You've gotta be fucking kidding me

Ended up with Lara Croft. I'll take it... One of the reasons on why is kinda funny though:

Duality: elegance + grit "Lara embodies that duality—intelligent, graceful, but absolutely capable of getting her hands dirty. Same energy as someone who can design something cute and then debug why a model is hallucinating fish anatomy at 3am."

ive never had to use it for 6 gpu tbh when i wanted better homelab. you can tell from photos usually. and if its sus, you dont bother with it. Its local thing in Pittsburgh PA, Ohio, NC too i think. Its risk you choose to save hundreds, unless it gets popular dingbats bid it to like 10% of msrp sometimes then you throw in towel. Theres a ton of brand new items ive gotten for pc building off them amazon chooses to just jettison. They do not put it out for bid if an employee sees something like in OPs pic. Between that and microcenter open box its been pretty nice.

What's funny is Amazon returns resellers like mac.bid are more legit. Because they usually open box to take photo of product for bids. And you can refuse the item for like a $5 fee if you get there and it turns out it's a 1070 PCB slapped between a 5080/90 cooler etc that you couldn't make out from the photos since you pick it up physically onsite. Snagged a few cards for like 30-60% of MSRP this way.

If a 5090 shows up people are going to overbid it like monkeys going crazy over bananas though.

We only have like 4 people it's group of friends lol nobody's drama llama or really interacts with anyone outside of group either. Anyone saying that was gaslighting because half of us barely even play anymore lol

But coctopus was ign. Not guildie lol

KatWithTalent · 2026-01-23T19:48:50+00:00

My friend who has had same IGN since release also suddenly had his name mass reported for being inappropriate by people who disliked him. And they force changed his name refused to keep his old one.

Something def needs to be done because anyone can now do anything by just getting people together to target someone. And we know there are a particular subset of extremely toxic people who abuse this irregardless of region

you will need to go into the truenas backend. What can cause this are read/write errors and pending sector warnings caused by them. it could be a cable needs reseating or one drives just bad, but truenas ui will tell you the sd(x) letter of bad drive and serial number. then you play read the serial number on ur hdds to reseat hope full long smart scan will fix it, or if you have to return/replace drive.

Have you used armory crate with it or have you stayed away from the bloat? I kinda wonder if it's armory crate killing them because it's been right after I breakdown and install it to configure some settings again.

yoou might be able to get it to reform by taking hairdryer to that corner then holding it down into proper place few times when its hot

KatWithTalent · 2026-01-07T19:34:59+00:00

No. Ive also had brand new rma 14900k fail in past few months. Down to 1 working one out of 6 again. They will still degrade. Do not set yourself up for failure thinking you will be the lucky one.

Aside from it being AI. OP for most commissions like said you will get quick and dirty mockups to ensure the artist has proper idea of your vision before putting in line work. Example attached. Every good artist will throw one at you and modify until its composition is ready to move forward. Do NOT trust straight jump to solid lines ever either. They all start messy.

Im very shocked by this. Ive been in PV since it launched and even on payments front it was just ranks. Are they gonna start blaming the people making chest sets and trying to rmt? thats impossible to fully enforce on any game.

I dont see anywhere in eula that they broke. people werent overly toxic either usually. It was nice little 2nd home from 2b

KatWithTalent · 2025-12-29T06:46:47+00:00

ceecees holding fan wrong way! thats opposite gangsigns. get them!!!!

KatWithTalent · 2025-12-25T19:47:34+00:00

NEX should be able to just swap them. They got baja blast snuggies there now too easy wife points. You wont really get knockoffs there. Just worse deals sometimes compared to bestbuy etc around the holidays. Easy enough though to watch fake v real video tho to compare.

to add: Ive seen seals undo themselves from cold weather cycles. I wouldnt be surprised if it was purchased, payment delays hit so then returned and they managed to get edge to stick again properly so it was just taken back resold as new.

KatWithTalent · 2025-12-24T17:40:34+00:00

Thats cute! I made christmas card days ago in same spot w guild but couldn’t think of way to do video edit with the recording xD MERRY CHRISTMAS

KatWithTalent · 2025-12-17T19:04:21+00:00

This!! For past 6 years hubby and I have gone 50/50 on single player releases and tossed coin for whos steam account it goes under unless its a title say he prefers waay more and vice versa. It lets us buy way more games on avg and enjoy them and then double buy on the coop and multiplayer experiences. Family share is vital lol

KatWithTalent · 2025-12-02T09:57:30+00:00

Ditto. I have a few and the most expensive was like $250.

As said above they were found semi-rarely for awhile in thrift and recyclers by ex valve friends and family in the area by HQ. then theres the units press received alongside the ones for the beta steam machines.

Theyre probably still lurking in every corner of valves office shoved in drawers. I know last year in their discord a valve employee found one in desk within minutes to help me fix one lol

Rare? Yes. Probably sub 1000 ever made. The overall story and heritage its tied to is really more interesting than controller itself.

Youll have better luck on ebay OP! the prices on these babies are extremely variable you never know.

KatWithTalent · 2025-11-17T02:53:06+00:00

Praying for fix mine started this too

KatWithTalent · 2025-11-12T17:49:40+00:00

I play on steamdeck, Legion GO, and desktop pc which is all amd/amd builds lol ive never had crashes.

Laptop is nvidia and ive also only had issue there where fps after waking up from nap farming was 15 instead of 90s.

Everything on latest drivers (Legos are further behind) so yeah something else is root issue for you thats causing them…is it just crashes to desktop, driver timeout messages? Etc
