my pops was bi-polar and did not get diagnosed until i was in my late teens / early 20's.
i am convinced that seeing his wild mood swings made me suppress my emotions.
i don't let myself get to happy, sad, angry or excited...this was a point of contention between me and my girl for many years.

when we had an argument, i would never get furious.
when something good happened, i would not jump up and down.

i didn't want to let my emotions control me so i put them in a box and kept it moving.

my mom wanted me to see a shrink because she was concerned about me never being angry....i dunno...people are weird.

Yeah, that is kinda why I don't wanna have kids. My mood swings and severe depression can't be good for a child. Bi-polar is hard, both for the individual, and the ones around him or her. I've lost so many girls cuz of my bi-polar. My last girl, who I'm still in love with (), said she just couldn't take it. She acknowledged that it was selfish on her part, but it was what it was.

I'm pretty stable now with the myriad of drugs they got me on, but sometimes I get into a manic or depressed state. I can hide it at work (most of the time), but I can't hide it from a girlfriend.

So everything came

First off I got this:

But you might say, that's just a normal 27" monitor Cig? What's the big deal?

Well, let's look at it closer

Spoiler

But, how are you gonna run a game when you gotta push over 14 million pixels?

Well....

Spoiler

Now to set this up and play at this outrageous resolution

Yup, I'm gonna put my old 1080s in my other machine and use my ultrawide with it.

So my motherboard died, and now I found out that if you replace the motherboard on a HP computer then your copy of Windows is no longer valid unless you buy an exact replacement.

The only exact replacement I can find is $200 for the most basic board ever

They are selling entire new computers with the same i5 I have for $200. So I'm just gonna buy the new PC.

Now I'm gonna have an extra i5 CPU. Is there any web site I can easily sell or trade it at? Don't want to go through the trouble of eBay or Craigslist.

So after playing around with 5K (I gotta return the monitor though, cuz it has a weird yellow tint on the right side. My luck, which is typical )

1080p:
1440p:

4K:

5K:

At 5K, shyt is so crisp, it's unbelievable. You can definitely tell the difference from 1440p. shyt looks fukking unbelievable. Retina display X 1000

 

[Ciggavelli]

5K Witcher 3

shyt is running near 60 fps and the colors are unbelievable (especially in Trousannt). just

first time i read this i thought you said your mother died and then started complaining about your laptop...i was like

 

[Ciggavelli]

So 5K is actually harder to run than 3*1440p (more pixels, if you do the calculation)

These new Titans X Ps can handle it though
