I dunno if this post is particularly necessary but I'm aware we've got a few PC/tech/hardware/whatever enthusiasts here, and I'm bored out of my mind, so I figured I may as well show this.
I'd love to just post a text list of the specs but I cant find an actual text list to copy, so I'm just going to drop the stupid BestBuy link:
And yes, I know... Best Buy. Nobody else had the stupid thing (that I could find). But, whatever, I dont actually care too much about that so long as the thing arrives and actually functions.
Chose this after watching a whole bunch of reviews and such on pre-built machines. There's no way I'd be building one myself, it aint happening.
It probably aint perfect, but my almost nonexistent understanding of (and total lack of interest in) actual hardware makes the choices kinda limited, and my patience in making those choices even more limited.
I'll just be glad when it gets here. The machine I'm on now is so close to death that 99.99% of the things on it no longer work. It can load this site and also Youtube so long as I give it a complete power-down break every couple of hours or so. And it cant have more than just a couple of browser tabs open at once. With most extensions turned off. And almost everything else turned off. The fact that it's even running whatsoever is a miracle in and of itself.
Driving me crazy, it is. There's just not much else to do. I've got my Raspberry Pi emulator box, but the interface in that thing was designed by extremely drunken monkeys with a hammer (which they use to hit themselves over the head with), which means I dont have the patience to use it very often, and I've also got a Nintendo Switch, but... honestly if I'm being totally honest the Switch kinda sucks. Not a good selection of games and the shop is torture to browse in any case (I hope someone got fired for that. And then rehired so that they can experience being fired again. And then kicked by a donkey). I use it only when the PC isnt available. Really the only part I like about it is the Pro Controller, and that is almost purely used with the PC, not with the Switch itself. Honestly I doubt I'll ever buy another console past that one, they've just been so garbagey in recent generations. Last console I actually liked was... er... uh... I dont know. Not anything recent, that's for sure.
Enough "bloody stupid console" ranting though.
Gonna take a week for the PC to get here, but the order has been placed at least.
Until then, I guess I'll go... er... stare at a wall? I dunno there really isnt much else to do.
