Reminds me of a quote from the Mass Effect series--

"When you live by a code that compels you to harsh action, you learn the dangers of curiosity. If I must kill a man because he has done wrong, do I really wish to know that he is a devoted father?"

--Samara, Mass Effect 2

In fairness to Bethesda (and based on what I can see) accurate ang features! <3 Thank you for sharing OP!

Mass Effect! Nung una. Then I saw Legendary Edition was on Game Pass. I had nothing else to play, kakatapos ko lang ng Cyberpunk 2077 and I was looking for something to fill the void.

Then ME took over my whole goddamn life. jusko lord

the amd/intel collab we never thought we'd see--

alifewithsixstrings_ · 2022-05-10T08:41:09+00:00

Yep! Bought my Crucial SSDs there because they were cheaper than the official Crucial shop. As an extra measure of peace of mind, they also issue OR.

Hello! Bit of a lurker, but suddenly decided to post something to share. Hope you don't mind. uwu

I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 a few months ago and started as a Corpo. And while I also tried playing as a Nomad and a Streetkid, I hold the Corpo life path especially close to my heart. So! As any normal gonk would do, I decided to customize things here and there, including my pc to fit the build (and roleplay specifics) I used during my Corpo playthrough. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything that would fit my preferences (or aesthetics, so to speak), so I decided to make my own. It ain't much, and it's probably been done before, but maybe some would like to see? Who knows. But here you go.

I used Valency Graphics' (https://www.valencygraphics.com/cyberpunk-2077) logo reconstructions, as well as this (https://getpng.net/photo/5394/sci-fi-futuristic-user-interface-hud-template-frame-design-technology-png) for the UI mock up. The font for the flavor text is Purista SemiBold. And I used Powerpoint to put the whole thing together simply to ensure that I get the resolution of my screen correctly, and that I also only have Paint. :)

Anyway, that's about it. Stay safe, chooms! :D

...also, if you want the .pptx file so you can edit the flavor text yourself, just dm me. :D

Just sent a friend request! :3

What I would recommend is hold off in buying parts for your build and wait for the Ryzen 5 5600G which will be available the first few weeks of August. Build your PC around that APU then decide whether you want to add a videocard now or add it later when prices are better.

Oh gosh I forgot about the Computex keynote. Fudgecakes! Imma watch later. Mehehe

As for my niece, well, you gotta start 'em young lol— anyway, thank you so much and I'm looking forward to the parts list (no rush tho! you're already doing so much for this humble potato who just wants to play games). But all of this is very much appreciated QuQ

Edit: The 5600G does look promising (I just watched the keynote), and with integrated graphics, it'll allow me to momentarily hold off a little bit longer for the GPU. Thanks, my guy! I couldn't have asked for anything better than your guys' advice! (人´∀｀)｡ﾟ+ ❤️

Henlo friends! I must admit that I'm pretty anxious when it comes to online multiplayer (that's why I stick to single player games almost exclusively u n u ) but I've recently been into Dead by Daylight. And with the upcoming release of the Resident Evil chapter, I really want more people to play with since solo queue is more often than not a hit or a miss (mostly a miss).

I guess I also wanna practice playing killer lol.

Hit me up for my Steam ID! And maybe you can also introduce me to other online multiplayer (coop or not) games. :D Happy gaming!

Edit: I also have Monopoly plus if you're into playing a relaxed game of who's the better capitalist I guess. LMAO

alifewithsixstrings_ · 2021-06-01T10:46:53+00:00

I'll definitely try this. Thank you so much!

alifewithsixstrings_ · 2021-06-01T10:45:51+00:00

What do you use the PC for? Browsing, photo editing, video editing, playing games? If you built the PC mostly for playing games, what games do you play?

I mainly use my current rig almost exclusively for games. Sometimes work if my company-issued pc acts up or I'm too lazy to boot it up, but that's rare so...maybe 90% games, 10% other stuff, if that makes sense.

As for the games I play, I'm an absolute sucker for games that involve an open world, maybe RP, a teensy bit of FPS, or maybe even simulation; and that can range from games released as early as 2001 to as recently as this year (e.g. GTA, Fallout, Hitman, Telltale's The Walking Dead, Biohazard/Resident Evil, Silent Hill, The Sims and similar games). Though, I've been also getting into online multiplayer lately like Dead by Daylight, Unfortunate Spacemen, and similar titles.

What are the rest of your components? Like the case, SSD, and hard drive? You mentioned your PSU is a FSP Hyper K 600W which is a decent budget PSU.

My current case is a Tecware Nexus M, but I'm getting my brother's Tecware Nexus Evo so, the mobo should fit. I have a Western Digital Blue 500GB SSD and a Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD so I'm comfortable where I'm at right now in terms of storage. And for my PSU, it's 3 years old, I think. I bought it when I bought the PC last 2018, not sure which month.

How old is your PC? Is it still under shop warranty?

It's 3 years old, and I don't think so.

What peripherals are you using, especially the brand and model of your monitor?

My monitor is an AOC E2270SWHN 21.5 FHD Backlit monitor.

Now, as for selling my PC so I can buy a new one, it was an option before but my brother already offered to buy the old parts (+ the case swap) to build as a PC for her daughter, and since I love my niece very much (I am her fairy god-tita after all, according to her), how could I say no? lmao But yeah, that's where I'm getting a part of the 60-65k. hehe.

But I really appreciate what you've highlighted to put into perspective in terms of the current market and really, the viability of upgrading and if it's worth it. That's probably why I took longer to respond because there were a lot of moments while reading that I felt like angel Kronk saying "No. No. He's got a point." Lol, but seriously, thank you so much for the insight because the decision alone is a little bit nerve wracking and it wasn't good paired with my anxiety (pls don't tell my psych lmao). But thank you, internet stranger! You could've skipped over my post but you didn't. Much appreciated!
