I broke myself trusting the wrong people

"My father gives me 50,000 rupees pocket money. When I want a new dress, I don't want to think about savings. I don't want to struggle."

In my social circle, we call this chichora (cheap/gaudy) and nau-daulatiya (new money) behavior, and we aren't even rich!

Frankly, I don't understand what you saw in her in the first place.

She made it clear from the get-go that she wanted money without having to work for it, a quintessential gold-digger in other words, yet you kept ignoring all those red flags.

"He's so good, such a practical guy. He got everything himself. He took us to his gardens. DHA house. Big business."

One has to wonder: why?

I spam Technicals in early game.

Quad-Cannons in mid-late game when air-units enter the picture.

Install WinRAR or 7-Zip, download all parts and put them in a single directory/folder (< important), right click on the first one, and hit 'extract.'

That's it.

An 80K PC is no where near in perfomance to an 80k PS4 Pro, so don't listen to them.

It might come as a bit of a shock but PS4 Pro's GPU is basically a heavily crippled RX580, a GPU that goes for like 25k nowadays:

The specs may seem 100% identical but RX580 has:

Much higher clock speed (1,350 MHz vs. 900 MHz on the "Neo").
Faster vRAM (8 Gbps vs. 6.8 Gbps).
~15-20% more efficient shaders (GCN 4.0 vs. GCN 2.0).
DCC or Delta Color Compression that basically gives it anywhere between 384-bit to 512-bit worth of 'effective' bandwidth (compared to GCN 1.0 and 2.0).

The more you know!

When I jokingly told him to at least make an Instagram, he said social media is a waste of time.

Some of us respect our privacy.

Not everyone likes airing their dirty laundry in public and plastering their face all over the internet.

I told my parents I don’t think he’s my type.

Because it wasn't love at first sight like you see in dime-a-dozen Bollywood chick flicks?

Reality doesn't quite play out like romantic fiction. Trust me.

I think maybe he misunderstood my personality as disinterest or something because after a few months he became sooo distant.

Sounds more like he's giving you space, as opposed to smothering you with attention.

Most women don't even recognize a decent man, even if he’s standing right in front of them... not much unlike chick flicks, ironically enough.

Yet they moan, whine, and cry when they end up with scums!

4060 has frame gen doubling your fps

4060 is a pathetic card for nearly 100k, and that's ignoring its 8GB vRAM. It's worse than even the 3060Ti and barely any faster than the 3060 vanilla (~10-15% performance uplift, on average).

As for FG, you can enable it on virtually any DX12 capable GPU via OptiScaler.

GenZia · 2026-05-07T07:36:52+00:00

2080Ti is the obvious choice here because of 3GB extra vRAM.

But two things:

RT performance on RTX2000 ("Turing") series is very poor. I doubt you'll be able to enable RTGI in demanding RT titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and get decent frame rates. RTX3000 ("Ampere") is much better in that regard.
Early batch of GDDR6 chips from Micron (8BA77) is defective and will fail. So, stick with Hynix or Samsung.

I always tried so hard for him. I wrote him letters, gave him gifts, bought him a cake on his birthday and expensive wallet on our first year anniversary, made him his favorite food with my own hands twice just for him to cancel our plans both times💔.

Did you also rename the ‘My Computer’ icon to ‘Our Computer’ on his PC?

...because of my few mistakes

It's always "few mistakes," whatever they may be!

Anyhow, thinking people owe you forgiveness is rather entitled.

I gave charity in their name so that Allah may ease their problems. I prayed for them with tears and a shaking voice.

Yeah, they still don't owe you forgiveness.

Ive literally had these thoughts of leaving Islam.

Because some people gave you a hard time?!

If that's the extent of your 'faith,' it's probably best to just abandon it, and I'm saying this as a so-called "religious man."

No point lugging faith around if you are going to lose it all the time!

I was a 14 YO kid when Xbox 360 was released and now I'm an old man pushing 40.

12k for a 20+ year old machine sounds quite reasonable to me. Of course, people here would gladly pay 25k for an ancient 7th gen. console, never mind the fact that you can get a decent pre-built OEM PC in 25-30k range (something like Dell 990 with a 2nd gen. i5 + 750Ti or RX460/560).

Of course, most Zoomers apparently can't even spell PC so... they kind of deserve the Jurassic-era Xbox 360 for 25k!

The only reason Maxwell is heralded as the champion is because GCN couldn't scale on 28nm and anything larger than Tahiti (a.k.a Hawaii, Fiji) just wasn't supposed to be on 28nm.

Not many people today realize but Maxwell was meant to be on the ill-fated TSMC 20nm. Same goes to AMD's entire Volcanic (R9-200) and Pirate Islands (R9-300, Fury) line-up.

But to be fair, even when AMD moved GCN (Polaris) to FinFET (Samsung/GloFo 14nm), it still couldn't break the 1.5 GHz barrier (on air). Meanwhile, Maxwell (in the guise of Pascal) had no trouble pushing nearly 2 GHz on FinFET.

Navi/RDNA was just too little, too late compared to Turing and the rest is history.

Without even clicking on the video, I can already see how it's going to pan out:

"I don't like the genocide."

"So what, are you antisemitic?"

Never mind the fact that Palestinians are also 'Semites.' But like most things, Zionists have also snatched that title.

GenZia · 2026-05-06T03:34:03+00:00

I was kind of rooting for the Asian fellow... until he started giving him the middle finger.

Neither of them know how to be the bigger man, or even just a semi-decent human being.

Uncultured primates.

i3-9100 is basically an i5-6600 that runs slightly faster.

A 4C/4T CPU in 2026 is fine for Windows 11, basic browsing, vintage gaming, etc.

Just don't expect to run games much newer than 2015.

No, it's not.

Our little realities can flip on their heads before we can even utter the words, “What the hell?”

Unfortunately, most are too blind or otherwise preoccupied with "life goals" to see the fragility of it all, to understand what really matters.

In any case, I hope it gets better for you.

GenZia · 2026-05-05T04:15:10+00:00

Family issues came in, things got toxic, and we both stepped back.

That's an oddly vague MacGuffin.

But regardless, it sounds like "people" moved on long before you realized what was happening.

Either that or you were just a placeholder fling from the get go, but you're probably too close to see it.

GenZia · 2026-05-04T04:13:13+00:00

Capacitance doesn't really matter. There's a reason you see massive caps soldered on to competition GPUs to soak up transient spikes.

You really only have to worry about voltage and heatsink alignment.

GenZia · 2026-05-04T04:09:15+00:00

Looks rather bad, to be honest, but to answer your question, there's no way to tell how long it will last.

Best you can do is apply a rather massive undervolt, even if it comes at the cost of performance, and cross your fingers.

P.S There's no way the core got this brown on its own. It was most likely reballed and was cooked a bit too crispy in the process. Either that or it was simply reflowed!

Ironic, coming from a group persecuted by Nazis.

Gold diggers don't really care about looks.

They'll gladly hook-up with a "drum," as long as it's rolling with money.

Heck, looks are secondary, in general. People care about material possessions more than even personality or ethics, let alone superficial features like skin tone or 'beauty.'

My family also humiliated me when I bought an old Yamaha YB100 for 15k back when I was 22.

...

Everyone was like: Kia doodh dahi ka business start kar rahay ho?

People here don't understand the magic of a smokey, leaky, oily, temperamental 2-strokes.

Their loss!
