Re: Descent 1 - Full game on insane (deadless)

The dedication, memory and raw skill on display in this video is truly an amazing feat! Well done!

I don't think I could have come close to pulling off something like that even in my prime.

Let me know if you want a custom title here, I'd say you have definitely earned one.

Re: The Prez, Vice Prez and Speaker of the House walk into a bar….

Democrats have frequently promised to do things and then actually done them. Most of the time they come up short is when they invariably try to work across the aisle with Republicans in the name of bipartisanship and end up passing some half-ass measure filled with conservative poison pills everyone ...

Re: Did you vote?

Concentrating into the blue states will have no significant impact either way on the EC once the next census adjusts the number of representatives. It isn't strictly the popular vote, but it can't entirely escape the popular vote either.

Re: Any recommendations for a new video card?

A couple things to note then, if your monitor has VRR (g-sync compatible) support, then if you get a nvidia GPU you will need to plug the monitor in via display port. Nvidia does not do VRR over HDMI. AMD GPUs will do VRR over HDMI but it is not as good or reliable as the DP implementation. (AMDs ...
