What sort of machine are you running at the moment? Are you still on the latest and greatest all the time for your gaming rig?

Kinda sorta, it's i7-7700k based with a 1080ti, a couple TB of Samsung NVMe SSDs and 64GB of RAM Because retarded (and RAM disks are cool, also I like to tab out of games straight into chrome with 49 open tabs. When I put it together it was replacing an old bloomfield box that finally started showing CPU bottlenecking so I had an excuse not to fuck around. I've considered swapping the CPU/Motherboard every single time AMD or Intel puts out a press release but best case single core performance gains would make the investment retarded. I have a 30" calibrated 4K monitor I use to fling around information (and content creation) and a 27" 2440p at 165hz (G-Sync) That was probably the best gaming peripheral I've ever bought. I have them hanging off a loctek fully articulated dual arm rig, feels all kinds of cyberpunk.

ok, now I am talking to Motherhead again - curious if it shifted at all for you like it did for me.)

Yeah, I absolutely deprioritized the PCMasterrace shit into the cellar for a good seven years or so. Kids, travel and all that shit. But now they're both old enough that that they are allowed to blow shit up with their own (monitored) Steam accounts, so I've thrown myself back into gearhead hell. All my used hardware goes downstream and I have all kinds of outstanding excuses to build them shit (such educational parenting!) As for other stuff, I've always had too many fucking hobbies. I've trended (relative) minimalism more and more. Feels good.
