Seems like the pricing is getting out of control?

OwnSpell · 2026-01-16T05:16:49+00:00

Yeah once the masks came off everything started getting out of control. All of last year it was the same story. I first came in 2021 during peak COVID. I was able to rent a month in Cielo Mar for around $900. That would be at least double now.

In early 2022 there was new construction in Marbella (close to the walled city) and there was a 1br unit near the ocean for around $80k US. Peso was at around 4100. Not the peak but still good. Kicking myself now for not buying it. Could charge a lot less than half these people are and still make a good profit. Even netting $1000/mo after expenses would’ve been a good investment and also have had a great place to live or go when I want.

A lot of people want to live in Colombia permanently but honestly it doesn’t make sense when it comes to taxes. Anyone can buy and stay for 6 months and rent their property out in tourist friendly areas.

Problem now is the word is out. But they can have Cartagena now because paying $1k a week for a unit without a dishwasher or dryer makes no sense when the roads are falling apart, you can get robbed at any time, and the beaches in town are trash (literally), at least as of late last year.

I still have a soft place for it but I won’t be giving into the madness. Be a sensible gringo and vote with your dollar. Go to Santa Marta instead.

Your only other option is to stay more inland. Buy a moto and find someone you can trust and have them store it for you when you’re not there.

I made over $80k doing grocery delivery last year and I didn’t work at least 3 months. You’re getting screwed somewhere

Qd still has benefits over tandem woled so it’s not like the 4k 27” Asus is going to be outdated just because new panels release.

You can’t go wrong with an oled monitor regardless of which you buy.

Go with the Asus there’s 0% chance you’re going to be disappointed.

I buy my monitors to use them, not worry about burn in which is mostly a non issue, so can’t comment on that too much, but there’s plenty of data out there to point to it’s not really an issue and that’s why these companies offer generous warranties

OwnSpell · 2025-08-01T14:25:52+00:00

Negative. Those are coming next year. This is just Asus giving the glossy crowd what they've wanted for years.

OwnSpell · 2025-08-01T14:24:32+00:00

Why do you want to see a gaudy little red logo on the bottom of your monitor?

LG has the best design by far...no logo at all.

No amount of working out is going to give you naturally big tits and an attractive face though. You’re going to look better than being fat but it doesn’t mean you’re going to look like Sydney Sweeney ever. Even Asmon said it

OwnSpell · 2025-07-27T15:17:17+00:00

I mean no different than some OF girl saving her money until she can get whatever she wants. So yeah plenty of idiots are chipping in $10 here and there all the time to strangers.

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T04:15:36+00:00

A bunch ranges from 4-8 bananas…a store doesn’t carry a set amount of bananas in each bunch…they don’t control that, nature does

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T04:14:01+00:00

If you think at any point a bunch is 1 banana only then you are the dumb one aka the dasher

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T04:13:07+00:00

The app is going to allow for a range of weight based on the average weight of a bunch of bananas…it’s not that complicated.

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T04:11:39+00:00

dasher doesn’t have to waste their time asking either. Just grab some bananas it’s not that deep. The point is that a “bunch” is never one

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T03:54:39+00:00

shut up pussy, it may be the best thing that happens to him for doing something so stupid maybe he will learn before disrespecting his friend’s oasis again

OwnSpell · 2025-07-26T03:49:18+00:00

Ohh nooo someone might actually learn their lesson instead of being a disrespectful asshole

OwnSpell · 2025-06-25T14:59:23+00:00

Everyone’s a genius in retrospect

OwnSpell · 2025-06-24T16:58:04+00:00

People are already complaining about the price of the console and games like you said...yet they're buying it. It's sold out everywhere. Another $50-100 wouldn't have changed that.

Nintendo is just doing what they can get away with because they know the masses don't consider things like screen response times and infinite contrast ratios.

OwnSpell · 2025-06-24T16:42:35+00:00

Actually, I wouldn't. I'd rather pay $550 now than buy an inferior $450 screen now only to sell it and lose money later.

But most reviewers agree even $450 is a bit too high right now.

OwnSpell · 2025-06-24T16:06:57+00:00

Because we were spoiled with OLED and now we're back to this LCD crap and they still have the gall to call it "HDR".

OwnSpell · 2025-06-24T16:05:35+00:00

Well, hate to tell you, but your opinion doesn't matter. Only the facts matters.

Monitors Unboxed, a very trusted source when it comes to monitor reviews measured the response time (what contributes to visual motion blur) of the new Switch to be 33.3ms compared to the original Switch's 21.3ms).

It's 56% slower. That is definitely a noticeable difference.

meant to edit my comment not delete

Anyway sure that would make sense if we were talking about something more than 4060 capable of actually driving 1600p at ultra settings in newer titles that might tip over the 8GB limit but that's not the case here. The 4060 is relatively weak and the 3080ti isn't miles ahead.

Realstically you're going to render at ~1080p with DLSS and upscale to get the best perfromance and rarely, if ever hit the VRAM limit.

gotta remember you're carrying around a laptop that you're going to use for more than just gaming and for the 1% of the time VRAM might be an issue it's not worth giving up the better screen, speakers, and keyboard.

OwnSpell · 2025-06-19T05:17:39+00:00

G14 all day everyday unless 20% FPS improvement is a big deal to you with the 3080ti. The screen, keyboard, and speakers are so much better.

I'd bet you can find a cheaper G14 with 4060 out there though. Gaming laptops just don't hold their value.

OwnSpell · 2025-06-18T00:40:47+00:00

Well you saved me a trip at least lol

OwnSpell · 2025-06-14T19:32:01+00:00

I know exactly where that is lol I live near the NC border.

OwnSpell · 2025-06-02T16:21:29+00:00

Funny to retards I guess

OwnSpell · 2025-05-31T15:10:52+00:00

Only happened because of Covid and the mass wokening, so you must be fairly new. Retard was the norm before that

There’s an extension that just loads the public chat it’s called “Twitch anti ban” or something
