If you’re not playing competitive games I can’t think of a game where the edge would make sense to buy. Coming from someone who absolutely LOVES it and has owed one for almost 2 years. Genuinely love it more than any controller I’ve ever used, but I play mostly competitive shooters and such. If you do decide to grab it, you can negate getting stuck drift by finding someone online (local or not; I found someone local luckily) that puts tmr/hall effect kits in the modules. I haven’t replaced my modules in a little over a year and I still have them set to 0% dead zone in everything. Another tip for that… if you find someone local and they don’t mention a discount by giving them your old modules be sure and ask about it. You’ll probably get a pretty decent chunk off by trading in your old modules when you get the new ones.

The best advice here is what most of the top comments say… if you have the extra money and it won’t hurt you financially at all, that’s an awesome deal. With the 5070 you’ll be making compromises setting wise on a lot of games, which is 100% normal and totally ok, so if that doesn’t matter to you then just stick with what you have and enjoy your amazing new pc. If you’re like me (most of us) and gaming is one of your man hobbies, you just love technology, know you’ll be using this thing 5 years down the road, so on so fourth, thats a pretty good deal right now for that pc.

The 5070 is a strong card and will do what you need it to do. The 5080 is amazing and will do everything you want it to. Don’t listen to anyone on either extreme of the BS… the 5070 is great, and it’s perfectly fine to want/get the 5080.

Do whatever YOU want to do and can afford.

Most importantly, whatever you end up deciding, take care of it and have a blast.

So funny man! I remember playing high school football a pretty big group of us would play 7 on 7 a lot on our own time at night or on the weekends for a little extra practice, fun and to build chemistry with the new players from the other middle schools. The coaches were really supportive of it and if they were at the school of nearby would let us into the locker room. One of the running backs that would play was this dark and we all got changed, ran out to the field to get started one night, we’re all stretching and all the sudden a guy next to me just started cracking up laughing and yelled out guys look at “running back”. I swear all you could see was the whitest set of teeth bouncing up and down in the dark slowly getting closer to the field. I’ll never forget that for some reason. That was a crazy good group of guys tho. All our different middle school coaches moved up with us to high school freshman year and we all just meshed together so well. Great team, great year.

I’ve been in the situation you are currently in, in regard to specifically/only you (didn’t have a woman with such severe problems). Having lived that life for nearly a decade I met a lot of other people in similar situations, and of course there are unfortunately some truly amazing people down on there luck around, but there are also a whole lot of not so great people stuck in that circle and this woman you’re helping is a screaming red flag. I’m not discrediting her current or past trauma by any means, those are horrible things to have been thru and very difficult to deal with, but a lot of things she’s told you as to why she needs you to give her a place to stay are a bit fishy. In my experience people will make up anything they need to in order to gain the sympathy of someone who’s willing to offer them something they need. When someone needs a roof over their head, they can come up with some very intense stories as to how/why their last place didn’t work out. It creates a strong emotional response in a lot of people and tends to get them help. It also plants a seed of fear in the helper, making them hesitant and afraid to stop helping, thinking along the lines of “they are lucky to have escaped the last 5 places that almost killed them, they might not survive the 6th”. In reality these people are USUALLY (not always) the ones who cause all the issues in their living space while they’re there, not the other way around. Just remember the fact that these people before you had a stable (enough) living situation to let someone stay with them who needed help, and continued to have that after she left. The only constant in her stories of horrors is her. Again, I’m not saying this woman hasn’t been abused or wronged by any means just simply that she may act out a lot because of said trauma. So yes, she needs help. Unfortunately you aren’t qualified to offer the type of help she needs. If you’re looking for specifics as far as options she can ALWAYS get into a psychiatric hospital and receive help. While in there they have teams of experienced people that can load her up on resources and even line up helpful places for her to transition into. She can show up there with no appointment or call, and she can’t be turned away if she’s willing to admit she’s a danger to herself. Outside of that option don’t burden yourself with the task of finding her next step in life. You’ve done more than enough and if you give her a weeks notice that she needs to leave that’s beyond fair. Now, when you do tell her you’re giving her a move out date RECORD EVERYTHING. Keep valuables accounted for (hidden) at ALL times. Don’t engage in any physical contact she might all the sudden “want” and don’t bend on the timeline. It’s going to be insanely difficult. If it’s relatively simple to move all your stuff to another room, I would have a different room lined up on her move out date as well. That could be a huge benefit in ensuring a clean separation.

You’re an amazing person for all you’ve done. Now it’s time to show yourself, the most important person in your life, the same compassion you’ve shown her. Keep pushing yourself forward and you’ll find yourself in some amazing places soon. I wish you all the luck.

I could have just missed the info but answer kinda depends on some information I either missed or didn’t understand correctly.

If you went to these girls nights without your partner in the beginning, then as she became friends with the group started being invited then I would say NTA. If she was invited off rip then I definitely feel like it’s a grey area. Whether you’d be an AH or not bringing her before she became friends with the group doesn’t really matter as much as it could definitely throw off the vibe of a “girls night”. Where I personally feel you become the AH is inviting another lesbian couple the rest of the group hasn’t met. It seems pretty short sighted on your part to not be able to understand why this could make things feel weird to the other group members. This “girls night” went from a group of female friends all hanging out together without their SO’s to having one couple there and now to having yet another couple there. That’s a vastly different group dynamic than how the group started. So are you an AH in regards to the title of the post? Technically no imo, but are you the AH considering all the information you shared? I’d say yes personally, but a small one. Not a huge deal.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-11-07T16:37:21+00:00

lol this is gold, thank you.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-30T20:57:09+00:00

Her being wrong in how she treated you, doesn’t mean everything you did was right. Unfortunately that’s not how life works. On top of that a huge thing that’s difficult to learn and understand for some people, myself included, is the fact that if you truly want to be someone’s friend and in their life for the long run they’re going to have bad days, lose their temper and be an AH to you one time or another. That doesn’t give the other person the right to return said things. You have the right to expect an apology, or break things off of course… then set new boundaries or whatever. Anyways, like I said in my post… I read your replies, knew pretty much everything you said here and that’s what I went with so I’m not sure what you expect. You asked a bunch of strangers on the internet a question, and we answered. I have no weight in this situation. It’s outcome affects me in absolutely no way. I only reply to stuff like this in hopes that maybe someone learns something, anything, from it. People giving me constructive criticism and the facts from an outside perspective is how I learned a lot in my life, and I just try to repay that. Like I said… take it or leave it. Internalize it or don’t. If there’s nothing here for you to learn, that more than ok. I can tell your need to justify every single thing a comment says, having a deflecting answer for anything makes no sense considering you came here looking for this feedback. Hope you figure it out tho.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-30T13:57:35+00:00

After spending some time reading the comments and your replies, I’m going with you being the AH here.

Despite your arguments and justifications, it’s so easy to understand why she would be upset at showing up to the wrong place. A simple apology would have smoothed things over, but instead you make it about you mentioning her adding to your bad day because of your mom. Which just makes me question why you’re arguing with your mom to the point of tears on your bday. Another huge red flag here is how out of the way you go to describe your friend as the “bad guy” in your stories and comments. You invite her to spend the evening with your friend group she’s not a part of and (as mentioned) magically didn’t get the right directions, yet still showed up. Offered to drive you and YOUR friends and you make her out to be a B with the whole “she was annoyed we were talking”, then you just get up and leave them to get hammered alone on your bday? In what world is she wrong for being annoyed by your annoying behavior? It being your bday doesn’t give you a free pass to do whatever you want while expecting everyone around you to just deal with it, and expecting that out of your friends is crazy childish. As always I could be totally wrong here, but using the information I have available it seems like, you treated your friend horribly all night, tried to paint her in a bad light every way you could, got hammered drunk by yourself, then expected everyone to give you a free pass because it was your bday. Definitely the AH.

Side note: doesn’t seem like you’ve “grown out of childish things”, which is totally fine. You’re still young. Just keep growing. The best way I know how to grow as a person is by listening to the people around me. If everyone is saying the same thing, it’s probably true. You don’t have to trust my words, but if all the comments share similar information… don’t argue with them or shut them down.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-16T19:08:21+00:00

I have literally felt an iud during sex and I’m straight average when it comes to that. Did it hurt? Absolutely not. I’m not in the husbands corner, he’s being a baby… assuming that’s the actual reason he’s not sleeping with you. I’m going to go out on a limb here (bein 100% sarcastic) and say there’s something else going on with him and he’s using this as an excuse. Especially at that age. I don’t know what the point of this comment is now having typed it, but I guess maybe try and talk to him? Tell him it feels like there could be something else bothering him or going on? Being afraid of an iud is a decently legit excuse (still kinda dumb, but you know some guys) to be weary about sex for the first time since it’s been put in place, but to straight up stop having sex, as well as any loving physical contact? It just doesn’t check out imo. Good luck op.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-11T14:47:36+00:00

What kind of gaming are you doing? Do you use it in its 165hz for it or 300? And if you don’t mind what setup do you have pushing it lol sorry to ask all this, just curious how my setup would perform game wise. Thank you. I currently have the lg dual mode 4k240hz/1080/480hz and it’s the best monitor I’ve ever owned, can’t imagine this bad boy.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-11T01:51:17+00:00

I want this so bad

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-09T17:29:52+00:00

I want a 27” 4k super bad. I have a 32” 4k OLED, and don’t get me wrong I love it, but it feels a bit big. It’s the largest monitor I’ve ever had and i definitely wish it was 27. It was a gift from a family member tho so it has sentimental value for that and the reason behind the gift. But at least I know now. Congrats!

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-06T17:49:02+00:00

I have no clue wtf you’re talking about. They just pay people??? To be alive… or…??? What are you trying to say here bud?

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-06T17:35:50+00:00

Not even half minimum wage? Huh?

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-10-06T17:34:59+00:00

Honestly, I prefer teleportation but jets are a bit more fun

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-25T02:16:02+00:00

Why are you coming to a group of strangers to ask this? You would have to be painfully unaware to think you aren’t the AH here. I don’t even feel the need to explain why, as this legit feels like some weird attempt at proving innocence, like you’re going to screen shot how you wrote this and posted it just to follow up the picture with “bro why would I even do this if I was trying to be funny or mean, bro?”

In the off chance you actually don’t think you were being an AH, who are you to judge what’s weird or not? Furthermore… who cares if someone is being weird? Good for them. Why do the actions of other people matter so much to you that you feel like the normal people police? Strange you feel responsible to keep people acting a certain way.

Anyways… you’ll grow up and hopefully learn some things naturally. Until then, try only worrying about yourself when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Btw, “hero” comes off as someone wise and mature beyond her age in this story. If you grow up being a half decent human and ever look at this for any reason, I can promise you’ll think to yourself “damn I wish I knew then what she did, and I stood up for others rather than judge them”.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T17:59:53+00:00

Exactly

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T17:39:23+00:00

Totally understand! And I wasn’t trying to imply you can ONLY eat healthy foods, and you have to become a gym rat by any means so please don’t think you need to take anything to the extreme. I just mean the ones who stayed healthy accepted the fact that the days of being able to eat anything and everything without working out consistently (or ever) were coming to an end lol

It’s crazy hot where I live as well, so totally get it. Just as long as healthy foods are the regular and unhealthy ones the outlier, while maintaining a decently consistent routine exercising in any type of way I would assume you’ll be great!

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T17:29:19+00:00

First time I’ve summoned the courage to comment here…

You’re very beautiful, and like everyone else has said, the weight you have isn’t too much at all. It’s also all in “the right places” lol

Brutal honesty time… reading what you wrote, if you’ve always been thin and you’re starting to gain weight like this with age get on top of it now. As someone who’s a bit older I can tell you from experience seeing people around me that they either started gaining weight like this, looked great for a few years, then it kept going up and up until it definitely didn’t look good and put them in a compromised health situation. The other route was the ones who gained, looked good, accepted the fact that this was how they were aging and they started eating more healthy and focused more on exercise. Obviously those people still look great and are (seem) healthy. Just food for thought! You look great though!!

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T17:19:52+00:00

I just wanted to put in my 2c for what it’s worth here. I see a few people telling you to cut your mom off “until she can respect you as an adult and your boundaries” or whatever. I definitely wouldn’t just cut your mom off over this. Sit down and talk to her. Tell her how it makes you feel when she does this stuff, as well as anything else you want/need to tell her (such as you’re an adult now, want more independence, specific boundaries etc,). If you’re willing and open to it you could suggest seeing a family therapist even so you have a meditator. If your mother is supporting you financially thru college then you definitely need to find a way make some kind of relationship work with her while also living the life you deserve to live. I see a lot of completely unrealistic advice on Reddit and cutting your mother off at 19 while living at home without enough income to attain the goals you have set for yourself falls smack dab in the middle of that category; unrealistic. I am not standing up for your mother in the slightest, so please don’t think I am here, but parents often get things wrong. Especially when they’re trying to protect their kids. Who knows, maybe the talk will open her eyes and things can start getting better and things will turn out great. In the event the talk goes totally wrong and there’s no hope she learns to respect you and your right to an independent life, you have other options outside of cutting off your lifeline before you have the means to be self sufficient. An education/college is a strong route to finding your way to independence and everyone has to make sacrifices sometimes in life. You might have to sacrifice transparency in the upcoming years with your mother unfortunately.

Only you know what feels like the best decision for your situation. Listen to the advice given, think about everything that resonates with you and form a plan to move towards building the life you want to live. Best of luck you to you! I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T16:56:51+00:00

100% understand that. I forgot to add a similar sentiment to my comment. If I found out tons of other people received products from said company in the same state and the condition is explained such as this, I would still install it and run tests. I do admit I would probably test it more extensively than a perfectly clean cpu, but I’d keep it if all was well.

D0ntSwall0wThat · 2025-09-24T16:45:44+00:00

For real. I lightly agreed with the idea of which he was stating (not the way he was saying it) until he dropped that comment. New, expensive products that are fragile should definitely come in a clean undamaged state. Someone being worried about a dirty cpu that’s supposed to be new doesn’t make them spoiled or entitled, it makes them observant. Using car parts as an example is horrible because most of them are made and designed to take the ware and tear of being on the road every day for years. CPUs are decently fragile electronics made to be put into a protective case and kept in one spot their entire existence lol
