@slim_boy_fat

Please confirm it is for head hair and you not planning to get a merkin.

You know about stuff which is unfamiliar to me, but definitely NOT.

Up here we either shoot anything that looks like this, or call it a sporran and wear it when in the kilt...

Google Merkin pic.....

Sporran....

Many styles of sporran are available....

So a Sporran is just a vajazzled merkin then?

Had to look that up.
Been out of the game since around when i7 first hit the shelves.
Don't have any passion for modern games anymore.
Xbox and ps ruined development during the late 2000 and spending that much money on upgrades for poorly ported console games was demeaning.

Though I wouldn't mind finding a few old clan members for some borderlands and left for dead action.

Nexuiz made a nice job of reworking QII

I'm nowhere near enough rich (or daft) to have such a beast of a card. It just popped up in the steam info bit when I was playing it a couple weeks back.

Would love to have a play with an rtx card to see if it really is worth it. Also portal was possibly one of the greatest games of the era.
