Well this looks awesome.

I used them a lot but I don't get them much anymore. Used to get them once every 2 weeks, now it's once every few months.

I'm still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don't cost $5. Now they cost $12.

Oh I know, I'm talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I'm sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I'll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it's an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.

Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that's made its way into my apartment. Usually someone's beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.

The LEGO games were better when they didn't have any dialog. They had to be way more creative in their storytelling. I tried playing some of the newer ones and hearing actual dialog just seemed wrong.

Well now I need a 15 volume light novel series based on this. That was great.

Spectrum? I've got the same plan. Sucks because I have trouble streaming my Plex server outside of my apartment. And when I work from home uploads take forever.

Right, but that's top of the line stuff. You can easily build a PC with a 70 tier GPU for less than $1500 and you'll still have a kickass gaming PC.

The XX70 tier equivalent mountain bikes cost like $3000-$3500. I'm thinking along the lines of a Trek Remedy 7 (which is what I have), a base Santa Cruz Bronson, or a base Specialized Stumpjumper. There are plenty more but those are just 3 from some big brands.

The GPD Win isn't really the same as these though. It's trying to provide the most gaming performance possible in a tiny package. It's a premium device, rather than a tiny, budget oriented laptop.

$1500 gets you a pretty kickass gaming PC, even if it's not absolute top of the line.

In mountain biking, $1500 gets you a solid hard tail or an entry-level full suspension from a direct-to-consumer brand like Polygon if you're buying new.

From what streamers have said, turn off V-Sync and all of the depth of field options and your FPS should vastly improve.

 

I love it
