site posted:man, who the gently caress wants to buy a game with 30 dlcs on a store with no cart Yeah, I thought it's a good opprotunity for Paradox to add some sort of ultimate edition or something. They never added one for CK2, but at least there were some bundles including a lot of important DLCs. But here if someone wants to get everything for EU4 they'll have to open each DLC page, enter card information, wait till the payment is done (in my case it might take up to 3 minutes for confirmation SMS from my bank to arrive) and then proceed. It might very well take 1.5 hours to buy it all. Mind-blowing.

Pretty lame that they're giving out Alien Isolation on a store any astute free-game-getter already has the game on, and through account linking so they can't even give it away.

I came pretty close recently to buying Stubbs out of nostalgia, so this is great. Plus it's a good game.

Is PC Building Simulator as frustrating as building a new desktop PC in real life? Last time I bought a gaming rig I bought all the parts and paid a professional to make a computer out of them. Smartest thing I've ever done.

If you don’t have to spend 30 minutes trying to connect the front panel wires and still end up with no hdd light, what’s even the point?

Last time I bought a gaming rig I bought all the parts and paid a professional to make a computer out of them. Smartest thing I've ever done. Not even close. For starters, you always have the right type of cables at the perfect length to never tangle that always plug in correctly. Same for screws. The part you get in the mail is always the same as the part that you ordered. The games tells you in big bold letters that two parts are incompatible, without first having to check that all of your cables are plugged in properly followed by multiple hours of Googling to find out that your RAM uses BOFA architecture, while your power supply can only handle LIGMA.

LIGMA RAM is baller, I'd grab a pair if they're available. BOFA is okay if you avoid the ones with "D"s at the end of serial number. Whichever way you decide to swing it you should be able to work out compatibility with a couple of small diagnostic testies.

JustJeff88 posted:So is being a snarky prat on the Internet, apparently. honestly, i find people who are so smug haven't actually done it in the last 10 years. the advent of the dipolar electron sealant embedding has made all sorts of new circuit designs possible, from BOFA to LIGMA to even that really cool DRAGON variant that came out of shenzen just like two years ago. but naturally, BOFA-DESE, LIGMA-DESE, and DRAGON-DESE are not even remotely compatible (and DRAGON-DESE will actually fry older machine parts!) and the labeling on all of this stuff is unforgivably atrocious.

Party Boat posted:Building a PC is like making flatpack furniture, I personally find it satisfying and relaxing but I can see how it would be a hellish exercise in frustration for someone else yeah the real talk is that i have no idea what it is about the activity of building a PC, but it makes me deeply, deeply angry. i am not, by nature, a particularly wrathful man. quite the contrary, a lot of my rather harrowing life experiences have made me quite calm and philosophical about a lot of challenges. but something about building a PC makes me use up more profanity than i normally go through in six months. i can't put my finger on why. i can tell you the little annoyances that i notice - the awkward finagling, the tedious cable management, the uncomfortable pressure the thin components put on an old injury in my right hand, etc. but i encounter things that are equally awkward, tedious, and uncomfortable in my day to day and they never bother me. something about PC surgery, though, just makes me want to strangle a hobo. so the last two times i built a new machine, i did what justjeff did. that kind of anger does not have a place in my life.

Part of my job in real life is to get inside PC's and fix them/build them. I'll still spend the extra cash to have the PC delivered to me completely built. gently caress doing it in my own time, tbh.

Check the pc building thread before you build one. It’s much faster for pro goon to check compatibility and hardware review than you googling it for hours. I also prefer custom order someone to build it for me. Sometimes certain PC components like graphic card would come with a ‘free’ game along with it.

NPR Journalizard posted:I built my last one, because I valued the money saved more than my time and effort. Makes sense. I don't really save any money on building it myself because the guys I order from will build it for free as I bring them enough business anyway, so i'm mostly only saving on cost of parts, which actually isn't that different in a prebuilt these days. Especially now that GPU's are loving insane.

CYBEReris posted:is the graphics card market still hosed up enough that pre-built is often cheaper or has that weird time passed You will still likely not be able to find a modern graphics card for less than a 100% markup unless you buy a prebuilt(which has its own, smaller markups on all the components) or you spend a ton of time trawling online stores to try to pounce on the tiny trickle of new stock as it releases before it gets snapped up by scalpers(who will then sell it for the >100% markup on ebay) or other people who are desperately shopping like you.
