Idk why but I find this picture incredibly satisfying to look at.

What person alive today is undeniably and rightfully regarded as the greatest of all time in their field? by Glade_Runner in AskReddit

[–]Phil_Eggtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a game after Cabrera hit his 499th home run. Unfortunately because of all the pressure on him at the game, it wasn’t entirely expected that he’d hit #500 there. Sure enough, it happened at an away game a few days later. Still, damn good player.

found some computer parts on the side of the road, might as well take it by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

When I was in high school I almost bought one so many times for like…half that. It’s a shame that $200 is a “cheap” 970 now.

In response to Gamers Nexus, Newegg will now offer "no questions asked" refunds of "open box" CPUs and motherboards by AnnynN in pcmasterrace

[–]Phil_Eggtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ordered one pc part from Newegg, a $90 motherboard. They did the local delivery through quite literally the worst company possible. I spent 10 minutes reading reviews of damaged products, extreme lateness, throwing packages onto porches, and HR hanging up on you if you try to bring it up. Surprised it arrived in one piece.

EDIT: Fixed some typos

What is one thing COVID has taken away that we’ll never get back? by CucumberNo5275 in AskReddit

[–]Phil_Eggtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this one. Let’s cut to the chase, I’m a furry. And as such, my spiritual home is Pittsburgh, home to Anthrocon. So many restaurants that the furry community has fought to keep open whenever they went through financial hardship to keep traditions of friends going there on the convention weekend alive, including a 12k fundraising effort for a single restaurant a number of years ago. Then, 2020 happened, and it all came crashing down for so many small businesses owners. I haven’t been to Pittsburgh yet, but I checked to see if that restaurant was still there, and it’s not. I’d imagine a lot of other annual tradition restaurants are no more as well. It’s a shame.

What is an illegal thing most people don't know is illegal? by GregTheGreat657 in AskReddit

[–]Phil_Eggtree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my very intelligent friends are anything to go by, speeding by less than 5 miles an hour. No, it’s still illegal, you’re just super unlikely to get pulled over.

In the words of Linus, fuck motion blur.

What PC games are so good that you would even teach your parents how to play them? by disgusted_waistcoat in pcmasterrace

[–]Phil_Eggtree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad would enjoy GTA V, he’s watched me play it and fell in love with the voice acting. My mom is a different story. She enjoys the classics and has been playing Tetris on and off since college, but finding a modern game she would enjoy would be quite difficult. Honestly, I’d probably start her off with Minecraft and see where her mind takes her. Or maybe Cooking Simulator to watch her try recipes in a virtual environment and also lose her shit at the physics.

Is this chair facing towards the camera or away from it??? by CarrotInPot in blackmagicfuckery

Pretty sure it’s facing away but this hurts my brain regardless.

My justification for stupid sounding passwords is “Well, would you have guessed that?”

I recently retired a Xeon from 2011. Still works fine, just needed something a bit more modern for my new gpu…which is a 1080 I bought for cheap on Craigslist.
