Supercrumpet

Nice, how'd you do it? I've got a couple little dents on my VW's hood from brushing a deer a while back that I've been meaning to address. I got REALLY lucky with that one.

Updated! Added! Super cool little collection you have there, really unique stuff. Likewise, I'm not familiar with any of those boards, switches, or cap sets. Always been curious about a layout like the Nico has, looks really cool but I feel like it'd take a lot of unlearning and relearning for me to get used to.

Added! Great to hear, now I definitely want one too haha.

Thanks for the tips! I've been close to looking for some since my runs mostly fizzle out at ante 5 or 6 at the latest in a really unsatisfying and often frustrating way, a surprising number of times less than a thousand off the target. I'd figured some of these over time but a few of these are good to know with your longer term experience. I haven't relied too much on adding cards to my deck since I feel like that's a fairly inconsistent way to go about things, but maybe I don't have faith that my run will last long enough to give me time to put together a better deck lol. So I typically invest heavily in two pair hands and sometimes flushes, and otherwise make small tweaks around the jokers I happen to get. I'll try the approach of tailoring a deck to 4 of a kind hands over time, that sounds interesting. Ironically I've gotten far more straights than 4 of a kind hands, but I think your argument makes a lot of sense. Good notes on card enhancements as well. I had similar feelings lol. I was introduced to Balatro by a friend who streamed himself playing it over Discord, and he said, "Oh you'll love this game, you like poker and rogue-likes (which is true) so you'll love this." My first comment within 20 seconds was, "this isn't really poker at all, is it" but it was still really intriguing so I picked it up on GMG and don't regret it.

Yeah I'm absolutely sick of the lug bolts on my Alltrack. Been taking wheels on and off on it for years and I've developed a bit of a method in which I can shuffle the tire out of the wheel well on top of one of my feet but it still sucks. I've been really tempted to buy a stud conversion kit for a long time now but it feels hard to justify the price.

I picked this up a few days ago as well. Only have 3-4 hours so far, but it's a really cool concept. Still trying to find good strategies, but I love the premise.

You know I think I typed the Gr of "gradient" and then my brain just autopiloted to the completely wrong word. Fixed lol.

Updated! Added! And added! Good on you for the 96%.

Shirt arrived for me a few days ago as well, looks great! Thanks again.

misclick quoted myself instead of editing reeee

I used a G600 for a few years, and overall I liked it. I never really used the third top button, and I only used about half of the side buttons because I didn't need them all and a lot of them were a little too uncomfortable for me to reach anyways. Nothing inherently wrong with the mouse though. It's a good value buy for sure, if you think you'll use that many side buttons. I wouldn't call it small, but it's not thing longest mouse either. Pretty medium size in that dimension, but obviously quite wide. On the other hand, they discontinued the 604 but they're still selling the 600??? come on logitech lmao

I've gone through quite a lot of mice over the past 10 years or so, and my favorite I think is the Logitech G604. Can could be found for under $60 (see note below), healthy amount of side buttons, wireless with a really long battery life, sleek and heavy. Literally everything I want in a mouse, and it caters towards my palm grip since I have fairly large hands. However, when verifying that you could still get it for $60 or so, I found out that you can't get it at all because it was discontinued over a year ago. How massively disappointing and frustrating. My favorite mouse before it was the G700S (so good pick @Avacado), and I went years before finding a replacement I really liked after it developed double click issues.

Yep, still updating it. Just very sporadically lol. Added yours, all boards welcome.

Thanks for the long post! Added to the sheet. It was interesting to see that about the stabilizers. Also I agree, a very "light" sounding click, really makes the sound of the spacebar stand out a lot. I like the cap set too, it's not my style but there's something satisfying about those relaxed colors.

Thank you indeed to everyone that participated, helped organize, and contributed to prizes! Congratulations to all of the winners.

Not sure if it's legit, but it certainly is interesting. New Stacker 830 up for sale via an OCN thread. https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-cm-stacker-830-fan-club.469119/page-6#replies

Very cool, curious about their stuff. I don't think I've heard of them before. Curious indeed about your feedback, but I'll put them on my mental radar for sure.

Awesome milestone! Good to still see you around.

Saw this news a few days ago and FINALLY indeed! I haven't installed GeForce Experience in years and used the control panel minimally. Seconding what @Monsterkater mentioned though, app overhauls always have that potential to make things a little more roundabout to access at the same time, though I'm sure it will be a net positive.

Ah, I appreciate it lol. May pass it on regardless if luck is in my favor.

Looks like a fun board! Honestly the colored translucent case looks better than I would have expected with lighting. Great layout too. Added! Also looks good with the blue lighting. Stickers aren't my style, but it's a cool theme, and the blue/white isn't too common I feel but it looks refreshing. Go for it if it wouldn't be to much trouble, I'm always a fan of documenting stuff (contrary to my habits of always forgetting to do so for my own stuff). Sorry for the much belated replies as always. Hopefully it's not too much of a surprise coming from me.

Well, this is what I get for not keeping up with EHW regularly. Only just found this thread, a whopping one hour before the event ends. So uh... In? (CptAsian as always, been folding 24/7 as usual.) Obviously won't be eligible for prizes, but that's honestly a good thing. I already have more tech stuff lying around than I know what to do with currently, and the nice stuff on offer would be more useful to others. Glad to see the strong turnout!

Oh, just to update this thread again on the off chance anyone else comes by with something similar. The USB issue fixed itself the next time I shut down and moved the PC, so it's been back to working normally for the past month and a bit, fortunately. I did check on the warranty, and it was just about to run out, but I couldn't find any clear cut information on a replacement or anything. The intermittence of the issues I was having didn't give me enough confidence to try to get a replacement or anything in time.

Whoops, I totally forgot to check this out in time! Thanks for setting up the giveaway regardless lol.

Interesting, and I agree in the sense that it feels a little premature to make the jump to another major OS revision without developing 11 further - 11 will have felt really short lived to me if things pan out on this timeline. But yes, definitely interested to see what actually gets confirmed here.
