If anyone reads this. Share it. Because it was the weirdest thing to watch. Linus, Or anyone else if you read this, I am So sorry. It was just too f*cking hilarious to not share.

 

My simple graphics card (gtx 650) died a while ago. I was able to find a similar replacement for not too much cash. Yes, this does concern the dream. And I've been helping my friends upgrade their PC's to serious gaming machines. Its kind of fun. Even though im too broke to even buy a new 650 hahaha.

 

Alright the dream goes like this...

In the dream im walking around at night, fiddling with a stick and being generally awesome (like always). I saw this odd, white sign sticking out of the ground and was curious who buries their plant with the sticker still attached. So i walk up to this small rectangular box thinking its just some seeds in the ground but this little tab sticking out said R9Nano 4Gb blahblah. I was shocked. I looked around and wondered who the hell would burry such an expencive video card. It can't possibly be a real card I thought to myself. So I dug into the ground until i found a white box, with blue labeling. The box's label matched the tag. Then I opened the box to find a freaking R9 Nano inside. It was really buried. Why the f*ck was it buried?

 Considering my recent loss of graphics card and my lust for super-tastic visuals, I considered taking the card altogether. Besides, whoever decided to bury the card didn't deserve it anyway. Such horrid treatment of such a beautiful device. But at this point in the dream something caught my eye... Another white tag, sticking out of the ground. No... This tag had R9 385x! The next tag had R9 390 8Gb. I walked around for about 5 minutes checking tag after tag. GTX Titan. GTX 980ti. And they were everywhere. I was shocked. It was like they were trying to grow graphics cards straight out of the ground. I decided whoever planted these graphics card seeds was a bit too weird to piss off by stealing from them. So I started walking home.

  After hearing something bump behind me a ways I look back to see Linus and two of his goons following me with mean faces. They thought I had stolen one of their cards! I had already started running because three guys following you at night is enough to freak anyone out. I stopped after they catch up to me "I didn't take anything I promise." Linus didn't care. He was mad. While his goons rummaged through my empty backpack Linus went full RageQuit on my ass. Slapping, yelling like a little girl, pulling me around until he fell over and yelled at Luke to come help him. Luke pulled me off and sighed. "He doesn't have any of our cards Linus." (I don't know who the second goon was) Linus, still tilted, started talking loudly about upping security of his stuff. Someone shouldn't be able to come and take his cards out of the ground without getting electricuted with 100,000 volts.

  They let me walk home, marked my address down to make sure I didn't try to steal their shit again and walked away.

 

To Linus Tech Tips, Linus and friends... Just... Thank you. I've never had such a weird ass dream that made me laugh so hard. :)
