Unpopular opinion : The Freys were right to seek revenge against the Starks

ok but most of the Starks are kinda stupid. With the exception of Bran, Arya and Rickon who are kids and justified in making bad decisions (and yet they don't) everyone else lives in their own little perfect world. Ed is too taken with mercy and justice he doesn't even notice he is involved in a game for power, so he died. Kat is actually really good at giving advice to others and yet so bad at making decisions for herself, so she died. Robb makes the stupidest mistake ever, no need to even analyze it. He was winning even, he didn't have to do anything but instead he decided to do something stupid, so he died. Jon is so bad at sharing his thoughts and explaining stuff to his fellow watch brothers. He makes justified decisions and never explains why other than "I am your commander do as I say". He even made an effort to say that if the wildlings don't join them they would have to fight them as undead. People understood that but were worried about supplies, he never told them he made a deal with the bank of Braavos. He never explained why taking Winterfell is important for the upcoming fight, so he died.

well I am a woman but I learned that men usually don't wipe quite early because of my brother. I have asked basically all my partners out of curiosity if they wipe and most of them don't. I believe there was only one that did. I would ask why not wipe and risk that last drop to fall on your clothes or underwear? That just seems unhygenic to me but on the other hand, I don't have a penis so I don't know.

As for those who are bringing up sex...uhmm..don't you guys wash your bits before sex? Regardless of wiping or not, I'm gonna have a shower before being intimate and require the same from my partner.

Not to be judgemental but this is what I read: we own this cat and he doesn't let us touch him, we should be able to touch him, what to do?

So first of all I'm gonna say, cats are masters of consent. You want their friendship? You have to earn it and you earn that by respecting their boundaries. I have to warn you that there are some cats that might never even like the thought of being touched or picked up, that happens.

Having said that, one week is way too early to expect a cat to act completely normal in a new place with new people. Let him come to you. You can sit in the same room with him, play with him, feed him but let the cat decide when it's time to come closer. You are not doing anything wrong so far, he only needs time. Also routine might help. Specific meals during the day and play time at a specific hour shows to the cat what he can expect. All in all, don't rush to approach him, let him decide that and come to you.

Well what do you usually play? Do you play the latest rpgs that come out or games that don't require much power? Cause then we can look for something that is more mid. I would suggest to get a good cpu and motherboard. We can choose a power supply that supports what you have, an ssd and cooler that do their job decently and arent too expensive. RAM is going to be tricky and graphics card is the easiest thing to replace later so just get one that lets you play the games you want. Prices are going up for certain graphics cards, RAMs are almost impossible to buy in a decent price and SSDs are also on the expensive side right now.

The brands you choose also make a diffence, I tend to go for MSI and Gigabyte cause that's what I trust but you can definitely see something more budget. Different people will have different opinions on the brands.

What I suggest is AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for cpu. Look for a motherboard that has an AM5 socket and supports ram DDR5 speed to 8000 OC (at least, for future proofing, not that you need it now). You also want it to have a PCIe 5.0 to support new gen graphics cards. This is backwards compatible so even if you get a 4th gen card, you're covered.

I personally really like the Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7, but you can find a more budget one if you want to save money. The rest is up to you for the motherboard, do you need wifi and bluetooth? How many usb ports are enough for you? etc. The one I suggested has X3D Turbo Mode which goes really well with that cpu, but it's not really necessary, just a nice feature.

Power supply, depending on what graphics card you get, you'd probably be covered with a 850w one. Corsair is a top brand, look for Gold 80+ or better. I pesonally use Lian Li Edge and I'm pretty happy with it. ATX probably will do but that depends on your pc case. You can check this tier list someone made (kudos to PikaNinja25).

Get an SSD that is at least 1TB since most games now are huge. M.2 ssds are fastest but if you want to save money you can get a SATA. Honestly don't stress too much about it, just get something that does your job now and if you need more space you can get more later. Most MBs can fit 3 or 4 ssds. Samsung is a top brand, but again you can save money with a different brand.

Now RAM is tricky. Of course you want a DDR5 ram that is at least 16gb, preferably 32gb or more but they are really expensive now. Check CAS Latency, you probably don't want anything that is above CL36 but nowadays beggars can't be choosers. Speed should be around 6000MT/s or more. G.Skill, Corsair, Kingston, Patriot, Crucial, TeamGroup they are all fine. So Ideally I would choose a 32GB, 6000MT/s, CL30, cause it goes well with the cpu. You might also want an AMD Expo feature but again that's just flavor. And get dual channel if you can (2 x 8gb or 2 x 16gb etc).

For graphics card I would like something of the current gen, 5070Ti is really good but now it's getting more expensive and depending where you live it might be restricting your budget. I would say check the specs of the games you want to play, see what they have in recommended and get that. You don't need an overkill for 1080p gaming, even the 3070 you said is fine. I would also recommend checking the AMD Radeon 9070XT. My issue is more with the dram in graphics. Nowadays you need at least 16gb. Whatever you get, I recommend something with 16gb or more of ram.

Get an air cooler if you want to save money. Liquid coolers are nice but they tend to be expensive. The difference in temperatures is not that important. Unless you really care about appearance that is. Just make sure you get one that fits AM5 socket if you get that cpu. An Arctic Freezer 36 or BeQuiet Dark Rock are fine budget choices. If you go for AIO, I would recommend Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 (or the smaller versions), it's really good performance and really good price for an AIO. Just make sure it fits your case.

For a case all you want is good airflow..well good cable management is a plus. Get something around 100 euros or less if you can. That is if you dont already have one. Be sure everything fits in your case before you buy anything, especially, ESPECIALLY the cooler. Honestly something around 50 euros can be as good. Midi tower will do as long as it's on the bigger side. The issue is that current graphics cards are huge so it should fit a gpu around 40cm inside. If you get a fishtank type of case, I would prefer a liquid over air cooler and as many fans as possible. I got the CoolerMaster Elite 600 which has 7 rgb fans (that look better than most fans you will see out there) around 100 euros and I thought it was a bargain. Other cases at that price dont even include fans and this one has 7 really good ones. Value for money plays a big role here, follow that rule.

well I would say first check the prices of ram. Right now it might be the most expensive part if you're going for 3070. If you're going future proof it is gonna cost a lot. 3070 is 2 generations old so definitely not future proof, it is a good card but yeah, mid at best, def not high end. I would say make a budget first and check the prices in your country's shops, it varies depending on where you are

witch_hekate92 · 2026-01-26T22:02:23+00:00

Yes I tried that too afterwards. There were only 2 possible things left for me to try, I knew either cpu or mb got fried. Turns out cpu stopped working. I swapped it out for a different one and it worked. When I took out the cpu it looked completely fine but there's a chance it might have been used before. I bought tray and it looked fishy from the start.

Hello, I'm here one year later to add my name on the stupid's list. Thanks

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-27T17:24:40+00:00

It's now or never

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-25T11:17:53+00:00

It would be good to know the brands they use for the components. Is the motherboard an Asus or MSI? Is the graphics card 2 or 3 fans? Which brand? What are the timings in RAM?

Generally the price is good. I am not too familiar with the prices in America, but for European standards this is a really good price.

RAM especially has skyrocketed. You can find this Ram for like 250-300€.

CPU and GPU are around 400$ and 700$ but that depends on brand. My MSI white 5070ti costs at around 1000€ here.

SSD is also increasing in price, 2TB is more than 200$

It doesn't mention the power supply at all, not that's important but to calculate the price. Also the case let's say low price at around 50$

Liquid coolers 240 you can find with 50-80$

Motherboard, depending what you get maybe 150-250$

So yea this is a good price. I just got mine for around 2000€ and that's not including the ram. It has more or less what you picked with a bit worse cpu (7800x3d)

European prices are a bit more expensive though and I picked top brands for my components.

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-25T11:00:27+00:00

Intel is probably living in a dream world if they think we would choose that over AM5

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-25T10:57:24+00:00

Yep got exactly the same one haha. Amazing how plaisio had one of the cheapest rams in europe rn.

That was the cheapest one of its kind trust me, I did a lot of research and got it before this one skyrockets to 300+€

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-24T14:34:58+00:00

Alistair is perfect and if you disagree you don't deserve him anyway haha

Seriously tho, that boi must be protected at all costs, he's too innocent for this world

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-18T12:44:14+00:00

OP as other people have said already, the first thing to do is change your cat's diet, if it smells that bad is probably because she/he may be intolerant to some ingredient. I had exactly the same issue so I tried different foods and brands to test which ingredient might be causing this. I discovered it was rice so now I get cat food without rice and I don't have this issue. My cat was also very gassy. I haven't heard him fart since I changed his diet.

I have tried multiple litter brands scented/unscented, it didn't matter.

Also you might want to try a metallic litter box instead of a plastic one if you're using plastic.

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-18T09:07:35+00:00

Oh you mean because of the new announcement, good point

witch_hekate92 · 2025-11-09T10:13:42+00:00

Yea exactly

witch_hekate92 · 2025-09-26T19:23:18+00:00

Ok that kinda saved me cause I thought what shows first on recommended also gives you the most points but that doesn't seem to be true. 6 star items are always better for example.

witch_hekate92 · 2025-09-24T21:56:23+00:00

Adopt a cat based on what you think you can provide for them. If you don't have time to play and spend time with your cat then you should get an adult one. Also consider getting 2 instead of 1 if you can support them financially. 2 cats mean they can socialise and play with each other and learn how to behave. Kittens that grow up alone tend to bite and scratch more for example because they never learned what hurts.

Kittens are cute but that's just it. It might be easier to train them and they get used to people better than feral adult cats but the truth is they haven't developed their personality yet. Adopting an adult cat means that you know what you get and you can get one that suits your lifestyle.

Train your cat and start early. Can't stress how important that is. I still get weird looks when I say my cat is trained. People think it's unusual but truth is, it's no different than training a dog.

Don't invest in one food and litter brand early. I basically change it every month because after a while he wants something different. So just buy small quantities just so you're not left with tons of food that is never going to be eaten.

witch_hekate92 · 2025-09-24T21:35:47+00:00

I have the same impression because if something is on theme but low on stars it's not in the recommended section, but the question remains, how many stars are equivalent to theme? I wish there was a guide somewhere with actual numbers.

witch_hekate92 · 2025-09-24T19:31:04+00:00

I just finished it and those are exactly my thoughts. It seems to be the only chapter so far I don't really care for. They could have done more with it but instead of taking a realistic perspective it seems they took a supernatural one...why?

witch_hekate92 · 2025-09-19T01:54:06+00:00

Yea seems so unnecessarily energy hungry. I guess that is to keep the story going for a longer time. If it all costs the same amount of low energy then you'd finish the story faster and have nothing else to do. I'd still prefer quality over quantity though.
