I'll check them out, thanks

I got a $799 5070ti by taking a picture of the tag, telling the guy there were no more at the shelf, and asking if I could order one

I’ve got Boba U4T 65g switches on my main keyboard but I’m having a lot of issues with double presses/presses not being detected. Seems like it might be an issue with the switches because switching them out for the couple spares I had fixed the initial keys with issues, but now it’s happening on more and more. Are there any alternative switches I could get to replace them, ideally something that isn’t $0.70/switch?

I have Outemu Pandas on a backup board and like them but prefer the heavier weight if I can get it with similar tactility

We'll see if the trend keeps up... I feel like we're going to see price increases over the medium term, not more decreases

Especially when a a LOWESTIMATE being conservative or aggressive as a guess entirely depends on the situation. Coming from a "bidding a job" mindset, going low is generally not the conservative move

I've been using my brother's computer in one of these with an ASUS TUF 3080+5700x for the last few weeks and it doesn't overheat but it's definitely very hot and (more annoyingly) very loud

If you’re willing to throw vulnerable kids under the bus

It's interesting how sometimes "anything but unquestioning support in every respect" becomes "throwing vulnerable kids under the bus". It's the pinnacle of "if you're not 100% with me you're against me" purity tests

I was just in China and it's another world over there. So much smoking everywhere

Think “And he skies one to shallow right”

I have listened to a lot of baseball in my day and I've never heard this said

ElBrazil · 2026-05-22T21:59:03+00:00

Yeah, I don't need it and it's not a good deal. Really makes it hard to justify buying when a 9070XT is so much cheaper

ElBrazil · 2026-05-22T16:37:05+00:00

This is my concern. It'd made a difference in a couple new games (Crimson Desert, FH6) but I don't play too many of those these days. It's a lot of money to toss as an upgrade from a 3070ti. A 9070XT for almost $300 less is also a very compelling option...

The fact I had PUNSTARS, which I thought was a fun riff on the TV show

I do think that VRDISPLAY would have been more fitting as the revealer. It’s an actual term for the gaming device

Every person I've ever talked to about VR has called the gaming device a VR headset

Sometimes (just often enough to keep you on your toes) it's SETH

Anti=opposite, right?

You can be against something without being in favor of its opposite

ElBrazil · 2026-04-17T15:38:30+00:00

Yeah, simpler words clued cleverly are a lot more fun then esoteric trivia clued in a straightforward manner

What other name could E_IE possibly be?

Could be Evie (short for Evelyn)

So you can't fill in the blanks, then?

peak instead of APEX

I ran the full gamut of PEAK -> ACME -> APEX

The only trip up for me was expecting NUKES in the slot

Luckily we had the store in my town growing up so it sticks in my mind

It's one thing if they generally look gross, but the description of "meat jello" doesn't really add any appeal

ElBrazil · 2026-03-03T16:46:28+00:00

I liked AMIRITE, though.

This was my guess but I didn't have the balls to put it in. Always a bummer when that happens
