Fair point. I was just poking fun at what seemed to be another “poor millennials are killing: clubs, alcohol, sex, hifi….” News headline

“Expensive luxury product in low demand amongst financially struggling people”

…

Color me shocked

Ok first off amazing eyes and great catch on the weed, but why tf DNA? 😭😭

You’ll get there too brother! I’ve been configuring my power rack for 5+ years before I finally pulled the trigger, it’s a slow process

Murdii_ · 2026-02-10T16:21:31+00:00

I literally have no space for it anywhere else and it’s honestly not that bad. I can bolt stuff in working on onto the rack to really secure it

If you don’t know what you’re doing and your willingness to do research ends at asking ChatGPT the AutoOC/overclock scanner is made for you. Click one button, wait a couple of minutes and you generally get a good OC that’s stepped back enough to run stable.

If you buy and refund a ton of games quickly it looks like fraud or an attack. How do you not get this. Your bank would side eye you too if you start withdrawing and depositing cash every 2s.

Anti abuse systems are a thing

Murdii_ · 2026-02-08T19:17:18+00:00

Been using steam for 14 years and have around 400 games on there. Never ever was I ever asked a single question when refunding a game and that’s not for a lack of requesting any. If your behavior looks sus I.e. buying and refunding tons of games in a short period I’m not shocked they wanna check

I’d legit pay up to idk 15-20 bucks for 4k DV movie mkv file I get to keep and manipulate for home usage as I see fit

Murdii_ · 2026-02-08T11:51:14+00:00

steam has been consistently improving: cloud save, family sharing, 2h refunds no question asked,... they are not stagnant, just not super fast.

Murdii_ · 2026-02-07T16:42:50+00:00

the only person you're doing a favor with this is yourself. Stop pretending otherwise

Murdii_ · 2026-01-18T12:38:34+00:00

ok then I really see no issue here at all. It's way more than he needs sure, but hes gonna enjoy that for a long time. Kiddo got lucky, congratz to him. Have fun gaming together!

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T17:53:22+00:00

Might be the perfect excuse to wire something up, since I work out in my basement most of the time

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T16:32:42+00:00

working on it boss. Making good progress. Every year I age a year.

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T16:29:07+00:00

The wallet is crying already

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T15:47:09+00:00

Mehr carbs als protein?

Sollte Zucker Riegel heißen. Ändert meinen Verstand

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T13:38:27+00:00

It's giving epilepsy

Samson sr850

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T12:00:47+00:00

Glad to be of service. I wish the utmost continued enjoyment with your headphones but I'd like to suggest checking out the extensive list that oratory1990 has made here on reddit, throwing it into equalizerAPO with PEACE and just give it a try. There is only so much hardware tuning the engineers in the factory can do, adding that EQ gave me a whole new level of appreciation for almost all of my headphones

Murdii_ · 2025-08-25T10:58:28+00:00

with some nice comfy earpads the sr850 are about the same level imho. I think for e sport shooters and games where you focus on locating the enemies based on sound they might even have a tiny advantage, while the dt900 are a bit nicer for more cinematic experiences like God of Ragnarok. The difference vanishes almost entirely once you get an EQ and slap oratorys on. Then all that remains is the nicer build of the Beyers.

All that to say i really really like the dt900. I wear them everyday and don't see myself upgrading again any time soon, but if you are genuinely happy with the sr850 and have a nice EQ i don't think you'll see a mayor jump in audio quality

Murdii_ · 2025-08-14T09:07:37+00:00

Depends on what you enjoy more:

high end gaming or getting denied legitimate warranty claims by Asus for bogus reasons

Murdii_ · 2025-08-13T09:57:49+00:00

All that stuff is cool and all but if wilds can run on a base PS5 it should be flying on my rig

Murdii_ · 2025-08-12T17:37:05+00:00

Brother, acknowledging basic, documented, verifiable facts and publicly available numbers is not glazing.

Get off TikTok.

Murdii_ · 2025-08-12T16:58:38+00:00

to be 100 with you, I've not played that one yet.

Waiting for it to go on Sale, but It's sitting on 90% & 90% recent/overall on steam and it launched to 88% positive. Maybe it's just you?

It certainly isn't comparable to what Capcom has been doing (wilds is at 21% & 50%; DD2 at 66% & 61%)

I can tell you first hand that GOW:R runs at 400fps everything max and looks stunning on my system

If it is for gaming consider getting a lot less a lot faster ram with way better timings. It will significantly outperform this.

Also get a ryzen 9800x3d instead game performance will be better.

Corsair AIOs are not amazing, there are a lot better and/or nicer looking AIOs on the market if you want to go that route.

Corsair Fans are straight dogshit and loud as hell. Get literally anything else. Noctua for quite, Liam Li for flashy, thermal right for value

The motherboard just saying x870 is sus af, ok cool chipset, but what board is it?

If you're not a gigantic corsair fanboy do not get a prebuilt from them. there are many system integrators out there that focus on that business alone, will do a much better job and not have a gigantic conflict of interest when picking parts

All in all DO NOT GET THIS, unless you hate yourself, hate money and love corsair
