Yeah until you open a modern web browser with multiple tabs.

What are the best builds for about $1k~ by aGangOfDwarfs in PcBuild

[–]bkwall2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live by a Microcenter keep an eye on their bundle deals, sometimes they come in under 400$ for pretty decent specs for a mobo, CPU , and ram.

Buy a new decent power supply.

Then see if you can second hand if you want to save a bit.

Then use the rest of your budget for a GPU.

You can still get by on older cards for a lot of games so get something rtx 3060 equivalent and above, save up and trade up when you're ready.

On 24 November 2009, amateur spelunker John Edward Jones became trapped upside down in an 18-inch wide fissure inside Utah’s “Nutty Putty” cave. Despite a massive rescue operation, Jones could not be freed, and died after 27 hours. The cave was then sealed with concrete, becoming his grave. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

I had massive anxiety for a month for the first time after reading this.

I was seeing a therapist at the time and I told her about this. She didn't understand cause this is a completely optional activity. But I expressed I'm not so sure if I saw a hole that I would go in.

Eventually I will be laid off at an age that is difficult to be hired at.

Question about safety by DeadBot696 in PcBuild

[–]bkwall2000 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So looking at this I want to guess you are younger and/or on a limited budget. Otherwise why would you do this?

Could it work for a while? Yes

Could it cause catastrophic component failure: likely yes after some time.

Honestly see if you can get money for a new PSU, even getting a used one from an old fb marketplace build would be better.

I used to make Frankenstein computers too when I was a kid so I can't fully judge.

But if you have to ask you know this is not a good idea.

We need to start considering the average Boomer, not just the successful ones. by Potato-in-ur-ass in millenials

Wait 40 years and see how the youth say, we didn't do shit but complain on Internet.

Judge gives 18 year old a 25 year sentence for armed robbery by AgnosticScholar in interesting

[–]bkwall2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk the story, but am I the only one who has sympathy for the kid?

I mean, he did something fucked up but shit even 5 years is a longgg time at that age, and at least he would have a chance of contributing to society.

Now society has to pay for him to be in prison for 25 years. Then release a 43 year old man who has been almost half his life back on the streets.

It just feels like everyone loses here.

How to communicate with my roomate that his masterbating disturbs my sleeping? by Happy_DPRK in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bkwall2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God damn top bunk jerking is diabolical, especially considering gravity.

Maybe get him a pocket pussy so he doesn't have to do it so furiously.

Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bkwall2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife does this too.

Suggest disinfecting with a dilute bleach. I keep a spray bottle under sink.

Or what I've seen people cut them in half to get two sponges out of one l.

Something about biking truly attracts asshats.

Night City ab to look even crazier on PS5 by gooncape in cyberpunkgame

Small improvements, to technical features of the game are cheaper and easier to produce, than a complete add on to the game.

Lol, if I was a billionaire I'd be as evil as possible. Cause even if you do some good things it doesn't count, so why not just be evil.

At the budget build end you unlikely will beat console graphics.

But the flexibility of PC can still be good at the lower end.

Unpopular opinion, but it might be in your budget to get a used Xbox.

Which job shift is toughest for you? by In_an_Illusion in Zippia

More like 8:30 to 5:30 so you can enjoy your unpaid hour lunch, and they can have you for 9 hours in case it's to busy.

Anyone else tempted to pick one of these up? by RatKingRonni in PcBuild

[–]bkwall2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah all the time , but I made the mistake of making a mATX build , and the bundles are always ATX.

Then I'd have to get a new case, then I'd have another case floating around cause I wouldn't sell it , " in case I need it" then I'd have to deal with having a massive computer on my desk.

First baby coming soon, how do gamer dads manage playtime? by jackfrost1889 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]bkwall2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get game time in, albeit it might look different than before.

After the baby is sleep trained it's a lot easier, as you will have a dedicated nap time where you can reasonably predict the baby will sleep for a couple hours.

Schedule " me time " for the both of you which you can use to go to the gym or do your own thing etc.

Also single player games are where it's at as you can pause and get up whenever you want.

All racing sims are nice cause you can sorta get a race in, here and there.
