fridge corn posted:theres no point in owning a pc for gameing anymore just buy a ps4 duhh I know that you're being sarcastic, but that's exactly why I got an Xbox 360 years ago. I got tired of trying to keep up with PC hardware, and all the drivers, etc., not to mention trying to afford it. I now have an Xbox One, but there are a few games on the PC worth playing, and the higher resolutions available are tempting. For instance, I'd like to play Player Unknowns Battlegrounds.

Been force feeding myself and doing half days at work this week, slowly getting back to normal. Pisses me off because I brought the race car home on the 15th and haven't had the energy to do much other than look at it.

Back in the glory days of PC gaming it was the best, these days consoles easily keep up and the only reason to run a hideously overpriced PC gaming rig is to game at 4k on a monitor (which in itself is lol). I sit my rear end down on a big comfy bean bag in front of a huge TV with a 5.1 setup from the gods, throw a game in and enjoy. These days I don't even have to wait to update games because I have the console do all that poo poo overnight. Consoles own these days as long as it's not a garbage-rear end xbone with it's messy as gently caress ADHD user interface. Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 16:05 on May 24, 2017 |

I got a 980GTX almost 2 years ago now, and recently upgrade the monitor to an ultrawide 3440x1440 and it runs games like the Division at perfectly acceptable framerates even when all sorts of poo poo is going on with the settings pretty much maxed out. I don't really game all that much these days, so I don't see replacing it for a long time.

Shrugs Not Drugs posted:You can do that with a PC too tho. I have for years (replace 5.1setup with hipster vintage hifi setup tho, personal preference). Steam updates games on its own as the updates drop, Big Picture mode is as good as any console UI now and I don't have to adapt to the garbage Bone controller (or worse, a Sony hand-cramping device) cause I'm still rocking the 360 controller. And I can VNC onto it with my laptop and do regular PC stuff or You can't play bloodborne on a pc tho

Nintendo does that false scarcity bullshit so much, and they are constantly talking out of both sides of their mouth when it comes to hardware and 3rd party support that I won't trust them to not turn the Switch into another Wii U Hell, they just announced a new version of the 3DS after claiming that they were moving 3DS developers onto projects for the Switch so that there's more releases for their flagship. Guess what every Switch owner I know is complaining about their otherwise fun and convenient console right now?

To actually contribute to some discussion, this is the car I'm considering: https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/6143954471.html Carfax is nice and clean with regular service intervals. One-owner car with records. I think I'm going to pull the trigger tonight if all is as it appears.

quote:If Americans would eat beans instead of beef, the US would immediately realize approximately 50 to 75% of its greenhouse gas reduction targets for the year 2020, according to researchers from four American universities in a new paper. So, who here would give up beef for sports cars? I know I would.

It depends. Give up beef for an MX-5? Nah. Give up beef for a mint condition mid-90s Acura NSX? Pass me the magical fruit.

With that being said, it gets more use than my gaming pc + pswhatever combined. I fuggin love it.

I haven't played my switch since I beat zelda. I still use my gaming PC almost daily. Never really been big on consoles but I like this one for on the go stuff (if it had games).

I'm the least vegetarian person ever and I eat beef like 20 times a year when I have a steak or In & Out, it's not hard to avoid in California with lots of pork and chicken on offer so my car getting 14mpg seems to have evened out on its own. I also own a PS4, Xbox One and a 1060 card which was a great bang for buck buy, and I have admin/full rights on my 3 work systems and I don't even work in IT because I'm friends with the guys who do. Also Bloodborne is very good but Dark Souls II is the best of the entire series. Nier (edit: er, Nioh, that is) isn't bad either for a Souls clone and is also not playable on the PC.

Bajaha posted:What was the reason for the brand new car? Was it a mutual decision? I totally understand how frustrating it is when something you care about is treated like crap and ends up all beat up, no longer new. It sounds more like ignorance than anything else. At least it's not malicious. My wife bought herself a new car "because she deserved it, and doesn't want anyone elses hand-me-downs" (meanwhile I have never owned a new ~anything~)." She then proceeded to hit 2 gas station bollards, a parked car, a not parked car, a wall, a shelf, another wall, and god only knows what but I hope it was already dead. The next day someone scratched her door and she LOST HER loving MIND. A few weeks ago she rear ended someone and totaled it. We didn't even wait for the insurance money, we just went out and bought her ANOTHER brand new Rav4  It's not like she wants to hurt her car. It's just that she's incapable of being a good car owner. Some people are just bad people, but we love them anyway. At least now her car will slam on the brakes for her when she fucks up.

BraveUlysses posted:but bean burgers are fuckin terrible You've been eating crappy bean burgers, then. I'm not gonna give up a good medium rare burger anytime soon, but I've definitely had some absolutely delicious bean burgers. The frozen ones pretty much all suck, though. Gotta either make them fresh yourself or get them at a place that makes their own.

I paid $1400 for my PC build but I sold my drums, guitar, and a bunch of retro video games i had picked up years ago for $1 and only paid about $90 out of pocket

The band's van's 7.5L V8 sprung an exhaust leak of some variety that has resulted in the loudest, meanest, most grin-inducing Econoline that I've ever seen/heard. Once I get back within ear-shot I'll upload some videos. Holy cow, this thing.
