Jesus Christ, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a complete time suck.

Are you playing right now?

Are you playing right now?

I'm taking a break. I've been playing since like 10am.

I can't stream it for some reason. Every time I do, the stream footage freezes. Like, the webcam still works just fine, but the game is just frozen on stream even though it's playing just fine.

It does demand a fair amount of memory to run. The thing is a hog even by today's standards I am pretty sure.

Monk's is still as popular as ever. The OG craft beer bar.

Haven't been around 47th in Baltimore in a decade

That's the problem with Monk's. Always fuckin' packed and everything is squished in. If you're ever in the mood for Ethiopian then Dahlak is a great place. Ambiance ain't all that, but the food was consistently top-notch.

This place was great too. Worth the Sunday lunch pilgrimage we'd regularly make from Lansdowne. Hard part was driving home while desperately feeling the need to nap.

The Churrasco Argentino ruled. Interestingly enough it comes as both an entre and a side. Steaks were the same size, but the side didn't come with all the rice and beans. So I'd get the Camarones Al Ajilo (shrimp in garlic butter) with a side of Churrasco. The chimichurri and habanero salsa for the steak were soooo good.

I don't think it was that. Even when I dropped all the graphics as low as possible, it had the exact same problem. It wasn't dropping frames or lagging. Just... frozen on the screen.

@Rebelfett did you see Kerlivet wrestled against Maryland the other night?

Big10s is going to be stacked at HWT, I know your dude Luffman is supposed to be a stud as well

That's fucking weird.

I know the times I stream I struggle to keep a good frame-rate/buffer/it not stutter but I'm running everything wirelessly through my Xbox so I don't even have a dedicated stream deck which is great for it to be a jumbled mess.

Still good enough for @Rebelfett to talk shit on me lol.

Speaking of, every time you say "serpentine" Rebel I was thinking of this scene for some reason:


"Run in a straight line, you'll live longer"

I might try streaming it again tomorrow. We'll see.

Crow tiiiiiime motherfuckers.

 

[irish_thug]

I'll guess and say I have 1

One. In 2017

 

[irish_thug]

Crow tiiiiiime motherfuckers.

Nope. I've lost track of how many eggs those motherfuckers have stolen from me. Ive seen them come hopping out of the coup, gently holding an egg in their beaks.

I'd walk right up to my rooster and say " what the hell am I paying you for? "

@weed

hmm what's your budget?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

hmm what's your budget?

This is where I'm at. Thanks

Under $1k
13-15 inches
No real preference but I'm most familiar with Windows.

oh damn, under 1k pretty much means you can pick and choose what you want
I figured you meant under $300 for something cheap

Bigger screen then you wanted but it is a nice laptop and $200 off the price

Thanks, the last time I bought a computer they were cheaper than cell phones... I'm flying completely blind now lol

 

[weed]

This is where I'm at. Thanks

haha the Gangster is right - if you're shooting for under $1K you're good.

you're looking to buy brand new, not used/custom or refurbs right?

I wouldn't be against used or refurbs but I thought they were more expensive so I'll probably go with new unless there is a reason not to....

Also..... this might be dumbest question but is a Geek Squad protection plan worth it or is all of that stuff covered by a warranty?

Thanks again.

I kinda wouldn't mind living within walking-distance of Monk's. Can't remember the name of the area. Or near Dahlak. Gotta have a good bar to be a regular at.

Damn that Monk’s menu looks amazing

edit: and now I see the Tierra Colombiana place with all the arepas, empanadas and mofongos... awesome. My son would be in heaven that’s his favorite stuff

@Gregolian

The only thing that could make it better is Suh teabagging Aaron Rodgers lmaooooo
