Would be nice of them. Still debating Vega. Everything I have seen shows its double the performance at 1440p over a 480. A Power Cooler Red Devil is 500 at my local micro center so tempted. 

Runs better than its Nvidia counterpart in Blackops 4 if that interests you at all.

Bought Forsaken, got the bow and immediately went into a PvP match. Amazing how fun it is to use. Not really the best weapon, but it is by far the most fun.

Minority opinion: I'd much rather see him complete the Prometheus-Covenant-Awakening story. 

 

Yeah yeah, stupid biologists and plot holes, but I wanna see how those eggs got on the derelict with the Space Jockey  

While I enjoyed Prometheus, Covenant destroyed anything that was mildly interesting that could have been further explored/explained.

Firstly, the A7iii doesn't suffer from star eating like previous models, which is nice. For video it is great as it actually supersamples at 6k and then creates a 4k video. I don't do any video though.

Now if only I could afford a FF camera and its lenses

I think its time to buy another stick of RAM.

Looking to find myself a hobby, what's a good DSLR around the 1k price range?

I am considering buying a Fuji X-T2 currently. Its a mirrorless though, you could probably find an equally good DSLR with a couple lenses for that price.

I'll pull the trigger on The Witcher 3 one of these days. Today is not that day.

I've received the game as a gift, have bought it twice, and still haven't put more than 5 hours in total.

Yooka Laylee and Rime for $6 yes please.

If anyone wants Full Throttle or Hotline miami 2 DM me

I'm not hugely into Photography, but I own a Sony A6000 with a couple lenses.

I'm fairly confident in saying that Sony is the top dog in the mirrorless category and that the A7iii is an amazing camera.

However, if you plan on doing any kind of Astrophotography avoid them. The have whats called the "Star Eater" problem where the camera will edit out stars.

Otherwise its an amazing camera, I've never read a bad thing about it.

Also, Nikon and Canon just announced Full Frame mirrorless (Sony use to be the only option). Might be worth looking into how they stack up against Sony and if they bring their lens library with them. E-mount lenses are expensive, though you can get adapters as well.

Not sure how well versed you are in cameras, but Full Frame is a lot more expensive than the cropped APS-C. You might want to look into getting a Sony A6500 as it will save you a lot of money in lenses and in the body at the cost of a cropped sensor.

Eternal Darkness is still on my need to play list.

So I guess it's a blessing that the 2080 is sold out.

2080 or TI? There is still a few 2080's floating around. Bestbuy has the FE and I think I saw EVGA's floating around somewhere.

Had been reading the Farseer Trilogy, but took a break after book 2. Mostly because work doesn't allow electronics (kindle) in the building past employee lockers, but I've always owned a copy of Dune, but never actually read it. So I started taking that to work and read it, just started Dune Messiah.

Haven't bought Forsaken because how often I get burned by Bungie. They slowly ruined D1 until TTK, D2 comes out and its the exact same thing. Like how do you not avoid mistakes of the past.

The more hardcore aspect is actually extremely appealing to me, but Bungie still needs dedicated servers.

Hearing the praise BR mode is getting is gonna make me get this sooner rather than later... trying to wait for the Holliday sales though.

20hz tickrate and bad hitboxes are probably the two biggest complaints so far.

You could get this Pixio monitor and use the extra $100 to buy a 2700 or spend a little bit more and get a 2700X.

EDIT: I just noticed that was a TN panel, the IPS is also around $400. Apparently Pixio doesn't sell the PX277 anymore, just the PX277h which has HDR10?

You could do the Viotek GN27DB, but its curved and a VA panel. https://www.amazon.com/27-Inch-Monitor-Samsung-FreeSync-GamePlus/dp/B078P57ZWL/ref=sr_1_13?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1539981947&sr=1-13&keywords=ips+1440p+144hz

Also for whatever reason you can save like $25 bucks by ordering 2 single 8GB sticks of RAM rather than a bundle.

I own this DXRacer I've had it for a couple years. I got it 50% off during black friday or something of that nature.

Its comfy, yet firm. You don't really sink into it nor is it entirely uncomfortable to sit in. It doesn't get hot really even during the summer months.

The armrests options are useless(?) for me at least, 9 options, various heights, and I just keep it standard facing forward and as high as it goes while still sliding under my desk.

My biggest issue with it is that while you can take the lumbar support pillow off, it just creates this void where the back meets the seat.

By comparison I had a LaZboy chair that I got from Sam's Club while super comfy I also started having back pains after sitting in it for a few months. Quickly stopped using it.

Prior to that I had this Markus from IKEA that I've heard some people rave about. It wasn't a bad chair by any means, I just didn't find it to be that great.

Would I recommend one? Sure, they aren't horrible chairs, quite the opposite I think they are crafted pretty well. Just not worth the money, get it on clearance/sale or second hand.

Samsung has it all, better software and specs with an amazing camera. Pixel is just boring.

Definitely can't agree on software. Stock android is best android.

Also prefer pixel for guaranteed updates.

Lastly Bixby lol

I kind of want to know the quality of the toys. I really want that arwing, but if its just a cheap toy, meh.

Really want to buy switch version just for Fox.

Horrible phone, that notch is huge. The notch needs to die.

I think the Pixel 3 is a pretty good choice for a phone right now. It holds the exact same specs doesn't it? Just a smaller screen.

no procedural level generation

Thank goodness.

I'm fairly confident that is D2 Diablo. Maybe that HD remaster is still coming.

They've announced they are working on multiple projects. I'd assume one is HD remaster, the other is D4.

Thinking about it a Battlefield Renegade or Tiberium would be cool. A modern/light sci-fi setting would be pretty cool for the next Battlefield. Eventually make a Tiberium Sun, Wars, and Red Alert based games. 

 

Unless EA thinks BF can keep jumping between WW1, WW2, and modern.

I'm pretty sure I still have a Tiberium pre-order at Gamestop. Probably not in their system anymore, but I don't ever remember cancelling it.

I’ll piggyback off this thread. I’m tired of paying Comcast to rent my router so I’m lookong to buy my own. Would these ones you guys mentioned work or do I need a different type?

I use the Nighthawk with Xfinity. You should be fine.
