  • I think for ML and stuff, I am currently waiting for the release of the 24gb intel battlemage cards.

    Our college has a lot of alienware aurora r7’s and i think its a pretty okay sized case. Like the ones we have are loaded with 4090’s, so I assume you should be fine. If you are upgrading anything, you should make sure your powersupply covers the requirements.

    I’ve never tinkered with alienware but two of my friends had issues trying to upgrade cpus because the bolts and screws were installed super tight. Maybe you wont have this issue. Best of luck hope this helps :]



  • I think I have a similar experience, just a few years off.I didn’t grow up with nes or snes but my parents did. Took me a while to find out that my parents used to be gamers because during childhood, gaming was basically banned. I didn’t learn until later on in life that the reason why it was banned was because it was tooooo addicting (for them lol) like my mom sold her entire snes collection and my dad just hid his sega genesis and nomad. Gaming only picked up for me when I got my first computer. After a decade of multiplayer gaming, I’m finally starting to play games that I had missed out during my childhood and let me tell you, holy shit these games are fun. Would life be any different if I had access to these consoles growing up? Probably, but either way I am sure I would still have fun.

    Whenever both of my parents retire, Im gonna setup my parents consoles ( will prob emulate snes cuz its too expensive to buy) and be like “You cant die yet mom/dad, you’re gonna have to beat all these games in your library lol”.



  • just eyeballin the specs it looks alright - like idrk if its all compatible I assume they are. I would get more ram if possible, I think 32 is gonna be the standard soon if not now (therefore if you want to future proof maybe get more).

    Also get more fans. I’ve heard that there are noctua clones (or something else ) that have been doing well but I can remember the name.

    Get a ups - dont want to have your computer fry during a storm.

    Maybe increase powersupply because overtime they will lose there capability( I dont know what its called exactly but basically over time it will decrease in output).

    Oh shit I just noticed, do you have a cpu cooler? DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON THIS. Im pretty sure ryzen7 doesnt come with a heatsink but if it does, chances are its mid. Ive only built with air coolers never tried AIO liquid coolers so I cant say much about them.

    You “could” buy stuff used but like since this is your first pc I would try getting everything new. Also, new stuff “can” sometimes come outta the box broken (it just happens sometimes) so keep that in mind. But overall, yeah have fun :] I assume you are also getting a gaming monitor so make sure you set the refresh rate in os settings! Also dont plug in displayport or hdmi cable into motherboard. Sorry for the long text but again have fun!!

    THERMAL PASTE- dont need to be too fancy but do shop around.

    Also if you do end up getting more fans, you might need a fan controller. I do not know if your motherboard has enough fan ports. Do keep this in mind ~ it sucks to go back to a store to buy more stuff.




  • I might have a stupid answer but like what I’m thinking (I’m 100% just guessing) is that you still kinda move around ( like rolling from side to side or scratching your ass ) when you sleep. So therefore, maybe your brain is probably somewhat active - like you are doing more than just subconsiously breathing and sleeping like a dead body. Thennnnn, maybe you are stroking it or maybe its just your brain sending signals to your thingy with out you stroking it. Maybe it’s all in your head.

    However, if you’re pumping it then I am sure you would notice it and wake up. Im saying all this because I recently had a dream where I was in a fight and i literally kicked the wall next to my bed as hard as I could. IT FUCKING HURT. I aimed for his neck…

    android user now but basically… it might be that most of us Americans try to take the path of least resistance or whatever doesn’t give us headaches. I mean like, almost everything we do (except taxes) are pretty simplified. And even for taxes, we can LITERALLY pay for services to simplify or do it for us ( like wtf, this is kinda stupid). Apple does a good job of making it an easy experience.

    1. easy to use - like an automatic car vs manual car.

    2. popular apps just work - I don’t think its a problem now but I remember when some social media apps were just broken on android vs iphone.

    3. a lot of the software looks pretty clean and fancy. Gives it a polished experience.

    4. HARD TO LEAVE - Apple products work better with other apple products. Once you leave, you basically lose out on all the purchases you’ve made over the years.

    5. Apple store support - life saver for most people

    6. Security updates more consistent.

    Hell, trying to adjust from typing with iphone keyboard to android keyboard took longer than expected.

    Also our government issues out iphones for fed employees.

    oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.

    When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.





  • My memory is foggy but ive used xfce for a long while, then switched to i3gaps with void linux. stopped using linux cuz they couldn’t locate the developer or something( like we didn’t get updates for half a year 0_o)

    … I ended up forgetting how to use i3. I dont know what the community uses nowadays but my god i3 was AMAZING. It felt like a caveman that just learned how to make fire- and it was a big fucking fire.

    I reaaaaally want to use i3 again but do not want to spend the time relearning everything. Highly recommend it though.
