Quest was purchased a while back but never mentioned..yeah you old timers need to get with the times..

 

Anyone of you see the game demo body cam??? People are saying it's the first photo realistic game to come out.

 

I'd check it out like our rich member jaybee and his $ 25 890 000 beast of a desktop

it looks photo realistic but i think it still work.

Stuff from my most recent shopping adventures:

 

• Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super: Got this open-box from Best Buy for less than what a vanilla 4070 would have cost. Box was beat up, but the card was in perfect condition. Fans run super quiet with no perceptible coil whine. Gives slightly better performance than my RTX 3080 while having 2 GB more VRAM and consuming 100W less power.
• MSI G274QPF 1440p/180 Hz monitor: Bought at Costco to replace a no-name Chinese monitor with similar specs that started failing after just a couple months. Said Chinese company's support wasn't particularly helpful, and they have no US presence to return for RMA so I'm going to take the financial loss on the chin. So far the MSI is working well. I like that it doesn't have any RGB nonsense and there's a Type-C input, though oddly, no built-in USB hub so you can't use it as a one-cable solution for a laptop.
• 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro: Purchased from Vintage Computer Fest Midwest last weekend. I had its 15-inch counterpart back in the day, and while I consider it the best computer I've ever owned, I always wanted the 17. Aside from some dirt and a few nicks, the chassis is in surprisingly good condition, at least relative to similar ones I've seen for sale on fleBay. The battery even holds a charge, though I still plan to replace it. The seller "modded" it to run Big Sur, but I'm going to remove it in favor of a more era-appropriate OS that can still run 32-bit applications and games. Overall, not a bad buy for $75.
