    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    You guys are just talking about Piers Anthony's fiction, there's another level of creep when it comes to his non-fiction accounts of his correspondence with young fans. Even his own accounts include him writing to a young female fan, and including erotic writing with a note to only have her...

    I would not have expected the difference to be great enough to have them go out of sync over a matter of minutes, but I guess I've never considered how much variance there is in cheap clock generators.

    My new PC has RGB lighting on the RAM sticks. The default setting is a chasing rainbow pattern. Same on both sticks, except one is slightly faster than the other, so they don't stay in phase. I have no idea why.

    The Gunk There's something to be said for a game that knows what it wants to be, does just that, and doesn't overstay it's welcome. The Gunk isn't a great game, but it's definitely a good game that could have easily gone bad by trying too hard to be longer, or more difficult, or more complex...

    8.4 pounds of Reese's. They were on sale. I checked and it was about 30% cheaper than buying them individually at the grocery store.

    New PC has been acquired, and partially set up. Motherboard is an ASUS Prime B760M-A AX6, and I've already updated it to the latest firmware. SSD is an ADATA Legend 800 Gold 2TB. Haven't updated it yet, but I don't know if it needs anything either. Any other specs you guys are interesting in...

    There's not a lot of incentive for Valve to make dedicated hardware for Steam Link when you can run an app on a number of different devices. (I still want to get a cheap Android TV device to see what the experience is like with one of those.) Valve is still developing that software, and...

    I used to build my own PCs. I spent so much time researching parts, and learning all sorts of tips and tricks. Back then I thought I'd always build my own. But it's been at least a dozen years since I built my last system. It was a Core 2 Duo but I can't remember what Radeon card it had. I...

    Deciding factor: It's in stock at the local Costco and I won't have to put up with the gamble of shipping again. EDIT: Will be going to get it on Monday. Hopefully it doesn't sell out over the weekend.

    No so simple on my last prebuilt. It had two SATA ports on the motherboard, both were occupied. There were no extra drive bays inside the tower. To increase the storage on that one I had to replace one of the existing drives. And you'll recall that the CyberPowerPC I previously got from Costco...
