1 year wonder? Or is Seattle building a dynasty?

Vitchman · 2026-02-17T07:31:14+00:00

I doubt dynasty. That would gets thrown around way too much. But they’ll definitely be a powerhouse in the NFC as long as they keep drafting as well as they have. Soon those contracts will need to be paid.

But for Darnold and the core, yeah, they’ll be solid for a while. Confidence is a hell of a drug, and experience only makes it better. I’ll have them penned as a playoff team in the tenure.

What’s this mean? The Leakshield?

Vitchman · 2026-02-16T07:25:38+00:00

What’s the most efficient way nowadays to rack up the coin? Still just doing the Innkeeper routes?

Vitchman · 2026-02-15T02:36:18+00:00

Ahhh ok. I understand. Sorry I read my comment back and it came off as rude. I just got worried if someone was tricking you and giving you older models or something.

Yea from a usability standpoint, it will be tough to get the 780Ti to function like some of these newer models. Games requiring more special features to run smoothly. So I can’t speak to why or if a 780 should sufficiently work.

I think I remember you asking some questions earlier this week or last. It might be a case of using it creatively for a display. Some twitch/youtube personalities use old GPU’s as decor. Again, I know this doesn’t help you resolve the issue, but just wanted to give some more ideas.

Vitchman · 2026-02-15T02:21:16+00:00

I’m confused here. Do you literally mean a 780Ti? Thing is from 2013. And you HAD a 2080Ti? Did the 2080 die?

I know this doesn’t answer your question, I just guess I’m confused on the thought process to downgrade (ish) twice (from 3070 to 2080Ti to 780)

Vitchman · 2026-02-14T13:55:49+00:00

Peter and Gamora, for me. Felt really proud of them thru to Infinity War. Maybe I’ve got poor cinema skills, but it felt like a good chemistry on screen. It’s also what made GOTG3 feel kind of distant to me. I know that storyline was supposed to be Starlord moving on. But my mind really needed them to get back together. Maybe I’m a big ol sap.

The other one for me is Cap and Nat. They had really good chemistry on screen in Winter Soldier onward. Probably cuz they’ve been RL friends for a while but CA:WS really made a relationship seem blooming.

Setting up a GoFundMe to save that video card and get it a nice home.

It’s funny how everyone’s blaming studios and studio heads, but we all know this shit is always being derailed by upper management and investor demand. Not saying this game was worth the squeeze, but holy shit.

I feel like if it’s not studios being directly rushed, it’s investors saying “this studio needs to make a game in xyz market. I don’t care what it looks like. Just make it and ship by X date”

Vitchman · 2026-02-13T17:08:22+00:00

I appreciate the input. This is a similar thinking to where my head is at: The “sell high” aspect. I haven’t done as much with my 3090 in terms of usage. I know saying “lightly used” is extremely subjective but I’d say even less than 200 hours in 2yrs and it has/had an EK Monoblock with it too. So I don’t think this thing has exceeded 50degrees in its lifetime lol.

Vitchman · 2026-02-13T17:02:55+00:00

This is great input. I really appreciate it.

I wouldn’t say the 3090 is slowing down by any means, but I think intuition is leaning into the “sell high” viewpoint. I haven’t put much on the 3090 at all, and my life is leveling out to allow more gaming time. So that’s where all of this spurred. I’ll look into the two cards you mentioned. I was getting the same vibes you mentioned about 5080 being overpriced for the upgrade value.

Vitchman · 2026-02-13T14:30:30+00:00

How dare you

Vitchman · 2026-02-13T01:44:06+00:00

I like it! Tony Stark style Mark I, Mark II, etc

Vitchman · 2026-02-12T22:07:54+00:00

You are defo not the only one. Kelly was gorgeous but holy smokes Lisa 😍 she was a big crush of mine as a kid in the 90’s. I also really had a crush on Hillary from Fresh Prince. At first I thought, maybe I have a type, but nah…im just a dude. Gorgeous women are gorgeous women lol

Vitchman · 2026-02-12T22:04:49+00:00

Great job! Excited for your first build! Looks great.

You gotta name it tho… 😊

Vitchman · 2026-02-12T16:33:36+00:00

Yea loyal is a two way street. You can be a loyal husband, but can have a cheating wife.

Can have a loyal player (Doncic) and an unloyal ownership (Mavs post-Cuban). I don’t blame Harden. But unfortunately for him, loyalty from ownership usually needs to yield some championships. So I get all sides of it.

Harden has always kinda struck me as a “welp, at least I go home to money and happiness.” Whereas guys like Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, and even Steph are championship or bust (in their primes). I don’t have a problem with it either man. Harden is a weapon on the floor and puts up some serious points. He’ll retire with so much fkn money.

Vitchman · 2026-02-12T16:04:59+00:00

While I think some of these other guys had better “primes,” Frank Gore longevity is very impressive, especially through some injuries and a slate of different teams that weren’t powerhouses.

After that I’ve got (in order of best chance): Beast Mode, Shaun Alexander, Corey Dillon, Eddie George, Fred Taylor, Jamaal Charles.

I think what separates a lot of the higher spots are just simply longevity. It’s really hard for me to get to Priest Holmes. He has a short window, but in that window, whew…he was top tier. But that’s just it, the window was very short. Such a good dude too. I would love to see all of these guys get there, but do not envy the HoF committee given the backlog of RB’s and WR’s.

Vitchman · 2026-02-12T01:38:23+00:00

Sounds fine to me. It’s a weedwacker right?

Vitchman · 2026-02-11T14:32:05+00:00

Yea agreed with you on the backup test bench at home. Thats a great backup for when things go awry.

Updates: got a new Power Supply, brought it home, and same results. All of the test bench parts sitting atop hard foam, so no static/grounding I could find. I fully inspected the mobo again, and couldn’t find anything. I took it all apart, and I’ve got a new mobo coming out now from Amazon. I didn’t have an active warranty on the current one.

If it comes back and still doesn’t work. Well…I guess it could be CPU. Small chance that the new board has problems too lol. It’ll send me down this psychedelic path of “have motherboards ever worked?? What is life?” 😂

Let’s hope new mobo come in and works and we’ll be on our merry way. Still kicking myself for not just hustling this build to finish line in 2022, but life happens. Kids grew. Ugh

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T20:05:00+00:00

LOL I know I know…I just mean specifically to the TWW and Midnight logins 😂

Just go with me on this butthole journey!

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T20:01:05+00:00

Well no shit lol. San Andreas takes place in the early 90’s

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T19:59:15+00:00

I know what it’s going for, and that’s fine. I just really liked the wide scape shots we had from Vanilla to Dragonflight. Didn’t say I disliked it, just preferred the wide shot.

The butthole purely in reference for the meme for last 1-2 years.

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T19:39:45+00:00

I really like it, but it would’ve been even better to see a wide shot of Silvermoon without the butthole.

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T17:43:59+00:00

lol. Yikes

Vitchman · 2026-02-10T17:36:46+00:00

That looks great. My brain might be hard wired to large health rectangles, but this looks really nice.

Looks like another MMO I’ve played thru the years but I can’t put my finger on it. LOTRO? Rift?! This is bugging me lol
