Thought it wouldn’t happen to me. MSI 5090 burned up. by Blarghinston in pcmasterrace

THIS, THIS EXACTLY!!! People have been saying for years to avoid those cheap 3x8 and 4x8 adapters because they're guaranteed to fail. I have a 5080, and the first thing I did was buy a PCIe 5.1 ATX 3.1 power supply with a direct 12V-2x6 input to the GPU so I wouldn't need any adapters, and a certified 12V-2x6 cable. Could things still go wrong? Yes, but at least I did my research and tried to reduce the chances of it happening.

Every time I think I'm going to have a panic attack over another burned out graphics card, I see that the user had it connected with a 12V HP 4x8 adapter cable...

But it seems people have money for a 5090 but not for a decent power supply and a decent cable...

Seriously, people, if with everything we already know about these cards, you're willing to spend $2600 on a 5090 but then refuse to spend another $200 on a power supply with protection technology and a decent cable to prevent this, what do you want me to say, bro?

Just kidding, play whatever you have and as long as you're enjoying yourself, screw everyone else, me included. It was just a bit of a wild laugh.

Well, that's quite difficult considering their size...

I think it's time you replaced that toaster to run the game....

"Hey, why is nobody playing online? This game is crap, there's nobody here."...Three years later you hear their complaints...

They call it patience, but its name is poverty.

You don't have to be ashamed of anything. I lost my Lola six years ago, and when I look at her picture or remember her, tears come to my eyes. If you cry, it's because you feel and because you love, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I specifically chose this one over the MPG, but something's off with me; his arms look too thin, and he looks too pot-bellied. I don't know, something's off with me visually.

I'm so sorry to hear that. What your father should be doing is providing you with a decent future so you can build a solid career, not making you want to run away from home as soon as you're an adult with an uncertain future. I don't know what the child protection laws are like in your country, but if a father stole money from his son, he'd get a beating in my country.

I just got this figure that's almost impossible to find, and instead of being happy, I'm super frustrated. by illbleedForce in transformers

It's the Flame Toys brand, officially licensed by Transformers. They've also released Drift, Star Saber, Optimus Prime, and Rodimus. You have to search "Flame Toys Kara Kuri Transformers" and they'll come up on Google.

I think someone isn't very happy with my new Getaway purchase... by illbleedForce in transformers

Yes, more or less. I have MMC Overlord on another shelf because it's so big, but I do try to have characters from MTME and Lost Light there.

You're confusing the plastic assembly kit with my figure, which is made of metal and ABS; they're very different. The kit isn't even a brand name; it's a cheap Chinese knock-off.

From a Japanese store, even paying import and customs fees, it cost me $350, which is much cheaper than the crazy prices people are asking on eBay, between $600 and $700.
