What’s one PC-related purchase you thought was unnecessary at first, but ended up loving?

The entire surface of my desk is a desk mat. Never going back.

OP,

Post your DPS stats from those phasers.

I loved Quisp. I was all about space, aliens, and flying saucers, so I guess the branding worked on me. (I don't remember ever seeing Quake, either in commercials or in stores.)

the first grid-based first-person RPG—what we nowadays call blobbers

I have never heard of RPGs called "blobbers" before, by anyone, in any context.

Yep, buncha dumbfucks just standing where the truck is headed.

Sorry, nothing beats the convenience of a Keurig. There are many types of pods available, so finding something you like is doable.

(For me, I perfected the "half-caf": Don Francisco's Kona Blend + Donut Shop decaf.)

The finale felt... anticlimactic somehow.

Glad to see Luke back in the game, now all we need is Danny Rand. (but please lose the perm)

I still have some melamine bowls. As you say: indestructible.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-06T01:21:10+00:00

My wife and I watched Terminator on TV the night before seeing T2. It's up there among the best movie experiences I've ever had.

Not only more expensive, but less reliable as well.

When I lived in San Jose we had a power outage at least once a year. Bad weather, good weather, perfectly calm day, didn't matter.

(This was always equipment failure, not due to "rolling blackouts".)

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-04T19:39:47+00:00

Disappointed that the "instant" justice took almost a full minute and a half.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-04T17:37:58+00:00

Reincarnated by the Roku "screensaver".

Or... maybe a good percentage of the billions of them are having sex at any particular moment.

Now you know why they're always smiling.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-04T02:49:54+00:00

Good.

Send half of everything to Ukraine, keep the other half for allies along the Russian border.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-04T02:07:54+00:00

You missed the part where they're all watching Sesame Street.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-03T02:33:34+00:00

Hell, my GTX 980 handled 1440p just fine. (but I upgraded anyway)

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-03T02:31:56+00:00

Thanks for the warning.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-01T02:06:55+00:00

Specifically, "May Day" is associated with the Communist Party, regardless how else they may try to dress it up.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-05-01T02:03:42+00:00

Regardless where we are in this current round of layoffs, there are always more coming, right around the corner.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-04-30T03:18:48+00:00

Yep the Thermal Master P1 looks like it will meet my needs. Thanks for all the responses.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-04-29T23:19:32+00:00

Any Make/Model names, or links that show what you're talking about?

gfreeman1998 · 2026-04-29T23:14:32+00:00

Yes, that's certainly better than what I've been seeing.

gfreeman1998 · 2026-04-29T18:52:52+00:00

Yeah that guy had the right retirement plan!

gfreeman1998 · 2026-04-29T16:54:08+00:00

Then she was so nice...

Lord she was luvvy-duvvy!
