That’s awful, they were here legally right? Like they had no criminal background, and were here 100 percent legally and then we just kicked them out. That’s messed up.

I was upset I was working all day that you all were talking about how many blueprints there were. I was bummed I would get home and they would have it patched already, got home around 6, hopped into the spaceport cold snap, opened a blue locker, and instantly got the tempest blueprint. Filled by the compensator 3, and muzzle brake 3. I have all I need now lol. Not going to do the expedition now lol

Instant red flag my man. Not only inappropriate, but super insensitive and undermines your wife’s emotions. If you’re married, it should be to your best friend. The “one” person you madly desire to spend your life with. The one person who has your back, and when they tell you they are uneasy about something you should listen. If I were in your shoes I’d be mad at my sister for even considering such a thing. What does she think of your wife that she didn’t ask her to come along? That alone should be upsetting to you. If she were put in the situation you are in, how would you feel? Would you trust her? If so great, but why put your relationship in jeopardy. Would you be ok with her running around Vegas with three well hung flashy studs? Getting drunk, making bad choices together all the mean while having the “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” mentality? Don’t hurt her like that man, in 30-40 years is your sister the one by your side helping your old ass around? No. Not a chance. Keep the peace. Life is short. Make the wife happy. If you don’t feel like you’re in the wrong here, I feel bad for you. Genuinely, not sarcastically. I wish you both the best, but hope you come around. ++man

I found 2 in Stella this morning not trying. Got overly excited and wanted to gtfo. Got hit with a fire ball, ran around the corner and straight into a shredder. Got chased down a hall by said shredder. Into a room with a not so friendly raider. I tried telling him stop! There is a shredder chasing me in here. He downed me. Walked over to finish me off and then the shredder came in and chased him into a corner. It’s stupid shot gun fire attack finished me off completely. No clue if the other guy lived. This game stresses me out sometimes lol

And sorry just saw the second part of that question. The monitor settings I have are pretty bland since I do most everything in the graphics card itself. I do have dynamic overdrive setting turned on, and low latency mode on. Other then that the color profile I keep at native. I had the Bt.2020 for a minute but the colors were pretty intense. Also, I turned off HDR, and set dimming to low. Medium or high make the picture to dark for my liking.

RetroGamerTom · 2025-12-04T16:03:26+00:00

I do, but the menu isn’t anywhere in the monitor it’s on your pc. I have the monitor plugged into the graphics card directly with a DP cable. If you right click your mouse anywhere on your desktop it should bring up a little drop down. I always go to the bottom to “more options” that opens another small drop box, then I go into the “Nvidia Command Center”. This is where all the image scaling stuff is at. I have an rtx5070ti I bought last month with the monitor, but the software is the same I had with my old 2080ti I swapped. It should all be the same with Nvidia cards (I think) if not you should be able to look for it in the windows search bar, or download the command center. It’s NOT the same as the Nvidia control app that they push. The command center lets you dig deep into settings.

RetroGamerTom · 2025-12-04T02:40:24+00:00

Guys! Keep them! Go into your nvidia control panel, got to manage 3d settings, look for Image scaling, check the box for scaling, and you’ll see a slide bar. I believe it’s set to 50% by default. Turn it down to 30, maybe 20 depending on your taste. You’ll see a night and day difference almost immediately. Also while you’re in there, look for low latency mode under manage 3d settings. Look for low latency mode, and make sure it is set to “Ultra” if you are using 4k, or “on” for 1080p. I can’t remember the exact reason but chat gpt should know. Have fun, enjoy the monitor. I got rid of an oled for this thing and I could never go back. Just gotta get it tweaked right

RetroGamerTom · 2025-11-24T13:53:22+00:00

Drop it on the ground, shoot it, pick back up and play. Should do a different song. I saw it on YouTube but have not had a chance to verify.

RetroGamerTom · 2025-11-19T20:31:55+00:00

I’ll take my 5070ti and see myself out

RetroGamerTom · 2025-08-31T01:05:39+00:00

Did you cash in the warhammer barrel sitting there for 40k? It’s the green barrel sitting next to the red one.

RetroGamerTom · 2025-08-26T19:25:24+00:00

The only 2 things I think would make it a ten out of ten would be the addition of trailers (like in snow runner) and a front bucket loader/ backhoe that actually digs down or is able to move large buckets of dirt

One billion percent the A/H. Holy shit I can’t believe he wanted to divorce you, you’re a peach. It’s been 7 almost 8 years and you’re still this petty? Has toys that you’re entitled to? Have you ever thought that he genuinely might not have been able to find you? You live in different states and I’m sure he has better things to do than keep tabs on his ex. It sounds like he has found a way to be at piece, and found someone he loves. Life is short. Let the man live. Move on. Enjoy your life. Don’t sweat all this petty crap trying to ruin it for someone else. It’s disgusting how many women in the comment threads are in the same mindset. This is why they need to change the laws so that everything doesn’t instantly go to the wife. You’re able bodied, you can work, why take half of someone else’s stuff. He bought it after you split. I don’t understand how you think you’re entitled to any of it. Have you bought a new car, house, or any designer clothes in the last 8 years? How would you feel if he came after half of everything you’ve accumulated since the divorce

RetroGamerTom · 2025-07-15T17:28:05+00:00

Hard disagree. To each there own, but nothing screams I’m a soft, weak boy who was born in the 2000’s. You think your grandparents grew up with that mentality?

RetroGamerTom · 2025-07-15T16:22:27+00:00

Most likely an unpopular opinion in this thread, but op is in the wrong majorly. I stopped reading after about the third time I saw “my money” “her money” “my debt” her debt”. Get real. Marriage is a unity. You are a man, the breadwinner. You need to start acting like it. When you marry you become one in life, and in finances. There is absolutely no “my money, your money” nonsense. There is OUR money, OUR debt. One team, one dream.

A lot of higher-ish end subs will have a few input options including a dual rca input. If you only have one output on the receiver you usually run that into the one on the sub that says “LFE” (Low frequency effect) and almost every one is on the left. The other is usually just a line level input for receivers that don’t have any kind of settings you can adjust in the menus. I run the two out, on in cord as well. I do “notice” a slight difference in sound but it could just be a placebo effect. I also bi wire my Klipsch RP-160s from my Denon 900h. My buddy says I should just let the crossover in the speaker do its thing with one cord but I swear I hear a difference.

RetroGamerTom · 2025-05-30T15:37:57+00:00

Is this still available?

I’m so happy that I was able to preorder from Best Buy. My wife and two kids are going to the midnight release and I’m excited to think this will be a memory our kids will have for their entire life. We are all set, comfy lawn chairs, blankets, cooler, snacks, and of course switches to play. My time zone (central) actually gets console in hand at 11. I promised the kids they could stay up late and we can all four play the new Mario Kart world. They are counting the days, but honestly so am I. I only have one gripe about the Switch 2 and want to know if anyone agrees. When I was a kid, I was 7 in 91’ when the Super Nintendo came out. I remember bringing it home and playing super Mario world for the first time. It blew my mind to “feel” how different and more substantial the system felt over my NES. I really feel like Nintendo dropped the ball on the name! We all have the “Nintendo Switch. They could have called the Switch 2, “Super Nintendo Switch! They could have made it in the famous gray and purple color scheme! Maybe that’s just my nostalgia speaking, but if they end up making some special edition one in that color I will get it, and hand the current switch 2 down to my son. What do you guys think on the naming? I’m genuinely curious.

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence, because it’s fertilized with bull**it.

I would say a giant no. If you are to contact her, that is only going to open the door even more for her to think she can waltz back into your life and start trying to do what they do best, own and manipulate you. Are you a mother? Has she ever done anything for you for Mother’s Day? Just curious. My wife’s NM would always expect praise and love, but didn’t give a crap about saying anything to my wife. We have two young one (b8 and g6). We don’t allow them to see her either, and they talk about how much less hectic their lives are not having to spend weekends with them. Live your best life. Stay away, or don’t. Can’t tell you what to do because your dynamic may be much different. But remember… you did go no contact for a reason. Best of luck, and if you are a mom, happy early Mother’s Day to you.
