Intel Quick sync is exactly the reason I got a NUC running an Intel as opposed to AMD.

Also, B&H in Manhattan has an insane set-up for shuttling inventory from the back to the sales register for check up.

Holy shit, Service Merchandise, that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. You just reminded me of taking the tag to the counter. Didn't circuit city also do tag pulls?

Steam Frame. Valve had a reservation sign up, they emailed people if they were in the reservation queue or not. Some people in the reservation queue are still waiting on their email to place their order.

I'd take a sharp object and write the following notes on their door:

"Hi there, I was going to write this note on paper but I didn't have any on me so I figured this was the next best option. Anywho, just wanted to let you know that your car is parked on the sidewalk and blocking people from walking safely away from the street. I know it was probably an accident, so no biggie! Just wanted to let you know for next time so you can be mindful of others. Have a great day, friend!"

Bonus points - If I have them on me, bb pellets and super glue. You take the air stem cap off their tire valve, put in a drop of super glue and then a bb pellet. Screw it back on. It will slowly leak air out overtime, and the driver will go crazy trying to figure out why that tire is slowly letter air out.

What's up with the sudden uptick in memes with this character?

I really wanted to see it in 70mm IMAX near me but it's been sold out for the next 4 weeks, including the 3am showings. It's crazy! Had to see it in the other IMAX (non-70mm).

Definitely bring ear plugs for the cave sequence

Oh wow, I didn't realize that either!

Correct, I've never done D&D in general. I've been slightly curious, but then again I get that a tabletop experience would take longer, and it seems like it could also be a frustrating experience at times.

I guess late is better than never. Have they improved the stream quality? Moonlight/Apollo was always better, and supported HDR for a while longer now.

BG3 was my first Larian game and I absolutely loathed getting into combat situations. It just took too long for the CPU to make decisions, I wish there was a fast-forward button for their turn. Overall, I didn't feel BG3 respected my time and felt I was constantly under leveled on every encounter, even on easy. Even when I returned for a 3rd attempt at the game and tried to save scum my way through, I felt it was way too slow. Never made it past act 1. I don't get the hype for it. I realize I'm in the minority with how well it scored and how much people praise it. I just don't see it nor appreciate it.

Yeah good point. I was mainly talking from the perspective of the car though. Prior to that show, no show would have dared to write that car into a story, that's how bad the Aztek reception was to my recollection. The fact that it was in the show at all made it a redemption. And the effect of it being in the show, despite it being discontinued, caused a jump in sales on the used market.
