From the article:

The 850 Pro is designed for power users and client PCs that may need higher performance with up to 550MBps sequential read and 520MBps sequential write rates and up to 100,000 random I/Os per second (IOPS). The 850 EVO SSD has slightly lower performance with 540MBps and 520MBps sequential read/write rates and up to 90,000 random IOPS.

Is the 850 Pro's additional 10MBps sequential write speed and 10,000 random IOPS worth the $200 premium over the EVO if I intend to use an SSD primarily for gaming?

I just joined /t/patientgamers, did you create it?

Congratulations on your purchase! Borderlands 2 to me is the best in the series. I admire your restraint as well, Steam sales are like crack.

I'm sure I'll turn it back on once I've acclimated to the UX a bit! :)

I try to avoid using awesome too much. Because if everything is awesome, nothing is.

You and me both. It helps to find and follow users whose posts you tend to like, that way even if they participate in tribes that you aren't subscribed to, you'll still have content. But I see you've already done that, so carry on!

How exactly did you do this? Same as in Reddit, where you just have to type "/u/Splitfish"? Does "@Splitfish" also work?

Edit: Yup and nope.

I've had this Snapzu account for a year. I first heard about it on Reddit, and when I started using it in 2014 it seemed like a ghost town so I went back. I can honestly say that there's enough content flowing in here now to keep me onboard, and as an active and contributing member at that.

This is pretty cool, and now I know what I'm doing on my free time this weekend! Note that if you want to do this yourself, you might need to cut enough of the twisted pair cables away at the ends and leave enough insulation sheath to fit in the RJ45 connector. Otherwise, the double layers of sheath and cables might not fit. And if you're using a CAT6 cable for this, you might want to pull out the cross webbing too.

I don't buy games as often as I used to. Before I buy another game, I force myself to finish the one I'm currently playing. Hopefully I'l eventually build the willpower to go through 2 old games for every new game purchase, to help save even more and burn through my backlog at the same time.

For a more Reddit-like Front Page experience, you can turn off displaying comments in your feed page (snapzu.com/<USERNAME>/) by going to your Feed Preferences (snapzu.com/<USERNAME>/preferences) and unchecking "Comments." Note here that you can also uncheck the "Related Links" contribution type, and you won't see those in the feed anymore too. After doing this, my feed page makes a lot more sense to me, and is helping me adapt to Snapzu a lot more easily.

I'm a game designer! I broke into the game industry with a degree in English Literature, to a position that required 2 years experience in the related field (Game Design). I got it by dressing up my resume and catering it to the job; my personal blog became "gaming journalism," my hours of experience playing PC games became "keen understanding of basic level design principles," and my prior experience teaching English as a foreign language became "communicates ideas clearly and confidently to a wide variety of audiences." I paraphrase and simplify, but I hope the idea is clear!

You may be a white devil, but at least you're no faker. :)

Now I'm really confused!

The game was quietly cancelled in 2009, and saw NST fall from its top-tier status to become a smaller, digital-only studio.

The failure of this one game decided the fate of an entire studio. That's pretty heavy.

I don't live or work in the US, but maybe my case could serve as an example.

When a company says you need two years of experience, they don't really mean you need two years of experience. They just want something (in your background) for you get off to a running start on the job.

This is a huge point that job seekers should take to heart. The whole "Don't have job experience to get a job that needs experience" paradox is sorely misunderstood.
