  • Wait, Vortex doesn’t work on Linux? Seriously!? God fucking damnit, I’m going to be stuck with Windows forever.

    I can’t go back to the old days of manually installing and updating mods by hand. Those were some rough times, and I never want to relive them again.








  • It’s been over 3 years now and I haven’t had a single issue. I made sure to plug in the 12VHPR cable all the way and avoid bending it. I also made sure to buy a top tier PCIe 5 PSU.

    The issue was vastly blown out of proportion. Don’t be an idiot and you have nothing to worry about.


  • My biggest regret is going with 32 of instead of 64GB of DDR5, when I built a new Ryzen 7000 PC in 2022 to replace my aging 4th gen i5.

    But what I don’t regret is ignoring everyone telling me not to do all sorts of unspeakable things to snag a $1600 4090 at launch, especially given that it was never sold that cheaply ever again. It’s a beast of a card and I’ll easily get a decade of gaming out of it. Saw 4090s going for over $3K used on eBay lately, so yeah I’m happy with making what was a dumb decision at the time.






  • Tell me about it. I also paid about the same for a 1070 back in 2016 and it lasted me all the way until 2022, when I finally decided to be a sucker and pony up the $1600 for a brand new 4090 at launch. Which as insane as that is, I’m glad I did because now 4090s go for about $3K used!

    If you didn’t buy a new GPU by mid 2023, you’re pretty much stuck with what you have for the foreseeable future, given how insane prices are now with no signs of slowing down.
