I would personally call OP’s cable “house-fire”

bussy gaming

Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

Hmm. That’s not a controversial as I was hoping for.

Nintendo isn’t being bold enough.

So I don’t know what “Mario is pronouns now” means, and I don’t want to feed a Search Engine to figure it out. Sounds like I don’t need to know!

Ooooh oooh I know this one! Due to the overwhelming success, they’re going to shut down F099 as soon as possible.

You’ve been out of the loop for a while, but you picked some good specs to start. I have some general thoughts below:

Cooler- don’t forget some of the new ultra competitive HSF options from competitors around the $50 price point. Check out Gamersnexus and some of their recent cooler reviews for alternatives. The space has gotten extremely competitive.

Motherboard- you want B650. B660 is intel’s socket.

CPU- So AM5 is going to be a fairly long-lived platform. You may want to consider the 7600 as an alternative, as by the time you’ll want to upgrade your (4060-tier) GPU you’d probably overshoot a 7800X3D anyway. AM5 is likely going to last long enough that a theoretical 9800X3D will blow both the 7600 and 7800X3D out of the water.

GPU- if you’re shooting for value and are wanting to have a build you can upgrade into, nothing beats the 6700XT/6750XT right now. Just search both those in PCPartPicker and sort price>low-high. Grab the cheapest one.

If a phone hit all of these, and added 6 years of guaranteed (timely) OEM OS updates, I would pay upwards of $2,000+.

OEMs hit me up - I’ve got a credit card ready to go right now.

The best retro gaming console is the one you already own. Any old hand-me-down or thrift office PC can handle the majority of retro titles, as can most consoles with custom firmware.

If you already own anything from the DS-3DS-PSP-Vita lineups you should be looking into making the most of the hardware you already own.

That being said, my partner is very happy with their Deck, and I’m pretty pleased with my RG351V running ArkOS. I’ve also been very happy with running my RP3B+ with Retropie.

But to be very honest, I don’t do a damn thing that my gaming PC two builds ago, and my PSP1000 I’ve had since high school wouldn’t be able to handle with flying colors.

Wait, you’re telling me police officers in Phoenix have executed a random person more than once?

Next you’re going to tell me they’ve recently kept slaves in air-conditionless tents in one of the hottest counties in the country.

It’s Phoenix. She’s lucky the cops didn’t execute her on the spot.

Y’all remember that time they did that? I remember.

It’s a great game, multiplayer shenanigans with friends.

The public audio is almost entirely people having fun which is a lot more to be said than a lot of other popular online shooters.
