If you want "the best" gaming options:
- 6600K (or 6700K, but there is no discernible difference in gaming performance)
- Z170
- DDR4 > 3000Mhz
- GTX1070

You can gain about an extra 5-10% by opting for 3200+ DDR4 as opposed to it's 2400 counter part. I came across a (I think Toms hardware) where they did a bench on memory.

Something like the following would have you away laughing.

ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger Intel Z170, DDR4, ATX, LGA1151 Motherboard
Intel Skylake Core i5-6600K 3.50Ghz, 6MB, LGA1151, Unlocked Processor, No Fans       
Corsair CMK32GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 CL16

~$1100
+$900 GTX 1070
+ $200-300 for an M.2 SDD

Should have zero issues running VR on that.

$2k Budget - Want to play BF1 on pretty settings

What's the best spend for my money.

What do you need? Just the box?

Components:
- Core i5
- 16GB DDR4
- Mobo - Some socket 1151
- (Probably) AMD 480x
- Case
- PSU

http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=25723 - $920
AMD 480x ~$500
Case ~$200
PSU - Corsair RM650x - $220

Comes in @ about $1850. That'll set you pretty solid.

Wow.

Fuck I hate half-assed IT.

ohhh, so tempted...
Yeah, it's a REALLY good price. So much so, I don't think it'll be near that price until the December steam sale.

AND you get a t-shirt, ?which you can't pick the size of? So it might become a cum rag.

I've had fibre (almost) since they dug up the road to lay it.

Yeh but you were a TF2 kinda guy anyways.

<watermeloncat.jpg>
Yeah. Well, yeah nah.

I played TF2 because there was no BEEF. And BEEF4 was not beefy enough.

But I do like the TEEF style of game play.

It might steal a couple of players, providing it offers hats ofc.

Y.

Great gayme.

Best.

Will play.

A majority of the local city councils are in debt.

It seems most kiwis dont know that until their rates go up.

Then they see $26,000,000 spent on a flag 'debate'.

Plus complaining is a National sport in New Zealand.
Local council debt is a different issue.

To put it in perspective. $26M would cover about 5% of Wellington's debt, and would save residents something like $150 for a single a year. Not including interest and whatever else that debt incurs.

Also $26M is bugger all. It's about $8 per eligible voter, over the course of about 6 months.

As I said, it turned out there was something to take away from the referendum. 44% of voters wanted to change the flag, even to something resembling a tea towel. With about 1 million non-voters, that didn't care enough to vote either way.

The only thing that is a laughing stock is people trying to apply their dislike of John Key/National to what turned out to be a topical issue. This referendum got a lot of people talking about it, and some good discussion were had on the topic.

It seems most kiwi's can't separate their personal issues from potentially furthering our country. That goes for people on both sides of the flag argument.

I tend to think of most things like a business transaction (other than person to person ofc), being aware of your personal biases or conflicts of interest, can only better the quality of your opinion.

There is a reason I didn't vote in the referendum. I'm not fond of our current flag, and am open for a change; I also didn't particularly like the new design. So my non-vote was a vote and not a vote for both.

EDIT: Mod's need to move this thread out of the "Intellectual Discussion" sub, into the "Irrational Verbal Diarrhoea" sub.

Or when your belt hovers into your piss-stream.

Tend to stuff it in my pocket for that reason.

Don't know about your workplace, but at mine "No I am in the middle of something" is a pretty suitable response.
Due to the nature of programming, most of the time is too late once the questions been asked.

Might as well answer and try to get back to where you were.

Headphones generally mean "Fuck off, I'm busy", but not adhere to that

When I have headphones on:

[Insert random co-worker] "Oh is it ok if I disturb you?"
[Me] *Sigh* "Yes (you already have)"
[Same random co-worker] "Series of questions"

Result: 2 minutes of my time, and about 45 minutes of trying to get back to what I was working on.

This is what emails are for. Unless you are dying, then fuck off. And even then, I probably don't care and you can die in peace.
