i have bipolar II disorder. i probably shouldn't admit that here because i know it's going to come back and bite me in the rear end

honestly i always say this, but you'd think yospos (and SA in general) would be more accepting of this sort of stuff?

Here's Motherboard's super simple guide to building your first gaming PC:

Step 1: Have an unreasonable amount of disposable income.
Step 2: Have an unreasonable amount of time to research, shop around, and assemble parts for your computer.

I could have saved a significant amount of money bargain hunting, but this was an inconvenience I was happy to avoid for a price.

eh, i know a lot of people who have little to no technical skill and an inability to follow directions but like playing video games. they aren't going to do well building their own pc.

if you liked to play with lego as a kid though you can handle it.


e: lol at a few things tho

quote:

I have big, dumb, sausage fingers, so mounting the motherboard into the case, and screwing in nine (!) tiny screws to keep it in place in a cramped space, in weird angles, where dropping the screwdriver can easily break something expensive—it's just not what I'd call "consumer-friendly."

nine! nine screws! what am i, tony stark??

quote:

Beginning to end, the whole process of building the computer took me almost five hours, and I had to make two emergency calls to PC Gamer's Fenlon during the process; But getting there was a nightmare. It is by far the most difficult product I've ever bought and put together.

five hours!! good lord, i bet it didn't even take stradivarius five hours to make his violins! and did i mention the nine screws??

quote:

It's hard to put all these PC parts together because they're made by different companies, but there isn't even pressure from consumers to come up with better, universal standards that will make the whole experience easier.

This is why people buy from Apple. It designs everything from the trackpad to the box the computer comes in, which unfolds neatly to reveal everything you need. Apple reduces friction to the point where even my mom could upgrade the RAM on her iMac, and it can do this because it controls everything that goes in that box.

and i just double checked to be sure

quote:

*Note:
• Memory is not removable by users on iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012), iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), and iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014). If the memory in one of these computers needs to be replaced, contact an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you’d like to upgrade the memory in one of these models, an Apple Authorized Service Provider can help.

imagine if this idiot had to manually set dip switches, configure IRQs, and edit config.sys.

this kind of whining is why people make fun of millennials, btw. not because they're dumber or lazier, it's that they put up with this bitch instead of mocking him mercilessly.

no, i'm pretty sure it's due to misplaced anxiety about technology and the loss of cultural relevance.

but, you know, to each their own.
