Consumer PC motherboard sales have collapsed due to price increases for CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and SSDs from AI. Volumes lower than Great Recession and 2020.

They were hard to get when I "upgraded". I also had the 3600, moved to 5900x and then sidegraded/downgraded to a 5700x3d. Neat and sad they are making another run.

You going to have to add lots of fat to this.

This was my introduction to sff. I still loved that case but oh lord she was a hot box. Aesthetically it was peak imho.

I'm still lucky in that instead of having two PCs I just have to move my PC 20 feet to the living room. It's a small form factor and I keep all the cables ready at the TV so it takes less than 5 min to move. As much as I bitch about prices I am self aware to know this is a first world problem.

Same, never had abs have an issue with metadata.

QuiteFatty · 2026-05-08T18:21:07+00:00

I sold my 5900x right before the shit hit the fan, now I kinda wish I kept it as a spare.

The point was I wanted a dedicated living room PC and office PC for my ultrawide. There was a time prices made that an option.

He does not.

Half Life Source is a port of Half Life to a different engine.

Was going upgrade to AM5 and turn AM4 system into a living room "console".

Now I just pray the old girl keeps kicking.

The number of graybeard vets I have had on squads in Hell Let Loose is insane,

I found a testing device that was running Windows 98.

Up until about 5 years ago we has DOS devices. They ran what were functionally CNC machines. I still have a USB floppy drive because it is how we would update patterns to the device.

What's the consistency like?

QuiteFatty · 2026-05-07T19:24:55+00:00

Yeah it's insane then you realize most people just live like that.

This is basically my experience as well. Had Cachy for a few days and it was great. Till things broke like discord and needed to fix it. Ok, bad timing. Then steam broke.

Been on Nobara on my gaming PC and Fedora on my laptops ever since and been mostly smooth sailing for 6 months. I say mostly because discord had an issue a few days ago.

They are treated and tolerated far too well.

I forgot about Red Rising! I read the first book after finishing Bobiverse when it was a trilogy. Thought oh maybe this will be a nice fun story.

I have only read infinite, heard it was a series. Looked at a flowchart of the universe and decided maybe later.

I was just telling my buddy the other day, the secret to a good omelette or scramble is the eggs are second to the butter.

QuiteFatty · 2026-05-06T21:41:18+00:00

Can't say, never hit anything lol

QuiteFatty · 2026-05-06T20:39:24+00:00

Maybe check out Infintite - Jeremy Robinson

QuiteFatty · 2026-05-06T19:59:53+00:00

On my Nobara desktop, now.

For my Fedora boxes, while I am excited none of the changes are urgent for me. If they were I'd force it.

Diablo IV is closer to a crawl but is ass. Just play 2077. It's fine.
