So even if I knew my way around a soldering tool (Console and Arcade hobbyist here) I would assume I'd still be sol?

My mom got me an Acer Aspire 1 A115-31-C23T for Christmas and for a travel buddy it isn't bad. However as a travel buddy, it isn't really powerful enough for my uses. I want to be able to play some basic Local Player games on it (Think Jackbox as a good example but not the only ones on the list.) Getting an external hard drive is for sure on the list, but so is a new CPU which is probably my top priority, and maybe looking into a GPU depending on what I'm feeling after the CPU replacement. RAM is low on the list because 4gb isn't a bad starting point and will probably be just fine for my needs. The only problem is I'm having a hard time finding a list of compatible CPUs. Anyone have any suggestions? Would like at least a 3.5ghz CPU.

Playing emulators on PC feels off to me, it does for some of my friends too, like I can never finish a game on an emulator and just prefer playing it on whatever console it exists on. Also Persona 5 is unlikely to have a PC release. The only Persona game to have even had a PC release was the first one, Revelations: Persona, back in 1996.

I would say yes, as I've also enjoyed all of those games myself. I have a gaming PC that I do most gaming on but also own an xbone and PS4 and I 100% touch my PS4 more often then my xbone. Other games I would suggest based on those games would be Read Dead Redemption 2, Kingdom Hearts full series, and there are much more games I would recommend if you ok with HD remakes. Persona 5 is not on PC, specifically PS3 and PS4.

Ok cool cool, I shall look into those instead, thank you. Ok cool, that would make sense then. Yeah I'll look into getting a switch tester and giving it a try. Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels that way about Cherry. Yeah, thats kind of why it's a "I might" do this. I really would love a very nice looking RGB case, I would love to be able to customize my computer's color at the drop of a hat, but I want it to look nice, and also not sacrifice airflow. A lot of the other RGB cases I've seen just kind of have 3 fans in the front and thats it? Seems a bit boring tbh, which is part of why I went for the one I did, because it looked nice and seemed to have decent airflow, and at least I can upgrade the fans to be RGB if anything.

I'm going to ask why, and what the Benefit is to the Corsair RM650x over the EVGA Supernova G3 750W? I'm ok with going down in wattage, but like did you have a bad experience with the EVGA Supernova series or just find Corsair to be really reliable? I'll take a look at this for sure I mean, that doesn't really answer my question? I get Windows 10 is much more modern and newer, that much is obvious. I guess what I'm looking for most is "What would the point of upgrading right now be?" like for example Windows ME, Vista, and 8 were all poorly executed or downright terrible. It doesn't always make sense to upgrade something because it is newer. Windows 10 seems to have some staying power, however I heard of stories where there isn't a Calculator or some really basic use program isn't already pre-installed like they have been with every other previous incarnation of windows and if they want it then they have to buy it from the store, which seems a little ridiculous as well? I have no issue getting used to a new more modern looking set up, I guess I wanna know what other people found to be the pros and cons of both OS and what they ultimately prefer.

So I'm building a new gaming machine that can also stream me doing game things, and even maybe let me do artsy stuff on it and using my old one that I built in 2012 as more of an Arcade Box for the specialty games I play. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Maxpphire/saved/YYNjyc **Sidenote with the list, I am getting 2 SSDs and the Graphics card from a friend as a discounted rate. I am unsure of the brand or size of the SSDs but was told they are valued at roughly $200 each. Simple Logic Leap to assume they can hold windows and one of them will hold windows for my new build. The SSDs are not included in the list for that reason. The Graphic card is included in the list because I know exactly what card I'm getting from said friend. Friend is trustworthy and gotten parts from him before, that exist in said old machine that I'm basically replacing. (He also helped me build that old machine because it was my first built PC.) Now I'm happy with the list of parts I have here, I might update the case to an Inwin Infinity at some point but I like the case I have picked out for now. (The Case Fans exist to spruce it up a bit, but I really love the color Blue so this case works for now. Any other RGB case I've seen looks ugly as sin.) Things I could use advice on: Windows 10 vs Windows 7- I really enjoy Windows 7, so much so that I honestly do not want to update to Windows 10, but since I'm going to use my old PC for the games that sometimes are really touchy on Windows 10 machines, so I'm not sure I really have an excuse for sticking to Windows 7 except "I'm familiar with it". Why should I go Windows 10 or Stick with 7. I have access to both versions of Windows so really this choice doesn't change anything. Keyboard and Mouse - I never used anything super fancy in the past but I would like to. Controllable RGB for both preferable. I've never had a Mechanical Keyboard before, looking around and being an Arcade button Snob, I was sad to see that literally all the switches are done by Cherry with the exception of one brand of keyboards that uses Omron (Romer-G). Since I've never used a Mechanical Keyboard before in heavy use (I've used a few friends keyboards here and there, but I want to say altogether my use of mechanical keyboards clocks in at under 30 minutes.) I actually don't know if Cherry is better in keyboard than they are with Arcade Switches or if Omron will continue to be the way to go. I would like a Mouse with some programmable buttons. I also really enjoy loud clicky tactile feelings from arcade buttons and would like something similar for the keyboard and mouse if possible but have no idea where to begin with that. Monitors - I eventually want to work my way up to using 3 monitors. I want them all to be the same monitor, and really I do not need 4k. 1080p is literally good enough for my uses. Would like something affordable and yet decent. Was looking at this Monitor in particular but open to suggestions: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-G276HL-Kbix-Frame-Monitor-x/dp/B0742D9CDX/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1543536808&sr=1-5&keywords=computer%2Bmonitor&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A3547807011&th=1 External Speakers - I have a really nice and pricey Sennheiser Headset, but sometimes would enjoy not wearing my headset 24/7 (Would prefer to just wear it for chatting with my friends or music/video projects I have.) what are some good sound quality but decent price computer speakers that you all would suggest?

Alternatively, you could just tape the wires to the battery via Electrical tape.

Another Model Kit.

It generally is pretty obvious. It should be a flat rectangle. If it isn't flat in the middle or any of the corners, thats a bad thing.

Check the battery, it isn't swollen is it?

(It's not an actually arcade machine, it is a 1:12 scale model)

Honestly what I would do is consult an ophthalmologist on whats good for your specific eyes and take their advice. I do use a Blue Light Filter on my phone which auto turns on around the time I fall asleep. It doesn't seem to help much on whether or not I actually fall asleep around that time. I tend to play Pictrogram like games on my phone to turn off my mind and relax. Sometimes I fall asleep around 3:30am like I'm supposed to, or sometimes (like as of late) I'll end up staying up until past 8am and be dead when I wake up.

If you can't find a goo Repro controller your best bet would be to make your own. This might be a good place to start: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:918504

Not only is Reddit a not great place for a lot of things, but like most communities, the furry community does have it's toxic side. Whats unfortunate is that Toxic side of the furry community gets showcased on the news from time to time, thus leading to a lot more hate then what is necessary. Not a furry but I have a bunch of furry friends. Not all of them find this sexual, but some find it as a fun way to dress up and meet new people, much like cosplaying is in the Anime/Comic/whatever else community is. At the end of the day, if you're not hurting anything and everything is consented to, who the fuck cares? Just enjoy yourself and don't give a fuck what others think.
