Things to do with a gaming PC other than gaming.

[MPX309]

I want to try doing other things with my PC, I use photoshop quite a bit. . . I would record gameplay but don't have a spare HDD to record to atm, so that's out the question. . . Do abit of folding from time to time 

 

Any other suggestions (don't say porn) lol 

[ShadowCaptain]

Well if you have no other uses for your pc... (I really only game, edit photo and video)

 

get another hobby, I enjoy riding my motorbike and doing airsoft on sundays

 

Or learn something new? take up programming or something 

[Manny Calavera]

Modding, mapping, modelling, textures etc...

 

Well you can also sell it and build htpc or something.

 

Or sell it and with earned money buy more components and sell PCs

 

Ot just throw it into a bin. ;P

[PokémonTrainerFour]

Make a mod, do some programming, run a server. Or, my personal favorite, open 150 tabs on Chrome.

[Tech_Dreamer]

you can throw beads at it, go swimming, go on a vacation... etc.. imagine all the fun stuff you can do

 

 

on a serious note , try benchmarking, heavy encoding of movies & play with CPU intensive filters, Mine, convert movie from source bluray to your portable devices (lossless to compressed & use heavy filters as GPU will  make much difference), defrag the whole drive etc..

[Swndlr]

ermm well you could do some graphic work which is always interesting and in my opinion relaxing to do. ermmmm you could watch movies, play around with settings which always ends interestingly, clean it out to make up more space on your hdd, and anything really! computers are the world at your fingertips

Here's an idea...

Are you ready for this?

Go Outside.

[Bagmup]

Oc until it catches fire

What's that thing you call 'Outside'? 

[PokémonTrainerFour]

What's that thing you call 'Outside'? 

 

It's a magical place where "humans" are. Some even want to be near you! Amazing, huh? The Outside is great. The view is gorgeous as well.

 

It is also referred to as the "outernet"

 

 

not implying people don't want to be near you already just sayin there's more humans out there

What are those humans you are talking about... Also the 'outernet'? Silly you it's the internet not the 'outernet'

What's the URL ?

[GrmanRodriguez]

I've heard the graphics on "Outside" are excellent. It's an engine that never gets old.

Actually, the "Outside" engine is over 5 billion years old!

 

 

What's the URL ?

 

Outside? hmmmm . . . I'm not familiar with that server yet 

 

I can't quite remember the server IP, I'll be sure to PM it to you when I do though!

Guess I'm never going outside.

/hate people.

Actually I'm pretty sure it's Christians who believe in the 6000 year thing.

 

Somehow not everyone has figured out the whole "science" thing yet, definitely 5 billion years

[SkilledRebuilds]

There are many things to do with a computer and tutorials on how to do so, enough to get you interested in new ideas you would not have thought to pursue.

 

Same thing goes for non-computer hobbies/interests...

Generic life stuff you'll need later if not already known... Basic vehicle mechanics, house maintenance, fixing random stuff and looking it up, essentially mixing your computer love (researching new things) and applying that to new skillsets learnt from hands on.
