I know it sucks for people trying to buy a GPU or CPU right now. But please don't give in and pay a crazy price from scalpers.

Watch the date for the post   BTW, as long as mining is extremely profitable as it is now, you won't find GPU's. Miners will buy it all. —

Yep, I ended up with a lower GPU than I wanted, at least bought at a sensible retail price rather than paying over the odds. —

This assumes that the bot-using scalpers are not using multiple accounts to sell their misbegotten wares. I am pretty sure that if you sell more than a certain amount of dollars worth of stuff on Ebay then you need to pay for a merchant account instead of a free private account. I would imagine that StockX is the same. —

I've been thinking about getting a new chair. The $10 thrift store chair I have had for the last 4 years has served me well, but I can tell it will not last much longer.
I just saw that Herman Miller and Logitech G teamed up to make a gaming edition of the Embody chair. Wow. I really wish I could afford one right now!

The nice thing about these chairs is they have a 12 year warranty and even once its past it's warranty period you can still sell it and get a lot of your money back. The regular… See More

Embody sells used easily for $800-$900. So it's a solid investment.
I just need to come up with the $$$!

It's nice, but not my sort of chair. I like the height of my Secret Labs Titan so that my head and neck has support. I can sleep on this thing if I tilt it back.   —

Can we expand the number of hashtags included in trending discussions? I love this site, but I don't have time to just scroll all day. When I log in I pretty much only see what was posted in the past few hours and I know I am probably missing out on a lot of cool stuff.

Sometimes I just want to see an interesting topic and read what people are saying. Kind of like in the olden days before "the feed" was invented. Hashtags are great for that, but only really useful if there is more than a few tags… See More

I think maybe if there was a button that would take you to a page of hashtags used on this site would be nice. —

I think the number of hashtags on the left depends on how many hashtags we use. Not sure though! —

So I participated in the Epic Games 2020 MegaJam.
We had 1 week to make a game with the theme of "It's been a long time, but we're not done yet." Feel free to download and play my submission!
It's pretty short and nothing particularly special. Also.. Not sure how well my theme applies.. I started more of a time loop sort of idea and it just kind of evolved into what it is..

Anyway, it was a fun challenge and it really helped to kickstart my brain into dev mode as I have been in a rut with Potato Planet!… See More

So I am happy to be re-energized.
