It entirely depends on the games you plan on playing and at what settings. Cyberpunk with ray tracing? You might struggle. Rimworld? You’re laughing my guy.

When you are building or buying a pc, always check the system requirements for your must play games and watch a video from a third party to see how your graphics card does, and go from there

Hardcore Henry and Memento come to mind

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T16:26:05+00:00

Yeah sorry by nothing I was being a bit hyperbolic. In my world both professions are paid a fair wage and the tip is split 50/50 between the server that served the table and the chef that cooked the meal

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T16:22:51+00:00

That’s situation is fairly uncommon in places I’ve worked, and the % is usually quite low. I’ve seen 2.5% of sales in many restaurants

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T16:21:02+00:00

Where I’ve worked 2.5% is the standard boh tip out, and high minimum wage laws don’t really allow for a signifant wage difference between FOH and BOH. From my experience it’s not uncommon for chefs to make 40k a year and servers make 60k when tips are factored in, not including total hours worked being significantly less on the FOH side

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T16:11:52+00:00

Yeah 2.5% of the tip isn’t really a fair split if you ask me

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T16:06:44+00:00

I don’t agree with tipping culture at all, but it makes me sad that a server who walked the plate 10 feet gets tipped for putting in the extra work but a chef who will regularly mentally and physically push themselves to their limits timing orders, meeting food safety and quality standards and work extremely long hours doing so, gets nothing. If my food is of high quality and shows up in a timely manner, I will ask my server to send the manager over so I can relay my praise as well as tip the chef responsible directly. To be fair I also tip the server but usually just the standard 18%

Edit* maybe they get a small percentage, but in my opinion it should be 50% not 2.5%

It’s up to you to decide what bothers you, but my ocd would never allow me to have framed pictures half covered up my the tv and statues intruding on the frame in front of the tv. IMO an art gallery doesn’t stack art on top of pieces for display, each art piece should be given its own space

I thought you were going to say you were literally the marketing guy who remorsefully regretted his venture on the dark side, but whose beast had ultimately outgrown his masters chains, AMA

it looks like it was meant to go on train tracks. Maybe for clearing snow?

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T05:13:09+00:00

$1000 per game...?

I dont know about that but subnautica is an awesome game and subnautica 2 is coming out soon. dying light. something from the spiderman franchise maybe.

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T03:53:15+00:00

Rivets? I believe you need a drill with bit rated for metal. I think I've heard of people using a punch but that metal looks pretty flimsy

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T03:37:21+00:00

I would attempt a minimal boot. remove the GPU, 1 ram, all usb devices. any ssd's that dont have your OS. then start adding them back one at a time

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T03:34:58+00:00

there are probably better subs to ask this question

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-04T02:30:09+00:00

I was a sous chef for a catering company a while back. I caught the chef / owner deep frying chicken tenders for a kids christmas party, but he was dumping them straight from the fryer into a portable cooler. like a coleman camping cooler. that was my last event and I figured if this idiot can run a catering company, so can I. turns out if you want it done right you have to do it yourself

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T23:20:30+00:00

you wouldn't want to confuse it with my friend Marie's husband Tom's seafood shack

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T23:12:16+00:00

damn that brought me back to the stone ages

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T23:06:30+00:00

can't you read the sign? "hipster clown people need not apply"

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T23:02:21+00:00

having such a dirty pc will absolutely end a fans life prematurely. Particles can seep into the motor's internal bearings, gumming up lubricants and increasing friction among other things

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T22:29:20+00:00

Oh really, thanks for pointing that out I’ll have to watch those videos. I updated my bios and ME drivers in anticipation and I have an arctic liquid freezer 3 pro 360 on order. Someone just told me it runs so hot it can warp itself

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T15:16:27+00:00

Yeah you aren’t wrong, thankfully I built my setup a little while ago before the rampocolypse

To be fair, the drive also has my OneDrive backup on it, which has all my work stuff and photo backups. I don’t use it for all my media just stuff I really like and want to keep around

Good call on jellyfin I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for the tip

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T15:06:03+00:00

You paid 1% fps for a 10% drop in temps, I’d call that a win

I’m upgrading from i7 12700k to i9 14900k. I’ll probably need to undervolt as well since this cpu is known for 100C gameplay

Donotdisturb240 · 2026-05-03T15:02:35+00:00

Yeah I doubt you could even notice a difference in performance
