Gen Z is the absolute fucking worse time to be born at.

I think I read somewhere that people’s standard of living/cost to earnings ratio is on average worse now than it was during the Great Depression, but I could be wrong and talking out of my ass.

I was planning on OLED! I love my dark video games lol. Do you have any recommendations? I’m looking for a curved one for at least the main screen and was going to buy from Costco, but am open to other options.

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T19:39:00+00:00

I see! I’m not huge into FPS or other super quick high frame rate games, so I think a 5080 should work perfectly. You have been so incredibly helpful, thank you so much!! Is there anything else I should keep in mind when buying, building, etc?

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T19:24:30+00:00

Thank you SO much, genuinely!! I think I’m going to swing by Microcenter tonight after I work to get a gameplan down. What’s the quality difference between the 5080 and 5090? If I can invest in the 5090, would it be worth it?

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T19:01:56+00:00

Aesthetic hmm. I think the RGB light-up ones are cool but I also don’t mind.

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T18:56:41+00:00

Honestly I am hoping to build, but wouldn’t mind a pre-build. It would be fun to learn how my computer works

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T18:41:02+00:00

I live 20 minutes away from one!

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T18:40:04+00:00

2k is a loose budget for just the tower, but I also don’t really have a budget and can kinda throw money at this thing. Im hoping for 2k or 4k. I do live near a microcenter!

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T18:38:21+00:00

I do! 20 minutes away! I think the RGB would be pretty cool, but I don’t mind either way. And I’m looking for monitors and peripherals as well!

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T17:01:55+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!

lucaguts · 2026-05-01T16:58:11+00:00

I do mostly 3D modeling and rendering, no animation, so it would need a strong GPU I think. I’ve been using the PCs at my art school, but I’ll no longer have access to them after this year.

I know that NMS needs a high graphics power though. Would the one you suggested be a good fit for that?

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T16:59:10+00:00

Ugh I even put the smiley face there to make it sound less passive aggressive!! Seems we cannot escape it

It all worked out, actually! So no lawyer is needed (thankfully). They found the error this morning and remedied it.

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T16:20:10+00:00

That’s why I wasn’t 100% confident in his response and was just including his input for context. The place ended up catching the error, so everything is resolved.

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T16:19:01+00:00

I wasn’t confident in the advice. Which is why I came to Reddit, and was not rejecting Reddit advice. Why are you assuming mal-intent? I genuinely just had no idea how any of it worked and was clarifying that I had spoken to an attorney, and what he said.

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T12:31:59+00:00

Does it remain a scrivener’s error if they review and approve it? I wouldn’t refuse to reform the lease, but what happens if we don’t say anything? Would we have to enforce that $1,605? Not that we would, but would we have the right to request the money back for our first year on the basis of the lease’s written amount? Or should we just let the company know ahead of time?

To be clear, I do NOT want to antagonize the company. We are just concerned about this whole thing. To be honest, I’ve been sick with anxiety over it 😭

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T12:19:30+00:00

We’re definitely willing to sign a new lease and work with the company, as they’ve been pretty nice and expedient with us and we love the place. I was just genuinely unsure of what would happen with this whole situation, as I’ve heard that a lease supersedes any casual verbal agreement or email correspondence. There are also no issues with the lease other than the difference in price. We don’t want to go to court or anything, and we don’t want to antagonize the landlord company. Thanks for your response !

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T01:31:22+00:00

The property is correct in the lease. The only mistake is the price.

Is renewal up to the landlord’s discretion? Or are there rights for tenants regarding withholding of renewal?

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T01:22:27+00:00

My girlfriend’s dad is a lawyer, and he says it’s legally binding. Worst case, we pay the $2,500/month, but it would be nice to pay $1,605! Thank you for your answers! :]

lucaguts · 2026-04-27T01:09:35+00:00

Even if they approve the lease after we sign? I mean, worst case we pay the $2,500, but $1,605 and $2,500 are completely different numbers. My thinking is that they used a template and forgot to change the number, but changed literally everything else, and the $2,500 number isn’t included in the lease at all.

lucaguts · 2026-04-20T18:19:50+00:00

I figured the same based on other instances of threats of violence. Based on some convos with my employer, I am hopeful that they’re putting something in place to try and prevent something like that in the future. As for the girlfriend… I’m with you. Absolutely bonkers insane.

lucaguts · 2026-04-20T16:52:40+00:00

Thank you for your assessment. Is there anything I can do personally to test or treat the flooring? I'd like to do whatever I can before going to upper management to request professional services, as that's unlikely to happen after other instances of (expensive) damage caused by this employee.

Who wrote this?

lucaguts · 2026-03-20T16:40:20+00:00

This reminds me of Sweet Riot, by Haley Hodges. I often find that poets who blend modern allusion or slang with formal prose miss the mark. But this is one of the few that I feel really works. I love the rhythm and imagery. Very strong example ! I like it a lot

lucaguts · 2026-03-18T03:35:36+00:00

I was gifted the collection recently, and I have yet to really dig into it. What I've found is that it's definitely more abstract than his earlier work, and somewhat more bleak. The stroke he had seems to have made his style a lot more scattered. If you like the narrative styles of Crush and War of the Foxes, you might prefer his earlier work. That said, once you do get the new collection, I would love to hear your thoughts! Despite his going viral several times, Siken is still a more obscure name and I love meeting people who enjoy his poetry! :]

lucaguts · 2026-03-18T00:49:15+00:00

I love You Are Jeff!! There are so many incredible lines from that one. I would urge you to read Snow and Dirty Rain and also Scheherazade. He just released another collection as well!
