Just wanna know what everyone thinks their best decision has been since they have been on pc. Mine i personally think is downloading steam. I have met so many people and I have gotten so many games for cheap that it has really allowed me to have so much more fun gaming because when i was on console it was so expensive that i could only buy 4-5 games a year, but now thats a thing of the past long live STEAM SALES. If not that then watching watching tech reviewers like linus, newegg, logan, and elric to learn what i can do to make my pc better because without them i wouldnt have spent way to much money on my processor and not enough on my graphics card and not be able to play all the games that i do.

its GE (pause) TechNicks

I know I'm going to get some hate for this, but I've always used (and still am!) Dell computers. When I wanted to do some upgrades to them I slowly started getting more and more interesting in this business. Which consequently led me to Linus and all the other tech folks on the internet.

steam was the worst thing that ever happened to gaming when it started. the shit didn't work most of the time, friends list although there didn't work and still to this day a lot of it doesn't work when you try to use it. been using it 10 years now and I'm willing to accept it lol it did how ever take me until 2011 to buy anything from them though

Love you Steam overlords.

This is an odd question but I suppose just building this PC. I would have done a lot of things differently if I had the knowledge I have now back then about computers

They've always done so, I've been using Latitude (business grade) laptops for almost 15 years and they're all still working. It's just that the few times their consumer end products were bad (I think the Dimension 4600) they got a lot of negativity for just that.

Who is that?

According to google's image search is Anjelica Sutton. 

 

Did you know that you can search a picture in google?, Not search by the address mind you, but it will show you all the pictures that look like the one you are searching, regardless of what they are named.

Mystery is the source of all true science.
