Opinions are like assholes everyone has one

And I disagree with yours.

and people scoff when I tell them just spend a good $1500 upfront and you'll have pc that'll run pretty much everything, for at least 10 years, maybe you upgrade the cpu, add ram, or swap the gpu, it's still cheaper over all, if you account time

You'll spend more buying the newest console like you buy smartphones, every 3-5 years


Spending $1500 won't get you ten years and upgrading the cpu, ram and gpu basically turns it into a new computer.

Trigger's awarded a medal for saving the council money by using the same broom for over 20 years... or is it?

the pc in my sig is around 10years old, I haven't put more than $2000 in it during that time, new mobo, cpu, ram, and gpu, shit still on lga1155

Still runs just fine my friend, literally just plug the hdd in and everything works as before, hardware speaking its a new pc, but I don't have buy the games over again, everything I had installed still runs, and I can play the lastest stuff, just plug my existing ssd and hdd in the new mobo

Make a worm and create giant xbox/playstation crypto botnet and make bank
Or just create a stealth mining app named svchost.exe so it blends in, and run it on all the computers at Best Buy. Free mining power baby! (Don't forget to create a shortcut in the Startup folder, so it starts at every reboot.)

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
