| Topic | So building a gaming PC seems to be more involved than I thought |
| Pitlord_Special 01/01/20 3:14:14 PM #41 | teepan95 posted... Too late, already ordered the card I just rebuilt mine last weekend and got the gtx 1660 super as well (upgraded from a gtx 970), I looked at the 1660 Ti but it was like a $50 difference for maybe a few more FPS https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660-Ti/4056vs4037 Though I consider it more of a stopgap to hold me over for a couple years or so until Nvidia realizes the crypto fad is over and brings their prices back down to earth maybe with the rtx 3000 series cards (not counting on it too much) --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | Would you ever spend $1,000+ on a phone? |
| Pitlord_Special 01/01/20 2:43:12 PM #22 | If you use your phone for work, then it's more of a 'capital expenditure' that hopefully pays for itself by improving your productivity or having less stress/frustration to not have to deal with something janky while you're trying to get work done. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | You think the 2020s will be less shitty than the 2010s were? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/31/19 9:04:59 PM #4 | I've said it before and I'll say it again. If this is what passes for the good times, then we're in for a world of hurt when the 'bad times' swing back around. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | Biden is going to win and everything is going to fall apart |
| Pitlord_Special 12/31/19 1:26:59 AM #4 | Still preferable to Bernie who would break the laws of space and time to uninvent capitalism and erase everything humanity has accomplished --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | which way is this guy swinging? (the new blue/black vs white/gold dress debate) |
| Pitlord_Special 12/25/19 1:13:17 PM #57 | Pretty obvious he is facing the camera to me. I mean, I can see the other way once it was drawn out to me but it doesnt look right as you cant really swing at an angle against how the seat is hung without it starting to twist and bounce around and this guy looks smooth to me. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | When designing an OC character what cliche do you usually see? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/25/19 12:59:54 PM #8 | If were talking about game characters we make... I always make my characters with gray eyes if possible since thats my eye color IRL. So, its kind of like the part of me that looks through my characters eyes Usually black hair but Ive done brown, white and red but almost never blonde (I have brown hair) --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | You ever think about how there's a retired Pope out there? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/24/19 6:11:47 PM #15 | I thought it was a shame he didnt last too long. I always enjoyed the Popetine memes that came of dear old Benedict XVI --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | How late can you show up to work before someone notices? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/23/19 4:48:27 PM #5 | My job has significant amounts of field work, sometimes done straight from home without hitting the office, so if youre not in, youre generally assumed to be in the field. Though were also asked to put those appointments on our Outlook calendars so theres some accountability of whats going on. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | how to not screw up cooking a steak? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/22/19 3:09:04 PM #16 | Smashingpmkns posted... Get boneless ribeye. Preheat oven to 400 - 500. Pretty close to how I make my steaks and they turn out great Though if you're making steaks for multiple guests for Christmas or whatever, maybe look into doing a prime rib roast or something. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | C/D Life is about money. |
| Pitlord_Special 12/22/19 6:34:52 AM #13 | That's kind of a superficial perspective. I see money as just a symbolic representation of your economic contribution to society used to exchange for other peoples' contributions. So...if you look past that and consider "Life is about making and doing things that people need, want, and enjoy, and them doing the same for you" then it doesn't seem so...venal --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | If a new trilogy had the plot of SW 7-9, it would never have been produced |

| Topic | Are you shy? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/15/19 1:39:40 PM #19 | Not really. Definitely introverted and there's times I'd rather not deal with anyone but I don't feel any anxiety or distress about having to face people or start a conversation (even asking girls out doesn't bother me if I know they're into me and I feel the same way) --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | I understand the Popeyes chicken sandwich hype now. |
| Pitlord_Special 12/14/19 7:25:52 PM #8 | lilORANG posted... More like Poopeyes tbh. And what kind of chicken place doesn't have mac n cheese as a side? I tried it for the first time last weekend and they had mac+cheese there Honestly it was pretty good, I liked it better than CFA. The Whatachicken at Whataburger is still my favorite though. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | Do you ever fantasize about ditching society and living off the land? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/07/19 3:17:32 AM #21 | All of the most livable areas have been converted for use by civilization so anywhere thats still open to doing something like that would be a hard time (that is, theres a reason nobody is living there now) Also people arent mean to live in isolation. I love being part of a family./user.php?db=.5.user=tribe and contributing to those around me, and would lose a sense of purpose just living for myself --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

My dad started playing games online year or so after I had and wasnt long after that we ended up getting cable internet --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | Americans Only Please: Have cops made YOUR individual life better? |
| Pitlord_Special 12/02/19 11:52:21 AM #18 | White Probably the best thing a cop has done for me was when I got in my first car accident (not my fault), they were in an unmarked vehicle a few cars back and were able to step in and make sure everything and everyone was taken care of and redirect traffic, and be a credible witness so there wasnt any dispute over what happened. Nobody was hurt but both vehicles were disabled so they got the towing arranged. Worst thing was losing $200 because of a speeding ticket (not really a fair one but whatever) --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Topic | Do you care about the meta in games? |
| Pitlord_Special 11/30/19 12:23:41 PM #13 | Depends on the game and what I'm looking to get out of it. If I'm playing a game for the first time, I usually stay on normal difficulty and try to beat it with minimal outside help. If I'm replaying it on max difficulty or something, then I look up guides, strategies, builds etc. Online games, I usually stay apprised of it but don't always feel it's necessary to play to the max all the time. It's important to me that I feel like I'm pulling my weight on a team (and even better if I'm helping carry them to some extent). I don't hold it against less optimal players and trash them for being 'bad' but feel like it's a fun challenge to me to try and compensate for them. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |

| Pitlord_Special 11/26/19 8:21:50 AM #29 | SmidgeIsntBack posted... Can't find it right now but he's said that he hasn't changed from when he was 5 years old, a quote that still stuns me with its simultaneously 100% and 0% self awareness.

| Topic | Real talk, how the hell do you read computer specs? |
| Pitlord_Special 11/25/19 5:54:43 AM #14 | GPU and CPU are the two that make the most significant difference and hardest to have an idea of how they stack up with one another. I use this site for rough comparisons Https://www.videocardbenchmark.net Https://www.cpubenchmark.net Only caveat with the CPU benchmarks is to ignore the Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC results as those are server grade CPUs that score well on the benchmark but arent optimal for gaming For RAM, generally bigger is better is the order of the day. More capacity and faster speed are the two things to look at. 16 GB is what you want to shoot for here, with RAM speed having only a minor impact on overall performance in many applications. SSD follow the same rule as RAM --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
| Topic | Americans love buying trucks whose features they never use |
| Pitlord_Special 11/24/19 8:12:32 PM #36 | This country's society celebrates a culture of excess in all aspects of life, not just the vehicles we drive. Look at how big new houses are compared to years ago. Not like families are getting bigger, or people are taking up hobbies or activities that need a ton of space. Just more room to store all that shit you don't really need. --- Posted from my iPhone 8 |
