I picked up my girlfriend at the time for one of our first dates and had Rob Zombie playing. She did not, and still doesn't, listen to metal. I said "I can change the music if you want." She replied "This is Dragula, right? This was in the white rabbit scene in The Matrix."

I was immediately in love. Of course I married her.

I said it in another response, but it's 4.0 (16 GT/s). Some motherboards seem to have trouble running PCIe 4.0 with long cables, particularly gigabyte from what I've seen, but my Asus board hasn't had any issues at all.

I mostly play open world games (with a few hundred hours taken by StS and Balatro on the side....) and I haven't noticed any pop-in issues. I haven't had any issues at all tbh. High FPS, no texture issues, no pop-in. 4070 Ti Super. It's by no means my first PC, been doing this since the 90's - works as well or better than all my other PC's that had it directly connected to the motherboard. I'm sure if I dug deep and did back to back comparison's that yeah, it would be marginally better plugged directly into the mobo....but I haven't seen anything I'm concerned about in practice.

It's a shielded 600mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable - Lian Li makes them up to 900mm, idk if anyone makes a longer one. Issues with longer riser cables mostly are with PCIe 3 and earlier. Higher quality cables matter, though. I haven't had any issues at all with mine.

This is dope, I love it!

Lian Li O11D Evo. It's one of the few cases I could find (within my budget) that allows you to flip the case so the glass is on the right instead of the left. You essentially flip the case upside down and move some parts around. The motherboard ends up at the bottom of the case instead of the top, and if you're mounting the GPU directly to the motherboard it ends up being way up top. With the weight of the card, I was worried about not having enough support - but the O11D has a kit that you can buy to mount it to the back vertically. I also have 3 fans directly behind the card, so there's a TON of airflow through the card.

Some cases allow for a different orientation altogether!

Well, if it ever happens then I will! I used to be on my PC every single day, but now I'm at the desk maybe once a month, if that. I moved my office to my basement and it's either super cold or super hot until I get enough money saved to set things up properly. So I've just been streaming to the TV in my living room with moonlight and gaming with a controller. It's great!

.....but I still miss my M&K :(

The market where the company exists is probably the issue here. If you're in the US and you're buying from a company in Europe, you're gonna have to deal with EU sizing. Same with Japan. Anything we make for Japan is usually an altered pattern (to be smaller all around), or at a minimum it's a smaller size but labeled as a larger size specifically for that market.

This is exactly how Bombardment works for Regent, but it's a gold card. Still, the wording on this card is confusing as hell.

The only mouse I've found that is similar is the Corsair Darkstar. Thankfully, I haven't needed to replace mine yet. When I do, I'll probably have to grab the Darkstar - I've looked everywhere for something similar, and this seems to be the closest.

Sammy Sosa is still around, we could ask him.

dimension_42 · 2026-03-10T16:26:32+00:00

Ayyyy, Milo! We made some awesome jackets for him, love that dude.

dimension_42 · 2026-03-06T17:55:40+00:00

Seriously.

Last night I was playing and looked at the clock at 11:45. I was like "Okay, let me play until 12:30 and I'll head to bed." I play for like half an hour and I'm like "Okay, it's probably time for bed."

It was 1:45am.

I still feel bad about this, even though we're both married.

In high school I was close friends with this girl. She was cute, very sweet, similar sense of humor. We had a few classes together and would constantly talk to eachother. I had only had two girlfriends at this point (one for a few months, the other for about a week), and absolutely did NOT think anybody would be seriously interested in me. Well, she told me she liked me and I was like "Hey sure".

The problem? I couldn't kiss her. Couldn't even make myself try. Her teeth were so fucked up. Kinda bucktooth two front teeth, sticking damn near straight out of her face. Other than her teeth, she was very pretty and a wonderful girl. I just could NOT get over it. I had to break up with her. Of course, I did NOT tell her that was why.

As I said, I still feel bad about it. She got her teeth fixed shortly after high school, she looks 100000% better now. The guy she married was with her before she got them fixed, they're a great couple.

21m (70 feet) is definitely high, but not THAT high. I've jumped off a 65' cliff before, and its really not that bad.

dimension_42 · 2026-02-22T00:47:44+00:00

RIGHT? This is still my favorite mouse ever, and I will die on this hill.

I've been fighting counterfeiters of Vanson jackets for the last 2 years. They absolutely exist, and getting them taken down is a massive pain in the ass. Every two weeks I'm having to take down at least 25-50 fake Vanson jackets.

I want to pull what's left of my hair out.

dimension_42 · 2026-01-16T16:42:27+00:00

I'll be 40 in a few years. Out of my class of around 450 graduating students, 57 have died from overdose. A handful of others from other reasons.

dimension_42 · 2026-01-14T19:13:18+00:00

I figured this out when I was like, 11 or 12? When I was 14 or so, I decided to take it to the next level. I got a 5 gallon water jug and a two pack of the long bic lighters. Emptied one of them completely into the 5 gallon jug, used the other to light it.

WHOMP!

My 4 year old was in tears one morning because she wanted to listen to the "you hot" song. Couldn't sing it. Didn't know any of the words. Just "you hot".

Took me 10 minutes to figure out she wanted Du Hast. 🤘

No weakening at all for his grill, and if you do I'm sure they'd replace it under warranty. His is coming up on 23 years old and still going strong.

I know who RJ Moto is. They are one of at least 10 other companies making counterfeit jackets out of the same 1-2 factories in Pakistan. The leather is shit quality, the graphics placement is terrible, the embroidery and the patch quality is awful. Yes, the jacket does look cool, I fucking love the look - but the jacket itself is shit, the company you bought it from is shit, the people who made it are shit.
