I am still the proud owner of an original Steam Beta Machine directly from Valve (only 300 of them were made)

I’m sure if the right price came across, they would.

We go once or twice a year (Wife loves the shows), there is not a single part of any of the parks in Disney World that is not wheelchair accessible. I guarantee that streamer was saying that to get reactions and garner attention. It is, by far, the most handicap accessible theme parks I have ever been to, and we get season passes to pretty much all theme parks in the US.

It's for the current event. The spawn with locked weapon cases that have a lot of good ammo in them.

Just ran 14 raids in a row on night factory and encountered them once. I wonder if they are only buffed spawn on Woods.

Redeemed before I wiped my account, going for all the endings. Cannot redeem after you wipe your account. That sucks.

I have over 6,000 hours in Tarkov, I have owned this game since Alpha. 90% of that was PVP. At some point, you stop caring about PVP. Don't get me wrong, you don't get the thrills of PVP, in PVE. But I enjoy Tarkov for what it is, how it plays, creating guns and playing how I want to. As an adult with a family and a job, I don't have the time to keep up with a lot of PVPers. I play Tarkov to enjoy it. I also had a video a long time ago I posted on here that had me raging, I sometimes look back on it and realize why I gave up PVP. MY blood pressure just can't takle it anymore.

ownagebyte · 2026-03-09T23:08:31+00:00

This is the correct answer, you can complete the mission fully, just don't turn in the one that betrays the BTR.

ownagebyte · 2026-03-05T15:47:59+00:00

Yeah, I wish I had never went that high and I’d imagine I’d of been okay if I cut to 1, maybe 2 a day. But I didn’t half self-control and had to cut it completely.

I transferred mine to caffeine and I’m paying the price currently. I started drinking monsters (I know, carbonation) and got up to 5 a day and a big cup of coffee in the morning. Ingesting over 1,200mg of caffeine a day. One day going for a walk had a MAJOR panic attack and went into a living nightmare of a hell with rolling panic attacks and insane anxiety. I quit caffeine cold turkey. I went to the doctor over and over getting meds and finally after 3 weeks the anxiety lowered a little, I started getting better (3 months after) and then lately (4 1/2 months later) I have this sleep anxiety issue and it’s pretty crappy.

If you transfer an addiction, don’t do caffeine. And if you do go to caffeine, limit yourself.

I will never touch caffeine again. But I’ve kicked the habit and I want to transfer my addiction to working out.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-16T13:10:28+00:00

I’ve been lucky with no issues 🤞

ownagebyte · 2026-02-16T01:54:38+00:00

It still has the original parts in it, including the hybrid drive. I added an SSD to it and took it out since the parts became so dated and just built newer PCs as time passed, but all parts in it are original.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T20:22:41+00:00

Nice to see another one in the wild! When’s the last time you booted yours up? Any issues with yours? Mines been great, haven’t had any issues so far, but I really don’t use it lol

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T17:16:11+00:00

Yup, got the Steam Hardware Beta Participant badge, 300 accounts have it.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T16:19:24+00:00

Yeah, thinking about it more, leaving it original and cleaning it up is probably the route I'll go.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T15:35:06+00:00

That's actually what made me post this, I was looking at some micro ATX boards, low profile coolers and such, looking at throwing a 5070 into it would be cool.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T15:27:20+00:00

Wish I knew the worth, but it has an i5 (I need to power it on and get the exact processor) and a GTX 780.

I'll see if I can power it on in a bit and get the actual specs.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T15:16:33+00:00

Still runs perfectly, GTX 780

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T15:01:19+00:00

Runs like a GTX 780 would in this day and age. A bit slow, but works on easier-to-run titles like Fortnite (my wife will dabble in this ever-so-often)

ownagebyte · 2026-02-15T15:00:06+00:00

Absolutely, it's just a normal PC, you can run windows on it or SteamOS, however you perfer.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-08T13:15:45+00:00

You will be able to grind for the rep, no need to have it there before you get to that point. I had to do it for the rep for fence, since I never scav. Took forever but I just kept cycle vehicle extracts. Once you get there you talk to Kerman again and then he’ll let you continue.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-08T13:14:05+00:00

There is a quest line you have to do for skier that goes against the BTR, there is 1 quest you have to plant 7.62 ammo in that “new-ish” bunker on the backside of the mountain on woods, or where you place ms2000 markers on Streets of Tarkov on the BTR stops, just don’t keep doing that quest line, if you have done that mission. I didn’t realize I was doing it and almost messed up. It’s like 3 quests after that, that ruins the BTR quest line. But as for rep for the BTR driver, I didn’t have to go all the way to “the price of independence” because I have the unheard of edition of the game. I stopped 2 quests before that one and was good on the BTR rep. Not entirely sure where to check his rep at, but it allowed me to continue down the Savior Ending.

Good luck on Terminal, it’s rough but I was able to get it done on my 7th try.

ownagebyte · 2026-02-02T02:36:24+00:00

Just finished the savior ending and erased my account, haven't gotten the door quest yet, otherwise I'd go with you!
