    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Intel was the biggest hand out in the grand scheme of that. The fab they got out of that deal isnt top of the line, but getting a fab in general out of it is pretty big statement going forward "If shit hits the fan with Taiwan, we expect you to pick up the slack Intel." Im surprised they arent...

    That Rog Strix 4090 is 2k there, but never seems to be in stock. Its all the way in fairfax va or w/e and Im in the same boat with that, 4-5 hours away. Means I have to buy other shit there if Im going to make another PC just for the drive to be worth it. Very nice parts though, wish you all...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I have never looked into the pfsense or openwrt of anything, I just know throwing money at the Asus routers works out for me each time I upgrade. However, I would rather drag my balls through glass shards than buy a used wireless router.

    You're correct. I didnt think that through. Would be awful if they had to recreate the zone from scratch and waste all that time, right?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    What this really looks like is a budget version of Vanguard - you know, an MMO that was already a budget MMO? lul Empty buildings with dead face NPC's staring off into the distance - waiting for the PC's to interact with them just to give them a spell or skill. No basic furniture like tables...

    I had to post this just because it is hilariously degenerate. It came across my feed and I was just cracking up watching it. I dug into the highlighted streamers videos a bit and he picked up a sub from me and I dont even play Classic anymore. The very first video when you pull up his...

    "This is the way" - if you include all the costs of the lawn equipment, its maintenance, and fuel - THEN - include the time it takes (which should be somewhere around 14 times a year, with 7 of those including fertilizing and possibly aerating (using Virginia as a reference) it just makes...

    Was back in the mid 90's I was staying with my real dad for the summer while he was training jumping horses.

    Wait, my moms Gateway had that little key thing. What was that for?... (I could just google it I guess. But maybe someone else is/was curious, too!) I will probably replace my office PC with something like that. But for w/e reason, the GTX 970 in my office PC is still pushing through 99% of...

    I admit Ive never cared to spend much money on a mattress. Ive been pretty basic about it since I was literally sleeping on the ground for a time during my enlistment.

    You guys still use hammers? I kid, I kid. But no seriously, I love my nail guns. Best tool purchase Ive ever made, and I dont mind at all that some jogger stole them and I bought them from the pawn shop for a pittance.

    To this day, I dont know how the people that have played WoW or similar games have played them, nonstop, since their release. To know that their accounts never lapse because they are so enamored with WoW that they cant go a day without it. Like look the fuck around - at the very least there...

    Just depends on the bread. The crust on some bread is just gross. But there is an "old fashioned" bakery here in town that we buy our bread from and the crust is fucking delicious. The inner bread tastes like Hawaiian Rolls and the crust is thin and has a similar taste to the crust of pound...

    I was able to flip out of my 3090 to 4090 at a low rent cost. I didnt think that would have happened, but it worked out just mildly more expensive than the last cycles transition cost. Is DP 2.x the architecture for the 50x0 series? or just something they'll call a "ti" version?

    A Q&A team will still need to run through everything an AI modifies or creates. Which, imo, will ultimately be the job title that programmers will have as time passes.

    ACKSHUALLY - the used car market isnt looking to go back to pre COVID supply/demand anytime soon. Nor do dealers want it too. But the big heads at car companies are trying to play it safe with leases, so theyre keeping their residual estimates on a lease at generally the same spot. So you can...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    The idea is just kind of retarded in my opinion. Looking for universal mysteries where there are none. There are just fucked up individuals in the world, and since beef comes from cattle - there are a whole 'nother level of people that give even less fucks about a cow. Back in the late 80's...

    Old MMO's just make me become apathetic towards logging in as soon as I have to put any effort into social obligations like dealing with a clique, or setting aside a raid time and then that raid be a no nonsense, must be quiet when the raid leader speaks, serious talk only.

    Arent there semi popular indie dev MMO games like that? Albion Online? Crowfall? One of those. I mean, the theory is neat. Sort of like an MMO based Roguelike game. Each season, you collect inherent bonuses that arent "life changing" but enough that if you were a lvl 1 fighting rats in...

    This is actually one area I could see MMO's hugely benefit from. If you have AI controlled NPC's that act like real people - then the game would be immensely more real. The immersion of a living, breathing world would be something inspirational and at the same time, creepingly scary because of...
