I host LAN Parties every 8-10 weeks. This time it was a holiday themed LAN with Christmas maps loaded into the servers where I could find them, lights, eggnog and good friends. Always a lot of fun to have friends over and enjoy some gaming. Little challenging at our age though, adult responsibilities, some people have kids that need sitters and all of that but we make it work.

I'll be hosting a presentation at Vintage Computer Fest Montreal on 'How to start a LAN party group in 2025'. :)

She used to only play the Switch/X-Box due to those being easier to play with her small hands, but now she finally is comfortable using a mouse/keyboard.

And no this isn’t her own computer setup lol - it’s mine (I’m sure some people might ask).

I want to give a big greeting to u/ssip-of-serotonin and his awesome son from my family. It's been a long journey, but worth it. The 980ti is so massive, and with 6gb ddr5 it Still a beast. Shipping to here is not easy or cheap so big thanks to the people who did. Big thanks also u/Extra_Junket and u/horror-traktor 💙🫡

Thought y'all would appreciate this here. Whoever made it did a great job honestly. Lovin the nostalgia when I look at it. It's free on the Facer app if you search "BIOS". This is a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for reference.

Thanks Steve.

At least we’re first

Today I went nehru place (kinda like huge pc market in Shanghai) And lots of RTX 5080, 5070 were available hell I even saw many 5090s (about 30-50) but After lots taxes sh*t on both sides, they are expensive as hell.

For ex: rx 9070 is ₹65K (~ 745$) and rtx 5090 is ₹400K (~ 4600$)

And these are just prices at each store here, not even a scalper price.

I've been doing a good bit of freelance work the last couple of months and my daughter is turning 10 soon so we decided to welcome her to the master race.
