  1. I sold AMD at $68 right before it jumped to $74 :(
    Oh well it'll pay for most of my books this semester

      Don't blame you, I had serious doubts AMD would go over $70 too

  2. Decided to start investing money on a limit. Gonna cut out a bunch of things I spend money on, then start limiting myself to various things I probably spend too much on.. like Redbull or Steam. Take what I save and see what I can do :)

     

  3. I have a USB drive but can't find it >.> I know the moment I buy one, I'll find it.

    I can't find power supplies anywhere, hopefully…

  5. I can't find power supplies anywhere, hopefully this guy on hardwareswap pulls through with this one. Everything else ordered

  6. Think I'm going to build my Mom a PC for mothers day, Have DDR4 Ram, mATX case already. Probably just going to go with a 3200G, though need to find a board that comes with a BIOs updated for it. Then just need PSU and like a 500GB SSD.
    edit: Mini ITX case, makes this a bit harder. Might have to go with Intel since miniITX AM4 boards are dumb

  7. AMP/DAC is nice :)

    Also convenient for adjusting volume but a for sure improvement over none. 

  8. Also, my one year gap for college is pretty much done. My Community College finished their second bachelors program and it's for Microelectronic Manufacturing. I was going for an Electronic Engineering degree which I LOVED the hands on, building the circuits etc portion of it but fucking despised that it was like a "I'm ok at the engineering portion and Computer Science portion, but not great at either". I hated the coding classes, they were a pain in my ass and I wanted nothing to do with them. This degree is pretty much everything I wanted my original degree to be. Average salary of $100,000/year and with the classes I already have I could finish it in 3 instead of 4 or spread my classes out a bit further and take the chance to redo some of my original classes. Now that I'm away from home it'll give me the time and space plus I've matured a bit since then. Going to talk with the lead of the program and see what I can do.

  9. Started looking for a new job, just casually to see what chances I have so I can move somewhere part time and go back to school. Already in contact with someone directly who's good friends with a current coworker and he put a good word in. We'll see, if they can offer a reasonable pay rate and make sure I can at minimu live and go to school I'll be good.

    Ya, we have a great relationship though. I help them, they help me and it's a huge refresher being here compared to what I dealt with at my parents. As much as they would, the only thing they really help me with is letting me live here. I still pay my own car payment, insurance, phone bill, keep up with the yard and as an ex-landscaper I put probably too much effort and money into it. The only "rule" and that's loosely used is just letting them know if I won't be home for the night.
  11. Think it's time I do some upgrades and clean the setup up a bit :)
    Ordered a JDSlabs Atom Amp and Ol Dac.
    Also ordered a Drop high profile CTRL keyboard with Kalih box whites and might get some neat keycaps later.
    Next step in about a month or so I'll probably move my desk to the other side of the room, get rid of the TV stuff entirely to give me a bit more room. I'll probably get a triple monitor mount and two new side monitors and potentially keep a 4th one above my main. Monitors are going to be a bit rough but at minimum they'll be 1440p.
    Sometime later down the road I'll get something like an AT2035, Focusrite solo and have everything all neat and what not :D


    After my car accident, my insurance went down somehow. A bit of a raise at work and what not and I still live with my grandparents which probably won't change anytime soon since it would just be dumb for me to move out.

      Sometimes the most financially smart thing isn't the best for you. Independence is a powerful thing.

  12. having a friend get a pc and sending them the 40 spare humble keys I have is oddly satisfying

  13. Since when did Tuesdays turn into the day where every dev updates their game

  14. I need a new mouse >.>
    I'd like to get the same one I have but I also have a $40 best buy gift card from like 4 months ago so... probably just gonna get one from there

    EDIT: >.< Every mouse I like is like $100
    EDIT 2: Ok, probably going with the 903 SE at Best Buy. Seems to just be a better version of the original 903 and has the sensor I want.

    Anything around the $400 mark? I can't justify spending 3/4 of pay check on a phone honestly
  16. Zenfone 6 if I can get for just under $400 should I do it

      Ehhh. Is it a limited time offer? Cuz a shitload of new phones are only a little over a month away.

    Screen is all cracked, likes to restart randomly and then not recognize my sim card sooooo I go like a few hours, especially in this time is a lot of time to lose or cause problems

      @kameshss It could have 1000w charging, it doesn't help if you're not near a charger ;)

      haha @dizmo for sure. It easily lasts for 1 or 1 1/2 day for my usage. I do light gaming, social apps usage and etc. Around 6 hours SoT.

  19. What good timing for Destiny to move to Steam :)

  20. Hm, potential chance I might be able to get another promotion at work. It'll be team lead and I thought I was already out of the question due to how some things were being worded but potentially, one of our managers was a bit reassuring on the matter.

  21. So imagine getting a new car and getting in an accident going 70mph
    Though good thing is no one was hurt, I only have minor bruising on my neck that is already healing and insurance is covering everything plus another new car. And my insurance won't go up :D That is unless I get in another accident in the next 5 years which don't plan on it

  22. I quit playing after months of just having a hacked client and slowly spawning money in and forgetting to disable my client on a new update so they banned me I spent my 6 or 7 months actually grinding.. I mean with groups of often 5 or 6 people to do things and got no where so we all started duping cars which when that became to difficult most of us quit playing. Then came PC, got a hacked client and only ever spawned money in because the only thing I ever liked doing in GTA V was dicking around with buddies with the new content. I'll stick to modded servers on FiveM from now on.. still on edge about RPing in GTA V, modern RP is not quite what I find fun in RP without any twist such as what DayZ offers.
  23. I can say cruising down the highway at 80mph and getting 38mpg and even way above rated in city is a feelsgood. Supposed to get like 25 city, 34 highway and getting around 30 city, 38 highway

  24. >.> Haven't felt this way in ages. Not really a bad feeling but I'll keep it up in the air as to what it could be.
