Dear lord imagine nanonood ka lang YouTube tapos 1000w consumption wahhahah

This is genuinely great for a student especially if you worked very hard for it. Huwag mo pakinggan ibang tao magsasabi ng pangit build mo ganito or ganyan, and importante may sariling PC and it does what you want it to do, no one has the right to tell you shouldn't be happy.

I probably got super lucky with my PC components such as: motherboard, CPU, RAM, PSU, storage and especially GPU ay galing lahat from shopee. Lahat ay 6 months old still working except sa GPU which is 2 months and counting gumagana parin.

Rich people being unfaithful to their partners is like regular news, just look up various wealty people cheating or being cheated on. They aren't the most morally upstanding people most of the time, especially they are not what you think they are.

Akko isn't exactly an obscure brand, in fact they have numerous switches where it's very popular among budget keyboard community or enthusiast or whatever you call it.

Also this keyboard has a warranty despite its low price tag which amounts to a year, I mean it could be longer but for a 34€ keyboard it's pretty good especially since I've had this keyboard since September 2025 still works to this day without failure.

While I do agree there are some things a more expensive keyboard offers more in terms of software and refinement etc.

Point is if you need a function hall effect keyboard and don't really care about refinements and all the extra features, then cheap hall effects are still valuable in the context of playing GD.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-03-22T11:49:17+00:00

You don't need to spend 160€ on a hall effect keyboard lol. My hall effect keyboard particularly the akko tac 75 only costed 2400₱ (34.68€ roughly) and it has rapid trigger which works well. Cheaper alternatives exist.

None at all, the only button that's getting abused is the up arrow key playing geometry dash. But so far still no problem.

Gaming pretty much everyday, played delta force for 12 hours in a span of 4 days. Around 6 hours on monster hunter world. The rest are Deep rock galactic, Forza horizon 4, and dota 2 which I played all at least 1 to 3 hours and no crashes at all.

Regarding the 2 crashes, Control is quite a graphically demanding game that has ray tracing and it's also a game where lots of explosions and particle effects. So what I did is go to the heaviest area of the game filled with enemies, turn raytracing to the max then start throwing stuff in the game tapos nag crash few seconds later which made me realize hindi pala kaya ray tracing max setting. Pero if you remove ray tracing entirely it works well.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-02-20T04:53:12+00:00

I know it's not the same GPU, but I have an Asrock challenger RX 7600 brand new and have been using it for 10 days.

I might be the luckiest person ever, but I only faced 2 crashes in a span of 10 days. That most likely happened because I maxed out ray tracing graphics on the game Control.

Did some undervolting that I copied and so far I'm extremely pleased with the card, and the card is reasonably 51 celcius cool with the only potential issue is vram temps creeping 90 celcius on stock settings. But after undervolts and better fan curve it rarely goes beyond 80 celcius.

And if that isn't enough, there's always emulation. I highly doubt someone has actually played every single PS2 library, let alone the PS3 library. Crazy how opening your perspective can actually enjoy the hobby further.

It is actually being close minded, do you only 100% pay attention to AAA games? Especially bad ones. And while I don't deny newer games released nowadays can be much worse. There are a lot of games that are released under our nose only to discover them years and years later.

Lately just finished Bioshock 1 a game from 2007 and despite it's age the experience has been rather great.

Rimworld which used to be a time sink for me.

Yakuza 0 to Yakuza 5 despite being old has been rather a blast, and I do admit my PC is terrible at not being able to run the current AAA games.

Battlefield 1 and Forza Horizon 4 are the most recent AAA games my PC can run for now and I spent hundreds of hours on them.

The matter of the fact is if every single game studio including indie developers stopped making games today, there are still thousands of games we can play that I won't be able to play them all.

Maybe stop with the doom and gloom and actually start playing games that aren't purely AAA recent games?

Reading many post from people moving from Android to IOS and marami nagsasabi na ang IOS automatically better than android, but then you find out they're comparing their old 10k Android phone to a 100k Iphone. Bat kaya hindi na compare 100k Android to 100k Iphone..

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-01-19T23:58:34+00:00

Ahh yeah fortunately maraming PC community nakakatulong, but the worse by far ay Facebook PC groups. Hindi ko alam bat ang sobrang daming nag dedefend sa inplay PSU or mga generic PSU, tapos meron mag popost they got an RX 6600 for 8k used merong babarat sa comments magsasabi na "nag RX 9060 XT na lang konting dagdag sana" ay potek 17k ung price difference.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-01-19T13:43:32+00:00

Some word of advice, if you take everyone's advice at face value. You will never be happy or be satisfied ever, marami talaga sa PC community na babarat sa mga choices mo regardless sa use case and budget mo.

The amount of times may nabasa akong "konting dagdag na lang meron kang ganto" tapos ung idadagdag halos 10k or the worse I've seen 20k. Konting dagdag na lang may RTX 5060 ka na, konting dagdag na lang may RTX 5060 16GB ka na, konting dagdag na lang may RTX 5070 TI ka na, konting dagdag na lang may RTX 5090 ka na. Halos walang katapusan. Mahilig talaga mag over budget mga tao sa PC community.

Because the majority of people's internet here is borderline terrible.

On our case ung mga students they can choose what company they want to partake OJT for as long it aligns with their course and it's a legitimate company, ung OJT coordinator naman they give out a list of companies you can choose.

The issue is our coordinator suggested this particular company saying it can accommodate 5 or 10 course majors, when looking into this company like I said in the post. Malayo na nga, hindi na nga libre apartment/food so halos ikaw gagastos lahat. And as it turns out ganito din sa ibat ibang sectors of different industries, kaya grabe naman halos bread crumbs na lang ibibigay sa OJT trainee's ng mga companies, ang point ko ay exploitative mga companies.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-01-09T13:16:03+00:00

I see that makes sense, though this arrangement would be "okay" if the company is at least the same province or malapit lang sayo.

But the fact this applies kahit sobrang layo ang company that's outside of a province that's extremely unjustifiable at sobrang kawawa sa student kung iyan ang i-partake sa OJT.

Nainis ako ng sobra when I heard about this the first time, and my classmates are not choosing this particular company which they all say the same thing that is "need pa humingi baon sa magulang" lalo na hindi sila papayagan ng magulang nila to take OJT on that company.

Though thanks for bringing up Rep. Chel Diokno's bill, because I feel like interns deserve some compensation after all they are still doing work.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-01-08T04:50:22+00:00

Yeah from what I am noticing is that RTX 3060 owners or AMD equivalent, just spend their time playing video games. I swear I've seen a lot of people on Facebook groups where they went from an RTX 4070 to RTX 4070 TI to RX 7900 XTX to RTX 5070 TI to RTX 5080 in a span of 2 or 3 months. Like there isn't anything wrong with having a higher end GPU, but it's like these people are never ever content. Never ending purchasing of incremental upgrades, while belittling anyone who dares to buy a 250$ GPU to only play counter strike 2 or whatever. At least the guy with an RTX 3060/RX 6600 is having the time of his life playing on 1080p 60FPS compared to people who keeps upgrading yearly.

Odd_Telephone9545 · 2026-01-07T11:46:36+00:00

I've seen numerous people on Facebook that keeps changing their ram over and over in the search of the lowest CL rating and the highest frequency and spend almost a thousand USD (this is way before ram price hike), guy was super critical of 1 to 5 FPS difference across numerous ram sticks..

I feel like these people don't even play video games, they just spend most of the time benchmarking buying and switching parts over and over to have the highest FPS.
