    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!

    Desktop Computers

    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...

    Desktop Computers

    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...

    Hunting Thread

    My 870 has a Knoxx recoil reducing stock and it sure makes it a lot nicer to shoot. Just looks a bit goofy.

    The Mandalorian

    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...

    MTG: Arena

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

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    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...

    Knives Out (2019)

    That’s pretty much my feelings on it.

    Knives Out (2019)

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

    Knives Out (2019)

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

    Knives Out (2019)

    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...

    Knives Out (2019)

    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...

    MTG: Arena

    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.

    MTG: Arena

    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...

    Doctor Sleep (2019)

    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.

    MTG: Arena

    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...

    Jojo Rabbit (2019)

    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...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    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.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don’t really remember any women my own age doing this when I was younger either. Sleeping in the same bed occasionally, sure. Cuddling I wasn’t aware of. Also they go and take a piss with each other constantly. I mean in one toilet bathrooms. While tipsy or drunk she’s asked me to hang...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That situation has played out numerous times, most recently Saturday night. It’s never went anywhere, ha. My girlfriend’s house is two bedrooms, we slept together, friend stayed in the spare. The girlfriend has also been somewhat catty / territorial around me and her girlfriends if they...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Oh I’m sure. I’m not worried about it in the least though. What happens happens. We’ve been dating for (9?) months now but I’m actually pretty happy about her doing this as I’m hoping it’ll make her more independent and mature. Not that she isn’t reasonably mature, she’s no deadbeat by any...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    True story: this friend and her had a threesome in college they both told me about this weekend. Well, her friend did, after a few drinks. She was not happy her friend blurted it out and immediately looked at me all sad and asked if I was mad at her. I was like, er, no, that’s totally fine...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I’m still dating the (now 24 year old) woman from February or March I posted about. Hard to believe it’s been this long. She finally passed the NCLEX months back and is now an RN. Problem being, she insists upon only being a labor and delivery nurse, and in the Bay Area those are basically...

    Gotta be honest I really hate this meta. I’m just going to stop playing for a while. I find everything about everything just obnoxious anymore to the point where I just get pissed off even playing.

    Disco Elysium

    I definitely want to try this, will probably buy it over the weekend. Had never heard of it until I clicked on this thread but looks awesome. I don’t think I’ve bought a game in the better part of a year.

    MTG: Arena

    My coworker who got me playing Arena has been playing since the 90s and said he hates them. I can see how they sorta ruin the "pure" nature of the game.

    Witcher 3

    I’ve started this game like six times and I feel like I’ve finished that demon baby quest every time then never finished much past that. It’s weird because I really like the game I just always stop playing it. Gotta buckle down some day and actually go through it.

    I’ve had two people unmoored ego me recently on early turns looking for field of the dead and golos when I wasn’t playing either. So that was amusing.

    It sounds like you’re talking about Circuitous Route, that’s how it should work. edit: ohhh, I see what you’re saying. That doesn’t sound right actually.

    Yah, I was kinda being broad and lumping in control with the ramp, as I have seen some crossover.
