I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.
50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.
Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

"PC Gaming can be cheaper than console gaming!" People are in shambles now that JPEG speculators have killed the low end.
We're just now getting back to $200 GPUs, but at some point the CPU market moved upscale and I have no idea why people are just completely forgoing the low end.
"But the X3D gets 600fps in CS" who fucking cares???
People who get very specific about high framerates in eSports games need to be told politely, but firmly, that a higher framerate will not make them suck less at the game.
COINCIDENTALLY
Phoronix published some CPU benchmarks on linux the other day with a 1080P focus, and basically everything they ran would do well over 60fps even on a like, 6600. A card which can be had on ebay for well under $200 now.
idk how true that is but it sure feels like the industry managed to convince People that "budget" means "mid-high end that's several years old and on clearance" if not downright "last or previous last mid-end on second hand market".
still feels fucking insane to me to recommend any component that is higher than 200€$ for a budget rig :/
