  • I just turned 40 earlier this year (last year for some by now?) and I know and seen all of these shows back in the early 90s, maybe late 80s. There wasn’t too much to watch back then, and reruns were always on at night. I know I have seen all the popular stuff from back then, probably not much of the lesser known stuff.






  • I can assure you I am not lying. I do use FSR or XeSS which helps a ton with performance and freesync enabled with my monitor. Cyberpunk 2077 is probably one of the most taxing games I play and use XeSS with that one and everything else set to max without Ray tracing of course and I get just under 60fps in most areas and over 60fps in buildings. I’ll attach a pic of the in game test it can perform.

  • I believe about $300 for an AMD RX480 (great card and still going strong). This time I had a bit more money and wanted something more powerful. I went with the AMD 7800 XT Nitro ($550) which I got on release day. Sure it’s not top of the line but it has played pretty much everything I throw at it with all settings set to max and still maintaining 60fps or above. I have an UW monitor with its max resolution being 5120x1440 which is what most games will play at and everything still plays fine. It’s almost crazy to me that this card would be considered mid range.




  • As someone who was 24 at the time, and probably the perfect age to buy one if it was my parents’ generation, I was nowhere near ready to buy a house still… honestly, 23-30 were the best years of my life, then I got married and brought one in 2014, which was still semi decent to buy at the time. It was super hard, though, and I have no idea how all these people today are somehow paying above asking price in cash or getting mortgages paying crazy amounts over asking with these interest rates! Either I did things completely wrong in life or these bad decisions people are making today will come full circle a few years from now.
