CIPWTTKT&GC V44 - Vega Appreciation Station - Hardware & Software

[I]Woooo![/I] finally ordered my GTX 980 TI. Like-new condition STRIX card with all the accessories for $350. $50 more than I wanted to pay, really, but it's still better than a 1070, and I get to use VGA output.

dude what

[QUOTE=Brt5470;52769707]dude what[/QUOTE] I was playing Warframe and got super mad at a mission and made a bad decision that I regret and am very ashamed of. I feel like such a piece of shit right now.

I used to have major issues like that, broke many mice. Giving in and breaking it only made it worse in the long run. I will sometime slap my desk while I'm playing OW when I'm flabbergasted at how we lost a fight.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;52769798]Dude invest in some optically bound tempered glass for your next display An iMac also does the trick[/QUOTE] I feel like a better solution is to not get mad at video games. I'm 24 years old and getting married in 2 days, I have no excuse for having such awful behavior.

I Just ramble incoherently and/or shitpost on the internet as a venting method. MUCH more healthy.

[QUOTE=Van-man;52769810]I Just ramble incoherently and/or shitpost on the internet as a venting method. MUCH more healthy.[/QUOTE] PMA streams on twitch helped me with that. Just softly say "Feels...BadMan" and "We'll get em next time team!" Then your team tilts more.

I luckily mostly got over my tendency to smash things when I was mad. I still occasionally slam my fist on my desk but I've learned not to vent my anger on mice/keyboards/monitors/controllers :v: :dogchill:

I just slap my leg or something, or stomp.

Yeesh, you guys, I just cry with stuff like that. Violence isn't healthy :s:

[QUOTE=wingless;52769935]Yeesh, you guys, I just cry with stuff like that. Violence isn't healthy :s:[/QUOTE] I cried for like 15 minutes after it happened, does that count?

I think it's time to stop gaming for a while.[/QUOTE] that's actually a really cool pattern. how much do you want for that monitor lol i want to buy older monitors to do stupid shit w/ but they overcharge for them at the local salvation army and i'm not sure where to find the ones people toss out.

I rarely hit, but if I do; it's something solid and replaceable. So peripherals never get damaged, usually it's my chair's arm or my desk.

I keep slamming my fist into my keyboard... I had to buy another set of keycaps, but somehow the keyboard still lives you go G710+ also the amount of times I've had to pick up said keycaps from the floor is shameful

[QUOTE=Protocol7;52769954]I cried for like 15 minutes after it happened, does that count?[/QUOTE] That's what usually happens to me when I have a some kind of emotional breakdown. I'll get pissed, do something stupid, then just cry for 15 minutes and feel like shit for the rest of the day. It sucks..

I either try to not get mad or when something dumb pisses me off, I just slap my thighs. Much more fun and the harder you hit, the less you want to get mad again.

It's basically unusable aside from maybe the top left corner. It's also 27" and will be a pain in the ass to ship.

Hey, can anyone here who's good with wireless/cell signals hop on Steam/Discord/Telegram and help me pick out an antenna for my 4G modem? I've got moldy asshole for signal where I live, it varies wildly from 20mbit to 0.6mbit.

I broke a heatsink fan last night on one of my computers. Not intentionally it was an open chassis and I was trying to move around a SSD and wham! SATA cable landed right in the fan and snapped a fin off. As long as it's not under a lot of load it still keeps it cool...

[QUOTE=Van-man;52770240]cheap fan spinning at full speed + rigid cable moved right into it.[/QUOTE] Depends on your definition of cheap. It was a zalmon heatsink/fan.

I'm working like crazy all day and still moving somewhat so I won't be very responsive but I can help when I can.

[QUOTE=Van-man;52770240]cheap fan spinning at full speed + rigid cable moved right into it.[/QUOTE] I assumed the fan wasn't spinning tbh. I can see how a spinning fan would get broken.
