So, I finally gave in and bought me one of them there gaming mice since I needed a new mouse anyhow. Nothing fancy, just a budget one, but still one nonetheless.

 

 

I mean, even though I used to bag on them, I kinda like this one a bit. >w>

 

Not sure if it's actually worth anything, but for a replacement mouse and only spending 25 total (13 on the mouse and two day shipping), I can't really complain.

So, I finally gave in and bought me one of them there gaming mice since I needed a new mouse anyhow.

 

I thought about getting a gaming monitor. That alone costs $400-$700. Replacing the other two monitors could cost anywhere from $250-$500 more.

 

I once had a gaming mouse. It broke.

 

I'm thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a GTX 970. That's a bit more manageable at about ~$320.

 

I've already replaced the stock cooler with something bigger and thermodynamically cooler. That cost about ~$40.

 

I've rearranged and replaced many a fan in my machine and more have started to break down.

 

I thought about getting a mechanical keyboard. Still thinking about going forward with that.

 

I've never had a hard drive larger than 150GB in my computer.

 

My current monitors right now cost about $150 in total, all three of them, but the total viewing space is still insufficient. My 6-speaker sound system had no cost to it at all (5.1 surround sound). My humongo work desk cost $20, plus cost of materials to repair it. It's physically bigger than my bed.

 

I went from using a K120 Logitech keyboard for 2 and a half years to replacing it with an identical keyboard for a fraction of the $12 it originally cost for the first one.

 

Guess the resolution of my current monitor setup.

Do it.

 

Do all of it.

 

And I couldnt do that, I have no clue on anything tech wise, sadly. :/

 

I'm seriously considering to go ahead and start me a gaming pc fund along with fixing my room up for it. I really need to.

I'll try to list a few things, if you don't know what they are, I'll explain it.

 

• Bunker Hill Monument
• Boston State House
• Lexington & Concord
• USS Constitution (While in repair!)
• Paul Revere Mall
• Paul Revere's Grave
• John Hancock's Grave
• Much More-

 

Yeah, I heard about most of those in US history. Although... Pall Revere has a mall named after him?

Also:

Posting status updates? (puts a @CinnamonPop)

 

Oops, just read the status updates, redact anything else I said. Yeah, we do need her! D:

You know... You could've just asked me to be here...

Lotsa things are named after the founding fathers and significant figures of history; we have a frickin' freeway named after Columbus. It's called Interstate 10 (for California), but we never pay much respect to people like Tesla (modern day alternating current electric grid and wireless electricity guy)... Or Eratosthenes (found the circumference of the world thousands of years ago guy).

 

Also, I thought that screenshot was Freneskae (Runescape reference).

You're an audiophile. What do you think of me scavenging the 5.1 surround sound system from the garage and reusing it as my compute's sound system? (Because I did exactly that.)

 

I'm more an oculophile (if that makes sense). I gotta find the best possible combination of cost effectiveness and absolute monitor specifications. That means that my central monitor has to be replaced with a 2560×1440 monitor and, if possible, the two side monitors (currently at 1366×768) also replaced with 1920×1080 monitors. And that's not to mention my storage problems...

Mall, as in a region in a city.

 

Not a shopping mall.

I don't understand.

You make a very good point. If I ever get the chance to name something, I'll make sure to name it after a famous mathematician or scientist!

Oh. Okay.

That's very flattering! Freneskae looks like a lovely place to visit, with the blasted, ruined landscape. 

 

But no, this is a dimension I created to be the perfect paradise for me!

Hello, AI. I see you've seen the picture of the dimension I made. 

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

Hello, AI. I see you've seen the picture of the dimension I made. 

 

Indeed. Nice to know that you aren't calling me Dan.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I've been trying very hard to cut back on calling you that since I know you dislike it. 

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

I didn't know you didn't like being called that, sorry.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I only dislike it when I'm not in full-on RP mode.

If I'm not acting like Dan, don't call me Dan. Simple as that.

Thank you, by the way.

Seriously though, what's the deal with airline food these days? Has anyone eaten airline food before, or is it reserved solely for First Class?

First Class I think.

 

It's all just cookies and peanuts.

Darn. I bet you get stuff like steak and filleted fish in First Class... *Stomach growls hungrily* 

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

I bet that stuff isn't actually that good.

See, you shouldn't do that. If you try food with negative preconceptions about how it will taste, then the food will alwasys taste worse then if you have positive or neutral preconceptions.

Home made Caramel Apples. Mom and I made them after picking them from a friend's tree.
First time we made them too.

Wow! Those look delicious! It's been far too long since I've eaten a good caramel apple.
