Stupid thoughts and hopefully less stupid articles occasionally. Gaming and tech thoughts mostly, but I have a smattering of completely off-the-wall interests as well.

  • listen i'm usually a dell poweredge kind of gal but the HP gen8 aesthetics are lookin' pretty good
  • yeah i'm unsure whether i want to keep the RAM at 1600 MHz, or go up to 192 GB but have to clock down to 1333 MHz
  • you've got to have dual PSUs. i don't care what you say, one of them is going to blow up at the worst possible time
  • i think it's very important for the rails to feel smooth so that they don't annoy me the one time every two years i interact with them
