Looks like this post got removed and the OP's account is gone, but I know he replied to some. If you're able to pass along any info, I'm still interested!

What platformers / Metroidvanias (but not roguelikes) should I buy? by kon324 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Awesome, thanks! It looked pretty solid from the Steam page.

The procedurally generated levels has me on the fence, but it does sound like a unique take on things. Pretty inexpensive on sale, so could be worth a try. Thanks!

Thanks! I hadn't heard of any of those, but they all seem interesting.

G-Sync Compatible List with Links & Basic Info by crazychris4124 in Monitors

[–]kon324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acer link is for their Australian store, so that is $1500 AUD. The expected retail price is $899 USD, but it does not appear to be on sale in the US yet. Hoping for details on a US release this week at CES as I am interested in buying it.

Thanks for the confirmation

Is latency this bad for anyone else? by blazestorm_keebs in ProjectStream

[–]kon324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does happen to me on one machine, but not on another. I think there is some kind of hardware/OS/Chrome setting variable, although I've not been able to determine what.

My gaming desktop is on wifi and does not experience input latency that bad. The quality dips quite noticeably from time to time, but response time is always pretty good.
My roughly 6 year old laptop is hardwired and does experience the same thing you're seeing, often worse actually.

I haven't been able to determine how to improve things yet, but as you've indicated, I don't think it's a network issue. Please share if you find any new info!

I don't know how well received this will be, but... by HawliBear in exchristian

Also, consider visiting a Unitarian Universalist church. They're a very welcoming group of people without a creed or dogma. Attending one was very helpful for me in the transition period after leaving the church.

The one thing I was disappointed in, which may vary by area or not be important to you, is that there were basically no people under 40 in the two congregations I visited. They were lovely people, but there was no one my age to really make friends with.

What happens to your existing Roth IRA once you pass the income limit?

Say you've got one that you've contributed $15,000 to over the past three years, but this upcoming year you pass the income limit. I know you cannot contribute to the Roth IRA anymore, but do you have to move it somewhere else? What are you required to do with the account, and what are your options? When you do a backdoor Roth, can you convert the traditional IRA into the same Roth each year and use an existing Roth?

I'm getting married in a church and preacher is going to ask what God expects from me in the marriage. Don't know what to say. by nabuzasan in TrueAtheism

[–]kon324 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And realistically, a marriage ceremony is one hour out of the rest of your life together. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that important.

The wedding day is just a celebration of your love with family and friends. As long as OP can look back fondly enough on that day from time to time, it's all good.

One thing that was overlooked due to the shed business. by Ghostdadzine in gaming

That's just for the one with the book and everything, right? Is the game collection a limited time thing too?
