some nice stuff in there

hah so instead I ordered a Seiko Baby Ice Monster. $140 inc tax/shipping.
Starting to build a small collection of Seikos, they are hard to beat for price v. quality

I feel I need to at some stage own a Rolex for a bit. It's like how all car people should have a Porsche for a while.

I'm still not overly sold on their value, but I know their build quality is excellent. The looks I'm "shrug" on as so many other things look similar these days

If you want a weird, but fun game, Breathedge is pretty cool. It's still early in it's life though, but I'm having fun (esp. with the immortal chicken!)

hmm 2080 & Ti reviews are out.

2080 is basically the same as a 1080Ti on current games, but with less VRAM. Note: none of the new fancy games seem to have been tested so I would expect the 2080 to perform better

2080Ti crushes everything, but man, that price of 1200+ is a bit crazy.

I am waiting to see how the EVGA 2080 Ti cards do

I love it!

Kickstarted it back in the day. I've yet to replace the keys, they are great so no real push

this has become my daily driver now

$5 shipping to the uk. not sure on the taxes though...

oh nm, sold out. Why have "add to cart" when the damn think is sold out ... grrr...

I am glad I did my degree before 1998, so it was "free" (no loans etc..). If I was doing it now, I'd probably just skip and go heavy on my own learning of technology (or do some guild type thing).

Fear The Wolves early access tmrw!

I'll probably get this, like a mash of PUBG and Stalker

It's normally the provider trying to update the phone settings for things like internet / mobile etc..

@übé®_grübé® Try a Win10 recovery USB key. seems to fix most things
I believe all you need to do is build a windows 10 usb install stick, and there's an option for repair.

heh I bought one recently, it's pretty much my daily driver watch now. Was a chunk more than 379 AUD, was $355 usd (so 480 AUD).

Really really love it though

I forgot who wanted the Hamilton Air Zermatt limited edition, but I did find a shop with one in stock (or at least they claim to have one). I don't totally trust this as the AZ one had only 50 for sale in CH, yet they say 1918 number run. The 1918 number is actually for the non-AZ special edition (not limited).

really tempted by the new Surface Go. My tablet had to be rooted to get 5Ghz and is now stuck on an unpatched Android from last year (can't even get back to stock, but huawei don't do updates for it anyway).

10" running proper windows 10, with USB C for $549 (8Gb ram, 128Gb SSD) is very tempting.
There's a deal on the Surface Pro 12.3" with i5, but that's just back into laptop... I want a tablet that can in a pinch be a laptop

without a doubt, ages ago I bought a Bergeon 6767-F due to constantly changing watch straps. Also the fact that my Orient Mako 2 has curved spring bars which made it a bastard to replace.

I found this eventually:

https://justasmallblog.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/how-to-resize-a-seiko-collar-and-pin-watch-band/

I had thought the collar went in one of the outsides, and the pin went through the other. I could not get the collar to go in, so kept googling.

So, I put the collar in the middle part of the links, then holding the watch strap together force the pin back in. Helped to have a bit of metal to push the pin back in as it takes some force.

hah yeah once I worked out how the collar pins go, it was very easy. At least these ones fit on the middle of the link, rather than the outside. There was nothing at all in the book on how to do it!

@spunk_nautical I am really happy with it, looks better in person!

So, wasn't planning it but bought a Seiko Padi Samuri (SRPB99). The one I got is a Japanese one, however I don't think they make any other version.

Really loving it, but god damn you Seiko for stupid collar pins in bracelet!

I am at like 98% not sure what I'm missing.
Really enjoyed the DLC though, esp. the last one with the dead rising (it's a bit silly but fun)

I think I'm just not good at games with limited resources. I switched it down to easy last night and doing a lot better.

finally finished HZD: Frozen Wildlands and AC: Origins.

Now trying my 4th go at playing The Last Of Us. For some reason I find it really difficult compared to other games

I have a Hamilton Pan Europ which is my daily driver. I love it, but mine has a very minor flaw (the bezel does not totally line up at the noon mark). That said, got it half price, figure that's ok.

The insides are all solid, being actually a Swatch owned company. Parts / labour etc.. should be relatively cheap.

grr fucking Android wifi.

Connecting. Saved. Connecting. Saved.

No log files that are easily accessed, so I have no clue what's wrong. It doesn't say wrong username/password/EAP/domain or anything. Just keeps repeating that cycle for ever.

Metro 2033 / Last Light are great. Make sure to play the redux versions. They are on rails to a degree, but the story / game play is fun. I cannot wait for Metro Exodus
