PS4 actually did quite well by the look of it, came out on 2013 in the top 10 of console sales all time. Wouldn’t have figured

MarkyMark 11-29-2023 05:32 PM

Games take forever to make now so you're lucky if your favorite blockbuster game comes out once every console generation. If GTA 6 comes out in a couple of years GTA 7 won't drop until years into PS7 territory.

Instead Sony is giving us Remasters of games like The Last of Us 2 that already looked great and isn't even that old, wtf are you remastering lol

Badhobz 11-29-2023 05:34 PM

remake xenogears you pussys!! then ill buy your console no questions asked.

Speaking of The Last of Us. Season one was filmed in the Calgary area. Season Two will be filmed, for the most part, in the Vancouver aea. Bringing in a shit load of money and much needed jobs (now that the writers strike is over, things are looking up). I should try to get a gig as an extra..............

You don't want to be an extra on Last of Us. My friend worked on Season 1 and is prepping to work on Season 2 now that the strike is over. He was telling me what a shit job it was for the extras. Standing around all day waiting, barely making any money.

I picked up a kindle white paper for Black Friday. What a neat e reader. I should have bought this long time ago. I devoured a ww2 book last night in 2h and I’m totally hooked.
It’s like having a pocket paper back that’s light and easy to carry.

Was he a Non-union extra? because they'll be paid hourly. Whereas, if he was part of the union he'd get a minimum 8 hours at 232.42.

Nah, he works for the production crew. He was telling me about the extra's though.

Did anybody head out for Boxing Day today?
Metrotown seemed busier than Black Friday surprisingly.
Deals were pretty garbage, but still managed to pick up a few shirts from Zara.
Thinking of doing the rest of my shopping online.

keifun 12-26-2023 04:56 PM

I went to Coquitlam centre today instead of Metro and the big crowds there. It was ok, not super packed. Got myself a laptop at Best Buy. $200 off

N.V.M. 12-26-2023 06:00 PM

went back to the computer store(Memory Express) to exchange my cpu and walked out of there with about $300 in savings. bad news is I spent about $2.8K, and I haven't bought a vid card yet.

MG1 12-26-2023 08:23 PM

Metrotown was a clusterfuck........... I just went through the parking lot and continued on to Lougheed Mall and Coquitlam. I think driving around Metrotown area is worse than Richmond. I blame it on Crystal Mall and all those new, young asian drivers.


I love the new A&W commercial............ two white chicks........ one chick is a new driver. Drives up on curb, misses the drive through window............ "You're such a good driver..... yes, you are..............." Imagine if the commercial used asian drivers instead. Bwahahahahaha........


Can someone upload a video of it? I can't find it. They changed the ending of the commercial. It was much funnier.

White chicks....... driving old school boat / panel wagon.


Asian kids............. driving Teslas, MB, and Porsche.

Looking for a new GPU, is $390 for a 4060 as good as it gets? ME had one for cheaper but it's out of stock nationwide.

whitev70r 12-27-2023 08:22 AM

$369 here, retail, new, sealed box. Seems legit with warranty.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...0754134845284/

EvoFire 12-27-2023 09:13 AM

^ Does seem legit, but it'll also cost me $10 of gas and an hour there and back :lol

Thanks for the link though let's see if ME or CC will price match, will be in Richmond later for lunch.

Badhobz 12-27-2023 09:15 AM

Is 4060 enough to do what you need to do ? Maybe see if you can pick up a used 3080 for cheap instead

Hondaracer 12-27-2023 10:19 AM

Air Canada has 25% off flights, snagged a couple.

Once seat selection etc. pretty much same shit as normal, paid $460 for round trip to Toronto in Feb

30 series doesn't have native dlss 3, have to use fsr 3 if frame generation is an important factor

Don't trust picking up used 30xx cards because of mining. No way to tell if the card's all used up already. I'm coming from a 1070 so it should be a good upgrade regardless
