we struggled through the summer last year.
We did, too.
Weird situation, actually. Maybe someone can weigh in. Back in March 2015, I was low on freon. I had assumed it to be a slow leak back then, so I called a place to get some freon reloaded, thinking it would get me through the summer.
Around late June, freon was low again. I called a local company to go ahead and quote me a new condenser coil. The owner and I actually communicated by text with model info, pricing etc. I agreed to have it done, but he wasn't available until a day I would be out of town. So -- kudos to this owner by the way -- he gave me freon to get me through the week before my trip. His quoted price for the coil included freon anyway, and the plan was I'd have him do the install when I got back.
Day after I returned, early July, I texted the owner that I'm back from my trip and ready to get the coil. He responded "did you have fun?" to which I replied that I did have fun. No other communication for over a month after that.
Come late August, I texted him again, telling him that my last leak was fast, and I noticed that my lately AC was working all day to cool the house (indicating that maybe the freon is getting a little low again). His response: "that's just the record heat. My AC has been working hard too." Not a word since then. The AC took us to around September/October, and by then we didn't need it as much anyway. But we're back to square one, freon's gone.
As flaky as the situation sounds, ultimately this guy gave me freon that he has not charged me for, as it was meant to be part of the coil installation. He also seems to have a good reputation. I kind of figured he was up to his elbows in work and just didn't have time to do it, and it eventually slipped by him.
My dilemma, I guess, is that I know I should call him again before spring, because the AC won't get through it on just another freon recharge. But I'm wondering if he even remembers that he gave me freon. Do I pay him for it, even though it's his fault?

You almost wish he would just be a dick and make it easy on you.

The new Hitman will be the first game to feature AMD's DX12 Async Compute. At this time Nvidia GPU's still cannot/do not support asynchronous shading. #TeamRed

Episodic release, do not care, by the time all episodes are released my nVidia cards will do this and I will get the game at a fraction of the cost. Already got a refund on my pre-order.

And I will have a new card.

Doubt it, the new Nvidia cards were too far along to support that feature of DX12.

Yeah, the point is the current AMD cards are in a more ready state, and nvidia tends to abandon last-gen users pretty quickly--but of course Pascal will be competitive. Only thing that'll matter to me is which has the better performing card (particularly in a multi-GPU configuration) at the end of the year. I hope it's AMD, since that'll save me a few hundred on a monitor.

I have no loyalty to either, I in fact like AMD's control panel better. I was more bagging on the game, but like I don't understand the console wars I also don't under stand the GPU wars! Buy what works best for you and let others do the same.
I am looking to get away from multi card, and the one that works best in the next gen I will buy.

Well they haven't for a year now especially the last 5 months on the DX12 side where AMD cards have seen large performance gains and Nvidia not so much.

Yep, thanks for posting.
Trying to load money on my temp/loadable debit card. They don't do PayPal, so just want to buffer myself.

i used paypal to buy that mortal kombat key, so it depends on whichever specific vendor you are buying from.
temp card is a great idea if the vendor doesnt accept paypal.

Used once. Very soon after had fraudulent charges on my Paypal.
Disputed charges, changed passwords, haven't used since.
YMMV

I have used Kinguin for about 15-20 game purchases through PayPal, have never had one single issue.
Have used G2A for a few and CDKeys for a few as well, no issues.
