Cat is claiming ownership, as the card clearly has "biFURcation" printed on it.

I used an external drive enclosure to copy everything to the new drive. Then I swapped them both, so now I have a 64GB external SSD. I'll get a larger drive at some point and exile the 64GB to the parts bin.

Has anyone tried comparing them on a logarithmic scale?

That's a really... creative... way to attenuate the fan noises.

I played Geoguessr solo before they added the subscription. Some of my coworkers were on an Openguessr (same idea, but free) kick earlier this year. I'm curious to see how they package Google Street View for a Steam release. Will it look like the standard browser interface? I'm not...

I have a 690II downstairs in the Nerd Closet. Ye Olde Sandie Bridge Rigg is just waiting for the call to go back into service. Loved that case; I wanted to buy another when I built my current rig, but I couldn't find one.

I always wait at least two generations between upgrades, so my 3080 is safe for a couple more years. (My last three cards were 560Ti >> 970 >> 3080.) Actually, I should do a monitor upgrade before I retire the 3080; my 1440p monitor celebrated its 9th birthday right before Christmas.

I know there's a ton of other stuff in this pic, but I can't get past the Daletubbies on the wall. :roll:

I'm in North America and I can hear that thing clacking away. Nothing says GO AWAY I'M ON THE COMPUTER like a Model M. :rockout:

Here's the DLC for it...

For what it's worth, "too zoomed in" was pretty much standard in the first PoE, by design. They intended for the player to draw aggro from offscreen, to ratchet up the intensity. Not surprising that they're continuing that for the sequel. Can't comment on microstutter, haven't touched it yet...

The December 15 gift is a 90% coupon for four Thief titles.

I have Gothic 2 Gold on Steam, and I just learned that Chronicles of Myrtana is also available as a free mod there.

Maybe it can wash Doom...

I call it JOMTitis. Nothing sparks dread in my heart like looking out the window and seeing the sky get light, knowing I have to go to work soon.
