Bitcoin is pure profit unshackled from the constraints of big government (as long as you discount the use of big government's public infrastructure)

It's weird seeing an ~~ironic~~ Nazi on modern SA. I thought they mostly stuck to GBS these days.

depending on how much kit he's selling for that price and how used it is, you could actually probably turn a profit buying that and reconfiguring all the pieces into gaming PCs

e: holy gently caress, 85 1080s and 15 RX Vegas :shittypop: he's basically selling a "start your own custom computer business" kit

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

Those GPUs are beyond used. Mining cryptocurrency pushes them to their limits until they give in, but, in this case, he gave up first.

Yeah I would say buying a used GPU in this era is about as risky as buying a used first-gen PS3/360

You could pass equipment on too, though, which was the big thing. And saving reserve XP for a run was fine as long as you knew not to use it right away, you basically end up spending it on your last run all on Ryu anyway to compensate for the dragon powers that you no longer really need (although honestly you have plenty of % to make it through the game and still use it, people just get iffy around time limits of any kind).

My first and only clear run of Dragon Quarter had me beat the final boss at like 99.6% so as far as I'm concerned, that poo poo is way too down to the wire.

well, apparently they were temp and power limited, so this doesn't seem like quite that sure of a bet; assuming that's not a lie, they'd probably be in about the same condition as if they were used normally. from what's written, i would venture the reason why the guy's giving up is because he can't do temp/power limits and still get remotely decent ROI.

Brah no way. That poo poo's been running all day and all night. No human being will run their GPU at 65C twenty-four hours a day every day of the week unless they do something tremendously stupid like going to work with, like, FF15 running off pause all day long. Even the hardest of hardcore marathon gamers probably physically can't play for longer than 24... let's be generous and say 48 hours at a stretch without closing all their graphics-intensive applications down and either idling, sleeping, or completely shutting the computer off when they go to sleep.

Those GPUs are fuckin fried, they've worked longer hours at a higher intensity than a normal gaming GPU will work over an entire decade.

I dunno the game over screen where Silver Surfer's morale and soul are crushed and he's left weeping on a surf board floating through space is pretty amazing.

Reading the Fortnite that is currently more entertaining than paying Fortnite

I've never actually played Fortnite so that likely isn't true but seeing Nazis try to back pedal and defend themselves by yearning for 9/11 photoshops is a pretty good read

Thanks for doing what you did. Taylor Swift should have just replied with #maga instead of doing the "haha I was only pretending to be retarded" shtick but i love a bit of forum drama.

Anyway, in Games: I'm real close to the end of The Surge. Spent maybe 4 hours beating Black Cerberus but I got the rhythm down by the end and now I have his lightning battle axe. Everything after the boss has been more or less smooth sailing as I approach the final area, but this place is a maze. There's a robot here somewhere that I need to find for a side quest but I haven't had any luck finding her.

I feel bad because I still laugh at and have made 9/11 photoshops in the past

idk what it is, there's something about 9/11 where I'll laugh at that poo poo but not if it were something like, say, a mass shooting. I dunno. It's probably just me being stupid because it's not funny that people died but I still get a chuckle out of all of the extreme patriotism that has come out of it and the dumb conspiracy theory stuff and the photoshops contrasting such a horrible event with whatever other thing the shopper felt like combining it with
