  1. Imagine a 360 video looking at the view of all 3 projectors as they game. Would be sick
  2. pretty excited for this vultures album to drop ngl.
  3. I got a new gpu (and pretty much upgraded the rest of my pc in the process) and i'm so excited!! I had to show it off! sorry for the mess on/around my desk, i tried to clean up as best as i could but it's obv not perfect. SPECS: CPU: Ryzen 5800x3d Cooler: Jonsbo CR-3000 GPU: Asus TUF 7800xt Mobo: Asus x570-E RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB Storage: 5TB in SSDs + 14TB HDD PSU: Corsair RM850x Case: Fractal Design Pop Air Keyboard: EVGA z20 Mouse: Logitech G602 (thinking of upgrading) Speakers: Logitech Z560 Monitors: MSI MAG27CQ + Dell P2319H (Also i got this thing loaded with a blu-ray drive and a flash card reader! ) Please tell me what you guys think abt it!!
  4. I had to order it again so it would get here sooner (at least according to what amazon says). It says it should be here by next week, although it hasn't shipped yet. I've been refreshing the page like all week, i'm so excited.
  5. now im conflicted! I just bought a 7800xt, and this looks like a decent option, at least better than the previous 4070. At least i still have time to return it once i get it if theres good 4070 super deals. That would be the first time i went team green in a long time tho
  6. What do you plan on using it for? I kinda wanna guess motorcycle stuff Amazon says it'll come in feb whats weird tho is if i ordered it today, i would prob get it sooner. although im just glad to have one.
  7. finally caved and bit the bullet. It's gonna get here pretty late but i'm tired of waiting around. i'm excited. I'm gonna get 2x the vram i have now.
  8. HOW DOES HE KNOW YOU NEED A FLARED BASE!! PAUSE!!1
  9. my Apple Music discovery station actually showed me some bangers
  10. Whoever got the zoro mouse pad is a real one fr. They could've done some generic woman one, but they did zoro and i love it. Tbh, it's something i would think of buying, but i already have enough mouse pads. Ye i just love seeing it, something that isn't "oh! woman" and is instead "oh! man" anyways, im homosegual. But love the zoro mousepad Good videoe
  11. Testing different budget store brand [usb-c] cables (Walmart, best buy, target, five below, etc) to see the best value
  12. I'm probably gonna sound like a glazer, but i saw this title and I wanted to reply to it. In the most respectful way, why do you care? He's a dad, and a seemingly decent one at that. Yeah, he may be "spoiling" them, but it's not your issue. You don't know them, none of this really effects you. Let the man parent his kids, he seems to be doing just fine with it. I mean, he started a succsesful company, and has a bunch of "free" computer parts laying around, ofc he's gonna want to spend some of that money/use some of those parts for his family. It doesn't really matter. Plus, it can make for decent content. Like when he did those builds w his kids or whatever. I mean you could say at that point he is just using his kids for content, which ig could be a more valid concern, but it's just not like that u feel? He's not like a family vlogger where he shoves the camera in their face u feel. I don't mean to be an asshole and like talk down to you, but it's like why do you care how some dude online is parenting his own kids, unless he's like abusing them but like, no. I don't know just my thoughts.
  13. Ok so update ig. I talked to my parents about it, my dad wants me to put it on a payment plan, and then ill give him the money for it. In that case, i'm probably gonna get a regular pro 512. Although, i'm kinda having second thoughts about being locked into a payment plan and not being able to upgrade for 3 years. Although it's not like i haven't done it before. I don't know, still kinda on the edge. The reason i'm saying the warrenty isn't a big deal is because the main damage i'm worried about is the screen breaking. The warranty won't cover that completely, but it'll make it alot cheaper to replace it. Plus those other damages. Yeah, but i still have a cracked screen. So i would need to get that replaced before i can really get any value from it. So, since i didn't have apple care, it would be around $280 at apple, and around the same price at other places when i checked (a long time ago). So i would spend almost $300 to sell it on ebay for $600, or trade in for $830-1000 which would be better, but at that point i would save only like $550-720, plus the small upcharge (abt $100-200) for the new one. If i had the apple care, it would only be $30, which is a lot more reasonable than $280. u feel me? Well, if it is on a payment plan, then i would have to keep it for 3 years. the apple care would last 2 years iirc. It is one year of no coverage, but that's better than none, at least to me. But if i pay it out right, i could be able to upgrade next year if i really wanted to, and then i would have an extra year i didnt even use. Yeah, again, i would have to pay extra for a warrenty in that case. I just don't think it would be a good decision for me. If my parents didnt have this total tech subscription, i would probably do that, but they do soooo. Nah, i kinda need a new phone blud. My older one broke like 3 months ago, and ever since then, i planned on getting a new one. So i kinda have to get one. Although, i would lie if it wasn't all because its the new phone. But i agree w that statement generally, i just really need one. I'm saying when i get the 15 thru best buy, i'll get applecare included. So if/when i break my screen again or something like that, it will be a lot cheaper to get it fixed at Apple (thanks for the shady repair stuff apple :)) for no real added cost. But if i were to get the used 14 pro on amazon, i'll have to buy the applecare separately (at about $140) if i wanted that protection. I'd much rather be safe than sorry, since my last 2 phones have cracked
