The computer and electronics super geek thread
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yeah, I don't recall the brand, but the price was $699 - that deal was solid. If you're not opposed to refurb GPU's, Microcenter has fantastic deals on high quality refurbs. I know refurb GPUs get bad press, but MC does a good job of giving you peace of mind with decent return policies. You might be able to save a little green and hit your use case. Of course YMMV on what's in stock, but don't overlook them if you're amenable to it. -

Man, I am so sorry. This morning, Amazon had some 5070tis at a fantastic price as part of an early black Friday deal, but I just checked and they're all gone. It was close enough in price to Microcenter's 9070xt's to where I would've recommended jumping it 5070ti immediately. -

Just finished watching it. Not what I expected. Was good. Gave me the same vibes as Willow or Beastmaster. It was enjoyable, but didn't do anything for me to be a theater-level experience.

DX Chogokin VF-31A Kairos - Macross Delta 10th Anniversary
Test_Pilot_2 replied to MKT's topic in Toys
Snagged one at Nin-Nin... I had a mountain of Vouchers to throw at it so it canceled all the extra tariffs and shipping. Pretty excited as I really like this Kairos. -

I think I may be in for one... assuming we can get a reasonable price out the door. -

9070xt works great at 1440p for almost everything out there today. That's the resolution I run via an EGPU and a Rog Ally X on a bottlenecked TB4 connection. You can save some $$$ on the GPU that way and use it to get a nicer monitor, cpu, bigger/faster SSD, or more games! -
At least Fedex is having a sale, right? Right?

The MW Automotive Thread 5.0 GT
Test_Pilot_2 replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The Odyssey has grown on me. It drives well, it's comfortable, and the family travels really well in it. I'm letting the EV6 GT go in June... just not enough value to buy it out. I need an EV with better range anyways. Looking at a Cadillac Lyriq with a level 2 or 3 trim (don't care Luxury vs Sport) or a Lucid Air Touring AWD. Also looked at the BMW iX. Teslas are not an option and not dealing with the local KIA/Hyundai guys again. Any others I should be looking at? I'm leaning hard into the Lucid right now. -

I love my Vitures - they're fantastic. I initially struggled with the nosepads until I realized the long ones were meant to bend to extremes. Fixed it right up. Only goofy bit are the far corners are blurry for me, but never notice it unless I'm purposefully looking at the corners. There is alot in the content consumption space for these glasses. It's like "travel" for the use case of a vehicle. -

Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Great for travel for consuming content on planes and airports. Great for discreetly consuming content when you don't want to rope in other folks... watched Alien Earth while my littles were watching Bluey. For the glasses that look semi-normal ish and don't impair your vision... Great for consuming training classes, certification prep, or news at work in between meetings or tasks. Even driving around/commuting while letting the material passively play in the background - essentially an amped-up ebook experience. They have their use cases for people even if they don't for you. -

That is awesome. I thought it was a statue at first, but then I googled it and saw it's a figure. Comes with a nice pricetag, too O_o.- 872 replies

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
Test_Pilot_2 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Will do, it'll be my first Moderoid. I thought about getting the hi spec, but apparently this one is better. That's why I picked up the Retroid Pocket 6, but that little 35-40 buck machine does the job, too, and it's more convenient. It'll take some time to configure the retroid properly. If you want to tinker and have patience - the retroid is better. If you want something that's playable out of the box, the R36S might be better.- 872 replies

Here are the other two... They're identical spec-wise, both have a # of R36S, but the software on them differ. Got one used for $35 and the other new for $40. They're fantastic for the price, arguably better than the Retroid Pocket dollar for dollar... Even though the Retroid is way nicer. Both play everything up to Dreamcast/PS1 fine so far. If you like retro games and you find one, check it out.- 872 replies

Picked up a Retroid Pocket 6 little bit ago, too. FB Marketplace 4tw. Small haul of little handheld actually. Still checking out the other 2, but this one is perfect!- 872 replies

Still waiting on that broader TB5 support. That will be a bigger game changer for me. Until then, these marginal gains aren't worth it - they're outpaced by the runaway pricing changes. -
I use acrylic nesting shelves I found on Amazon to elevate my homies in the back. Here's where I shifted around to fit Daitarn 3. Moved my mini Dairugger, Daltanias, and Combattler down with them, too so they could join the era family better. I think I can move Dai Apollon down if I slide Daitarn's accessories back and left. The minis are super convenient and cool - they offer all the transforming and combining gimmicks while taking up so little room.

You know, with today's graphics power I think there's an opportunity to remake spectacular rail shooters... Panzer, Sin & Punishment, etc... Haven't they updated light gun technology so it's usable with current-gen displays? They were simple, but so much fun.
