The PC I got was DOA! Or at least the GPU was.
Shit! So I decided to get a refund and then a new one for barely more than the cost of the old one.

This one only has an i5-12600K (which to be fair isn't much worse than the i7-12700K; it's still substantially better than the 17-9700K for good measure and is only very slightly worse than the i7-12700K), but to make up for it, I decided to get a much better GPU: the 3080.

Looking at the specs for the first one, I'm kicking myself for spending $150 more for the i7-12700K when the i5-12600K is quite literally almost indistinguishable and then getting a 3070 when I could've gotten a 3080. So I'm rectifying that one for the second try. Everything else except the PSU is the same; I'm getting a 750W one this time around to account for the more powerful GPU.

Nice! The 3080 is almost like a mini-supercomputer.

Let me know when you're on Steam and when you wanna do some co-op or PvP.

[Yuli Ban]

Sure thing.

And if everything goes well, I might be able to sell the 3080 next year to get a 4080, depending on how psychotic scalpers are.

I'm more interested in this game than I have any right to be

Reminds me of Jet Set Radio and Splatoon aesthetically, very cool.

I'm excited for a number of video game releases in 2022, as many seem to be portraying an optimistic future for humankind and technology. Those are the storylines that (IMO) should be promoted; to help stir the imaginations of others in a like-manner. And what better medium to do so than video games?!

^ Resident Evil Village for me.
