    What's your latest tech purchase?

    It meant I tore down every issue your bike was likely to have been manufactured with. Expecting it would inspire great care or even greater force in the correct places. Such as grinding down a wrench to a few mm thick without undoing the metal tempering. Or putting it in your mind to pull out...

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I'm more surprised to see an actual stem. You are correct that the bike shows signs of being a size too small or the geometry is far from an ideal fit for hard trail use. @de.das.dude was in a different situation where I was fairly sure directness would be taken as inspiration. Just...

    Possible near-future 2024 Arrow Lake build....

    In a world of illusion we take face value at face value? Did you stop and think why this change was necessary, was committed? I won't drag this OT from being a system build thread facing final critique before new variables are encountered. Do allow me to say there is a lot of price...

    What are you playing?

    Clearly there are subtleties of the English language I'm failing to communicate. You seemed to be reflecting upon the racing genre outside of arcade games. An attempt was made to determine if there were other directly related racing titles you might enjoy. While exploring if full sim might...

    At least those treating the world like a rented toilet have. Sorry to hear this adventure was postponed.

    Lol, had to be done. I'd have expected you to be rushing to get rid of the 2xxx GPU for sharply reduced 4xxx or possibly 5xxx. Having similar thoughts myself. Only less optimistic and too late.

    Christmas in July sales might be worth the wait too. Thought you were going traveling the world with a laptop.

    No, that is not how it was intended to read. If you have to ask, it might not be for you.

    What are you playing?

    If you have to ask... More every day they live up to being simulations. Have to imagine at some point AC will become unplayable without a wheel.

    Beam NG and Assetto Corsa my son. Before someone gets some soap and washes away those dirty things you said questioning the sancity of Forza Horizon. (Purebred unregulated cheating on a level no racing game I've encountered before dared place upon their paying user base)

    The Crew lyf4vr :p Finally came across a fix to playable character eyes in COTW Angler. Near a record fish as you can come without actually doing the deed.

    I edited my quoted post (while you were typing) to reflect a more on-site message that abstained from argumentative possibilities. Buyer beware, and I stand behind the principle of both messages.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I have nothing but positive statements towards buying a couple pair of sale price sunglasses for everyday use. Response was due to $ to avoid $$$. Higher cost is no guarantee was the larger warning I was hinting at. Not everything is always as it seems. :)

    Feel need to place a PSA you are free to ignore.

    Your PC ATM

    If the smiley didn't suggest subtext. Fully appreciate that hardware is considerably higher priced and harder to purchase in your location. To equal amounts as how often standards change for no other reason than making consumers repurchase every component. Everything turning into comically...
