I work in IT (Sysadmin). "Oh, you fix computers? Can you look at my laptop?"

I uninstalled when EA denied Bioware the resources for the overhaul project, since that meant it was only a matter of time before the plug got pulled. Super disappointing too, since Anthem would've been my "perfect" game, had they reworked it to a good state.

It's a copypasta.

Sounds like Farenheit 451.

The Steam controller was definitely interesting. I bought two, one shortly after they released, and another when they were clearing them out. I never could get the hang of using the trackpad in place of an analog stick, though, and eventually bought an Xbox controller to game with on the pc. I still use one of them with my Steam Link when I stream tv shows from my pc to the tv.

Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.

Homegrown tomatoes of any type will beat the hell out of anything purchased at a store.

I was hoping EA would greenlight the overhaul project, as I also really liked the flight and combat. I understand why they didn't, but it still sucks to see this.

I've got Captchas the last few times I've redeemed GOG codes. They're annoying, but I've yet to get any that I couldn't solve.

Don't skimp out on things that separate you from the ground. Shoes, chairs, beds, etc. Those things can affect your posture and bad ones can put you in pain, and you'll likely be spending a lot of time in them, so it's worthwhile to spend extra on quality ones. I'd say getting 4 years out of a pair of boots is a steal.

On the subject of boots, I bought a pair of Wolverine leather work boots for about $120 back in the early '00s, and wore them for 10+ years, albeit only during the colder months and casually. The only thing that wore out on them were the insoles.

A lot of folks think that tech people are wizards, and maybe there was a chance. Source: I work in IT.

I wasn't happy with my existing lighting setup, so I got some poster board and some LED lights to improve my shots. I grabbed a few built models off the shelf for some test photos. I would appreciate any feedback as I am a noob photographer.

 

Nothing too fancy with this one, just panel line, a bit of paint marker on the leg verniers, used the included water slides, and matte topcoat.

 

My current WIP, PG Strike Rouge. I managed to score it in a damaged box sale for nearly half off. HG Strike for scale.

 

This is my latest project, another custom made with mostly 30MM/S parts. The lance is a MSG kit.

 

This is a custom I made with 30MM/S parts and 3rd party ZeroPlan Wolf Claw.

 

This is a custom made of 30 Minutes Missions parts. I grew up building with Lego, so combining that concept with model kits has been great fun, and bad for my wallet.

 

I built this one a while ago. Despite being from 2001, it was still a good build. The hangar is custom built, using an AB1 and some 30MM hangar kits, and painted with spray cans. The Gundam is just panel lined, sticker decals, and matte topcoat.
