    Yes. And that's the PC to it.



    I need some more power for Cities : Skylines. Also the new GTA is on my list which is pretty hardware hungry too.

    Sexy! What's the native resolution on the monitor?

    Yep C:S is running at about 25-30 fps on my rig, which is acceptable. I did upgrade the vid card recently.

    Which is definitely enough for me. Even on that size.

    New computer & monitor arrived. Everything runs nice and smooth. I have to get used to the huge monitor. Fan get's loud if I play C:S, the only downpoint so far.

    I would think you'd have figured out my taste in games by now.

    Timbuk startet with it! It seems C:S takes as much CPU as it can take. Currently my PC is absolutly silent.

    The acronym for counter stricke has always been CS so counter stricke source should be CS:S

    Looks like they'll actually get TPA... Dramatically increases chance of successful TPP.

    Went to the division 1b ice hockey world cup in my hometown! Was good fun, saw three entertaining matches, too bad the dutch lost 3-2 from GB. Other matches were lithouania (with a knight on a horse with a sword on the shirts!) Vs Korea (0-5), and Croatia vs Estonia (5-2).

    And!

    Local football club became national champion! Apparently the party downtown is pretty huge so going to check it out in a bit

    Yeh it's got a reputation as a destination for UK stag parties and hen parties unfortunately.

    Hopefully the places we're planning to go will be devoid of any and all Brits.

    Local pub organised a Poker Tournament tonight. I only ever normally normally play for fun but bought into this one off tournament ... and five hours later I won. Came first out of 28 players, very chuffed with that. Got a run of good luck, but also felt like it was perhaps the best I've ever played.

    I've felt pretty "happy" to get a leg up on seasons.....which meant spring maintenance in late winter. I'm also "happy" that my township/municipal waste management company is picking up lawn waste at designated intervals. Am I lucky to have the garage space....or have I paid the taxes to afford that 'luxury'?

    Also, I'm "happy" to witness the social and legislative changes over time. So many important transitions have happened during my lifetime.
