Somehow I completely missed with the rest of this response. I really like my index, but I've had BOTH base stations die. Valve has replaced both free of charge, even outside my warranty period....which tells you they know it's a problem. But hey, they're making good on it. I've heard they were making a new one, but I don't follow the hype because VR gaming is a dead end. There's only a couple of actual triple A titles and 500,000 cheap cash grabs. It's the 3D TV of gaming. If you aren't doing a simulator, it's not even worth it. I've never bought a flight stick, so I tried DCS with waggle controls. It's just weird. Occasionally I will watch a movie in big screen or play mini golf with a buddy, but that's about it.

Need and want are mutually exclusive for sure. I totally get wanting the big dog and knowing you're at the top. You buy once, you cry once. But unfortunately Nvidia is notorious for undelivering on volume.

Yeah I wouldn't trust the used market. I feel like the leap from 4070 to 4090 would be sizable though? Maybe I'm wrong? It would also be a lot cheaper than a 5090 that you likely won't fully utilize with gaming. (Total assumption) Bear in mind it's not all GPU, what CPU are you running? You don't want to bottleneck your performance because the proc can't keep up.

Nice setup. I'm not sold on the 50 series yet. I currently have a 4080 super OC'd pushing a 34" ultra wide at a very steady 120fps at 3440x1440. I also have a valve index VR (under a lot of dust sadly) and the card exceeds it's refresh rate. The card gobbles anything I throw at it with max settings, ray tracing, etc. I have two close friends who spent about 5k on their rigs and bought 4090s. One of them works in 3d animation, so it's great for him. The other is a gamer and he's got buyers remorse as the card is complete overkill.

I don't post as often as I used to, but @BigKenouraged me to share this. If you are buying your first AR, it's gonna be real hard to beat this price. $299!! https://thecastlearms.com/product-details?id=299863451

Agreed. Right now it's an infant. In fact it's more machine learning than AI. Effectively a better Google search. AGI is when it will start getting interesting. Especially if it links up with quantum. But, we're likely a ways away from that being mainstream.

That's a good looking pair. Wish our feet matched in size. Side Note: You should have saved this for a trade +"boot"

Buccee's stuff is alright if you're nearby. Honestly, the clean bathrooms are the best part. Personally I like the chocolate covered almonds. You can keep the beaver nuggets

This isn't surprising as BP sucks. I've explicitly told family not to get me BP gift cards for birthdays and Christmas. "IF" I'm at Opry Mills, I will drop in. Same inventory, same overpricing, literally every time. Tell me you never want me to visit again without telling me you never want me to visit again.

I worked for sunup till sundown today (at home). Real pretty out the window, but i never stepped foot outside

Oh no. I have two of these! I'm really screwed!

So I watched his new short and thought, "that's not the woods he's usually in". The comments said "what's he doing in O Block?" Did a quick map search and it sure looks like he filmed this in Chicago. Unless there's some place local that has the same setup. Interesting

I was there yesterday. Will have to try that

Didn't follow him, but it's sad to hear when anyone passes away. RIP and God bless the family.

BKRL Gunship is all i drink these days

Congrats sir. Spoil 'em rotten then send 'em home!

You can't aim when you're glock-eyed

Own the game or subscribe to game pass (it's on there) You'll need an Xbox live subscription Internet Should be about it.

Gen X here. Definitely not offended, maybe confused? Gen X was born from like 1965 - 1980. Then you had millennials followed by Gen Z.

Oh man, if you want a real laugh https://11foot8.com/. I can watch these videos for hours. Probably a better experience to hit it on youtube, but i wanted to give the site credit. https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8/videos *edit* Have to share one of my favorite crashes
