage on turn 3-4. I'm not saying it can't be beat and it's obviously not even at the top of the meta but it fucking irks...

I saw this movie last night. I liked it, but it would have been better if Danny was black and Scatman Crothers was a white guy. And would it have killed them to have queer people of color playing the steam vampires, who truly understand the struggle of an itinerant life?

This is like saying “I want you to kill yourself,” in deck form.

This meta should hopefully be a bit more fun now. Though honestly, I’ve only been playing janky stuff lately in non-ranked, and surprisingly I wasn’t seeing a ton of Oko. So this might encourage me to play ranked again. My jank of choice lately has been a Doom Foretold / cheap card draw...

Gotta be honest, I’m totally tired of movies revolving around Jews and the holocaust made by Hollywood, which I can only assume will still be made 500 years from now if we’re still alive. Yeah, we get it, the Holocaust was a thing, enough. That said, this movie is super well done. It just...

Some people in my office habitually talk on the phone while in bathroom stalls and they’re almost all Indian. I make a point of trying to be loud if they do it next to me.
