lol yeah sounds about right. The issue is mostly with my hands, arthritis creeping in makes it tough to manipulate a mouse or controller. My thumb and index fingers get me the worst.

Switched some things around on the PC, upgraded from a 120mm AIO to a 360mm, because I like to party. Everything was going great; installed 2x140 magnetic levitation fans on the top as exhaust, 1x120 on the rear also as exhaust. Then it came the Front as intake with the 360mm AIO. I forgot to measure my GPU; Zotac AMP Holo 3070ti which by the way is a brick. From the front, the top and bottom fans fit perfectly, except for the one in the middle, which has no room because it touches the outer edge of the GPU. Now I have to get a slim 120mm fan. Which is on order from Noctua, just might suck because it will be the only fan in the case that is not magnetic levitated.

Edit; Member' when I first started in this forum, and I said my budget was $1200 or so? Man that was funny. Silly me.

First time I ever heard someone say something about their fan setup sucks as a complaint...

I was going to explain why, but then I read it again and understood what you meant.

Never met a Noctua fan which didn't live up to the hype.
Nearly every other fan I've tried, on the other hand...

I went from a Phanteks P400a to a P500a just for the space. All air cooled but worth it.

Saw the announcement today that America's Army servers (the game, not the actual Army) is shutting down in May after 20 years. I played it for a couple of years when it first came out, and know several folks that have played for the full time.

Didn't we all say this with our cars, too?

It has been reported that the new AI for GT7 codenamed "Sophy" is so good, that it made current eSports Pro-drivers sweat on the track during testing. Compared to older iterations where the AI would follow an strict code and often run into you, the new one excels on racing etiquette, hard and aggressive driving, and plays fair while observing racing rules. Not to mention, it can master racing lines down to millimeters (Did they make it study and learn Senna's driving style?).

I didn't mention this because the game never came up in any of the discussions. I've being playing AA since 2002. Only did LAN gaming from 1.8 through all of AA3 because I only had dial up at home.
I've been using my cell phone tethered to my PC for my internet connection for over a decade now. Remarkable good scores for this set up. I've been a BETA tester for AA:PG going on five years. We'll keep it alive as long as possible.
You can find several good articles on the web about the game, it's history and the shut down. However, at least one is rather poorly written IMHO. Less about the games background and more about it being propaganda in a bad sense. Perhaps the author has a hidden agenda or many of us took it wrong.
Anyway, it's free, it's fun and there'll be private severs running long after the shut down date.

Yea, like I said, haven't played it in a while and just saw there would private servers. I'm glad the community is going to keep it alive.

Just testing the waters on here, is anybody interested in a 3080 Ti? I have a Asus Tuf and just pulled a Asus LC OC on the newegg shuffle. So I would like to sell the Tuf. What would a fair price be?

Every now and then when I want to reminisce I fire up Far Cry and set up a LAN game on my computer. I have a script that someone wrote that allows 8 different maps to be populated with bots.The bots aren't very smart but they're very accurate.
I remember the strategies but I can no longer apply them to good effect.
I used to very good at FFA but now I'm shit.
*sigh*

If you're posting here, I would say whatever you paid for it on the shuffle.
