I collected a lot of games this season.. All I need now is an XBox... or a gaming PC to play them.. ๐
Roflmao
@dustinc any timelines of when folks who won a VPS will get it?
What games you like bro? I like Witcher 3.. but when I tried to play in my lappy, my laptop fans sounds like an aeroplane taking off... and we can make an omelette on the lappy keyboard...
Hahaha...
I like the classics.. counter strike and likes...
Counter Strike... Although quite popular, never played it. Not a fan of multiplayer games, espicially with the network I have.
I like fantasy games, and open world games. More than the main game, I like to roam around diffrent places.. climbing mountains.. etc.
You guys coming after my Xbox!?
Lol. Been busy last couple days so you have a good chance
Yes, I've removed some unnecesarry things on my table as well, to give the xbox some place. Cleaned dust on my gaming headphones... Collecting games.. all I need to do now is wait for dustin to send the xbox to me..
I have bought one more

Thank you @dustinc! RackNerd saved my Christmas! ๐
I was a little late, but it was worth the wait.
With orders #6392940835 and #5636397340... I bid goodbye to overpriced Big 3 cloud VMs, overpriced "unlimited" hosting with hidden quotas, and random droplets.
---8<--- clip rant here ---8<---
BONUS SOB STORY / NOVEL NOBODY ASKED FOR:
I get paid to build cloud stuff, and went with what I knew. But what I knew was really, really not cost efficient for my use case (which I also knew, but nothing quite drives the fact home like a big cloud bill ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ) I'd given up on VPSes a long time ago, and resigned to paying a small fortune between cloud and hosting bills.
Except now I was so annoyed with the hosting that I was about to give up on that too. The slap-in-the-face: #$%^ing inode quotas, left unmentioned until money had exchanged hands. Seriously?! What is this, 1998? Did I miss an epidemic of tiny file abuse or a scourge of semaphores? ("Show me on the chart where the process touch(1)'d you...") The justifications I saw for inode quotas were pretty weak, and did not inspire confidence in the people hosting my stuff. TL;DR don't try to BS someone who knows enough about the topic to call you out on it.) [In the spirit of the holiday season: you there, random forum person reading this who wants to go on about block sizes and storage and whatnot... please don't. I am sure you are right. The point is, I am happy and got a good deal :-) ]
Could I get by with a VPS alone? Yup. Do I want the kind of stuff I used to do at work to take over my spare time? Nope.
Looking through past responses and reviews, RackNerd manages to answer some pretty boneheaded questions with more respect, patience, and sound technical explanations than I ever could. You respond to reviews thoughtfully. You appear to be enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what you do. This is the first time in a while that I've bought compute, not felt like a chump, and actually am looking forward to getting it set up.
Assuming I continue to be as happy as your other customers are, I'll write a review in some conspicuous place later. Thank you for coming to my thread talk.

Y'all are my people. Why did it take me this long to find you?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot:
RACKNERD HAS AWESOME DEALS HERE: https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/
Welcome to the gang @catmcpurr
As a cat lover I dig the username.
So since I've been slacking on making fancy username text for people, I offer you two lol
I forgot I made a Discord server during the Black Friday thread if anyone is interested.
https://discord.gg/VwWW9s7g
Its not an official Discord and is not sactioned by RackNerd LLC but I figured I'd post it up. Seemed like a fun idea.
Ahh.. You are running after my Xbox now.. You see there is an X in my avatar? That stands for Xbox... ๐
He usually delivers within 24 hours, sometimes it's very slightly longer than that
There's an X in my name too, stands for "Actually it's my Xbox"
I already Xpressed with my Xpress speed.... this Xbox is reserved..๐
I think you've got a 75% chance of winning it
Oooh, nice song.
That Xbox is already in my living room, you just don't know it yet. xD
There's a BlazinDimes in my name and most people assume its weed related, but actually it originates from a love for S10 Blazers and S10 pickup trucks when I was younger.
I might be 420 friendly but its just a coincidence, originally. lol
