it sounds like you haven’t done any research on parts/builds, which is fine, but doing your own research on every component is vital if you’re trying to save money (which may not even be a thing anymore these days) but still end up with something worthwhile, because yes, everyone is going to give you wildly different advice

so here’s mine-- just buy a prebuilt. might be more expensive than the sum of its parts, but you save on time doing the research on parts and prices, plus it might come with a warranty. look up the recommended specs on your games, find a PC in a box that exceeds those, and you’re done

also OS is a thing to consider, but that’s an entirely different convo

“locker room talk”

what really mystifies me is how so many women pushed this “boys will be boys” narrative, as if it’s not an actual choice whether or not to sexually assault someone

it’s because traditional conservative family values hold that women are the property of men, and their purpose for existence is to provide their husband with sons, sandwiches, laundry service. and to vote how they’re told to vote

“uncomfortable” is one way to put it-- i find “infuriated” fits my response better

Usually it’s a sex scandal that takes them down.

as it absolutely should. but trump is a literal pedophile rapist, and here we are.

so, so, so many things should have ended him over the past decade. “grab them by the pussy” should have ended him. but no, after the pornstar hush money, the fraud, the broad daylight stealing of public funds, the nepotism, the ‘covid is a hoax,’ the stolen (and probably sold) top secret documents, the felony convictions, the ice murders, the epstein files, and on and on and on–it was diesel that finally turned his cult

this country is so fucking stupid

great job epic. keep working hard, maybe in a few years you’ll be where steam was 5 years ago

i don’t remember tampa being as red as the redneck shithole towns, plus they have USF. st pete is definitely dark blue, clearwater might be the reddest “city” in that area (scientology owns most of it). not as familiar with jacksonville, but it probably is more red than the rest

for those who don’t know, florida isn’t that much different from many large states, with a lot of land where the bumfuck uneducated hick counties with a population of 3000 are overwhelmingly republican, while the counties with smart people–cities; college towns-- are >80% blue

what sets florida apart is that this is where rich retired entitled myshitdontstink republicans go to live the final years of their asshole lives and vote red. google “florida the villages” --yea, that’s real life. also google “FL villages STDs”-- that’s also real life

tl;dr: desantis is a useless sack of shit who accomplished literally nothing in life. except pick a fight with disney LOL

how’s that going, btw?

lol they’re going to find someone to be the fall guy and they dont’ care who it is, or how justified. or even justified at all. it should be nauseatingly apparent by now that trump can point his geriatric finger at anyone and say “______ is his/her fault,” and now that person is the new RINO/traitor/satan, and it doesn’t matter what anyone says-- that person is done for

I don’t know who is going to be satisfied by this burnt offering.

maga will, 100%

also, just to be clear: fuck rubio. if he’s suffering, then i’m glad

no worries, ran out of tears quite a while ago

don’t worry, tech CEOs will never ever run out of ways to make life shit for everyone and blame democrats

ok. maybe the ex- epic guy still simping for epic is right: steam customers wouldn’t leave steam even if something better came along. and? so capitalism’s “broken” according to whoever tf this guy thinks he is, some ex-has-been from epic talking about economics like everyone should give a shit what he thinks. my point stands-- let him, and epic, and everyone else blaming everything but themselves for steam having a better service and product, keep crying about it

by the way, i’m not a steam fanboi-- if/when they enshittify i will absolutely start buying my games elsewhere

blizzard was really doing well with diablo and overwatch before they decided to be stupid af. now those games are on steam LOL

dear blizzard: too late LOL

unfortunately, narcissists/psychos are often the ones that ruthlessly manipulate and bully and deceive their way to the top, shoving aside higher quality and more human people more deserving of those positions of authority. you see it in musk, bezos, the epic chode, etc… also in govt

if you’re running a business (like epic), and you feel like you’re somehow just entitled to a certain percentage of the market share dominated by the king of the market (steam), while also giving consumers literally no reason to give you that money (in epic’s case, actually giving more reasons NOT to use them), then-- LOL get fucked. keep shitting on linux and refusing to unfuck your shit tier slopfest UI, while whining about everything. i find it amusing.

GOP lackeys in congress block any attempt to stop him because if they did, he would just end their entire present and future career with a single tweet, as has been the case multiple times

so yea… he pretty much does whatever he wants. he’s a convicted felon for fucks sake

i’m calling the police

living in a box, perpetual consumption of the algorithm’s feed…tomato/tomato

LOL i don’t know anything about sheeran but i wouldn’t be surprised if he knows nothing and has no opinion on palestine, only what his managers tell him.

his only course of action now is to fess up and apologize. he was afraid of being blacklisted by venues, now he should be afraid of being ditched by millions of sane people

check this one out:

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
