<2021-04-30T18:15:20.000Z> Xeraser: Yo, don't follow what those autists are saying about PCs
<2021-04-30T18:15:24.000Z> Xeraser: Especially not the troon
<2021-04-30T18:18:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: I don't know shit about building computers, what's wrong with their advise? 
<2021-04-30T18:18:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: *advice
<2021-04-30T18:20:19.000Z> Xeraser: Ryzens are overpriced as shit and they're a pain in the ass in terms of thermals and TDP
<2021-04-30T18:20:49.000Z> tengumatingpress: ah
<2021-04-30T18:20:55.000Z> Xeraser: If you want to build a new PC for relatively cheap look at the i5 11400F
<2021-04-30T18:20:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: so I'd better just get a good Incel CPU
<2021-04-30T18:21:06.000Z> Xeraser: Yeah
<2021-04-30T18:21:32.000Z> Xeraser: 11400F is the cheapest good CPU you can get and if you don't do any big dick 4K video editing you're never going to need anything more
<2021-04-30T18:21:43.000Z> tengumatingpress: just need something that can run GNU slash Linux stably and play fairly graphically intensive games from the early-mid 2010s, don't think I'd use it for much else
<2021-04-30T18:21:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: oh, and can run Discord and other programs at the same time without slowing
<2021-04-30T18:22:03.000Z> tengumatingpress: not sure how powerful it is, considering how awful and bloated tech is
<2021-04-30T18:22:15.000Z> Xeraser: Yeah it'll do just fine
<2021-04-30T18:22:33.000Z> tengumatingpress: any other recs re cooling and GPUs?
<2021-04-30T18:22:48.000Z> Xeraser: tech troon is laughably wrong (as always)
<2021-04-30T18:22:58.000Z> Xeraser: Hyper 212 EVO as an air cooler
<2021-04-30T18:23:23.000Z> Xeraser: Cryorig C1 if you want to stuff it in an itx case
<2021-04-30T18:25:26.000Z> Xeraser: Gelid gc-extreme for the paste, ignore the arctic mx4/5 shills
<2021-04-30T18:26:21.000Z> Xeraser: gpu-wise everyone is fucked at the moment
<2021-04-30T18:30:24.000Z> Xeraser: unless you can find some really fucking good deals on gtx 1070s or rx 590s
<2021-04-30T18:30:40.000Z> Xeraser: then get the i5 11500 instead of the 11400f
<2021-04-30T18:35:33.000Z> Xeraser: it's still not gonna be enough but it's better than not having a gpu at all
<2021-04-30T18:37:04.000Z> Xeraser: you can get a used motherboard/psu/ram provided that you get them from a reputed seller (used = good, refurbished = stay the fuck away)
<2021-04-30T18:37:42.000Z> Xeraser: what's your total budget anyway?
<2021-04-30T19:15:44.000Z> tengumatingpress: I'm running on like $9k in the bank from my last job, currently neet
<2021-04-30T19:15:56.000Z> tengumatingpress: definitely need to get another job before I build one
<2021-04-30T19:21:29.000Z> Xeraser: yeah definitely wait a bit
<2021-04-30T19:21:49.000Z> Xeraser: it's fucking impossible to find a good deal on a gpu
<2021-04-30T19:21:52.000Z> Xeraser: especially used ones
<2021-04-30T19:21:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuckin cryptoniggers
<2021-04-30T19:22:06.000Z> Xeraser: pretty much
<2021-04-30T19:22:09.000Z> Xeraser: like
<2021-04-30T19:22:40.000Z> Xeraser: worthless fucking 780s are going for 250
<2021-04-30T19:23:12.000Z> Xeraser: i paid 220 for a mini 1070 in 2019
<2021-04-30T19:23:19.000Z> Xeraser: or mid 2018 i forgot
<2021-04-30T19:23:23.000Z> tengumatingpress: fuck man
<2021-04-30T19:23:42.000Z> Xeraser: also got a 6700k and motherboard for an arcade cab but i'll have to sell it now
<2021-04-30T19:23:54.000Z> Xeraser: cause the 11400f is that fucking good 
<2021-04-30T19:24:18.000Z> Xeraser: 1070s are nearing 500 bucks
<2021-04-30T19:24:28.000Z> Xeraser: with the mini/itx ones costing even more
<2021-04-30T19:24:39.000Z> tengumatingpress: huh
<2021-04-30T19:26:20.000Z> Xeraser attached file https://img.poast.org/6c97059e81ad269730f118c9039e1139d50a14e25496e30e727e15d0322bf082.png
<2021-04-30T19:26:56.000Z> Xeraser: the only good place where you can get semi-decent deals is the facebook marketplace since the people on there are mostly clueless
<2021-06-21T16:29:47.000Z> tengumatingpress: do you have any interest in playing board wargames online?
<2021-06-21T18:43:24.000Z> Xeraser: uuh
<2021-06-21T18:43:29.000Z> Xeraser: can't say i've ever done that
<2021-06-21T18:49:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: there are free programs made to enable that, some of them are very good
<2021-06-21T18:50:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: they actually made a Girls und Panzer boardgame, though unfortunately it was never released in the West
<2021-06-21T18:50:52.000Z> tengumatingpress: I've heard it was a fun game from some buddies in Japan though
<2021-06-21T18:52:19.000Z> Xeraser: I'm too retarded for wargames but sure, I could try a few 
<2021-06-21T18:53:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: nice, any period that interests you?
<2021-06-21T18:57:41.000Z> Xeraser: ww2 and anything from classical to modern japan i guess
<2021-06-21T18:58:04.000Z> tengumatingpress: you're in luck because there are many good ww2 wargames, not as sure about classical Japan
<2021-06-21T18:58:17.000Z> tengumatingpress: I play Advanced Squad Leader, but that game's a little heavy unless you start with the Starter Kits
<2021-06-21T18:58:36.000Z> tengumatingpress: Panzer/MBT might also be of interest to you, those are much more armor based and games using only the basic rules aren't so heavy
<2021-06-21T18:59:02.000Z> tengumatingpress: Panzer/MBT as the name implies focuses heavily on AFVs, and MBT uses the same system as Panzer but uses Cold War-era tech and is set in 1987
<2021-06-21T18:59:10.000Z> Xeraser: i'm genuinely retarded lmao, i'll take anything simple
<2021-06-21T18:59:17.000Z> Xeraser: the average coh2 game makes my head hurt
<2021-06-21T19:00:38.000Z> tengumatingpress: if you want simplicity, you'd probably enjoy Ogre
<2021-06-21T19:00:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's about as simple as a wargame can be, but it's very deep
<2021-06-21T19:00:48.000Z> tengumatingpress: also, what's CoH2?
<2021-06-21T19:01:31.000Z> Xeraser: company of heroes 2
<2021-06-21T19:01:55.000Z> Xeraser: that's to say i can't think about/do more than two things at once lmao
<2021-06-21T19:02:08.000Z> tengumatingpress: then Ogre would definitely be a good game for you
<2021-06-21T19:02:34.000Z> tengumatingpress: the basic premise is one side is playing a conventional combined arms force and the other side is controlling one huge tank called an Ogre trying to destroy the defender's command post
<2021-06-21T19:02:46.000Z> tengumatingpress: the GEV expansion is more interesting to me, but the base game is a fantastic introduction to wargaming
<2021-06-21T19:02:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: want a link to the rulebooks and such?
<2021-06-21T19:02:57.000Z> Xeraser: okay yeah that does sound cool 
<2021-06-21T19:03:16.000Z> Xeraser: sure
<2021-06-21T19:03:39.000Z> Xeraser: literally the most complex game i can play is mtg and i'm still shit at it lmao
<2021-06-21T19:04:29.000Z> Xeraser: accurate representation of my brain https://img.poast.org/8b62f5a94b691b74b265d5382382cb5686885c157dcbbdfdbc0f07762779a19a.png
<2021-06-21T19:05:40.000Z> tengumatingpress: based
<2021-06-21T19:05:42.000Z> tengumatingpress: sjgames.com/ogre/resources/img/Ogre_6th_Battlefields_Rules.pdf
<2021-06-21T19:05:51.000Z> tengumatingpress: this is the rulebook, but for the basic game you only need to read through section 7
<2021-06-21T19:06:00.000Z> tengumatingpress: it's a short rulebook overall though
<2021-06-21T19:06:11.000Z> tengumatingpress: sjgames.com/ogre/resources
<2021-06-21T19:06:16.000Z> tengumatingpress: and here are the other resources if you're interested
<2021-06-21T19:07:08.000Z> Xeraser: i'll check them out
<2021-06-21T19:07:42.000Z> Xeraser: also fuck i want to play advance wars again
<2021-06-21T19:07:44.000Z> Xeraser: out of the blue 
<2021-06-21T19:11:59.000Z> tengumatingpress: never played that tbh
<2021-06-21T19:12:05.000Z> tengumatingpress: more into analogue tactical games
<2021-06-21T19:12:35.000Z> Xeraser: it's like fire emblem but not shit and with infantry and tanks and shit
<2021-06-21T19:12:45.000Z> tengumatingpress: sounds interesting
<2021-06-21T19:13:15.000Z> Xeraser: it's fire emblem but there's an actual game instead of a shit vn/dating sim 
<2021-06-21T19:13:31.000Z> Xeraser: yeah it's pretty good
<2021-06-21T19:13:36.000Z> Xeraser: anyway i'll check ogre out
<2021-06-21T19:14:37.000Z> tengumatingpress: I think you'd enjoy it
<2021-06-21T19:14:50.000Z> tengumatingpress: btw you have a mic and discord? it's generally easier to have voice up when playing it online
<2021-06-21T19:14:59.000Z> Xeraser: should i get the game on steam too?
<2021-06-21T19:15:05.000Z> Xeraser: eh
<2021-06-21T19:15:08.000Z> Xeraser: nah
<2021-06-21T19:15:20.000Z> tengumatingpress: I wouldn't recommend it, apparently it doesn't function too well and there are still things missing from it
<2021-06-21T19:15:20.000Z> Xeraser: i do have discord though 
<2021-06-21T19:15:29.000Z> Xeraser: oh alright
<2021-06-21T19:16:06.000Z> tengumatingpress: what's your discord btw?
<2021-06-21T19:16:19.000Z> Xeraser: Xeraser#4741
<2021-06-21T19:16:24.000Z> tengumatingpress: thank you
