Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

It also bothers me that Massdrop refuses to try and find any deals on GSync monitors when more than half the GPU market is Nvidia. Literally leaving money on the table. No one who currently owns an Nvidia GPU is going to go out and buy a different GPU just for a slightly cheaper monitor and then get worse game performance on top of it.
Honestly, though, even if I won the lottery I don't see how I would support a company that puts a minimum $200 premium for a piece of software another company essentially gives for free. I cannot deny they are not better, but their company practices are toxic and I don't want any part of it.
That said, to each their own.
you do realize its nvidia that puts a premium on their g sync and not the other way around
