Huskybot's next gaming rig, Crowdsourcing information,
Thinking of doing a dual motherboard setup for doing streaming.
Other identified constraints:
-AMD processor
-nVidia graphics card
-VR capable
-Side Window in case
-AIO liquid cooler
-More RGB than is reasonable or tasteful. Would like to get RGB motherboard edge/backlight, but certainly accents on MB.
-Budget is approximately $3,000USD.
I''m having a hard time sifting through just what is actually good/high end, and I'm worried I've been priced out of what used to be my bread and butter: building my own rig.
If I have to get a pre-built, I will. but given my choice, i'd much rather build my own. Can someone help me find a good MB/CPU combo?
@Taris Ooooh my sexy husky girl, pretty girl,
When you gonna turn into a
GIANT ROBOT?!
Hull breach! (CW: Covid-19 Vaccine Update ++)
Second shot received yesterday. only side effects are soreness in the muscle. Happy to have my papers in my purse where they belong. Please get your shots as soon as you can. I know there's dumb things being done that are out of all our control. Work through that shit and get the stick when you can. We got this!
@zx3 I want him in the games until he dies playing.
Working for the Building People, 1.5 weeks update (~, long, talking about the orthosona's new job.)
Okay! now that orientation is out of the way and I don''t have to sit through introductory classes on "how to be a team player" or "The theory of good IT support" where we learn about the company values and why updating tickets and being honest with users is a good idea, how're things going?
Kind of mixed.
-I still don't have access to some tools. This is nothing new and happens with every job, so NBD.
-I'm going to be iffy and asking for verification on workflows for the next month or two. This is apparently expected behavior, and my predecessor and _his_ new boss are fully expecting him to be distracted by helping me get fully up to speed.
-I'm probably not going to get to slack off like I did with the River Tribe (the last 3 months notwithstanding). There are a lot of disconnected moving pieces I'm going to have to work fast to keep up in the air while I'm building the automation underneath them so I don't have to think fast anymore. And I don't know how they are all shaped yet, how fast they are going, and what breaks when they land. All things that I usually find out about when I fuck up. Trying to not have that happen this time, but its kind of inevitable. It is on my to have as much of my ass covered
-My new boss is probably going to be a hardass that I'm going to end up avoiding as much as possible until we figure out how to work together. He demanded I remove my N7 icon from visibility cause it wasn't professional, even though its basically my look and how i choose to be recognized and be available to anyone who needs me. Whatever. Its just a picture, and I've got it everywhere else!
My lack of attention span bit me last week, though, as I was on ZOOM meetings all day. going over things that are perfectly comprehensible from the intranet documentation. And my fidget cube fell out of my pants, and so maybe I was on my phone while I should've been staring at the glowing webcam dot. In my defense:
All that training could've been an email.
SEA Area, Re-asking for rec (CW: oral hygiene)
A few months ago, i was complaining about my dentist and someone following me gave a rec for a different one to try and I lost the link.
I've got dental anxiety and need a lot of work, possibly full bridges/surgery and don't want to be aware for any of it.
Can whomever it was re-send? Thank you!
@starkatt normally, I'd agree with you, but Fall Out Boy was playing in the weed store and I decided to shitpost about it.
@fluxom_alt a triple scoop for a threesome? Deal.
@fluxom_alt what flavor and how much?

The Building People (+,+)
In my last 2 weeks of working for the River Tribe, I was courted by a recruiter for the Building People, who needed a IT Field Engineer. I adjusted my resume twice, had a web meeting with the recruiter, a phone screen, a technical, and an in-person on Friday.
I did make it home before the recruiter contacted me to let me know there was an intent for job offer, pending the return of the office admin on Monday.
So, instead of the month's long job hunt agony, I have a short 2 week break pending paperwork and unemployment.
I have been sobern't all weekend in celebration, but will be taking some time to notice how things were different from my past experiences, and being grateful for the change.
Musical Opinion Shitpost. Personal Musical History
So...
The Coming Out of Their Shells album from the Ninja Turtles has 10 tracks. 8 of them are bops at minimum, and 6 of those are just for-real bangers. There's only 2 that don't really activate me, but shit, they're probably gonna work for someone.
There's a lot of really good and fun lyrics. The one track that might give some people issue is "Walk Straight", cause they keep repeating the line "verb straight" but its more about sticking to your own path, ideals, and goals rather than mutating yourself to fit in. It's not about forcing an orientation on kids.
Favorite Tracks:
Pizza Power
No Treaties
Sing About It
