'Cause between a nice custom PC I built a year or so back and an overheating Galaxy S5 I got off of Ebay, I'd might as well play whatever I can on PC. The nice thing about that is that I can now play mobile games with mouse and keyboard... and a nice NES controller I got off of a thrift store.

Finally got my hair cut yesterday. It was by far the longest it had ever been before in my life thanks to this pandemic. But now, all shaved off, and my head is light again!

I figured it was finally time to get a picture up of my new pride and joy.

48 inches of 4K goodness, baby.

You think my fanfiction is good now?

Just wait until I start writing in 4K.

So it turns out I was wrong about my PC's power supply. It can take a GPU upgrade.

So Friday's overtime check turned into this:

35 minutes and one heart attack later, it's in, and quite a beautiful sight.

Thanks to you, I'm not waiting four days for an adapter that I don't even need.

You did a perfect job of describing things to a newbie. Needless to say, I'm absolutely hooked. That feeling when you've got everything hooked up, you cross your fingers and hit that power button, and everything lights up... Nothing else like it.

Um, two 2k ultrawides. Duh.

Still trying to figure out how to best manage all these damn cords.

If there's one thing that's good about living in 2020, it's that software for rolling your own service has never been better.

Warning: Non-pony.
Further warning: Nerdy as fuck.

So on Sunday and Monday, a couple things arrived at my door for my upcoming DIY PC build.

My case of choice, the Corsair Graphite 760T.

Plus these little numbers; third-party dust filters specifically for the 760T.

When I bought the Digital Storm Vanquish 3 in May of 2015, it absolutely blew me out of the water. I swore I'd be a repeat customer.

But since doing some lite upgrading (RAM, fans, adding a capture card), becoming more confident in my technical abilities, and watching some how-to videos from YouTube techies, I'm feeling the lure of building my own rig from scratch and truly making it my own.

Hello, you fine folks. I've come out of hiding to let you know the most magical day of the year has arrived once again. On this date, twenty-five years and a few dozen months ago, I first graced the world with my presence. Now, we all know most people are selfish bastards who only think about themselves on such occasions—and who can honestly blame them for being excited about a day when people give them free stuff for simply existing?—but if I want to rule the world one day, I need to suck up

Maybe I'll actually buckle down and get some writing done...

Maybe. Perhaps.

Need to write, but don't want to "write" right now. That and I need to practice actually writing and thinking about saying stuff. So after finally getting some frustration that's been building on my chest within the last week off exploded out, I want to move on. So as a minor exercise, I can still write something I'm passionate about though. Namely electronics and computer builds. If you don't like seeing someone's passionate ramblings about this, you can skip it. If you're still

Remember that time, back in 2015, when I decided to give other people gifts on my birthday? Good times, right? Right. Many games were given away, and I’m sure many hours of enjoyment were had by all who received them. If I’m wrong, don’t spoil my delusion. Just nod dumbly and keep reading.
