My buddy just ordered a 4090, then after it was placed he changed his mind and cancelled it, they still sent him the card. No charge on his card at all. The luckiest bastard.

It's easier to poll keyboard input from the standard APIs then it is to try and grab every single HID and watch the inputs yourself. Especially when you need to account for things like keyboard localization which you now have to do entirely yourself.

I've had that happen with Amazon and a $80 purchase but with a 4090 that's insane! I should note the only reason nothing stresses my 2070s too much is due to me playing at 1440p. Chasing that 4K PC dream ain't worth it.

A 4090 is twice the size of a baby so itd be a good trade based on volume alone

You get one of those clip on baby vests, take the baby and play call of duty or whatever with it strapped on while wearing headphones on on your sweet ultrawide with 4090rtx AND your wife is glad to have the break, it’s win/win.

Honestly when they are younger than 6 months old it’s what they like. Once they get older you start training them to help fill out your squad online.

Played maybe 8 hours of fallout 76 over the weekend since the show made me think about it. I played the beta and it was atrocious. It’s come a long way since then, and I can’t really recommend it but it plays well and the world is pretty cool. Idk if it even has a main story though? It’s like a game of nothing but side quests. I’d probably play it over 4 at this point tbh

Weren’t they posting the whole time about all their bad decisions and it was super plain to everyone else what the problem was (living in squalor)? priznat posted:No no you strap the kid to yourself so it’s all good! Honestly when they are younger than 6 months old it’s what they like. Boppy pillow and open headphones was the 6am - noon shift with the baby playing new vegas 11 years ago. Now that baby spent this evening learning to build fires (scouts, not pyromania, though the difference sometimes is minimal).

And the photos were horrendous - he’d claimed it was a bit untidy but it was like the worst poo poo on Hoarders. Looking back the whole thing was just really depressing. Their 5 year old is probably 18 by now, hope she made it out okay

Hearing about stuff like that makes me sad, but also happy with my own life. So I guess it evens out. Anyhoo, weird that there are still no patch notes released for the Fallout 4 update.
