As someone who attended the last one, I feel you. I did the exact same thing, my own fault (and yours, sorry). I did want to go this year and 'do it right' this time. But the tickets were so much more expensive this year with no explanation, it left a taste in my mouth that the point of LTX was to make as much money as they could, rather than pay it back to the community, even in small part. They're a company, they don't have to give away LAN seats for anything less than they want to. I also don't have to support a decision I don't agree with. Still a little sad that I couldn't have saved a few bucks on LAN tickets (still don't know why they were so much more expensive this year compared to last one), when I was actually looking forward to spending about a grand on merch. The latter part didn't happen, because I didn't go...

Well yes. Literally he wasnt. But figuratively, it would make a good joke. Its tons better than the iGPU yes. So thank you friend tha tlet me borrow it. What I get for selling what I had...... 1080ti broke so EVGA gave me a 2080super, which I sold because I wanted something that could actually 4k. Aaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm borrowing a 770 lol.

Yes, that was yesterday. Todays video is uh, 8 hours late, give or take. So something bad happened, or Linus got fired. Its not Friday so theres no WAN show later instead. I choose to believe he got fired, because that is the most humorous outcome. In the meantime I have to sit and hit F5 every 4 seconds so I can try to get a video card that's not my integrated, or a borrowed GTX 770....

Exactly, which is why theres no video. Getting fired as a CEO is a big deal. Everything's being moved over to LinusCatTips

Im pretty sure Linus just got fired for losing $50k on Gamestop, so no more videos folks, its just all over.

For the entirety of college (dont ask me how long, lets just say more than 4 years) I moved twice a year to college and back home. Now, I lived in Alaska. So each move was a 16 hour drive with some pretty bumpy sections. Some of the worst parts were in Canada funnily enough... Wanna know my secret? Just jam the case somewhere so it doesnt move. For me, that was put it on the floor in the backseat and slide the front passenger seat back until it squeezes the case. Now it doesnt move more than the car moves. Now, cars dont actually move that much, you feel it because your head isnt clamped to the car, its on your neck and is flexible. Unless your going through speedbumps at top speed every 30 seconds, your PC will be fine as long as you "attach" it to your car. Carmakers have spent millions of dollars on suspension systems so cars have largely just stopped shaking apart constantly, use that R&D. I have never had a hard drive fail due to those trips, and many of them have been through at least 6 trips ~16x6x2=190+ hrs of driving with that simple solution. Didnt bother laying anything down for the video card/cpu cooler bouncing. And I did use aircooling back then. Now, some of the coolers are bigger, and the GPU's are definitely bigger, but as an engineer (passed license exam, just waiting on bureaucracy) I can tell you its the jerk (acceleration of acceleration) that kills things, not the "gentle" bouncing you'd get with a normal car ride.

Did i screw up my account settings or something? LTX website says email notifications hould have gone out with seat selection and a discord link, I have neither. I find out about seat selection from watching a 5 day old WAN show :(

totes dope

I would like to travel with a computer that doesn't weigh 60 pounds.
