    Nvidia’s new RTX 2080, 2080 Ti video cards ship on Sept 20, starting at $799

    I have a 1080. I will probably sit this gen out. That said, I planned to sit the 1080 gen out as well, until my older GPU decided to die. I am glad I got it early though, as I still paid a lot less than what people were paying in the mining hayday. Also they tried this pricing scheme...

    next gaming monitor tech?

    I can see a difference between HD and 4K on a 27 inch monitor about 2-3 feet from my face. Is it really much better? Yes...and no. The quality of the picture is better, but it take a lot more video card to drive it. In fact, current cards like the 1080 can even have issues driving multiple...

    World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth!

    Remember, you need level one 110+ character with the appropriate faction before you gain access to the allies races. Additionally, you need to complete the quest line to do it. If you have 5 level 60s, you have some grinding to do...

    TEST Book Club - August selection

    No real spoilers, more of a concept overall post. Overall, this is a great read. There are some very dated ideas, but even those were progressive for the time (female ship captain). It starts pretty slow, but picks up about chapter 3-4. I liken this to Weber’s “in fury born” but that is a...

    Convince me it's still fun

    The game is fun in certain areas, but they have completely borked the economy. By letting people buy as much UEC as they want, they will either have to balance around them, or let them be super overpowered and balance against the new person They are already balancing against large haulers...

    To buy or not to buy a Javelin?

    Not having been in the military, I find some of the sexist comments disturbing. Women are not really treated as equals, even though they make the “best pilots”, and they seem to be seen as as object to be had.
