Me not in the slightest! Maybe I'm gonna play a round or two of anthem but apart from that idk.
Finished firewatch last weekend and am kinda out of single player story driven games to play that also look decent.

Dota is my football, as in I don't play it but like to watch the pros have a go at it

I have a 1600x, so it'd be like a 30-40% performance increase for me looks like. Probably worth it, but I don't really play cutting edge games that require that kind of performance. Even with emulation, games are either playable with my current setup or not playable with any setup.

My 1600 deffo is the bottleneck in quite some games I occasionally play. Like anthem, Odyssey, well, that's about it.

I'm super tempted to get a 3600 for about 180 but do I really want to upgrade no additional cores?

Hope i can watch TI live this year(too bad there's no EE team to watch me get hopes then they just get eliminated on the lower bracket again)

Every damn year something happens which i end up skipping it(like a girl inviting me to her localhometown, work, thesis etc)

I'm glad Grant will be at TI, I love his casting.


Always get disappointed whenever he gets denied every year. He makes the most boring and standard games at times really fun.

And he has good cohesion with most casters too

Solo ranked will still be toxic, but playing with friends is fun and you can climb with them so it's definitelly a win

So, I got a letter from the Church tax institution, asking me whether I was obliged to pay chruch tax. I've never in my life been member of a Church, so I was wondering why I should bother with that and sink my little free time in it.

But the good citizen that I am, I sat down filled the form and sent it away the next day, but not without inquiring why they didn't know that I wasn't a Church member... Whether it was due to marrying my - non church member - wife or some other reason.

Couple of days later I recieved a letter from them, explaining the regulatory basis for their inquiry.
To be honest, I only skimmed over it because it cited way too many laws for me to be interested. But I was happy that they weren't tone deaf to my questions. So I wrote another e-mail thanking them for their response.
Today I received an e-mail from the institution, thanking me for my kind response.

Guys, be nice, it is worth it and makes (almost) everyone's day more agreeable.

If that was me. I'd probably just ignore it.




Also hey guys ! how you all doing ?

I'm quitting work after my contract expires(at the end of the year) with the government (well they always renew my contract so i call it quitting as i will be declining their renewal of contract) so that i can focus on improving as a dev and trying out other environments (everytime i experience a new workplace i learn something valuable from it ). The people i work with currently are pleasant enough (tho i find the office politics unbelievably annoying like i just want to code and fix computer stuff gtfo of my face) and the work isn't as hellish as my last employment but i am improving enough no mattter how much i try to improve.

So guess i'm just giving it 6 more months (money is also a motivating factor as a friend of mine which is my batchmate earns like 300 times more money monthly than i do so it was kinda depressing) around the final 2 month i'm gonna looking for other opportunities

I'll be on vacation in Scotland this September and the weather's been so shitty the last weeks, I hope we're gonna get a nice late summer over there...


Nice to hear from u goody! Sad to see you leave a secure employment behind, but I can very much relate to feeling stuck in a position where one doesn't develop (pardon the pun) as much as one would like to.
So brave move and fingers crossed that you find a job worthy your time.

I see you mods adjusting the Team Liquid flair!

Let me tell you something, if you touch my beautiful OG flair, I'll find out where you live, I will find your apartment, I will go there in the night, and while you'll be sleeping and dreaming about putting OG last in the power ranking this year, I will sprinkle LEGO all around your bed so you'll have to step trough it in the morning. You sick fucks.

r u coming to glasgow

I'm renting a campervan and will gtfo to nature with my wife asap as we're super fed up with city life at the moment.

But if the weather continues to be like it is right now, the probability of us going to climb Ben Lomond is going to skyrocket. And I'd absolutely be down to meet up for a coffee (will probably have to drive in the cities as Ive clocked a lot of miles already this year).

I was quite happy in Glasgow when visiting in 2013, but the wife ain't so hot about cities atm (see above) so its up in the air ...

Will you be in town around 18th to 30th of September?

Yeah thanks man ! i actually like the people there and well the work is kinda dynamic i don't only code but i also do secretarial work, fix computer stuff, practically function as a network administrator, lineman and sometimes a carpenter lmao(i really like none-focused work but just work) but i can't stay. I have to keep grinding and i am not grinding there.

Who are you visiting in scotland ?
