Agree entirely.

I am in my 40s, have two bachelor's degrees, got my second SPECIFICALLY in my field, have changed job directions half a dozen times within my field (because money talks), and have used nothing from college that I couldn't get in a month long certification program.

I've gotten way more out of getting the respected industry specific certs than I did in more than half a decade of school.

I've gotten a thousand times more skills from learning on the job from colleagues and working managers than college and certifications together.

Probably unpopular, but I really like Studio One. Reaper is more powerful, and I love it too, but there's something about Studio One that just let me wrap my brain around it the first time I used it. For me, it's great for quick and dirty production which is a lot of what I do and "just works" with my interface and mixing console.

Of course that's not the case for everyone and a lot of folks want and need something with more to it.

Sorry buddy, I like smoked meats. Otherwise we could have been friends.

You're exactly right. Given the circles we run in it's easy to forget the rest of the world just doesn't give a shit about any of this.

TSR owned D&D at the time, but WOTC was a thing. They started Magic in '93, bought TSR in the late 90s, then sold to Hasbro just before '00.

Not that any of that matters.

I assume secure boot is off and your Windows drive/partition is encrypted.

It's also age dependent at the lower levels. Over 35 or 40 and you'll pay more than someone young. Or at least that's how it used to be.

I don't know what the going rate is but I assume that if you just want a throw you could probably get a mid tier prostitute almost once a week for that price.

If I can just tell her how awesome my penis is she'll fall madly in love! Right now she has no idea!

Can be done, but the timing has to be right. My buddy got a midrange gaming laptop during prime days (from a different retailer) that was regular priced around $1500 at the time for $850. I don't like the one he got but I understand his reasoning.

If OP is looking to buy today, maybe. If they can hold off another couple of weeks then there's a smaller "big sale" going on that they may be able to game to get something sub $1k that would normally be more.

If they don't care about playing the very latest at 4k high then they'll likely be able to get 5 years out of it.

Yep. I like guns. I like old guns. I wouldn't show up to someone's job telling them to include me in their project unless I was invited.
