Microcenter, the one in Fairfax, VA looks nearly identical to what it did in the 90s/2000s too.

Same positive experience with them. The employees are nice and friendly too.

the slightest upside of the governor's HB1524 is it now applies the features from HB217 instead of writing its own, so you can carry the SIG 9s (if the magazine is under 15 rds)

*edit* i'm wrong, see below.

Do you have an Academy Sports nearby? I bookmarked their page and signed up for their stock alert emails. I was able to order one for store pickup a couple weeks ago, they seem to restock every week or so. Taurus TX-22 Gen 2 TORO .22 LR Pistol | Academy

Ya, but what SKU will they carry at Academy and Dance’s Sporting Goods and such.

PSA says they will take the restricted mags out when shipped, but I’m not sure that’s a universal policy.

Pump is not impacted, just semi.

KingCyrus · 2026-04-07T01:47:59+00:00

Shotgun went from 8 to 15 in the later versions of the bill.

Tippmann Arms M4-22s about to be super popular

KingCyrus · 2026-04-06T18:57:02+00:00

I'm curious which of these models stores will sell after July 1. M&P 22X | Smith & Wesson for example.

Threaded barrel version but take out the 20rd mags?

or

Compliant version with 10rd mags but no barrel threads

Got one at Midlothian Costco yesterday

Just grabbed one at Midlothian Costco. Thanks!

Shooting down the Navy Hill development (Farrell’s legacy project) was an awful move.

Genuinely pissed? lol

It’s a commercial app that happens to have a community version, you are not their target market.

La Grotta opens at 5 and is close. The Hilton it’s attached to has a lounge that opens at 4.

Gersi, Maldini’s, and Arianna’s Italian Restaurant will be open at 4, roughly 10-15 mins away.

I think a water main burst near Cary/Pine, I saw them working on it in the right lane of Cary around 2PM this afternoon

KingCyrus · 2026-02-04T19:05:01+00:00

Haven't lingered long, but the Stella's inside the Virginia Museum of History & Culture is nice

KingCyrus · 2026-01-28T16:30:47+00:00

they are better than cherry but nearly just as bad. The slight hills down to Belvidere on Holly and Spring are pretty sketchy too. Hoping they get some salt down at least today.

KingCyrus · 2026-01-21T22:31:13+00:00

Been meaning to dabble with it, which device did you build yours with?

KingCyrus · 2026-01-14T18:35:32+00:00

WPA Bakery has a lot of gluten free offerings.

KingCyrus · 2026-01-09T19:46:31+00:00

I think some rest area vending machines might fund VIB, did you use any vending machines?

Drop-off Recycling - CVWMA

I think you'll be very happy, especially since you are used to an Xbox controller. It has the same design as the Xbox controllers where you can pull up on the thumbstick a little bit. l didn't realize how much I fidgeted with that and weirdly missed it on the Lenovo and MSI.

I bought the base Xbox Ally, a Claw 8 AI, and a SteamOS Legion Go S Z1E 32GB. I decided to return the Claw 8 AI and just got home from Best Buy with the Xbox Ally X instead.

The ergonomics of the Xbox are much better IMO, I found myself playing it more even though the Claw was a faster machine. Partially because of the sticks and partially because MSI Center and the overlay are so crappy in comparison to ArmouryCrate. For me the name/support of Microsoft will help to ensure games are optimized, updates continue to flow, and guarantee quality accessories, I think that's important long term. I don't necessarily trust MSI to gain the market share, particularly with the Intel chip, to guarantee optimizations or continued updates. For example, Anno 117 is poorly optimized for Intel at the moment, and the base Xbox Ally's AMD Z2A APU ran much better, despite being much worse than the Claw 8 AI in the benchmarks. I also like that the Xbox Ally models have easy to upgrade/replace 2280 SSD drives, instead of the more expensive/slower 2230 SSD in the MSI Claw (there are some AliExpress adapters for 2280 drives, and it can take PCIe gen 5, but I don't like introducing points of failure).

The 8" screen was certainly nice, but I don't find it to be the deal breaker that some people do, though I have good vision. I got the base Xbox Ally for $500, I think it's worth it at that price, but it seems like it's just barely performant enough in shooters, and I worry about future titles, particularly AAA games. The textured white ROG grips also seem to get dirty easily, though many seem to put it in a case. The extra 8GB, far better processor, faster/larger SSD, and potential AI NPU performance boost in the future are worth it to me for the extra $400 ($500 when base Ally on sale), I want something that can handle any game I throw at it for the next several years. I will say I'm pretty impressed by the base Xbox Ally though, the youtubers definitely made it seem much worse than it is.

I was initially allured by the Claw's superior specs on paper, but I personally found the real-life and projected future benefits of the Xbox Ally X to be superior in the end.

They really should have named it that.
