Since I'd spent some money buying some games on Steam Autumn sale, I decided to spend some on a couple of games from Origin as well. These games have gone into my 1TB Samsung 850 EVO 'coz I intend to play them often.....

Ladies and gentleman, we got him.

Only a day late..

Have not used it quite yet (am running some stuff on my PC), but it feels quite comfortable. It's kinda.. Cheap feeling though. Especially the buttons and triggers.

 

I also got Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally 2.0 last Sunday.

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

Ordered Muttluck snow mushers for our dog, Olivia. not so much for the cold, but to protect against the salt on sidewalks - she goes everywhere with us. :)

Bought all of the parts for my new gaming/streaming machine, built out the machine looks and runs great. Loving this build, the 3800x is a beast smile.gif This machine is called StrixTeamRed
 

I also posted a live stream of the build on my Twitch channel if anyone wants to see it, I will be following up with some benchmarks and reviews soon.

Only a small purchase this time!

 

image.png.566546219dda8468a385bdc805c54fd1.png

 

 

50 metre's of decent speaker cable, and a lifetime's supply of banana plugs! (all for rear surrounds of the home theater)

LTT's Resident Porsche fanboy and nutjob Audiophile.

 

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

WD40.thumb.jpeg.ce18890b4e5a83d1c7304b06c48b7905.jpeg

 

Just got this, it is not because I need to get rid of rust, but to make another brushed finish on another metal parts in my house.

 

This thing does not only for rust but also does wonder for making brushed finish on metal, trust me..

WD 40 has many applications, the manufacturer has at least one pdf with over 2000 uses for it. I also like to use it to remove rusted screws or to clean stainless steel surfaces.

This is the ultimate multi-use product. You spray metal surface with it and scratch it for good..

 

This is one of what I did with WD-40 recently,

-snip-

better update your bio then

 

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

I got a 100% kick-ass product laptop.   Yea mang.  It's really my Christmas present to myself.   I've been looking at the raider laptops for over a year.  But this one put me over the top.   I got a good deal as well.  1500 USD.    It's really super very noice.    I'm not supposed to open it until Christmas Eve tho.   See how that holds up.    I mean it takes alot of time to download and install all the games.

That's a damn good deal.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.
