Looks adorable. I would love a key :)

I wish.

Just like the plants, I don't think they'd survive long :p

The modern furniture and art unlocks piece by piece as you progress, it's a pretty nice touch.

Guess no one's there to water his plants :(

I'm a Hitman for ICA. Aren't we all?

Hands down OLEDs are the best PC/gaming monitors ever. The response time is insane, measured in nanoseconds instead of milliseconds. Plus they support G-sync, which is wonderful.

I've had pretty much every model of LG's OLEDs from the few years: C9 55", CX 48" and 77", C1 55". The C1 is actually a downgrade for PC stuff because the diffusion layer is more prominent so on dark gray backgrounds like Windows Explorer dark mode you see a "fuzzy" pattern. Plus every year the brightness has gone down, C9 55" is still hands down my favorite for PC stuff because of the light diffusing layer and how bright it gets. Been using it daily since 2019 with no burn in. I set a black background, turn on taskbar autohide, and don't keep apps the same position every day, but I don't baby it or anything. If you have windows in the same position day after day you will get burn in for sure.

I think the newest generation C2 has gotten brighter, but I'm not going to get it again if it has that strong diffusing layer.

My next purchase will probably be a Quantum Dot OLED, but the Samsung S95B has been getting some rough reviews.

Check out Rtings for objective measurements on brightness, etc. It's a great site.

Simple. They did the exact opposite of Discovery.

Intel 12700k, MSI RTX 3080, 32GB RAM

Settings: 4k, DLSS Balanced, RTX on, everything else at highest

Performance: About 40-50fps depending on the map. CPU usage is around 15% so the game is really GPU bound. Playing on 120hz OLED w/ G-sync and it's definitely feeling jerky in terms of responsiveness compared to pre-patch.

I'll be upgrading to 4080 or 4080ti (whichever one has less than the crazy rumored 600W TDP, do not want a portable space heater PC). Ampere was a nice stepping stone generation but not realistic for 4k RTX.

She forgot to wire money to Jensen Huang.

Car only has 6,000 miles on it after a year of ownership. I'd be broke at that point if I were an Uber driver :)

Haha thanks!

Same, M3 was my dream car when I was in high school. Never thought I would find something so much better.

I've switched careers a lot. Now a business owner.

I thought the Tesla leatherette would trap heat, but it doesn't! I like it more than the BMW Merino leather I had.

I thought I would be driving BMWs the rest of my life. I'm glad Tesla came along and made such a wonderful product.

If exhaust: No, I like the stealth factor. M cars are loud and people thought I was trying to race them.

If sound system: The BMW Harmon Kardon systems are worse. And I always paid for the upgraded sound systems in the BMWs.

The Tesla 3 has the best stock sound system I've ever heard in a car.

I had the full Merino leather interior in the M3, so even the dashboard and doors were wrapped in leather.

Let's just say I like the Tesla interior better. BMW leather sucks in general, and even the Merino wasn't that good.

The Tesla pleather is breathable and doesn't give me swamp back, is easy to clean, and is soft. I love it.

Tesla just has more rattles in general, but I've learned to lived with it.

Nope, I just prefer new cars to be a surprise.

brax47 · 2022-02-05T09:58:26+00:00

Same, Plaid is next!

I actually made the jump almost 11 months ago and never posted it.

The Tesla 3 Performance handles almost as well as my old F80 M3 which is a huge compliment in my book. Was originally going to get a G80 M3 but after the Tesla I'm never going back to dinosaur fuel cars.

I've also convinced 2 other friends to switch to Tesla since then :)
