    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I did start it a few years ago, got really invested and then the game kept crashing to desktop and id lose a bunch of progress. I haven't picked it back up since but we may look into it.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Beat it last night. Definitely missed a few things but got about as close to 100% as I'd realistically want. We did the hero/nice playthrough but I can see the appeal of durge. Looks like we hit right on 130h. I think if I had played solo I would've chopped a lot of hours off, but she really...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I enjoyed act 3 to an extend but I would've enjoyed it WAY more if I was levelling. Even if it was some sort of AA system where doing the extra content was benefiting me. I did get some gear from it, but going from an epic act 2 finale to basically an errand boy in town was a downshift.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Work has been burning me out so bad I took a full sick day off yesterday just to not work and it felt amazing. My team of 4 is down to 2 because 1 got poached and the other got brain surgery. We've been joking that our code almost killed him. Maybe that's in poor taste...

    Finally made it to the final battle. I think on replays I would skip 95% of what happens in lower city and just do the foundry, gortash, and Orin. It was 1am so we had to stop but we're saved at the bottom of the stem. Also they've been throwing so much XP at us it really feels like a shame...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Did about 4-5 hours today and I feel this. Biggest crime here is the soundtrack. I can sometimes hear the riffs but the soundtrack is way too much in the background. Doom 2016/eternal nailed the soundtrack and really kicking it in when battle started. This game you just hear the guitar a bit...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Stepbrother, no blood relation and we weren't close. So there is a 0 percent chance. I've already come to terms that one day I may need to raise my niece though. My sister is mentally unstable.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Stepbrother was having marital issues and decided to put a bullet in his own head today. Left behind a wife and FIVE young kids. God fucking damnit

    The Official Guitar Thread

    I have a MIJ HM-2 and a newer waza craft one. I don't really play with them too much anymore but time to time I bust them out for some fun. I even modded the MIJ one to use a standard 9V DC power supply. I will say there's a reason they're the gold standard and while the clones are really...

    Anyone have a good recommendation on decent HDDs for my Plex server? Currently have some really old, aging 1 and 5TB drives but looking into a couple reliable ~20TB drives to expand it.

    I've gotten a few at larger companies like Nvidia, Oracle, etc. But I noticed a trend where the jobs interviewed for a year ago are still listed every week.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I found LinkedIn has a lot of "promoted" and fake jobs. Still it's a good place to start. I did get some solid interviews there. I found indeed to be much better as the jobs actually seem real.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I meticulously learned her moveset over ~3 hours to where I barely got hit. On subsequent playthrough she still takes me easily an hour to get the rhythm back. Tattooed that slut on my arm for the pain she inflicted

    I opened the gigabyte mobo box and saw a manual so figured I was good to go. It was not the full manual. I really only needed it to make sure I was using the right headers so I pulled it up on my phone.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Some vague attempt.at it, but I was moreso joking you saying you didn't understand the allure of pve shooters in the thread for a series that pioneered the genre.

    I agree. The gigabyte mobo having not much of a manual so I had to go to their website was lame. EquLly lame was my work laptop blocking the MS site so I had to do some janky shit to make an installer

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Played this last night. It plays decent. Runs insane on my new rig. Couple thoughts. The music is good but definitely a downgrade from 2016 and eternal. It's missing some power behind it or something. Graphically it looks amazing of course. I kind of hate how the game slows down when you...

    I gotta be honest act 3 is really dragging down my enjoyment. I'd just run to the finish line now but my wife wants to do everything. Every goddamn house in the city has its own quest line. When people gave this a 10/10 and GOTY did they spend 60 fucking hours in Lower City at max level the...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Don't see any ads with Firefox + ublock origin but the ads on the TV are AWFUL. I've never wanted to not pay for a product more.in my life. Fuck YouTube. Also what the fuck are.they doing with the desktop site. The thumbnails are massive now.

    There's also the question of conflicts of interest. Even if the fields aren't related. When I was in defense we had to disclose any alternate employment and they could ban any of it for any reason.

    Been using a BenQ zowie for about 5 or 6 years now after continually breaking death adders and Logitech g pro wireless. My favorite mouse. Anyone tried the wireless version? I particularly like BenQ because it's all hardware and no extra software.

    Kind of annoyed I WFHed today because ups said the GPU would be here, and big surprise they let me down again. Either way I built the PC and it posted first time so I got that going for me. Don't mind the pcie cables just sadly waiting.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Yeah I work on servers, the power draw without GPUs is already super high (2x1500W PSUs are common), but when GPUs are added we have to really amp it up (heh)

    That's why I bought 2x32GB and not 4x16 And didn't buy it for performance gains, I just wanted headroom.
