Use tax is one of those things that almost no one does personally, even if an individual gets audited I doubt an auditor would even bother asking you to prove that you bought everything in the state. I handle the sales&use state filings for my company and the state just trusts that you’re telling the truth until you…

Can’t edit, I meant gun retailers in this instance.

If only gun manufacturer’s could be sued. This guy was checked into a psychiatric hospital and had alarming behavior, and this was not hearsay, but this was all court documented, and he was STILL able to purchase the handguns in Maryland.

Correct. You are grandfathered in based on what you paid for (mine expires this January and can still get the 20% until then), but as of a few months ago you could no longer join or extend it.

Honestly, ever since the end of Best Buy’s GCU, which was much better priced at $30 for two years of 20% off all new games (not just pre-orders, and stacks with most sales), I’m heavily tempted to go full digital with my videogames going forward. I don’t think I’ve had someone borrow a game of mine since 2011, and…

Yup, I saw him live at MAGFest 13.  He’s a DJ.  It was amazing.

Please tell me he’s back to do the soundtrack.

AMD said they’re working on ray tracing too.  Maybe the tech won’t be exactly the same but it’d be silly if consoles 2 to 3 years from now are not capable of using this kind of tech.

I highly recommend those Bose headphones if you need something to comfortably wear for 8 hours a day. I don’t know how I lived without them for seven years in this noisy office. They will not “mute” all sound around you, but it will significantly dampen it.

Yeah the convenience factor is much bigger than people admit. It’s strange but I’m more likely to switch to another game if it’s already on my Switch rather than getting up and putting in another cart. All my games on PC are digital on an SSD and it’s great.

Of course there are downsides. Hard drive space is much more…

With all these programs ending, especially Best Buy’s GCU 20% off ANY game, there’s little reason for me to not go full digital with my game collection going forward.

Right? I was blown away that every person I’ve talked to thinks you can write off your mortgage interest AND take a standard deduction. One of my coworkers that owns a home said, “oh, okay, well I just do TurboTax and fill out their questions.”

Nope, Pennsylvania burbs.

I’m an accountant, been filing my own taxes since I was 15. As with most people lucky enough to not have special circumstances, I admit that my taxes are going down slightly compared to 2017, assuming I take the standard deduction. But, had I been able to take the same itemized deductions in 2018 that were previously a…

Of course I decide to finally stop renting and buy a home, and now there’s no point in itemizing over taking the standard deduction. Everyone’s like “OMG buy a home you can write off the mortgage insurance and real estate taxes.” Not if the standard deduction is $12,000 and I can no longer write off state and local…

Right my bad, but yeah I was just making sure others understood that going from 1080p to 1440p takes more power than one might imagine. The PS4Pro is roughly twice as powerful as a PS4, and the result in a lot of cases is that a 1080p 30fps game is instead at 1440p 30fps (with tricks to make it checkerboard). A 1080…

Maybe it was at 1080p at IGN. Remember 1440p is double the pixels of 1080p.

You... don’t have to. It’s up to you. But think of it more like the option to double the graphical output IF you upgrade frequently, which is essentially what the PS4 Pro did for PS4 games. 1080p at60FPS or 1440p @ 30 FPS instead of 1080p @ 30FPS
Most people wait many many years to get a new card, which is fine, but I…

Also, you can continue to play at the bleeding edge for not a whole lot of money. Approximately every two years, when a new Nvidia Ti card comes out, you buy it brand new and sell your last Ti card. For the difference of about $300 every two years, you can essentially always have a new console twice as powerful of…

This describes me pretty accurately. I got into PC gaming (and even PCs, I was a Mac user) in late 2015 and now I have become like every PC gamer enthusiast before me, trying to convince others to give it a shot. I was playing FPS games at 30 FPS with a right analog stick for 15 years just fine, and now I’m like…
