    Updated with PSU and RAM specs. 16GB but a couple more 8GB sticks are easy upgrade in a few years. About HD - the choice was between a SSD/Regular combo drive or a pure SSD for same price. I've read that pure SSD is better for gaming. Won't be storing much else besides games on the machine...

    Welp, CyberPunk is coming out so went ahead and ordered even though prices not the best. They won't be coming down soon so ... whatever. Went through CyberPowerPC. I got current desktop and laptop through them and never any issues. - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7GHz [4.6GHz Turbo] - AMD Radeon RX 6800...

    Damn this is incredibly realistic for real time rendering.

    This dude is usually right but hope he is wrong about this.

    The Mandalorian

    Even if you hate the Quartering check the first 15 secs of this. He hired a real editor and now his intros are usually hilarious.

    Console Wars documentary

    Check out Console Wars documentary on CBS All Access. Interviews with a bunch of Nintendo and Sega insiders. Timeline starts right after Atari tanked the mid-80's and ends when Playstation 1 dominates everything. Really well done. 👍

    Laptop Computers

    CyberPowerPC laptops are nice for the price. Had one for 4 years and zero problems: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/category/gaming-laptops/ Friend asked about buying a Dell recently and the prices terrible comparatively for the hardware you get. Also wait till Black Friday / Cyber Monday. They...

    Upgrading for Cyberpunk 2077. My GForce 1060 and Core I5 starting not to cut it these days ... I usually buy from CyberPowerPC on Black Fridays or Cyber Mondays. Decent prices, nice quality, and good customer service. Bought PCs and laptops from them and no complaints...

    The Metal Thread

    Yeah so Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer) are in Mr Bungle. Scott was always better in other bands besides Anthrax (like SOD). https://metalinjection.net/news/mr-bungle-bassist-explains-how-anthrax-ex-slayer-members-joined-the-band

    Punk Music

    Been on a YouTube binge of old stuff I missed or was way too young to experience. YouTube still the best gold mine of music there is. Compilation album with The Groinoids, Decadence, The Proletariat, The Freeze, The F.U.'s, Jerry's Kids, and Gang Green. Jerry's Kids opens and is awesome...

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    No multiplayer is disappointing, especially after how fun the Original Sin is coop, but can live with it. Making any game multiplayer is exponentially harder.

    Watching with wife. Not too bad. There's a few absolute cringe moments though randomly thrown in. Also not done yet but 1 pretty questionable plot hole:

    Woke TV goes to 11 - new diversity standards

    How do you get "LGBT representation" without asking who is gay during interviews? "Great audition. Btw, are you a lesbian?"

    Raised by Wolves

    Yeah really strong start but went a bit downhill into weirdness. Still good show. After The Expanse hard to find sci-fi that is consistently as excellent.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've never coop-ed Divinity Original Sin 2. Then a buddy who never plays turn-based stuff got it and is now addicted. We've been coop-ing every night on his game save with one other dude. Anyway, BG3 coop will be just as epic I hope.

    Wasteland 3

    Weird about the AR feedback. My AR guys got most of my kills. The range, cover ignore, and extra AP perk made them great. When enemies get close switch to SMG.

    Wasteland 3

    Finished in around 56 hours. Sided with Angela. Jailed all 3 kids. Jailed the Patriarch. Stayed in Colorado. Awesome game. Will definitely be back for the inevitable Director's cut and bump up the difficulty. Changes wish list - can remove weapon and armor mods, individual initiative, armor...

    Raised by Wolves

    Ok at first was expecting a darker Lost In Space. Holy shit this is way far away from that. Aside from a couple janky CG flying scenes this is extremely well done. It has a lot of philosophical aspects from classic sci-fi like Dune or Foundation.

    Necromunda: Underhive Wars

    Warhammer farms out the IP for any game except the most wanted: digital tabletop Warhammer. Set up seasons, tourneys, ladders, booster packs, rares, etc. It would be a cash farm like Magic.

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    Yeah low IQ folks regularly say something like "how can you vote for Politician X if you like RATM"? The Dead Kennedys Facebook page was the worst on this. Uhh last I checked nobody rational literally acts out the lyrics of every song they like. NWA is awesome but I do not condone gang...

    Wasteland 3

    Finally got out to the world map. Damn best world map mechanics ever. Also the vehicle is the first time since Fallout Tactics (that I know of) where you can drive a vehicle around in a tactical RPG and fight with it. Although in Tactics you could stay in the APC and point rifles out the windows.

    Wasteland 3

    I backed it and played the beta. Similar to WL2 but improved in most ways. UI, mechanics, production value, etc. This should be great. If there is a way to join the Gippers (worshippers of Ronald Reagan) I'm in.

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

    Why couldn't they have taken all this time and effort and made 4 Diablo or Baldur's Gate style single player or COOP RPGs? Making a MMOG with a small company is nearly impossible. Even if it succeeds it will be cheat-ridden in 5 minutes because not even Blizzard, Valve, Activision etc. can stop...
