LOL nice one :D
My session is long gone, didn't save it externally, reinstalled Windows a while back too. Maybe it's for the best, this way.

I registered for Netwar 32! It's up to 586 seats this time around, and I managed to snag one of the 'LEET' seats with extra room. I know none of you are anywhere near Omaha, but it's a killer event. I've been going for over 10 years now. I'd like to have my new case done by then, but I'm sure that's one hell of a long shot. I'll probably run 'open air'. Lol.

In unrelated news I won a poker game at work - looking at buying a new NVME SSD ( MyDigitalSSD BPX 240gb ) or a 1050Ti LP to celebrate.
Congratulations, you card shark! I already have a 750 Ti and don't have any low profile cases, but for some reason I keep itching to buy a 1050 Ti LP.

So, it's way more expensive than a SSD (tried calculating in the ~128-256GB range), and is still limited to being a SATA interface...

Without doing much looking around, 64GB Class 10 SD (~80MB/s standard, I think that's write) cards sound like they're about $60. So ~$630 for a 1TB 'SSD' with ~800MB/s R/W. That sounds sort of reasonable?

Edit: Apparently if you're brave enough to be thrifty, the cost can go way down. I haven't even looked at ebay, or aliexpress, but I'm sure there is peddling on those outlets.

I liberated Manchukuo from the Japanese and am preparing to invade Japanese held Korea. #HOI4things

Also I found an amazing youtube series called The Great War, and am really wishing HOI4 had a WW1 mod.

That star rating on the thrifty option, though! It seems cool, but I don't think it is worth messing with - I binge read a bunch of reviews on them (when strategizing about a mSTX NAS) and then abandoned the idea as not worth it.

*Takes a look at the snow outside the windows*

I'm a bit jealous about all this snow talk. It would be a good excuse to never go out, and just play Fallout 4 and Skyrim for days on end.

We did have bad floods which closed the bridges and ferries in my area, so that was two days off work!
