Archivist during the Day and a Writer at Night. I also dabble in computers, both retro and modern, as well as video games. I often like to hold up neat looking potatoes and talk about them at length to anyone who will listen, because they're neat! 🍉
I was opening a can of crushed pineapples the other night, and the ring came off as I was trying to pop it open. Unfortunately, the can was too awkward to use a can opener... but, luckily, I had a pen knife, my good man!

Ten years ago, I left console gaming behind as I built my first proper gaming PC, for many reasons, but mostly to play this one upcoming game whose trailer got me so very hyped.
After numerous delays, and three gaming PCs later, I'll finally get to play Routine tonight.
Good or bad, I'm just glad.

It's something that I've been trying to work through in therapy. Years of being crushed down into a pre defined box, meant to feel shame for enjoying what I like openly, afraid to show off any of my creative endeavors, so I've just become a bit of an emotionless gray rock.
Basically, this comic.

John Ratzenberger as Bill Towner, "Electrician & Adventurer," in House II has got to be one of my favorite side characters in a movie.

Yeah, something was definitely up with that 2680, because the 2690 is having no issues whatsoever, both in seeing all the RAM and its performance is better too, whereas the 2680 was sluggish for some reason.

I mean, only getting 24GB of RAM out of the 32GB installed isn't the end of the world for me, as of my current needs for now, but even still... would be nice!
Either way, going from 6 Cores/12 Threads to 14/28 sure feels nice regardless!

"Whats your favorite flavor of fruit pie?"
"Ninja Turtle!"
"... I don't think those have any actual fruit in them?"
"Maybe not, but they are GREEN and have PUDDIN' POWER!"
