The pandemic does make people do stupid things. Still waiting on some parts, but hopefully building soonish.

When can I expect my rig to be finished?

Is USPS still experiencing massive delays

The very second you choose parts, by some miracle find them in stock, buy them, have them shipped, watch a YouTube video on how to assemble them, and then put it together. Or you can buy mine if you plan on launching a space shuttle anytime soon.

I use a Macbook Pro and an iMac. I am as basic as they come.

Apple? No, apparently you're a fancy bitch and that's ok too.

Is someone in non-flipping need?

I think we’re all good here on the board. Starat actually has an extra one already because of course after a month of not moving the day I got his BIL another one or started moving.

Then zero. I am officially the worst.

Lol. Nah. You’re not the worst. I just wanted to see if it was actually as easy as you thought it was the first time since you’ve struck out since.

Ah ok got it. Well let me explain it this way. With PS5s, you had companies saying they would have stock "tomorrow" or at X time or with this lottery system.

Finding a graphics card right now involves having less than 2 seconds (not hyperbole) to complete a purchase and the drops happen at literally any time day or night. In order to get the 2 cards I got, I had to make a spreadsheet of the Best Buy/Newegg/other vendor drops, figure out the flow of delays in the Ports of Seattle and Los Angeles, make a Wishlist on various websites with every SKU of GPU in existence, write a bot to spam click the "Buy All" button despite the list breaking $40,000 in some cases, and wait to see if I got lucky. So by comparison, it is.

As with all things it’s all relative...

what should I know?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I know it's been a long time since I've played Terraria, but it's a damn good game.

Well, the best thing to do is open up the Wiki on your phone or laptop and just get going. The only thing you need to know to get started is that you have to build a shelter for the first night. It can be out of dirt or any old shit. It's the best.

Basically 2D Minecraft, right?

I haven't played that, but I've watched a bit of it, and I think it is very similar. The graphics are way better in Terraria. It's an awesome game if you love grinding and crafting, and also if you are not a complete idiot.

Damn, too bad...

So I should return it?

Yeah, obviously.

Adventure is more interesting in Terraria, I think. There are more bosses, game modes, mobs, and more interesting combat items. Minecraft is similar in survival and crafting elements. Building is much less rewarding in Terraria to me, though still fun.

I LOVE the building in Terraria. It feels like the most amazing design is right at the tip of your fingers, but always just out of reach, so it also drives me crazy.
