    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - $6.74 @ GoG

    We've been talking about this game for a while, especially because the third game in the series was cancelled. DX:MD is an... imperfect game. The story is missing a lot as the intention was the third title would wrap it up. But what it does have is an immense amount of art and game design...

    Monitor stands with fully articulating arms?

    I can't find what I'm looking for. I need a monitor stand (rests on a desk without a clamp) with ergonomic fully articulating arm(s). Closest I could find is this: https://a.co/d/8o1dfHK The issue with this is that I'm going to need the Z-height to go negative. The stand will be placed on a...

    NordVPN vs SurfShark - Security, compatibility, speed

    Basically just want to know which VPN I should go with here. Right now Surfshark basic is $1.99 a month (on sale right now for Cyberweek). Nord basic is $2.69 (through their retention guy trying to get me back, otherwise $2.99). I'm thinking of going with Surfshark just to save the money, or...

    Does Steam Deck certified ‘work’ through GoG or other launchers?

    I think I know the answer already, and that it's "yes", but if I purchase a game through GoG or another launcher, I can get the same level of compatibility on that title regardless of launcher correct? There is no difference between say Cyberpunk on Steam vs GOG that affects compatibility (or...

    Valve Steam Deck OLED!

    Big enough deal I think to mention in News. NEW!: https://youtu.be/9jhRh11bTRA?feature=shared https://youtu.be/nfulSFtsH0c?feature=shared My thoughts? Getting a machine that adds continuity to previous gens and keeping them relevant. And increasing battery life and power savings with a...

    Resident Evil Village and RE:4 Remake for iOS/macOS

    I'm in the greater Los Angeles area (91711), and prefer to deal locally in cash (as it gives assurances to both me and the buyer), but will ship if you want to pay fees and shipping costs (Apple Pay, Venmo). Not looking for any trades at this time. SOLD ITEMS AMD Radeon VII - 16GB - $300...

    DEAD - Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition @ Steam - $17.99

    Now that Baldur's Gate 3 has shined a light on Larian, DoS2 is a way for people who want more of a similar experience. It's for me, one of the best games I've ever played. Steam has the game on sale now for $17.99 again! And if you want to get more info, for some reason the last time I posted...

    iOS 17 released today (if you haven’t been getting spammed about it enough on every social media platform)

    iOS 17 dropped today at 10:00 AM PST. I updated both of my devices since they are newer in their life cycler and not older. Most importantly my 12.9” iPad Pro 6th Gen (M2, if that makes knowing that easier). iPadOS got a bunch of updates to make the usability better, and I’ve been using this...

    Best option for <$200 spinner?

    Honestly, I would just send SamirD a PM, but he has that off in his settings, so I can't. But I'm looking to buy 2x spinning rust large capacity drives with a price ceiling of $200 a pop (redundancy). Samir is useful because he knows the best options at any given time for refurbished drives...

    Panasonic S5 II

    My very short commentary is: if you haven't sworn allegiance to another camera system, this is a very compelling option from Panasonic. Although their AF isn't as good as Sony, they're offering 5.8 (6k) internal recording in 10-bit, V-Log, best in class image stabilization, in a very compact...

    Is there a RAID 1 DAS enclosure w/ NVME slot?

    Pretty much the OP. But for clarification, I'm looking for a DAS that supports 2x 3.5" drives and 1x NVME. I would prefer it to be Thunderbolt 3. But USB 3.2 Gen 2 would also be 'okay'. The application is I do video editing, RAID 1 is obviously for redundancy. The NVME slot, would hopefully...

    Maxed out 2019 15.4” MacBook Pro - $2800

    I took a bath on valuation after the 16” models dropped. I originally spent over $4000 on this laptop. Planning on moving to ARM, but for those that need compatibility, this is an excellent option. It's my primary computer and has spent a good chunk of its life on my desk attached to an eGPU...

    Where to get Vega?

    Most places are out of stock and/or super overpriced. But the used market is just even worse.
