Three .
Three . It's been three . Yeah , it's been three . Yeah , welcome back to another episode . Got a lot of stuff to talk about in this episode . I think actually we do so should be a good one . I think it's . It's gonna be a lot of good shit today , I think so .
So you guys know how we start these things off , and we're gonna start with the most recent birthday girl , plexi .
What you've been up to I am just really getting back from like spending like almost a week in vegas um for my birthday , and I am also fighting a cold . So if you hear me sniffle and shit , I apologize you guys , but I am sick and we are still here , you know . Give me a little grace , thank you it was .
It was funny because I text you and I was like , hey , how's vegas ? You were like it's cold and I was like , what did you ?
I was like what did you expect ? No , no , no , no , no , okay , okay . So that whole it's cold because when I went in 2021 , it was 70 when I went .
Same time .
Same time .
Okay .
So I'm like , all right , I'm going to go to at least get some 60s , because that's what it usually is around that time of the year . I get there , it's in the 40s and 50s . My ass is freezing . But you brought stuff in case , right no well , yeah , I had , like , my north face , I had my fleece , tights and stuff like that , but it's still cold .
Like if I wanted to go somewhere cold for my birthday I could have just sat my ass at home , because it was cold here too , so like it was really cold .
It was yeah , um , actually , as we speak , it's snowing outside .
Yeah , it was snowing here too .
Oh , okay , yeah , so I don't think kids are going to be going to school tomorrow .
Oh , I still gotta go to work .
So I don't care , and I have no kids , so it's uh . But how was vegas ? I saw , you know , I saw your picture with the hello kitty joint and everything . What's the um you ?
know what did you end up doing ? Um , I guess I'll just do like a day-by-day breakdown , I guess a little yeah , yeah , there you go um . So I got there . Sunday I stayed at the um the blogio , which you know is like one the fancier hotels on the Strip . So you get there and I don't know if you ever .
You know how people with money smell Like old money .
I guess yeah .
Okay , it smelled like that in there the whole entire time .
Old money .
Like people who have more money , Not new money , old money yeah , was it nice yeah , it's really nice . It's a little like outdated oh yeah , it's not . Yeah , so it's like it's like fancy but outdated fancy , so like my room didn't have like a smart tv .
You know , like most hotels now they have like smart tvs so you can watch like youtube and like whatever this one didn't . So you know my black ass did I call . I made an order to uber eats cvs . Please rate me a case of water , some pepsis and a real coupe device , please , thank you .
And yesterday , because that was gonna be there and like oh , you stayed there .
That was the place that you stayed the whole time yeah , that's where I stayed the whole time .
I didn't like hotel hop or anything gotcha , so stayed in a hotel . So it was all right , cool , whatever . So now I have a device when I travel , in case there is not one . So did that um , and then that night walked on the strip a little bit . Uh , I don't understand why people bring their kids to vegas . It is , I guess it baffles me .
I'm just like , of all places you can take your kids , yeah , why are you bringing them to vegas ? Where you like , like it's legal to drink on the streets , you can smoke in the like casinos and everywhere you got girls . You know what they ask is out . You know you got people trying to sell you shady shit , so you want to bring your kids here .
It was just , it was weird to me anyways . So , uh , I went over to gordon ramsay burger and the fries there are like top notch , like the fries , amazing .
My burger was like that's the whole point of the damn restaurant yeah , the burger , I know right , but the fries , fries it was like truffle oil or something I don't know um , and I ordered two drinks , and those drinks were $25 each .
I was like whoa , whoa , my dreams are more than my damn food and I ordered the fuck . So that was that . And then , um , so by the time I'm walking back to like my hotel room , like and you know , at the bellagio they have like the water fountains so they go off like every hour .
So yeah , they were going off and like it's really pretty to watch like you ever stopped and watch the show at the fountain . This is really pretty . But what made it so hilarious ? It was like this little kid . I guess he had to be like between five and eight . He is doing all the TikTok dances , just dancing .
It was cute , but where in the bucket was his parents . His parents were nowhere around .
He was by himself .
I don't know where his parents were . I don't think it was by himself . I'm pretty sure they were probably around . They were not like you know how you see a , a parent . They're like real close and you could tell is that like that's their kid ? That wasn't going on , this kid . So I was like okay and um , so that was that .
And then monday , um , I had a tour plan . I was going on a pink jeep tour around the city and that was like three hours and stopped like different , like landmarks and stuff , and took pictures . And then tuesday , my birthday , yeah , my best friend flew in from california to come see me , so he caught in like nine , ten ish that morning and we went to .
First we took the monorail . I didn't even know there was a monorail and I wouldn't have known if I didn't go on that tour . But yes , vegas has like a monorail subway system kind of .
So we took that this is like it's for the experience and , um , we took that , went over to the hello kitty cafe , which I thought we were going to the actual cafe , but we just went to the pop-up , which was the same thing but like is the cafe in vegas yes , it was in the building behind us , but because we were already outside , we're just like , fuck it ,
we'll just stop at the pop-up . And so stop their pop-up . They had , like I thought it's gonna be like more options . It is like mostly drinks to get us a cafe , but wasn't like they're like donuts and other like small like things there , so I got a donut and coffee .
And then they had Hello Kitty merch , so I bought a Hello Kitty hoodie for the 50th anniversary .
That's what's up . That's cool . And then what ? What's the ? Was it a lot of people ?
No no .
Oh , okay , that's good .
And then we don't have a Raising Cane's , so I wanted to try raisin canes . Tried that wasn't bad . Wasn't bad . Sauce is kind of eh , but uh is raisin canes better than zaxby's ? No , don't do that .
No bow with tenders yeah , no , no , no , come on yeah , I don't .
I'm not big on like cajun seasonings and shit and so like this raisin canes was really good . It was like the chicken was juicy , wasn't dry , it's nicely done , nicely breaded , it's just it's not better than zaxby's zaxby's where's that ? Um , so we did that and then we went to area 15 , which is like a kind of like how to put it .
It's like it's a big adult place , a big adult playground . It's a big . So I didn't know we were going because , like , my day was already planned out . I didn't I have any say like in my day and um , but it was funny because I already been there before .
Uh , when I went out to vegas , I didn't know we're going back , but this time they had this exhibit called megamart and it's an arg . Yeah , megamart okay so it literally looks like a big ass grocery store , kind of like . I don't know if you ever watched like supermarket suite , but the game show , oh yeah , okay , okay . So it looks like that .
It looks like that yeah it is uh and um . It's basically like a arg , which is a , you know , ultimate , an augmented reality type game . The problem was that we didn't get the right tickets to do the ARG , so we just got the tickets to go outside and look around . But it's really pretty . It's so many different rooms and so much to put together .
It's like a really interactive art exhibit type thing . And then we did that . And then we went back to the hotel because we had dinner reservations at Spago , which is a restaurant by Wolfgang Puck . So we ate there and , yeah , had a good dinner and I enjoyed it , and then did a little bit of gambling and then that was done , didn't really do anything .
Wednesday Went to the Cosmopolitan , which was next door . He had this like place , like this hole in the wall place for pizza . Like it's secret , it's not advertised anywhere , like you have to know where it is , where it is , to find it . But the piece was really good . And then um thursday , my best friend was leaving out , so we went shopping .
They have a dispensary there called Planet 13 . It's like the world's largest . So we went there and tried some stuff out , did some shopping Me and my bougie ass . I bought another Louis Vuitton bag , so got that ?
Oh , that's what that was .
Yes , that was a bag .
Yeah , okay .
Gotcha and we went and got ramen . Of course , of course , of course , and the ramen was okay . It wasn't like it's not like my favorite ramen back here , but it touched a spot and then that was it . My best friend flew back out Friday . I was heading back here , so I got up early , packed up and hopped on my flight .
If you have an AMX Platinum car and you do not use it , please use some lounges . Please use some lounges . They came in with a clutch , hmm , Lounges are dope . They are Like the one they had in Vegasgas had a shower so you like take your clothes off , like eat , drink and wait for your flight , so that we did that and then that was it . I got sick .
So you guys can hear , I think I got sick like the day after my birthday , like it's mostly gone , I just have like flim you .
You said something that was interesting to me . I told you the story when I went to germany for work yeah , I think but what happened ? Okay , I was going fine to romania for work and my . I had a layover in germany for like 10 hours so I left the got a cheap hotel room close to the airport it's like 50 bucks Went in there , showered , here's the shit .
So the first room that they gave me . I don't think I told you this . I get my key , have I told ?
you this ? No , I don't think so .
Go on , I get my key , walk into my room . I open the door and it's an asian dude and a white woman they have naked . I swear to god . I swear to god . So I go back to the front desk and I'm like there's somebody in that room and I'm like , oh my god , I'm so sorry I forgot that happened , but that really happened . They were yo .
That was crazy , that was you interrupted their sexy time I think they already finished the sexy time and they were just chilling . I don't think they were expecting anybody to come into that fucking room , but it's . But it was crazy , it was wild .
But yeah , I got the , I got a room so I can shower and all that shit , because I was on a whole fucking fight for almost eight to 10 hours getting the German . But what have I , uh , what have I been up to ? Job hunting , doing interviews at a couple pretty good , not anything too crazy dealing with snow . Is there anything else ?
Oh , I got something to show you .
Hit me with it .
Because you didn't get me nothing for my birthday , but it's okay .
What is it that is sick ?
I've wanted one of those for like so long .
How long did it take ?
I didn't do it . My best friend , my twin , did it for me for my birthday . Yeah , he just came today . He was like your package , not going to be there by the time your birthday hits but , it's going to be there and it's like okay . So he ordered like a bunch of stuff and so this just came .
And then he ordered me a um , a batman animated series jacket and it says wb right here , it has batman crew underneath it and then it has the batman that is such a good series enemies it is my favorite one is that's like my favorite iteration of batman ever . Is that one ?
but yeah , I haven't really been up to much man , just working stuff back at the range , working , getting , practicing shooting and all that stuff . But uh , yeah , like I said , you guys , uh , this is , this is gonna be a lot in this and I think the uh .
¶ Nintendo Switch 2 Speculation
The first thing that I want to talk about lexi was on , you know , on her birthday joint . I saw an article or a pre-announcement about the new nintendo switch 2 and I watched the whole like advertisement ad and all that shit and I was like , okay , cool , okay , cool , bigger screen Looks nice . I like that .
The stand the stand that it has can fucking go flat almost , which is cool , because the stand on these old ones is pretty . You know shit , but I never used the stand anyway .
I don't either .
So I mean maybe I would use it this time , but not really . They're gonna have a uh like , the nintendo direct is gonna be april 2nd , so it's months away and have you like signed up for the tickets no , I'm not in new york , los angeles , dallas , yeah , I see that I was thinking about this like yesterday and today .
I like the color of it , I like the all black in the controllers . I think they're like magnetized or something like that , so they're not like the little slotted joints . But here is my thing . Okay , so you know what this looks like . This looks like a Steam Deck , but it's just branded Nintendo . This looks like a Steam Deck , but it's just branded Nintendo .
It looks like a skinnier version of a Steam Deck . That's just not as large and thick . Right .
And I've been using both of I've been using my . Steam Deck and my Switch . You know , for the past couple weeks now and because you know I picked up Animal Crossing again . Just something to take my time . You know , take my time and I've been playing . Dishonored again on the Steam Deck and I was like , okay .
So when I saw this , another big thing that kind of made me think was the , the dock . Yeah , yeah , I'm , I'm looking and I'm like , so you guys didn't make it , so the dock might be a little bit smaller and more compatible to travel with . You know , they do have a USB port on the bottom and on the top .
So I'm thinking just I mean like the steam deck has one on the top . But so I'm thinking maybe you can use a like an aftermarket dock or something like that , like I have for the steam deck .
But I remember when switch first came out and third parties were making docs for it and they weren't working , yeah , at all , like they weren't working on any of them . So you had to use the one that you got with your nintendo switch and it had to be nintendo brand . So I look at that and I'm like and also , nintendo does this weird shit .
Where they come out with this shit , they're gonna get it out before Christmas . We know that it's gonna come out . People are gonna flock to it . Right , screen is bigger , the look of it is different , cool , whatever . The big thing for me is that within a year or two , they're going to come out with another one with just a better screen .
I want to say like a year or two , I think it would be . How long did it take between us getting the OLED and the original ? I have no fucking idea . I think it was . I think at least four years in between the two really let's see and it's just I don't know .
It looks good , but when I , when I look , and also the price too , that's gonna be another big thing huh how much is the price ?
they don't have a price yet that's I mean , but yeah , I think about it too , like I , I , I feel like it wouldn't be too much more . I think it would be in that exact same price point . If anything , it'll probably be like the price of , like the oled , which is three , four , you know349 , brand new .
You wouldn't think it would be like $500? .
For a Switch For a handheld and I don't mean , like I know , handhelds are expensive . We have Steam Deck but our Steam Deck has a lot of functionality . I don't think they would go up that high in a price point for a device that's limited on capabilities that it can do , you know , because even with the switch you can't do a lot with it .
Like you have some like video apps you do like I feel like Netflix is in switch or not . Twitch and a few other things are on there , but and it also is too it is marketed towards mainly kids yeah , Mainly . And you say you have to think about parents .
You really think your parent , who's probably going to get it for like their kid , like their 10 , let's say 5 , 10-year-old , is going to pay $500 for a handheld device .
True .
And then you also have to think about the Steam Deck too . Like the intro model is even like $400 . So I mean , I would say pretty certain it would be like less than $400 .
So if this new Switch was $400 , that's cool .
I mean that means I'm trading like I'm on a You're trading in your old Switch .
To go , your old switch . I was trading in my old one .
Yeah , to offset this , yes right .
but then I sit here and I think and I'm like , is is just these couple of features worth the trading if I already have all these other ? Let's say , I have these already controllers for this thing , like the wireless joints , and I have all these accessories for it and all this crap .
Now and then let's really talk about trade in value and also let's talk about if this shit comes out , will Nintendo drop the prices of the old switches ?
I mean , at that point they have to , because who's going to really go to buy a switch one ? At that point you have a switch two , but switch two is backwards compatible .
But where it's in a Nintendo is in a weird spot , because before the switch it was the wii right , the wii u , and when we the wii u , and when that shit went , that shit went right .
So now we're in a place where there is the original switch , you have the switch oled , and then you have the ones that don't have the uh the the lights yeah , the lights and it's uh .
You got all of these things that you can do here and it's just like okay I got all these options that I can pick from , why the fuck would I go with this second one that just has two ports on one port on the top bottom bigger screen , the stand can go almost like a full I guess flat , and all this other stuff I mean it's also to where it's just like
xbox and playstation .
So you like , even when they do their upgrade , you still technically can get the older models right for a while . But what do they typically start doing ? They start taking the newer games and phasing them only to their newer gens .
So I feel like , eventually that's what Nintendo will probably do , even though it's backwards compatible and can play Nintendo Switch games . But eventually they're going to come out with games that are just going to be just specifically on that particular handheld .
If they go that particular route , like , we really don't know yet , but I feel like that's probably the route they're going to take . But even then as well , you know , everybody has different options and different things they look for in their console . So , you know , it might be good that they offer these like different
¶ Nintendo Switch and Graphics Card Discussion
options . Like for me , like , I have both the light and the oled and I take my light with me , like you know , in my bag or whatever . It's smaller , so I don't have to carry everything , so it's more convenient . And then I have my oled for , like , when I'm in the house . I think somebody has , like kids okay , you have three kids .
They're all different ages , so you probably want to get the you know the newest one . For , like your teenager okay , they did really good , let me get this for a teenager . Hey , I got like a 10 year old . All right , I'll give the 10 , you know the oled . And then I got like a five or a three year old .
Let me give them just as late like they can do whatever with it . I don't care , but I I think they have that kind of thought in mind when it comes to Nintendo and the different types of Switches that they offer .
I'll be surprised to see that price point when they do their Direct .
April 2nd . Yeah , but I'll bet you money that it's not going to go more than $400 .
Because if they did , then that's's gonna be a really hard sell yeah , but I mean I don't know , I would think I will see . It's just it looks . It looks good .
Cannot knock , it looks great it does , and I definitely will get one oh , oh hold up . So you remember that comment you had about the joy cons and the pro controllers . Those are expected to be ford's compatible with two , but it has not been confirmed okay , so that all right so that that's cool .
So people don't , you don't like you're not wasting your the shit that you already have , you know . So okay , that's cool .
The only thing I wish they did do was just make the dock a little bit , like I said , smaller and just more travel , because people , people travel with this shit and let's say , you go to a hotel or something you want to connect to your tv , you know I I'm not one of those people that would be like I'm traveling with , okay , I'm not one of those people
have like a dog for like when I try Like .
so for me I really don't care about the dock . I never really use it . I think I probably use it to dock less than five times . And the time span that I've had a switch and I think I've had a switch since like 19 , so I've never really used the dog . It doesn't really make much difference to me . But I can see your point , but I don't .
I don't even think this one is an oled model . They're coming up with two .
Yeah , no that's , I think , what they're gonna do like you said in three or four years , they will come out with something that's like different , and what would be dope is if they made them different colors .
That would be cool , but yeah , they're not gonna do that I might wait until they start doing like different colorways for it too .
Yeah , yeah , because that would be crazy , like if they came out with like one that was like that pokemon yellow , like that pikachu yellow or something like that . That shit would be dope , um . But yeah , well , we'll see what happens with that , but I'm not . Uh , yeah , we just gotta see . Like I said , it looks good .
It reminded me as soon as I saw it I was like damn , I like a steam deck . As soon as I saw I was like that looks like a steam deck and me playing .
I've been playing dishonored on the steam deck and I gotta say val , they were some smart motherfuckers to make that shit , because that steam deck is , oh , my god man , that shit is dope , like I'm not I if I don't use mine's enough , but it is a really great device to use when you're on the go .
I just don't like how loud those fans can get sometimes yeah and then , like also , the battery life is atrocious yeah it's bad , oh it's shit .
It's better life and shit . I get that and I hope . I hope they are working on something better , yeah , and just to kind of minimize and remove a lot of the issues that they have . But just playing that shit and you can connect controllers to it and all that stuff .
If you want to your headphones and you're just in a , you know , take it anywhere you want to . Like that shit is so smart . If you are just straight PC gamer man , that shit is great . But yeah , we'll see what they do with the Switch and see where it goes cost-wise and what other features and stuff like that .
You know what I'm excited for , what you know what I'm excited for , what you know what I'm excited for these graphics cards yes I had actually .
That's why that's good segue , because I was actually about to go into that . So what is let me see here ? So with that was there , um , let me see , hold on one , two good you know what you could do for me .
Since you know it's right around the corner and you have free time , I'm not buying you a grab .
It's right around the corner and you have free time no , no , no , no .
You won't have to . You have to buy it for me because I want you to go stand in line for it oh man , that's still happening .
I'm not doing that shit again . Look , I did that shit during covid . I am not doing that shit again . Look , I did that shit during COVID . I am not doing that again . No , why ? I am not standing in line for a graphics card again , because this is how it goes right . So let's just , I'm just going to start out here .
¶ Graphics Card Buying Tips
So for these 5,000 , these RTX 5,000 , 5090 is two grand Makes sense . Yeah , 580 , 50-80 , 50-70 , ti 750 , and the 50-70 is 550 .
Alright , let's stop it right there . You know why the 50-70 is going to be like a really good deal .
Which one ? The TI or just the 50-70 ? Just the 50-70 is going to be like a really good deal . Which one ? The TI or just the 50-70 ?
Just the 50-70 .
You think they're going to come out with like they came out with like . I remember when I bought my 3D Didn't they come out with like 3 , 30-60s and shit like that too .
So that 50-70 , the way they explain it at C is basically boring a 40 80 , which right now I think it's like a over a thousand dollars . So you cut that in half by getting a 50 70 . So yes , it's really big for you , but , um , but I know , for me I want get a 5090 .
I am a little upset though , because I just put a thousand watt power supply in my PC like not even two months ago , and now I'm going to have to change my power supply . It's recommended you have 12,000 watts for the 5090 .
It's I'm , I'm , I'm like man . Do I want to get rid of my 4090 and sell it and just use that money ?
look at you fancy 4090 not a 40 .
I know I have a 3090 , sorry um , mine is old , but mine is old too .
We both in the same boat right now but I'm not standing .
Look , y'all want to go ahead and stand in that shit line at Best Buy . I've done it . I've been up at three in the morning at a best buy line and watching other motherfuckers come out and camp literally tents and camp and here's the shit . Y'all , you're not gonna , you're not getting that shit right .
Then and there what they do is give you a piece of paper and what's on that paper is what you have to buy . So they start off with the cheap ones first , whoever's in line , and then it gets to the expensive shits . When it gets down to that , those last couple of pieces of paper . This is how they did it here . Carrie , north Carolina , best Buy Boom .
That's why I picked it up . Spot Boom , that's why I picked it up . So if you want one of those 5070s and the 5070TIs and shit and we're talking about Founders Editions , because these are all Founders Editions I have a Founders Edition 3090 .
Right , so if you want one of them shits , you're going to have to be in line early , and I'm not talking crack-ass of dawn , I'm talking about just crack Like you got to be there . You might as well just start the day before .
Look see , it's not hard for me to do . I literally could do that , you know , because of my Tesla . I could just get in the Tesla and take turns and go , go watch my tv , take me a nap that's you know , get warm , but I'm not doing that because it ain't that big of a deal for me .
My 3090 still works , so and you all , you know what the crazy shit is . Here's the crazy shit . I remember this shit happening and you know who always shows up to these shits . I'm not , I can't even believe why I'm gonna say , I'm gonna say this acronym but they always show up . I ends always and they come .
I remember standing in line to carry and some y ends come up and they just like bum rush , like trying not even to stand in line right you better believe if , if I go in line again this is why I had to conceal carry and everything .
You better believe because I can't , because it's crazy , like you know , it's like how black fridays used to be when we were kids . Like this is how it is like best buy , they have it more organized , but if you want to get there , get there early day before .
I'm telling you when you get out , you think you're gonna wake up early at 6 am and think you're gonna be at the top of the line . You know no no you wrong , because it's going to be almost 50 people to 100 people in front of you already . You're gonna make some friends in that line and also bring a chair .
Or you sitting on the ground , bring a chair . Or you , sitting on the ground , call off work , telling you're gonna be late because this ain't gonna be no quick shit . And then the other thing is , once they run out of that's it . Uh , those papers , it's done you . Just you gotta wait until they restock and then you gotta be on it .
I met a guy standing that line who drove from fucking greensboro , north carolina , to North Carolina . That's almost an hour and a half for a graphics card . Do you know how many best buys are in between Greensboro and Cary ? He was like , yeah man , I thought I woke up really early . Man Drove here , man , I was going to see if I could get back to work .
But I was like motherfucker , no , you're not going to make it . You chose this path . You're not gonna make it . You chose this path . Now you have to deal with it . It's a bitch standing in that line waiting for a guy . When you get it , it's dope , because here's the other shit too .
You only have a limited time to get it right , yeah , and then let's say you know you have to go back and pick it up by like 12 pm or 1 pm . Right , when you go back , there are going to be people standing in line already waiting for people that don't come get the graphics card . So get your shit .
If you , if make sure you have your money right , because if you don't have your money right , you ain't getting shit because somebody else right behind you is going to come as soon as , like my boy , I got the money . give it to me give it to me now , as soon as that time goes , as soon as like 12 o'clock . All right , some people didn't come up .
Who was in line to get a new graphics card ? Boom , boom , boom sold out . I remember I got mine , mine and I had a motherfucker , literally say , I will give you three grand for it . Nigga , I thought about it , I thought about it , I thought about it . That's real shit . But make sure your money's right . Make sure you got it in cash .
Don't worry about that card shit . Have it in cash . Get your receipt . I still got my shit . Have it in cash . Get your receipt . I still got my . I still got the damn box to this graphics card . I said I moved to a whole new house and I said I am not throwing this box away .
It cost too much damn money .
But yeah , be prepared , make sure you got your money in order , make sure you go back and pick up your shit on time , because it's gonna be gone yup so get it in a heartbeat cause .
If you don't , I am yup people .
I'm telling you people are gonna be standing in line at Best Buy at 9 o'clock waiting for people that didn't come pick up earlier that day , like early morning . So you know , be prepared for that shit man .
Yeah , I've been debating if I want to do like a whole new build , just have build a second pc or just put it in this one . So that's what I've been debating on . When I get one that's .
Oh my god , it's so much shit to this . And then there are only certain best buys that get graphics cards . So every best buy does not get graphics cards . So you have to be on the lookout in your area for what best buy gets the graphics cards . So I'm driving I was living in durham , I'm driving to carry to get these shits .
Like I said , somebody drove from greensboro to get these things . That's crazy . So , wherever you are , go on youtube , you can go on . I'm telling you because I was doing this , go on . I'm telling you because I was doing this , go on YouTube .
There are certain channels that track video cards and they will tell you that they're in stock in certain places , certain websites . You can find links to articles and stuff that keep updated on where you can find these graphics cards locally .
If you got to go like if you're near a micro center and you got a like if you're near a Micro Center and you got a Best Buy , you got two good options , but then you're still going to be standing in line for an either or . So pick your poison . I would pick Best Buy over Micro Center , because Micro Center got some crazy motherfuckers .
So Best Buy's here , right ? Best Buy's here . Micro Center is like up here , because that's what they do . That whole back section of a Micro Center is just parts . So yeah , it's wild . You're going to be Jesus man . That was an adventure . When I had to go through that , it was fun . But you're going to be Jesus man . That was an adventure .
What I had to go through , that it was fun . But you're going to be wasting some gas , boy .
Man , I know it's going to take me forever to get one Forever .
Man , it's where your priorities are , wherever you want to take them , take them .
It's not even that . It's just like I do not want to go , get in line , stay in the cold , like if I could get one .
Yeah , like I think every woman that plays games could definitely get some motherfucker to go out and stand in line .
Here you go again . Here we go again .
Oh , stop , stop , Stop . You just asked me .
I asked because I know you got the time . And I'm like hey Afro buddy pal I'm asking because I know you have the time .
But hey , hey , if you wanted to , you could .
Not going there with you tonight . We're not going there .
I mean , you'd be like you'd be , like you'd be like damn man . Those graphics cards sure do look good , man . I wish I could get one , hey , but they look dope . I'm not even going to hold you . If you can't get the 5000 series , go for the 4000 . You can even still use the 3s .
To be honest with you , I'm still using it and still playing action games with it .
I'm still using my 3090 .
Yeah .
I mean I'm having driver issues with mine , with my PC .
But you also do more than me too , Of but you also do more than me too , of course yeah , you didn't want to meet . But yeah , man , it's uh , wake up , drink your protein and get ready for war .
If you're going in that shit , you're gonna meet some really cool people you really are and some weird motherfuckers , but , um , it's gonna be a fun experience for you . I'm serious you do . The people you meet in those lines are like a while .
I'm glad you said that .
Yeah , they're wild . It was fun , though it was cool . Shit , is that those Charlie Temples ?
Yeah , they are Good eye .
Have you tasted those , the joints that I got you ?
Yeah , they're right there in the bar they any good . Yeah , I like the pomegranate one , the best I've been trying not to drink them all up , okay .
Okay , I guess one other thing I wanted to talk about I've been trying not to drink them all up . Okay , oh man , and I guess . One other thing I wanted to talk about was there is a Metal Gear board game . There is a Metal Gear board game everybody , it looks great . It looks great .
I'm just finding out about it , but it came out in May 2024 , and I started seeing videos and articles about it and , oh my God , it looks great .
Have you bought it .
No , not yet . And what I'm thinking is I think this is just going to like play on shit , Because they're going to probably come up with an expansion for each of the fucking games , which is dope . This board game is based off of Metal Gear Solid , so it's the PlayStation one . Playstation version Looks great , oh man .
So something that does have your approval .
Yeah , this is something smart , not that stupid-ass Metal Gear Delta bullshit . Jesus man , that shit is so dumb , that shit is so fucking stupid . I can't man that shit's so dumb , but it's so fucking stupid , I can't stand that shit man um , but yeah , that that's also something .
And then I've been watching on netflix sakamoto days yeah yeah , I watched the what is it ? The first two episodes of it .
I like it looks good I haven't watched the second one . I do . I have to strike that , but I did watch the first one . It does look very interesting . I wonder how they're gonna go with the whole storyline . Um , have you been watching solo leveling ?
no , have not . I will say his . That would be easy cosplay though yeah green apron . Yellow shirt easy easy money . Round glasses easy easy money . But now I haven't watched uh , solo 11 . I'll check it out , though I definitely will . Is it just on netflix , or is it on crunchyroll too ?
Crunchyroll .
Okay , all right , yeah , I'll check that out , see how it is , see how it is . Oh man , I'm trying to think . Anything else that I want to add to this ?
Oh , I haven't shown you , but you've probably seen it already .
Oh yeah , yeah , that's dope . I actually really like the way it looks . You like those controllers , though , right ?
I do , I really do , but this is probably my sixth one that . I've had , so let's see how long it lasts . So I have two . I have this one , and then I have this is not an Elite controller , this is a Scruff controller . And then I have this one an elite controller this is a scruff controller .
And then I have this one , but this one is better to play COD with . I do not like playing COD with this at all . It's ass .
I just got regular joints . I just stick with simple bright yellow oh yeah , for sure , for sure . But yeah , man , is there anything else you want to add ?
