Could have been one of two things or a combination, or none of them, but I noticed that even with vsync off and gsync on my FPS was spiking to 130-180 and the monitor is only an 120Hz refresh, I was getting momentary blackouts and other oddity. So I capped the FPS in game to 120. Second thing...

Somehow while playing this my display is locked to 24Hz refresh? I have no idea what's going on but never seen that happen before.... *edit: Eh, driver update fixed it, reboot probably would have also. Just the 1st time that's ever happened. Maybe the DP cable is going kaput.

Yeah, I use the 3M one with the quick release. It actually isn't that uncomfortable for the short periods I have it on.

Going to take a time out from moving and post how awesome the Best Buy appliance delivery people were. Obviously it varies heavily but I’ve never had a delivery service that high quality. Originally we had scheduled our delivery on Tuesday bc they don’t do Sunday and Monday and we weren’t...

rofl I didn’t even notice that. It says “Hooked on Quak.” Previous owner was big in to duck hunting. He had the space with all his hunting and 4x4 and shop stuff. Hopefully I can do it justice bc he left behind some good stuff fitted out.

Moving in to our new house, finally able to get in to the 3rd garage / workshop. Everything there was left behind so I’m pretty excited.

Yeah, I liked the question but had no guarantees that the answer would be good or useable. Guess I was more thinking from a coordinated effort from all those entities that have invested in the mining operations deciding which coin could conceivably be "pumped" next. That assumes a lot of behind...

I like that question though… do they dump the investment in POW set ups or find something else to mine and what would that something be?

A decent Metroidvania. I think some of the earlier previews made reference to Souls and Bloodborne, but there really aren't any Souls mechanics here. It is pretty straightforward Metroid in a fallen kingdom type setting. You can gain xp from killing enemies but you don't accrue points to spend...

Dammit, was really looking forward to something new to pick up.

Not sure if I want to go the Steam route or the Game Pass route for the eventual Xbox purchase...

Yeah just go ahead and cut that line of thinking right out and save yourself the anxiety. Congrats. We're still planning on moving Sunday. Was hoping to get in early but doesn't look like that'll happen.

Might pick one of those up for the new home office and the new house. There's 1,000 different versions so maybe just picking the middle of the pack is the way to go.

Yeah, my TRU pool was doing nicely as well. Only downside is that haven't / wasn't able to start up a larger one because of the holding period of moving out of Coinbase / Binance.us. Haven't paid attention to anything the past week b/c of work, so nice to come back and suddenly be closer to...

Is that a remake of TWEWY? Swear I played that on 3DS or something a decade ago. *edit: Ah sequel.. well, not like I remember anything about the first one at this point.

Looked at some of the UW today at Best Buy and not sure I can make that work with the multiple excel and rdp windows. Feels like I need those on independent monitors and not tiles windows in a larger ultra wide. But I’ve never actually done it so who knows.

I pretty much stick with RTINGS when it comes to looking for stuff like this. Are you going to see a difference between that one and the one they recommend...

Tax free weekend is coming up and includes Monitors now. Might give this one a look if there are any local at my BB. Otherwise may see what UWs they have.

Stepping back in to the “General Purpose” side of the thread, what are the go to for a work monitor or monitor(s)? Last year we were able to take our office stuff home but I never set it up and now I’m moving in to a house where I can have a dedicated office. Was thinking about going with UW as...

False alarm, renewed! https://deadline.com/2021/07/amazon-renews-clarkson-farm-jeremy-clarkson-season-2-1234797205/

Thankfully back down to $66 here at Lowe's, although I don't really like their 3/4" Birch ply. It was up to over $80 shortly b/c right after I moved out of my house had a small flood in the garage and had to have insurance replace 3 sheets. Been without a shop or house though now for almost 3...

Wasn't it /r/windowsswap or microsoftswap .... /keyswap? Seems like most people here talked about that and having 100% success without much risk.

Unpopular opinion time, but…. Playing through Zero Mission, AM2R, and Super Metroid back-to-back, Super Metroid kind of sucks. I’m sure 90% of that has to do with QoL things in the older version’s more modern remakes, but there are other things that stand out as well. Back on SNES it was the...

I’ve got a few books on backlog now that I’m reading more again. Hell, haven’t even finished Kharkanas 2nd book. Maybe this one will breathe some life in to the world again.

Aw man transaction failed for my $50?! I’ll never be a Trillionaire!!

As recent as 5 years ago I had to put orders in at Motorola through an AS400 and OS/2 Warp System. Full multimillion dollar equipment and system orders. I’d have to break orders for radios in to 5-6 lists of 500-1,000 each, do all the excel conversions, it took hours. All because our inventory...

I thought that too. Either bc it just didn’t work as well as it should have and/or Valve just moved on to another pet project and stopped caring.

Uncool? No but some people probably have different opinions. The main thing may have to do with dados not being legal in places and not all table saws set up to support them / certain sizes. So there are varying opinions on how to do it vs. people’s comfort level vs. access to the equipment...

We've watched it probably 3-4 times as background noise, and the 3 year old loves seeing the farm equipment. May's cooking show is decently funny as well. Didn't care for Hammond's show. Maybe the actual show was good but I turned it off during the intro I was so annoyed. And canceled...

The Last Drive-In is worth the price of Shudder alone, not mention all the other exclusives and content they have. It is a pretty good deal and easy to jump in / jump out once you've gone through what you were interested in or discovered things off the path.

Does <PIG> do the soundtrack, though?

+300% in last 24hr don’t seem that bad.

I just finished Gideon based on the recommendations here and my feelings are mixed. For one it took me an absurdly long time to get in to the novel. I'll assume part of the blame for that, maybe I'm just an idiot, but there was something about the writing that just wouldn't latch. The cadence or...

I need to watch some of that guy’s channel maybe. This was something I was thinking about last weekend bc my computer was churning and I noticed that Brave was taking up 98% of my RAM. Normal amount of tabs open (so you know like 280, not counting porn). One page was eating up 8 gig of RAM. The...

Looks like you’ve got about $23,000 in wood right there. I’d hold on to it. Also keep that pipe to make you some pipe clamps down the road.

Everything is double confirmed for my close on Monday but still no word at all about the sellers finding a place to rent. They have three weeks so still some time. Am thinking that as that window draws down they’ll get desperate and won’t be surprised if they start asking us about leaving behind...

But is she hot?

It detracts from the ability to deduce subtlety when your mind immediately starts looking for the gross/sex angle. Oh well!
