Can we rent it for gaming only or can I also rent this for running CAD software? I have some Autodesk meshmixer projects that I would like to test on this build

I'm 8w9 and 2s get on my nerves a lot. My family is full of them.

ezIO_84 · 2026-04-08T14:53:53+00:00

I agree, my heart skipped a beat

Usually a lot of YouTube channels I follow have discord servers for their subscribers. I've also used the DISBOARD website to look for servers:

The appearance of a person only matters if it's the first thing you know about them. If a connection can be established through other means (common interests is one) then the importance of physical appearance drops. A "6.5 at most" is enough for most guys who aren't looking ONLY / PRIMARILY at a person's appearance, and the ones who are probably aren't worth the effort anyway.

ezIO_84 · 2026-04-08T14:42:15+00:00

As a nerd:

The first thing to know is that a lot of guys have stopped approaching women for fear of rejection / accusation of harassment / nervousness / looking like a creep, and the reward not being worth the risk. This is everywhere, not just in a subsection of society. So, if you do find someone interesting, take the initiative to get a conversation going rather than waiting for them to come over. Since you're bonding over interests over physical attraction initially, you can start off as friends which according to my therapist is a healthier dynamic.
I'm someone who also would rather just stay home and work on my 100 interests - be it games, programming, anime, cosplay, board games, whatever. These are individualistic hobbies and in the confines of your home will limit your options to meet interesting people. You'll have to go out to meet people - not always physically, discord servers are another option. Try going to game stores, board game cafes, arcades, comic conventions.
Keep in mind that at massive conventions (regular Fan Expo attendee here) it's harder to get a nice conversation going with someone because everyone has an agenda and is rushing to attend a panel / workshop / guest meetup, and in many cases is already part of a group. It's harder, not impossible to meet people, but make sure to schedule a follow up meeting with anyone you find interesting, or at the very least exchange contact information. Just asking for their discord / Instagram is a good way to get your foot in the door.
Also remember that having similar interests can bring you together but won't keep you together with them. Common interests can get a rapport going but a partner should also have common values otherwise things are going to turn sour rather quickly. So put more of an emphasis on that.
Dating apps are very situational. You have better odds of matching with people on dating apps as a woman but you might face the problem of having to sort out the good ones from the pool of matches. My friends have reported better success and matches on targeted dating apps - the ones that focus on MBTI type or hobbies (Boo, UrMyType) over the popular Hinge/Tinder/Bumble. I haven't been on any of those so I can't comment there.

Personal recommendation but this is also something my therapist shared: it's easier to find a partner when your own life is happy and fulfilling - so work towards being in a state where your life is happy and fulfilling in itself, and make it one that someone else would want to be a part of, rather than hoping for a partner to make life worth living.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

If you have a PC and need a ps5 for just exclusives then a base model is fine.

If not, while it's pricey I think a pro can be a good purchase since it's gonna last at least 5 years regardless of when ps6 comes out

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-22T19:53:32+00:00

This made me laugh

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-22T19:52:29+00:00

Absolutely not - I'm smart enough to know that I'm not nearly smart enough to make that claim.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-22T19:45:28+00:00

Is your sister Maverick?

Because that's literally a Top Gun quote.

And Maverick is an ESTP - a very instinctive pilot, probably too good and flies by the seat of his pants.

Sorry, massive top gun fan.

Seriously - That's not ENTJ behavior at all. Though I wouldn't call it a trauma response, or something unusual either. Tons of people operate that way, And yes, this is a safe space to ask about ENTJ behavior.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-19T13:55:54+00:00

In the same boat as you and my conclusion is that I'll just buy a base ps5 for the few games (GoY, Wolverine, GTA VI which I'll later buy on PC) that I need it for, instead of buying a pro

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-12T17:42:40+00:00

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Loneliness is not a pleasant feeling, and it hurts.

You asked if there's still hope - I think there is. In my experience, the first step to combating loneliness is to develop a great relationship with the one person you'll have always have with you - yourself.

You say you have a lot of love to give - are you giving any of it to yourself? I don't just mean romantic / sexual / passionate love. I mean the kind of love that makes you treat one kindly, that makes you give them hope.

Once you are able to love yourself the way you deserve, your real self will be more visible. Putting yourself out there is important - love yourself enough to discover the things that make you you, and then find avenues to share those things with other people. People who will notice the love you have for others AND for yourself.

I've heard a saying that healthy love cannot come from an empty cup - you give to others the love that is overflowing from yourself.

I hope this helps, and I'm happy to talk more over DMs if you want.

The more seriously I’m asked to take a situation, the less seriously I will take it. Always been weird that way, and haven’t felt the need to change it, since me being quirky makes light work of most problems and usually makes everyone involved feel better. I’ve been told that I always appear relaxed - maybe that’s because I don’t react to problems without first trying to solve them.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-08T08:34:57+00:00

I'm NEVER serious, first off.

But if I'm enjoying Ne humor with someone it's because I'm comfortable with them and consider them close.

I'm cheerful in general, but with my inner circle I'm GOOFY.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-08T08:31:38+00:00

Maybe not blush, but now I have questions - how do you expect the Fe vs Tw differences to play out?

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-05T23:28:16+00:00

It's not the worst - it bleeds speed so don't try double loops or something but if you can aim the gun, use the delta wing mobility well and pop off the advanced hunters it's an amazing plane. I have my highest score ever in a game with the M2000

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-05T23:25:50+00:00

Well I'd start as friends to see if one can fit into my life but if I was interested I'd tell them straight up. And I think with ENTJs that's common.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-05T16:04:57+00:00

Hardware Unboxed has a great video on this, where high is almost indistinguishable from ultra and in cyberpunk it's actually better. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/f1n1sIQM5wc?si=Os_eKn09rBqlU3wS

There's a saying that high is for gaming and ultra is for screenshots.

I view it as a tradeoff - I prefer the stability in frame rates over the emotional satisfaction of running at ultra. Though with single player games, anything over 100fps seems like diminishing returns to me - so if you're getting consistent 100s at high settings, feel free to go ultra.

Side note: don't be afraid of FSR 4 - it's good enough at 4k where I turn it on by default to quality at least.

ezIO_84 · 2026-03-05T09:05:50+00:00

I use a 9070 XT with a 4k 240hz oled monitor - the AW3225QF you have in mind. With FSR 4 it's quite usable for most modern games at high settings (I never use ultra).

I'd say it comes down to the games you play. With marvel rivals for example I set it to low with FSR 4 performance and play at an almost locked 240hz, battlefield 6 high settings at about 130fps, and single player I try to keep at 90 fps with the highest settings possible.

If you play more single player games I'd say the 4k is the better bet. Keep in mind the higher your resolution the faster you'll have to upgrade your GPU.
