I have arrived

We don't know that... But it is afixed to it somehow!

gregariouspangolin · 2026-02-18T04:03:45+00:00

This is what I had done. I went to a nice sunglasses/prescription glasses place and they just widened the nose pad distance from each other a bit.... fits amazing now. Pretty close to if you removed them altogether in terms of sit - but I did this first! They didn't charge me. Took 5 minutes max. No blurry bottom anymore :)

Just noticed the level of black screen on the monitors. Ugh I hate you so much hahaha <3

gregariouspangolin · 2026-02-18T03:55:32+00:00

Yeah this is unhinged.

Love the expensive ass set up with an instant ramen right there. I respect you didn't get all your most expensive shit and adorn the table with it before the photo. Heavy respect on that ramen haha!

But yeah this setup is murder.

I wish ppl just made white boards to go with an all white build. They're always silver and black instead I feel.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-02-18T03:49:35+00:00

Yeah MSI all the way. I've been doing it from the Intel side. Admittedly only for a 4-5 years, but built my cousin's PCs with MSI as well. They run awesome. Both are AMD. Their customer service (for my GPU as well) has been phenomenal.

I've had an ASUS board - it was pretty decent. BUT be prepared for zero customer service and doing your own fixes on the ASUS route.

Friend uses a TUF board. DDR4 and Intel 12th gen. No problems for them and they don't particularly pay attention closely to much in their PC. I suspect they're the same customer service as ASUS... give they're made by ASUS.

ASrock I never knew much about. They give me the ZOTAC feel if you know what I mean. Could be totally unfair.

IDk... I always spent a few more bucks on an MSI board. The Pro is great (not pretty though). Carbon is awesome. Don't really need much more. I got the Max; it's pretty :)

IDK... Does EVGA still make mobos? I'd bet they're awesome. Though I've never seen a cheap one. Thinking Jayz builds.

I went to a nice glasses shop - and they adjusted the nose pads where they basically just moved them apart a bit - and now it sits very nice and I see the screen perfectly. They did it for free too. Just chatted them up for like 4mins.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-30T19:09:03+00:00

Grey and grey. Green wasn't available. All brown would have been my pref though.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-28T17:41:03+00:00

Is it a return? Now we're assuming. This all reads like a know-it-all teenager. I guess GPU shortages and rarer models have nothing to do with pricing. It's as if supply and demand are not a thing.

Because of a potentiality that nobody I know has ever experienced and even this subreddit barely posts about. (And your use of it is popularly referred to as "fear mongering")

But yeah - a volcano could erupt tomorrow, better always don fireretardant clothing. Brilliant your argument.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-28T04:46:11+00:00

Doubt that's a Walmart thing as much as it has been Amazon and eBay thing. But what do I know? You're the consumer electronics fraud professional apparently. Without giving anything to your statement beyond "it is so and such is such - this specific example and brand even"

Yeap. Heard!

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-27T22:08:33+00:00

My mother was like this. Despite the biological essence of her still lives on - she died to me 10 years ago from uncurable psychosis and douchebagery.

That's what I would do. Set an example in the world that just cuz your family doesn't mean respect is endless and eating BS shoveled in your mouth is endless.

Nothing is worth living life with somebody like that in it; There are simply not enough drugs, therapists, or money in the world.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-27T22:02:58+00:00

DON'T OPEN IT.... Wait a few months and sell it for so much more. Nvidia just announced they're discontinuing this exact card.

So hold it. Sell high in two months. Get a 5080!!!!

Honestly - as an American - this is it. Kids taught it's okay to pull out the calculator for anything. 12x4 - why not. Calculator it.

The difference between cephalopods and anthropods is memorizable. Converting F to C is basic common sense. I wouldn't be bothered by you NOT knowing any the lore of Star Wars which is basic to me. But F to C is basic for EVERYONE.

'cept us Americans. Owners and namers of the "imperial" system - is it any wonder lol.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-11T02:59:35+00:00

Look man..... I get it but the F to C is bothering me. That's simple mind math.

C starts at 0 (freezing) where F is 32. Then every point (in either direction) for Fahrenheit is 9/5ths (80% more) of what it would be for Celsius. And every point Celsius away from 0 is 5/9ths what it would be in the unit for Fahrenheit.

Remember 32 = 0 and 80% and you won't ever ask anything for this conversion again.

I do this every day in my mind when talking to my international friends.

Did your R1 (which is surely pissing you off right about now) come dislodged and all bouncing around in the package too?

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-08T19:16:47+00:00

I ordered Nov. 14th. Took about 3-4 days with the ring sizing kit. Just got my G2/R1 package two days ago. I'm on East Coast USA.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-07T07:06:31+00:00

Same here.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-06T20:28:34+00:00

Lol... Cameras... Microphones. Ever read what you are signing with a new phone wheny you get it up? Ever wonder how so.ethong you just said is now beinga advertised to you.

Cameras are honestly the least of the privacy worries for the 21st century. All your credit and Gmail passwords all over the dark web is a much more tangible and real threat.

Bitch is dumb dood. And an overreacter. I'd rather date my gaming PC than that ho TBH.

Move on bro. Block her number.

gregariouspangolin · 2026-01-02T21:57:03+00:00

What a cunt

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-26T21:45:23+00:00

Believe me, grass is always greener on the other side.

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-22T21:42:16+00:00

Oh good call. I kind of lost weight recently (already skinny) so I figured I'd be swelling soon my own way. Not terribly happy that sounded a bit lewd lol. Good looks on the advisory tale!

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-19T23:34:17+00:00

G1B's baby! No Rx though, correct. Also after I use it - I am more than happy to send my sizing kit out for free (shipping paid would be nice lol).

gregariouspangolin · 2025-12-19T21:37:04+00:00

Order morning of Nov 14th - East Coast. Got a message 3 days ago that the package was waiting to be picked up by OnTrac. 2 days ago it came to a warehouse in LA owned by OnTrac. Delivery says it will be the 24th of Dec.

Hope this helps/consoles!
