I officially have the third fastest video card chipset on the planet. And interestingly, in terms of raw clocks it has the highest boost frequency of any of the chipsets.

In other news, done with work for the night, got the grocery shopping done already, and the house all picked up. The kids have had dinner, and are on their PCs. Time to figure out what to do! All of this Champions League action has made me want to boot into Windows to continue my "Pro Evo 2019" Master League team.

The last action I took was buying Matthijs de Ligt with almost every transfer kitty Euro I'd saved up over three full seasons. I was astonished that I was able to complete that transfer, since he was only three stars' worth of keen-ness to join me. But now I've got him and Mukiele as my first-choice centerhalf pairing, which is phenomenal.

My Minnesota United team (with real kits!) right now, 4-2-3-1 formation. Also, there are some famous names in my team-- those are re-spawned retired players, one of my favorite long-standing options in the series:


GK: Justo Villar (17 yo, 74), Beto (17 yo, 72)

LB: Teixeira (18 yo, 74), Ayovi (16 yo, 75)

LCB: De Ligt (21 yo, 83), Panzo (20 yo, 72)

RCB: Mukiele (23 yo, 81), Dainelli (17 yo, 73)

RB: McDowall (19 yo, 70), Glen Johnson (17 yo, 73)

DMF: Lucas Tousart (23 yo, 81), Lassana Diarra (16 yo, 72)

CMF: Federico Valverde (22 yo, 77), Mutsuo Ogasawara (16 yo, 72)

LMF: Luis Sinisterra (21 yo, 77), Levi Garcia (23 yo, 75)

AMF: Mott (25 yo, 78, Captain), Lincoln (22 yo, 77)

RMF: Matheus Cunha (21 yo, 77), Diego Villar (17 yo, 76)

CF: Nicolas Gonzalez (22 yo, 78), Kucic (17 yo, 75)


It's been fun watching Ajax in this year's Champions League, because they remind me exactly of my "Pro Evo" team: super young and pacey side which plays crazy one-touch passing in the opponent's final third-- but which also sometimes can be naive and get caught on the break.

Funnily though, Nicolas Gonzalez in-game reminds me a lot of Cristiano Ronaldo when the latter was at Manchester United at about the same age: kind of inconsistent, but has phenomenal physique, pace, and technique.
