I do man. I'm doing a playthrough of the ME trilogy right now but it runs pretty much everything max at 60 or almost max with some of the more crazy settings down a bit.

I mostly play Siege though and it's funny how much better it runs now.

You need to get those texture mods for Mass Effect.

I finally broke down and got a gaming chair, since my old one broke in a crazy night with a girl (don't ask...lol).

I got the DXracer. It put me back $350, but it looks to be the shyt. It's consistently rated as the best gaming chair company out

I need streaming help, brehs.

My parents did the whole cut-the-cable thing, which I don't know jack shyt about b/c I never had cable. If they want to stream directly to their TV (some 65" Samsung smart TV model) and watch a live event (like a sports event from a reddit stream), what would they use to get whatever is on the computer to the TV? Since I have an HTPC build w/a 47" monitor and a TV tuner, I have no idea what equipment they should use. I know there's a web browser on their TV, but I don't know if that would suffice with software like Ace Player.

i would probably go with an amazon fire stick in that situation. as long as your parents are medium tech savvy. you could show them kodi.

depending on the live sports though, they might be able to pick up some stuff over the air. depends.

I just got my DXRacer gaming chair. shyt fits like a glove.

Kinda a bytch to setup, but definitely worth it, if you're in the market for a high end gaming chair. 9/10 (one point off for the cheap armrests and the setup)


$350 though

I purchased HyperX Cloud II headphones and so far I think they're fantastic.

Finally got my motherboard in.

Was looking at the z170 but then saw this one was recently released so went for the upgrade. Everything coming together nicely. I should buy either the case or the hard drive next. I got an ssd drive but need a main one. I'm thinking 3tb and maybe western digital. Any recommendations?

You can't go wrong with Western digital
Seagate is hit or miss
