Much easier to reject bad CVs. On the other hand every job post is the same and you have to check Glassdoor and Crunchbase before applying to a potential bad company

Playing through the latest Yazuka game about the death of the Yakuza, similar to the last of the outlaws in RDR2.

You could just do an FTX and scapegoat 1 person, or be like WeWork and get rich losing money. Not to mention the hundreds of embezzling, politician lobbying companies out there or even the chaebols in Asia.

The timing is either amazing or the electrical storm this afternoon fried something. I have the 2721dgf now it turns black for 2 seconds before resuming randomly. My other 4k dell monitor is fine

Any solutions? Repair or black Friday?

This is difficult to explain. I can't figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it's confusing. Here are some examples

1. A house, prices are out of control, inventory is low, sellers are greedy. I'm feeling not only unable to afford it but finding lack of value in inflated prices

2. Computer parts. Relatively cheap compared to pandemic but more expensive than before but also much cheaper than 90s/00s, but still could be cheaper

3. TWS earbuds, completely different ball game from regular earbuds, disposable electronics.

4. Food. Nights out with drinks now sometimes cost me more than 2 & 3, but seem like just keeping up with inflation

The prices range from 100,000s to 100s, but some are fleeting, some semi permanent, some last a long time. I also spend hours researching prices of parts and waiting for sales, but spending the same amount on social events in an instant

Rule of 2s sometimes happens known as the Baader Meinhof phenomenon.

The latest episode of Loki had Tom Hiddleston impersonating an inflatable man for a visual gag

This week's episode of Taskmaster a British game show (coincidentally a Marvel character), released on YouTube with a challenge and had mostly British cast dance like an inflatable man https://youtu.be/KG03TeDzkuk?si=1nNvNJNHUKm3q7KP

Just finished MFN, it had the same vibe, underlying horror as NFB, both focused on behind the scenes in television. Would be great if these 2 companies did references to each other the same way Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank did in the early days

RE Engine: Monster Hunter, REMakes, DMC. All run beautifully

Idtech: Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are super optimised on low end hardware

Then you have Unreal Engine 5 which needs top end hardware to run (Remnant 2, Lords of Fallen) and

Gamebryo/Creation which still has bugs from Morrowind in Starfield.

Not sure if related but City Skylines 2 needs several times $$ investment for slight improvements over Cities 1 on Unity

Now a splash screen either makes me smile or cringe. Just wished everything ran RE engine

FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can't run it.

Opening up Morrowind to try to replace Starfield or DOS 1 to replace Baldur's Gate 3

I think the Expanse and Cloud Atlas did it, are there any other good examples?

Just switched from liberty soundcore 3 to the Linkbuds. Never had issue with crowds with the l3p, but the Linkbuds get interference from just a couple of people near me and really bad in big crowds

I had a ASRock b350 and missed the train to upgrade to a 5800x because of the BIOs. If I had a slightly different MoBo I could have upgraded.

Looking for a AM5 board now and putting in a 7600 for now. But looking to see if I can get 8800x3d or hopefully the 9800x3d in 2026.

Bought a 6700XT for 400USD last year.

But the platform update required means that I possibly only do a budget MoBo + CPU for 400

Then PSU, case, ram, cooler are all additional.

My previous CPU lasted 7 years, my Ryzen 2600 is 5 years now. Which means I can't play Remnant 2, Starfield or Lords of Fallen. Not the best optimised games, but a trend nonetheless.

Would future proof mean getting a top shelf Intel or the 7800x3D to last 7+ years? Or just go budget every 3 years?

Apologies if I don't make sense the current market is confusing along with inflation and random price increases
