Annie are you ok?

No, but thanks for asking.

I just want to single this out as absurdly moronic. With no wealth inequality, taxes would still be needed to cover infrastructure, military, and other governmental costs. Humans aren't that nice that they'd pay for good roads for everyone out of the kindness of their hearts. 100% agreed on this however.

Congrats!

Does it make you cry?

You're obviously not the one to dictate spelling to others, considering your lack of capitalization and punctuation.

3580 - Meh.

Yes.

Conan Exiles Just recently got the game and all DLCs, and it's quite fun, despite decidedly last-gen animations and graphics, and absolutely horrific optimization.

My Mom has the theory that this is all organized by the same people that bussed people in to cause riots when the BLM marches were happening peacefully. After all, the damage and looting didn't start until after it was dark, and was entirely non-violent prior to that. Really, it has nothing to do with Trump, he's just a convenient excuse that people don't have any issues misquoting or taking out of context to make it seem like he instigates any of this.

There's a distinct lack of Hitchhiker's Guide references for page 42...

3578 - Meh.

Actually, so far as I can tell, the people behind those are all for it. Even the lobbyists. (it massively hurts overall sales and company image both short and long term if only scalpers can purchase your products, something lobbyists would be thoroughly against) While the RX 580 isn't great for VR, it is still quite capable at lower settings. The CPU will be a huge bottleneck for VR, as it has a ton more CPU-side processing it has to do in VR than in regular rendering. It's highly likely to start stuttering with a severely mismatched GPU/CPU. (and not just occasional small stutters, think like a couple 100+ms stutters per second, despite maintaining a much higher average FPS) B550 and any of the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs would be ideal, alternatively a B550 and a Ryzen 5 3600. (about $80 less expensive until AMD releases the 5600) At this point in time, I would not intentionally go for a B450. The B550 is on a technical level the best AMD motherboard chipset available. Of course, I recommend watching a few of Buildzoid's videos on which B550 motherboards to get. (some are on his youtube channel "Actually Hardcore Overclocking", and some are over on "Gamers Nexus") However, you can start with a Ryzen 5000, and upgrade the motherboard later if you wish, as there is a BIOS update that will allow the 5000 series to work in your motherboard. I'd suggest to do it sooner. Prices generally go up when new RAM architectures come out, mainly because most manufacturers are no longer making the older stuff. I would also recommend a better set of RAM rather than just more sticks, as it can quite significantly affect your CPU performance. (on systems that have a CPU bottleneck, it can increase FPS by as much as 15%) Just make sure you're not mixing and matching RAM, even if it has all the same specs. (unless they're the exact same in every regard, down to PCB revisions that aren't ever advertised, you'll be leaving performance on the table) Right now, NOTHING beats the Samsung B-die in the G.Skill 4000 15-16-16, even if other RAM can go "faster". (but those are $190 for a pair of 8GB sticks or $390 for 4 matched sticks, so not that great a purchase idea when on a budget) I'd suggest a currently $240 kit from G.Skill, TridentZ 4x8GB 3600 16-16-16-36. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232584 It's basically the same RAM I have in my system, just with a $50 discount from what I paid. (though the exact RAM I have would be the same price now, if it were still available, the only difference is the heat spreader) Better to get a board with dual NVMe, and stick a pair of 1TB drives in there. They're faster than any SATA RAID is physically capable of, (and less likely to lose data than any spinning rust drive) and it's only a single drive with no cables about the size of a RAM stick. If you really need redundant, or really want to try a RAID, (like I did) then don't try a large drive array. It takes way too long for the system to rebuild the array if there is a discrepancy between the drives. (I have a pair of fast 2TB drives RAIDed, and they take almost 24hrs to rebuild when an unexpected shutdown or crash happens) I've always thought "that $50 RGB strand that glows in a cool pattern looks kinda cool, but it just distracts you from what's on that $300+ RGB array that you're interacting with, so why are you paying more for a distraction?". Besides, sleeper builds are a thing, as is comfort of actually using the system. Would having it be white or really colorful help you in any way, either with gaming or for psychological reasons with decor matching? If not, then it's better to save the money you'd spend on that for better hardware that will improve the experience of actually using the system. It's just an opinion, but it's the right one.

I don't want this, I want pictures of Spiderman!

You should give Tribes 2 a try sometime... It's still going in multiplayer despite being 21 years old, and you haven't seen "skill ceiling" until you've seen a spinfusor snipe of one flying guy by another from the equivalent of 500m. (repeated every round or two, no cheats needed)

You really need to learn to embrace the shift key... It's not as "advanced" as 5th graders make it seem.

3572 - Maybe next time kerdios.

No it isn't.

Trump isn't a dictator, no matter what the media tries to tell you. He can't control any of this.

3568 - The next person better get it.

We're on page 42. This page will contain the answer.

As long as it loads the captcha, it doesn't require me to input anything. Yes. Not mutually exclusive, even though it would seem like it.

Indeed. It's a grand scale RTS, not a fleet micromanagement RTS.
