Otakuthon is happening right now. Didn't feel like going but some of my friends who did grabbed me some loot.

Apparently Dan Salvato, the main guy behind Doki Doki Literature Club, was there. So was TM Revolution.

There's a DreamHack happening literally a 5 minute walk away from my home. Considering enslaving my roommate to carry my computer over and back. :p

2070 Super cards still not in stock though.

>~<

This might take a while...

deep philosophical question. in manhua translation I keep seeing a pretty nonsensical pattern that goes something like this:
-bad guy: you have to die.
-good guy: lol call me grandpa is you fail (or other super powerful insults like that ^_^)
they fight, the good guy resists well and kills or wounds a subordinate of bad guy which leads to
-bad guy: don't expect to leave this place alive after what you just did.

and each time this happens, I'm like, wait what? you came to kill him from the get go and even told him so are death threats cumulative like prison sentences or something? he's still only going to die once. that same pattern often repeats four or five times in a single battle!:face_palm: so I was wondering if it's one of those popular expressions that really gets lost in translation once in Angrish, or if somehow it's a thing in China to renew death threats like every time is the first time you ever made it? anybody knows what I'm talking about?

I just call it poor, generic writing. :p

I got a reference card from Nvidia directly at MSRP and free shipping. But it was out of stock within 2 hours after I ordered.

I don't see why Nvidia put that much effort on making the FE card so fancy, with metal shrouds and all.

For that corporate overlord-worthy A E S T H E T I C S. :p

Always thought the past reference blowers looked beautiful. Same with the current founders cards, and the Quadros simply look stunning. For 3 seconds. Then dust and finger prints settle in. And they are put into a render farm workstation, never to be seen again.

Just watched Infernal Affairs. Great film! Now for the better, whitewashed version. :p
