Aaaahhhhh. I was afraid you were talking about the bike company, which makes some of the most beautiful and bang-for-the-buck bicycles.

This is really funny this one I can relate to. They always felt cheap and unrefined to me

I've always seen them as crappy knock-off Legos. If they just used nice ABS plastic like Lego does, they'd be much better.

The worst is when they get mixed into the legos and then you think you see the piece you want and then it turns out to just be megablocks piece. it was so disapointing

Which model may I ask? And what didn't you like about it? The keyboard is the biggest complaint that I hear from people, but I have my own opinions on people who say that. 

 

Nobody is going to "come at you"

It is a Skylake gen model with a Radeon Pro 550, 256GB of storage, and 16GB of RAM.  I despise the keyboard, I find the touch bar useless and would much rather have physical keys, no more MagSafe, it only has USB-C ports, and when doing normal tasks on it, it sometimes gets unusually warm.  It's not my daily driver but my wife uses it as hers.

Yeah, and they've got an ugly matte finish, and always fall off easily. though they did make cool Halo tanks. I've always wished Lego would make some WWII sets or something. I'd be buying up planes and tanks like crazy. As of now, I'm always trying to stop myself from buying spaceships. Doesn't help that they keep making nicer Y wings and X wings and TIE Fighters and TIE Strikers and so on and so forth.

I had several starwars sets including a walker, the speeders from endor, an X-wing and those one of the yellow fighters from episode 1

Noice! I've never had any bigger sets, but I've got some battle packs (Clones! Yay!), Obi-Wan's starfighter, the freezing chamber, and my pride and joy, a U-Wing. I still want all the other spaceships (Especially the UCS Slave I, I've dreamed of that since I was 12 or so), I just don't want to pay for them. I've also got one extra special minifig, the prototype (white) Boba Fett. I a massive Mando/Fett fan, so I had to get him. He comes with a Lego Star Wars Encyclopedia.

That would be really cool. I miss building with legos it has been a long time. Maybe when I have my own kids I can get them into legos

Acer Monitors....

Everytime I have had pixle issues...

 

Used underware...the cost of antibiotics will break your bank....

 

but no seriously..no acer monitors 

All 3 of my monitors are Acer... not 1 issue after 4 years of ownership for 2 of them and 2 years of ownership for the 1440p one. I'd say it's just luck of the draw.

I can't hate Corsair as a whole, their sails are sweet and if it wasn't for Ryzen memory scare, I'd have probably went with Vengeance LED ram lol

 

Hmmm other nopes for me are Team flash drives and MSI/Asus motherboards.

What are you talking about? Asus and MSI are the best boards. I have never had trouble with either. Gigabyte and ASRock I hate. Only products I have ever had die on my

Ubisoft, for their continued hostility to the PC gaming community and refusal to invest in good infrastructure for their online games.

I like Corsair's logo lol

 

Also yeah, when Ryzen was newer and had many ram problems. I sprung for an expensive G.Skill set when other ram was prettier.

It's a sail?  I never noticed before.  lol

 

You mean you got g.skill because it would work with Ryzen but there's other RAM you'd rather have instead?

Hmm..imma add usb wifi adapters, they're so jank. All the boards I use now have built in wifi/BT for the occasion that I need some wireless support in a pinch.

I've had a decent experience using an ASUS USB wireless-AC adapter I was using with my old laptop.  

 

You've had trouble with USB wifi adapters?

HP and Lenovo.  I also won't buy duracell flash drives ever again (I own a couple and they're slow as shit).

 

I will never buy a Chrysler vehicle minus their trucks, as Chrysler only seems to know how to make dodge trucks.

Same with Ford.

Never will buy a Honda either.

I thought I'd heard that Honda was a good brand for cars.

 

Have you had trouble with them or something else you don't like?

 

I'll hopefully be buying a car in the near future and one brand I'm planning to look is Honda because I heard they were good.

Oh, I don't care for the Civic and I mostly drive pickup trucks.  The Honda "pickup" truck is not a real truck.  (At least, most truck guys feel this way about it)

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

What about the civic don't you like?    I've looked at a few civics that's why I'm asking.

As for the Civic, it's more to do with the community it's garnered.
