Discussion Reminder to cancel all your ''cloud gaming'' subscriptions
Do NOT subscribe to cloud gaming.
These greedy fucking trillionaires will never have enough money to be happy.
They want EVERYTHING to be a subscription to where you never own anything.
Music, Movies, Video Games, your fucking FRIDGE has a subscription and now they're moving to PC hardware.
Prices will stabilize, its the same dotcom bubble all over again, just be patient and stop panicking, you will be able to purchase hardware in a relatively short amount of time (1-2 years)
Remember Bitcoin miners? We thought GPU prices will never go down again but they did
Just give it time, and do NOT subscribe to these clowns.

Discussion Finally upgraded my PC and now I’m weirdly stressed about using it
This is going to sound stupid, but I’ve been thinking about it all day.
I finally upgraded my PC after putting it off for a long time. Nothing insane, but it’s a pretty big jump from what I was using before. I was excited the whole week waiting for parts, watching videos, planning everything out. Built it last night, it posted on the first try, no issues, temps look fine. Objectively, everything went perfect. And now I’m sitting here kind of scared to use it? Earlier today I was literally just playing on my phone instead of turning it on, because my brain kept going what if something is wrong and I don’t notice, what if I messed something up and it slowly kills the parts, what if the PSU explodes or something dumb like that. I know that sounds irrational. I’ve built PCs before. I know how this works. But this one cost more than any build I’ve done and now it feels like I’m babysitting it instead of enjoying it. I keep checking temps, listening for weird noises, opening the case to look at cables like they’re going to move on their own.
The funny part is that when I had my old crappy PC, I never cared. If it crashed, whatever. Now that I finally have something nice, I’m acting like it’s made of glass.
Did anyone else get this after a big upgrade? How long does it take before you stop being paranoid and just use the thing like a normal person. I feel ridiculous typing this but here we are.
