I was having a skype chat with my friend yesterday and he asked me how much ram my setup had, I just told him I had 16gb and that it was fine, and he said "aha, I have yet to find someone with more ram than me" So I proceeded to ask him and he said he had 64gb on his laptop, he said he and his dad built his laptop, and he said that his dad "works for this kinda shit, trust me".
I then asked him to list his specs, to which he hastily started blurting out "uh, killer e2200, uhhhh sound blaster, uhhhhh GTX 850, 1tb ssd with a 1tb hdd and some cooler boost button", I assumed that he used an msi barebones laptop case to which he nervously replied "yea".
So I asked him what cpu he had, to which he replied after a few seconds, "uhhh 17 (seventeen, seven fucking teen), no wait, i7", he then laughed it off (I presume he was just reading the stuff off the stickers on his laptop). He also stated that "I soldered shit together when i built the laptop with my dad". After I asked him to send a screenshot of his specs on cpu-z and gpu-z etc, he said "ey man don't distract me, im watchin ze youtubes, ill do it later". I haven't gotten a response after an entire day.
The smell of bullshit was so strong, I could feel it in my lungs. Seriously though, who pairs a 1tb ssd with a gtx 850 and 64 fucking gigabytes of ram (do laptop ram sticks even go up to that capacity without costing like $1000)? He said he doesn't do any content creation, only steam games, so this made no sense whatsoever.
I don't mind educating people who genuinely want to know more about computers, but self entitled assholes who believe that they know everything and have wads of cash to spend on the most unnecessary shit are the real scum of the earth.
I'm sure no one will see this at almost 800 pages, but if you're on a marathon streak like I am, I congratulate you for getting this far
