  1. I don’t play anymore, but good lord is this an update and a half. Good shit.
  2. Assuming you haven't already done this - but if you'd prefer to not go for a full nuke and want to potentially save time, I highly recommend resetting your user profile on windows first - that will clean likely Windows-related culprits first from AppData folders and HKCU registry.
  3. I can’t argue with that. Only serves to make it more open and provide options. That said - if they do, man the build quality is pretty amazing for something so new and modular/repairable.
  4. Jesus yeah an XPS is a good pick. Lenovo is good as well but I’d favor in the XPS unless reviews are really saying the Legion is better. I’d personally say if you are bringing a desktop to go without a GPU. Onboard does some good stuff without a GPU as is, and you could save some money there. I will also add that discrete GPUs helped drain my battery really quick on my first laptop. Can add some bulk too, but I’m not sure if that’s the case for the XPS.
  5. Coming from a recent graduate who used a desktop pc and had two laptops through college: First and foremost, you will 110% want a laptop. Today in US college, it’s pretty much a need. Do NOT go with only a desktop. Biggest factors are ease of use, budget, and major. Considering you are business admin major, literally anything works for a laptop as long as it can run Google docs or Office. Since you’re considering getting a MacBook, I’ll assume you got a little money to play with budget-wise. Leaving this down to ease of use, I can tell you a desktop was so nice once I had it, but fuck did it suck to have to move it back and forth 4 times a school year. I’m picky with performance in games and had a nice computer though, so it was worth it. If you don’t want hassle or your computer isn’t all that great, I’d highly recommend going with a windows gaming laptop. They got some good options know days for bang-for-buck. If you have a good desktop and don’t mind a little hassle, bring the desktop. Assuming you bring your desktop: You will be much happier if you get a laptop that isn’t meant for gaming as much. MacBooks are really solid laptops. If you are fine with learning the OS (that’s super simple), it’s seriously going to last you through college. That said, I own a framework laptop. Assuming the company doesn’t go under, I will hopefully have that for many years to come considering I can change out hardware. It’s very sleek and lightweight like a MacBook, but it does require a little more tech-know how. TLDR: Get a more gaming-sided laptop if you don’t bring your desktop. If you bring your desktop, Get a lightweight laptop. It’ll last longer than a gaming one (assuming you don’t game on it) and will be much nicer to carry around.
  6. Happy Birthday @ Ryan

    Noah it was an absolute pleasure to get to know you and to watch you move up the ranks. There’s seriously some real life value to the leadership and activities that can be done with Olympus, and the friendships along the way are the cherry on top. Good luck with your future endeavors!
  8. Splitgate has been a blast Battelfield 5 is free with twitch prime Chivalry 2 is pretty fun
  9. The new Battlefield 2042 portal/builder looks nuts.

    2 maps and many assets each from 1942, bad company 2, and bf3, plus pretty unlimited customization of game modes.

    Shit I didn’t wanna overhype but man this is looking good.

      Super hyped, but holy shit, this is going to make Warzone look small filesize-wise

  10. Read my lips: Give @ Ron his whitelist back

  11. If only wire transfers existed in the game
  12. Happy shared Birthday bud - @Ryan

    Time to enjoy some drinks 🍻

  13. Razer used to be GOATed, but they focused too heavily on their laptop market IMO and honestly their mice are all I use. Their keyboards are ok and their headsets are apparently decent. Corsair has awful mice, really good keyboards, and their headsets are decent (I use the virtuosos). Corsair's real good shit is their RAM and their RGB hardware and software is in my opinion unmatched currently. I haven't used much Logitech. Apparently their mice, headsets, and keyboards are all decent - good , but I can't get around how cheap almost every product looks and feels to me.
  14. If Culvers is shit in your town then your town sucks my dude. Never had shake shack so I gotta try that, but in-n-out is overhyped as fuck. Burgers are good but their fries are ass
  15. Culver’s should be up there

  18. This is the forum equivalent to “We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”
  19. Sometimes I wonder how the server dynamic would play out if APD couldn't identify people by names and had to work off witnessed or reported illegal actions. 

    A part a me feels like that would strike a good balance when the cops have so much power.

      You know how that would work out. Cops playing FiveM while civs are playing wasteland.

  20. This is usually where people start to get on the lines of identifying as Pansexual. - Tends to make things easier to clump together for those who like women and trans women. That said, the only thing about me that is remotely gay is I still open Arma every once in a while.
  21. Whenever you’re sad, just remember @DeadPool is a real person. 

  22. SMH Biden got elected and now the taxes went up
  23. Agreed - something as mountainous as a worldwide pandemic is not one mans fault. That said - I think his handling of it was poor nonetheless. The encouragement away from mask wearing, the distrust in scientist and medical professionals, and over-zealousness on banking on an early vaccine as the only prevention was NOT the way to handle it. Trump wanted to drain the “swamp” - but when the swamp contains scientists and educated professionals, it kind of defeats the point of wanting to rid of corrupt politicians and just makes it looks like we’re getting a corrupt businessman in office instead of a corrupt politician
  24. I find the most preferable option would be healthily regulated capitalist economy with efficient safety nets for Americans. Wait times for medical care in other countries are very comparable to the wait times that already exist for Americans currently, but even assuming higher wait times, are we really saying that you'd rather be worried about having to wait a little longer for an ear infection than about having to pay the fee for an ambulance because of a broken leg? Assuming unified healthcare through the government, a LOT of Americans could be saving money by paying a little more on taxes than paying a nice premium for decent health insurance .
  25. The GDP actually went up with Obama in office, after the 2008 recession under Bush, and unemployment made a return back down to under what it was before the recession as well in 2015. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1 https://www.statista.com/statistics/193290/unemployment-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990/ Trump was doing a great job at actually maintaining these trends, already set by the Obama administration, until of course COVID hit. A LOT of leftist fully blame Trump on Covid. It would have been impossible for anyone to maintain the same trends with covid, but where Trump failed was being able to at least recover some of his economic work by doing better at handling the virus. Now unemployment is in an area where it cannot be recover for likely at least the next decade. Instead of handling COVID with better protections, we were promised a vaccine by the election that is, you guessed it, not here yet.
