Bakeneko posted:Building your own PC from scratch isn’t for everyone because of how complicated it is, but there are always going to be local independent computer technicians who will do the work for you and still charge way less than the likes of Dell. They’re far easier to get ahold of, and all the ones I’ve dealt with have been very helpful both in picking out parts beforehand and making sure everything works properly once it’s set up.

Terrible Opinions posted:This is not universally true. In there are parts of the US where it is impossible to be a tech for individual person clients and make a living. Just due to low little people are willing to pay for computer repair versus how long an individual repair can take. Well that sucks. I guess it's just a case of it being a different situation in the UK.

I think in the US it's possible in densely urban areas where you constantly have customers, but at least in the Midwest every computer repair store I've worked with has either gone out of business or had to partner with some larger business as their IT on retainer to stay afloat.

My brain is throwing up some red flags at Mauler's name, but I did just very much enjoy their take down of Snyder's Justice League. Are they some sort of chud, or just long winded?

Are they some sort of chud, or just long winded? Specifically Mauler's and his crew are known mainly in the thread for doing an 11 hour stream that heavily tried to mock Jenny's fairly standard take on the Joker movie. I think it kicked off with them making fun of her makeup and generally be weird and lovely. Around the release Jenny's replies just had a constant gallop between -What weirdo would watch an 11 hour video? -You idiot! It's just dudes hanging around streaming they don't talk about her the whole time! -Oh, cool, well what did they have to say? -You have to see it, I can't really sum it up. It's super smart though. -Okay what are the timestamps? -Wow! So you can take it out of context? You need to see the whole thing, I can't just rip parts out! -So, it's an 11 hour video... Repeat until you yearn for death. In fairness, this doesn't mean he can't have good points or have chud free stuff. Just a heads up before you dive too far into his stuff. Edit: Hell, I almost linked a Brad Jones video here because I liked his takedown of the bad Clarice show's pilot. I went to get the name, and went "Hmm, Cinema Snob...Brad, why does that sound familiar?" Still not sure how I ended up subbed.

You've ruined it forever!!1!"  and also people will call you some kind of political extremist if you happened to like their movies. (You're somehow both a communist and a disney shill if you like TLJ and you're a racist sexist nazi if you like snyderverse)They both seem to ignite the same kind of fanboy brain worms and I'm not sure why outside of just making a new, kinda edgy take on beloved pop culture characters? (Luke Skywalker and Superman/Batman) Like, Is that all it took to start the endless fandom wars and 12 hour youtube video """"essays"""" bitching about it?

Though I am more chill over the fact that there has been so many interpretations of Batman and Superman that a lovely movie or two isn't going to kill off the franchises.

It might just a brief blip of a thought as he slips off to bed one night and just shrugs it off and keeps on trucking, or it might be a reality cracking thing that causes him to completely liquidate his online oeuvre out of a suddenly, clawing existential shame like his friend The Dishonoured Wolf did when he realized "holy gently caress, I'm a huge ugly racist... goodbye world" and erased himself from the internet.

Yeah, I sympathise but... There’s no universe in which he employed the proper amount of research and care prior to purchase and forgot to get a wifi card in a machine for which wireless is his only option. Sinilarly, how the hell do you drop four digits on a computer without knowing that it boots from a mechanical drive?

Jimbot posted:Jack Saint did a video specifically about Mauler. Ironically enough, it's one of his longer videos. HYPOCRITE MUCH!?!?!??!?!?! Patricia Taxton also did a pair of videos on the 'objective critique' mauler and his buddies expouse. They're very good, but what I found really revealing was the streams Taxton and Jack Saint did watching the 'Every Frame a Pause' crew watch Taxton's videos. Yes it was a recursive nightmare of people watching people watching a video made in response to another response video but it really demonstrates that the 'EFaP' (ugh) crew cannot begin to understand a structured argument and it was very funny to see them pause after a hypothetical leading question, talk about the obvious answer to the question for 5 minutes then furiously backpedal after playing another ten seconds of the video because it agrees with what they just said. They are also extraordinarilly petty and disrespectful but any slight dig or joke Patricia made about them was treated as the gravest insult and proof of bad faith. Despite their constant appeals to 'watch the whole thing' to avoid criticism of their own 10 hour reviews and streams it won't suprise you that despite streaming for three hours the EFaP crew couldn't even finish watching a 40 minute video.

Yeah, that’s one of the most important things to remember about Mauler. He genuinely believes there’s such a thing as the objective review and is willing to spend the majority of his day rambling about it.

My sole contribution to the PC build chat is that I actually stopped building my own around the time graphics cards went nuclear thanks to bitcoin, and started buying prebuilt because I am am very lazy and it takes a lot of effort to get good sourced parts and hope they don't just get smashed apart in transit (which seems to happen like 30% of the time) or turn out to be used and have been set on fire at some point despite the site everyone says is "100% trustworthy, I get all my parts from here" insisting it was brand new and then having to spend like months arguing over it with their customer support only to learn that the person selling it was maybe from china, doesn't exist and you won't be getting your money back. So I just wait for costco to have a sale on prebuilt PCs or something so I can buy it there.

Another magic set, another day9 "set review" He ranks cards from 0-5 in usability(sometimes negative numbers if they're aggressively terrible), and in this one he allows chat members to redeem "review score rerolls where he is forced to rate a card the number of their choice and argue for that stance. part 1 (white/blue, starting from the beginning in this link), the embed below for the amazing review of Devastating Mastery where someone redeems their rating reroll mid card review, forcing him to immediately stop dunking on the terrible card and switch into selling it as a 5 out of 5, barely holding himself together the whole time, it's great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlvaixi2tMU&hd=1&t=810s Part 2, black/red/green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXK8fRhtSC0&hd=1 Gold/colorless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip9C4EMklF0&hd=1 Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Apr 15, 2021 |

Yep. The only way to get a decent graphics card without fighting scalpers is to buy it attached to a PC on a small premium over buying the parts separately. For those who want the "fun" of struggling with what part isn't working, hey, go nuts. You might even save a bit of money too if you don't end up with bum parts and have the time and stress to burn.
