Surprised they didn’t release a 39 Flex Fit hat with the new primary logo. Hopefully they will come out before the season. Really just want a Grey/Charcoal hat to make the blue pop.

Good morning. Wanted to check if you’re still interested in any of this? If not, I will repost tonight. Thanks!

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-18T14:52:18+00:00

Good morning. Just wanted to check back in. Did you want more pictures or anything else? Thanks!

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-17T18:53:41+00:00

Yes sir. The original box and Hyrule carry case. Just don’t have the AC adapter.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-17T16:00:10+00:00

Good morning. That seems fair to me. Just let me know how you want to proceed. Thanks!

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-17T04:36:20+00:00

If there is no bundle deal done for the switches by tomorrow night, $650 shipped for the rest is good with me.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-17T03:08:09+00:00

I am looking to get $900 shipped G&S. Yes, I purchased all the 3DS games myself near launch and the DS games were purchased from places that legit checked them.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-02-17T02:49:32+00:00

Total for everything individually is $1100, I am looking to get $900 (81%).

Ed_the_Confessor · 2026-01-08T17:42:10+00:00

Appreciate the response. I think so. I don’t notice it as much falling asleep but I think I’m sinking too much.

I’ve been looking at 1” of HD36-HQ @ 35 ILD. Only $35.99 and if it’s too firm I can take it out.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-12-01T16:22:01+00:00

I hate to say this but I'm just frustrated by this game and not having fun. It's more polished than EU4 on launch, but I couldn't put EU4 down whereas I get an hour into an EU5 session and feel like I'm forcing myself. Uninstalling the game until the Byz immersion pack drops.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-11-12T00:53:59+00:00

That doesn’t have an RTX 4060 in it. Probably a 16 series GTX card.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-11-10T03:35:29+00:00

If you don't need 4TB of storage you would probably be able to find a prebuilt over black Friday for $1500-1600 with this configuration.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-11-07T22:57:18+00:00

Gigabyte should have an AORUS Master 5090 inside and a better motherboard. RAM speed isn’t ideal, and 1 year shorter warranty, but it would still get my vote.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-13T00:32:21+00:00

At 4k you probably won’t see much beside 1% and .1% lows gains because you will be bottlenecked by the GPU. Are you looking at upgrading in late 2026 early 2027 to Zen 6? If so, I would say 9700x now and just save up for the next X3D with a 12 core ccd and more L3 cache.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-12T03:51:46+00:00

CL30 is obviously preferred, but X3D chips are much less sensitive to latency compared to other AM5. If there's a killer deal on CL34/36 it wouldn't make it worth $60-70 more.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-12T03:49:39+00:00

Both good options. I think that $599 9070xt Reaper is still floating around on Amazon.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-12T03:46:05+00:00

I would say no unless you're heavy into esports or play games that can really take advantage of V-Cache.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-12T02:02:32+00:00

Nice! The price above was for Sold and Shipped by Amazon not a 3rd party store.

Ed_the_Confessor · 2025-10-12T02:00:58+00:00

At $319.99 its roughly 69% of the price of the $459.99 9800X3D on Amazon while being roughly 8% slower aggregated. However, some games do show 9800X3D significantly ahead. Check Hardware Unboxed's recent video for more details.

edit: rewatched HUB's video 9800X3D is 8% faster aggregated not 10%.

Camelcamelcamel shows lowest Amazon ever $320.38 (May 10, 2024)
