Its incredible how many small time computer shops try and do that. They try to sell old parts as new tech at new prices. 

You can buy a nib z87 Mobo from my local shop for the low price of 899.99+ 5% state tax + another 2% local.

 

It's the lowest model gaming mobo msi made for z87...

 

 

"You should get (brand/product) because they're the best."

@RorzNZ You're Welcome.

 

There's more Triggers for Apples than "Gates and Windows"

Hi

 

I found this not triggering.

*later it turns out they hadn't inserted the power plug properly*

They didn't do something, and the computer didn't work. Their statement, while misguided, isn't technically false

Another one: "You can't use dual channel with different brands."

"I'm not a PC person"

Then why the hell do you call me to help with your PC?

If you aren't a pc person and don't want help, stop using the PC and go do something else, i don't care. Just fuck off, seriously...

Its similar to the whole "Every keyboard that is not fully mechanical sucks and is useless". Yet here I am able to type on anything.

"only people with 1080ti in their machines are good gamers"

[marten.aap2.0]

"solid state hard drive"

[Jellyfish]

x86 is better than x64 because its a bigger number

I think that typing on a laptop keyboard is easier than on a mechanical ..

I do those just for fun tbh, if I have the time I can find troubleshooting really enjoyable

Same, I just enjoy fixing them up .. most of the time they offer to pay anyhow (Not as much as they'd be paying in a store, but still a nice gesture off gratitude)

 

What really "triggers" (More something like annoys/baffles me) is this statement : 

 

Consoles are better then PC's.

Because reasons.

 

Look better isn't an objective statement to begin with, I can prefer mobile games .. why because I can.

After all, you; yourself have to be the one using it.

Personally after work I enjoy consoles more for the personal reasons of:

I can lay back, still easily use the darn thing

I can play my games & relax without Windows 10 acting up (For all the ones saying it doesn't, consider yourself lucky .. my hardware hates Windows 10.)

 

But if I still have more then 1% energy left I'll take the PC and go full-on hardcore PCMR. It is called preference .. so yes telling me that statement, or reversing it is "triggers" me to send this message... yay *faceplants keyboard*

Actually, I had people tell me that before .. it obviously makes no sense and they claimed the reason behind it is:

More FPS =  More fluid gameplay = you get more alert and and and and anal and you get a higher score and play better!

Then I mentioned refresh rates .. lets just say WW3 started.

 

It isn't the gear that makes the gamer, the gamer .. makes the gamer.

You can learn to play with lower framerates/inputlag/terrible mice,keyboard

I played CS:GO at 15FPS AVG and when finally reaching 60FPS after building my first PC .. I played like shit.

My mouse wasn't what I grew accustom to, my framerates seemed .. off, it of course did go back to normal .. but I never got 300% better.
I admit, 60FPS is better then 15. It just is. But that just goes to show how much habits have to do with it. If you are used to the "bad", going to the "good" might hinder you at first.

Had someone try to sell me a laptop with Intel HD graphics saying I could game, then go to someone else and tell them their sons Christmas present should be a top of the line Acer predator laptop because he was going to school... Uhhhh

I now work in retail selling computers and I'm so glad I know what to sell to people based on their needs.

When people complain about the marketing around MacBooks when they know dam well they are better for university work.

Unless you go to college at a technical university and seeing an apple product anywhere almost never happens because your classes require a linux distro and none of the students need apple to hold their hand while they click on news articles or whatever apple lovers call productivity.

You guys talk about apple users being elitist, can't you hear how elitist you guys sound on the other side? Everyone is just as bad as each other.

There is actually some truth to that, but it's only relevant in specific situations. Like if you're moving quickly through the map and it's trying to load all the objects and textures as you move along.

Agreed - large open world games that have in-map seamless loading will benefit from an SSD, for example.

I never really had a issue with a 7200 rpm drive, 5400 yes... granted I dont have massive settings enabled usually and i dont own any really powerful games in some sense.

 

The only games that might lag are due to loading screens more than anything... Also windows 10, in general...

 

Then again i have a drive dedicated for games, so nothing else including recording gameplay goes on the same drive, so I usually get full read speed
