A guess a little introduction

SlicesOfPi · June 1, 2017

Alright, so I have recently been banned from the PCMR, for.. reasons they wont tell me.. Go figure. Anyways, I guessed I needed a new place to discuss tech and stuff because.. that's what I love wasting my time on. Where is a better place than LTT! So, I am just going to overview some things.

I am 13, though I have built my own rig so.. don't be that person. Please, I see the bias that anyone under like 16 can't be smart enough to be an active master race member, and all they do is edgily play on their alienware shit-top. That isn't me. Maybe a few people I know (NOT friends), but that is not me. I don't really value gimmicks perse, and I have always been the one to opt out of them (and typically get annoyed when people opt in). This applies to all sorts of things from fidget spinners to alienware. (Although when I was little I didn't know any better and thought alienware was good). I am usually not the type of person to go over intros of myself and I am in introvert (in real life at the least). Also, instead of just being peddy and creating more reddit accounts, or such I am just moving onto here, as I feel I can relate more with people. Also, yalls seem to do a lot more benchmarks, stuff I'd love to do and need to get around to. Here are the specs to my rig:

i5 7600k (I wish I waited for Ryzen r5) + CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo (A gift from my brother)
Asus H270 Mobo (Although I should have got the z270. I wish to get it soon(ish) for OC).
S340 Case
500W EVGA PSU (I added this, as I am planning to get a fully modular EVGA 650W. Also, they're the most important part of the rig in some aspects.. And quite fogotten for that.)
RX460 (Although, as much as love AMD I ordered a GTX1060 yesterday. For what I need and my budget its gonna be great. AMD drivers are worse than Nvdia for Linux which is why I opted. But I do love that AMDs are open source.)

As I said, I typically don't to introductions and the only reason I opted to was because.. you guys just seem great. But I can't really say that yet can I.. (I really do think and hope that I will be able to).

I usually end up playing CS:GO or Minecraft (Please, don't judge me) as my budget isn't friendly to a lot of titles, I don't really care too much about the games but more the hardware, and my internet is megabit, and not friendly to downloading large games. I wish where I lived there were more internet options (satellite internet has a HORRIFIC ping.) Oh well.. I might sometime get a few and download at a library. I do have GTAV, and a few others but I need to reinstall windows as of right now for that. I usually end up on discord, TS and Skype as I love to chat as much of an introvert I am, and the fact for 13 I am lucky (depends on your view) that I am commonly confused for a highschool soft more or such on the internet. In real life, I mean it doesn't matter as much to be honest, but I am more identifiable.. But still reasonably close to there.

Oh, and did I mention I use Arch Linux? I rest my case. (Well ish. I use "Antergos" which is a derivative of Arch with everything already done. It isn't super stable perse, but it has worked better than Debian for me.) So, I am not really long bearded but eh.

PCMR is a cancerous meme of a subreddit.

It isn't really that bad. It is great to share your hardware and such but.. Eh. It doesn't really provide a lot of support, as most "Tech support" on it is usually not resolved. Given, it is best go to something such as /r/buildapc.
