  • I’m actually kicking myself a little bit. I was having some trouble with my processor and decided to get a replacement and I got a one-to-one replacement and I actually should have gotten the absolute limit of what my motherboard was capable of handling. I didn’t do that and now my computer is just shy of being able to run Diablo 4. 😒


  • Future proofing does not require you to shell out a ton of money. I spent less than $1,000 building my machine back in 2012, buying each part individually as I went when I could save up the money. And I didn’t actually put the thing together until 2016 or so cause my previous machine was working fine at the time. (Still is actually, as a file server in my basement) It just takes a modicum of planning and research on compatibility and what technologies are being used in cutting edge games and programs.

    Or, I should say it did. Nowadays everything has become so stupid expensive because of the race to the bottom AI Data center bullshit corporate destruction of the retail market. Though, I kind of saw this coming and bought a whole mess of parts right after Trump was elected so that I can build a decent machine to use once the one I have is no longer viable. Which I have not reached yet…
