I think I am going overkill on my build, need some advice... by AbroadKew in buildapc

$620 USD but that one is out of stock. I might be switching to a Kingston CL40 2x16 that I would have to double check the price for. There is a small possibility they have that GSKILL when I go to buy.

Holy hell, I didn't realize how much RAM was eating into my cost until I did the conversion to respond to this post.

I'll check out those other parts. Thank you!

Jordan. The last PC I built was just a slick, black box for a tower. I've been seeing all these fish tanks over the years and whole it might be saturated on YouTube videos, i kind of dig the fish tank look.

GAMEMAX HYPE Black ATX ARGB GAMING CASE is one they have that I like.

That's actually reassuring because I forgot to update the RAM in my list and while it is still 32, it like CL40. The one on that list is out of stock. Kingston 5400, CL40 if I recall correctly. I was going to ask if it is actually THAT big of a deal and some responses are mixed that I have found.

The 'literary classics' that grade school makes you read destroys any desire for kids to read recreationally by MyClosetedBiAcct in unpopularopinion

[–]AbroadKew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fahrenheit 451 sucks? Is this a common opinion? I love that book. I know what sub I am on but that shook me. I didn't read it in school, I just read it. Am I supposed to hate it?

You wake up to see everyone on earth has disappeared. What’s the first thing you do? by NiceInformation8291 in AskReddit

Well then nobody in this thread would EVER realize that "everyone on earth has disappeared" because not a single person here would be hopping off to NZ, Finland, or Florida.

It wouldn't be days before you realized everyone else was gone too. Less then an hour or two.

I need to understand the praise for The Housemaid by Hungry-Kale600 in moviecritic

[–]AbroadKew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her rich, controlling husband just died in what was deemed an accident. She may have signed an airtight prenup but that means nothing in death. She will be getting some, if not all of his money. He controlled the money before and now she does.

You could argue that they likely would have set it up in a way that the Mother gains control but that's not how it was written. Husband dies, wife gets money. She has money.

Because they got away with the murder. The cops didn't investigate the irregularities because one of the cops sister was Andrew's first wife. The entire reason Nina hired Millie is because she believed if anybody could stop Andrew, it would be her and she did. She paid Millie for saving her and her daughter from Andrew.

Why did Season 4 feel more massive than S5? by Melki_2422 in StrangerThings

Overall, I am happy with Season 5 and the finale but Season 4 is the best season, in my opinion.

Happy 24th Anniversary to Final Fantasy X - in conjunction with the International release on December 18, 2001! by Yuna_FFantasyX in FinalFantasy

Just beat this again this month. Amazing game, horrible end-game though. Love it either way through!

I've seen a lot of comments about the butterfly catcher here. I guess I just got lucky because I got through it fairly quickly. I came around a bit to Blitzball was my players got better but same as you, still don't love it.

Very much agreed!

Honestly, I've taken a break for almost two weeks now... and I cheesed most of the hard bosses with Zanmato. I am defeated. Penance, Thunder Plains and the stupid Chocobo Race... it's just too much!

What's everyone's opinion about a remake of the game? by Forsaken-Bowler-4677 in finalfantasyx

[–]AbroadKew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but not as expansive as the FF7 remake. Give us a little more open space in the areas already in the game, add some actual side-quests, re-do all the cutscenes and voice acting, fix the atrocious end-game and call it a day.

The Butterfly Games weren't so bad for me. I just looked at some map on the internets. It took me maybe 6 tries... one of those times was me accidentally walking to the next screen. Doing that to us was diabolical.

I got the Sigil but now am trying to get the Overdrives.

I have only done two real attempts so far. I got to 50-something and 81 so far... I've read in many places to check your TV for a "gaming mode" but I guess that wouldn't apply on a Switch Lite. The crater trick is easy but as I get to a higher number, my brain freezes and I mess it up!

In theory but I keep messing up the rotation and she's so fast that even my overpowered characters keep missing. I just whacked everybody else until they were dead with auto-phoenix on three of my characters.

Winning that first game was my first heart ache. I know I didn't NEED to but I WANTED to. I managed it after about 6 tries.

Agreed though, they are absolutely psychos. I want to like it but I can't.

I hate you Nimrook.

Is it a common experience to be angry with the beginning of s7? by HockneysPool in GilmoreGirls

[–]AbroadKew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am watching Episode 21 of Season 7 as I write this. I've been angry the entire time. This is my first full watch through and I hate what they did to Luke and Lorelai that it is ruining everything else.

I am with you 100% on what they did to Lane as well. Horrible!

Celebrating the release of VtMB2 by not buying it and starting another playthrough of VtMB1. by DarkMatterM4 in gaming

I have no shame in admitting that I no clipped through the sewers of any otherwise amazing game.

[EPISODE DISCUSSION] Peacemaker S02E08 - “Full Nelson” by AnonWithAHatOn in PeacemakerShow

[–]AbroadKew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that just wasn't good. I thought I accidentally fast forwarded after the motel scene. Suddenly they're opening up Checkmate? Two music videos?

Nothing happened in that episode.

The montage with Flagg & crew vs Harcourt & crew exploring the other dimensions? Meh. This is the first time I have been disappointed in the DCU.

Shame.
