Oh I see 😂
I was assigned specific work to do, but forgot how to access it....
did you buy the power tools?
Computer parts
oh man
I was gonna say that’s a cruise holiday
I spent over $200 on these 3 hammers
Worries fading away
Yo awesome, gotta try this more often
That 11k is just business, not my personal spending
I did buy a new miter saw last year tho
Anyway I gotta get going. Should be back in maybe an hour or so. Stay safe and healthy y'all
Miter?
Double bevel 👌
I found the work!
Nice
Yes
What’s that
I wish I knew how much money I spent buying things for my cats on Amazon
I swear 90% of the things I get are because the cats need something quickly
My needy bastards
Oh darn
One of those guys
It's perfect
Pretty cool piece of machinery
😂
I'll be back in a while y'all. Take it easy
Same
I have scoured Amazon and all the pet stores here going through litter trying to find one that my cats approve of that I can tolerate.
Went into Walmart sometime last month and there was one I hadn't seen b4. They like it, I like it, and it isn't costly x.x
I expect it to be discontinued soon.
Before you go
I saw a poster for a bobby impersonation contest held in Texas and it reminded me of your existence
I don't have a link to the image but it was amusing imo
It's really like that though 😭
Luckily I haven't had issues with their litter, but they're three crazy boys so I have to buy them toys and stuff like that a lot because they either lose it or break it

Nori's favorite toys have been from dollar tree, cheap stuffed animals, discount scratch boxes, and my socks.... She steals my socks.
Scarlett's are these giant mice for dogs so she can pretend she is a great hunter (she just brings them to us and tells us to praise her) and any box she can loaf in. Oh, and insects, if one flies in the house it is hers and only hers xD buy her a toy and she'll look at you funny lol.
Lmao
Omg I made these people so mad they highlighted everything for me xD
competition requires an adversary
You've affected their Highlighter budget, good job
Stick it to the man anyway you can
I could probably go somewhere in person but I'm out at university for a long time and want to be home so I am either hesitant to make stops or forget to make them 💀
Goose is a spoiled little boy. He doesn't like playing with toys, except little mice that squeak-squeak when you tap them. Whenever they stop squeak-squeaking, his heart is broken. The other cats will still play with it, but he needs the squeaks (spoiled)
I can't buy cardboard scratchers anymore because my dumb cat Button will piss on them. He has chronic UTIs or whatever so I also have to spend 55$ a month auto shipping his pee boy food
Heath is healthy and normal for the most part but he has so much energy and needs the jungle gyms to climb or or else he's everywhere he shouldn't be. I've bought many little jungle gyms for the cats and they all use them
Or cat trees I suppose
People hand me documents and ask me to mark what is wrong. I mark everything I find o.o
They seemed to not have liked it going back to them multiple times.
You're right, I don't care enough
Writing a memorandum in the army was fun.
Tell a dumb soldier to write up a fancy document with lots of format rules, and then it gets passed from desk to desk, accumulating red ink to show you all the mistakes you've made, and then it gets returned & you get told to do it again, and again, and again, and you don't even wanna do it in the first place lol
I want to set up a sandbox for Nori bc I know she would love to play in it and understand that is her digging play place. But, I know Scarlett would use it as a litter box x.x
I am lucky that mine don't have any major health issues. Nori just tries to eat anything that can kill her (food wise) and Scarlett has some small allergies to things that we just avoid giving her.
Maybe they should just stop being wrong /hj
I have zero problems sleeping at night.
@hearty sonnet you served ?
this kind of confirms the gif
Yes
Thank you for your service even as your neighbor country
@cerulean pollen bruh
This dude looks WAY too Canadian
He even kinda looks like the Prime Minister
Lmao
https://images.app.goo.gl/opc9Zo7TDZm5kfwt8 this was a good show
Lmao the people I know from the army are literally either the most solid folk I know or complete wrecks. Rarely an in-between.
great grandma has spent 3 yrs dying and chooses the night i was gonna see dune 2 😡
Either way, hope you made whatever money you could and got out.
100%
That's rough buddy
I get it. After having so many cats, I'm definitely going to stick to ONE next time
I love button and he's sweet but he's expensive as hell. He has allergies and pee problems. His medication costs 165$ for his allergies and then another 55$ for his special food
Honestly that bastard better be thankful I love him. It would be more beneficial to me to get rid of him and use that 230$ a month to start a retirement fund
I am not that mean, but did accidentally do something like that to a new girl....
A drawing will either start with me or come to me for checking. The group it comes from has a particular person I despise and I make it VERY known if I see any work that looks like his, I will treat the work as if he did it.
I was not told a new person had just come onto the team. They were not told how to properly do the work. I marked it up and was so cruel.... I was told she didn't understand what she did to deserve it bc half the things I marked up, she never looked at.
My boss just told her boss, "you should have checked it before sending it over." But, I still feel pretty crappy doing that to her on her first assignment.
Lol you have a cat named Button?
Cuz I have a cat named Button
I have a button that i call Button
That's pretty boss
I do and he's a cow 🐄 cat 🐈
Nice! Mine is an orange lady with freckles
Fr?
Can't have pets... Renting 
time to start strolling through the fan art tab for an Orserk pic.......
I have a ginger cat
Lovely ❤️
Yeah shes not my relative
Oh, I'm renting too, don't worry!
great grandmother-in-law
Ohh
good luck 
A person in another department came over and asked me for my notes pointing out all the items wrong in a document. I was so excited that day that someone was asking me for the notes and not mad at me for them.
funny enought, Bellanoir use a lot of french word in her name (Belle-pretty, noir-black) but they changed the E for a A
shes literally been dying for 3 years
Nah, the rental crisis here is horrible and most landlords will refuse to renew your lease. I had to move like. 3 times last year because of landlord fuckery alone.
I'm not getting my security deposit back, but my landlord also hasn't
-fixed the dishwasher
-fixed the garage door
-have office hours longer than 4 hours (10am-2pm)
-removed the giant pile of dirt covering half the road in front of my house
theyve set up hospice and flown out for her like 12x
so its not much of a shocking event
I think mine is only renewing our lease because they're desperate after all the old folks moved out (they changed their payment method to online only and the older folks only paid in checks/paper)
found one
But, we love our pets and get attached. The money doesn't matter until we remind ourselves of it xD
if she were my relative i wouldve just used a pilow years ago when she was ready because i wouldnt want someone i cared about to keep holding on in pain like that but yknow
It just hurts not having any money I guess
They're cute though
...and they refused any cash method? God, ugh. Here in Australia REAs are starting to make people use an app that adds an extra fee on top for shuffles through papers no reason
the mozzarina cheeseburger straight up looks like a neopets faerie food i swear
This is after they basically steal all your personal information just to apply
Yeah! They sure love their fees, don't they?
I also love how their office hours are uhhh
During times that most human beings are at work!
So if you have a complaint, good fucking luck reaching them!
It's getting to the point where you have to start offering more rent in the application, but they can't ask you to do that directly.
The one benefit of office work tbh
You can check chewy for food and meds too. Sometimes they have deals that make things mpre affordable.
And some vets/pet care stuff accept an insurance plan called.... I forgot the name of it as I was typing
I'll remember it eventually >.>
It can allow a no interest financing onnsome bigger purchases when you just have to
I REMEMBERED! It is called Care Credit.
Dude I understand 9-5 but when they changed it to be 10-2 I knew it was shit
What?????
Deciding to name the Cow Pal after Mozzarella was genius IMO
They didn't like that I could catch them during their 9-5 hours. Those fuckers HATE it when you try to make them
Do their job
Is it legit that there will be sex in palworld or is it just a joke?
My landlord's office
Their office hours used to be 9-5
Now they've changed it to 10-2
Because they don't want people complaining to them
Sorry, they're reas. They're here to ignore you and take a cut of the rent for doing nothing.
It's a joke & not even a funny one
Yeah, absolutely ):
Finally someone speaking the truth lol.
faceplants my desk laughing
I can't remember how to approve anything in this database.
Had one place where I lived, where because they refused to change the washing machine that would constantly flood the house. The carpet became moldy and unsafe. Solution? Rip out the carpet and don't replace it. The floor was just.. bare nothing with nails sticking out.
God I hate that and it sounds awful
Water?? On the nails?? On the floor??
Sounds like a recipe for tetanus
Having lived on the edges of the social hierarchy, and mostly worked with international workers in Melbourne. It's given me a very harsh view of other Australians. Truthfully.
Because this sort of shit is everywhere with Australia
If they can get away with it, generally, they will. Because Australia is a lot more apathetic than people give them credit for.
And then most people will just blame foreigners for the way things are.
couldn't you have just ripped up the tack strips?
Hey! That sounds a lot like
All the English speaking countries I've lived in!
The floor was literally like. Construction plywood with the nails in it. Beneath that would've probably been foundation
so they didn't even properly install the carpet to begin with, lazy bastards
It's absolutely fucked. This might get political, but Australian (and most Australians) absolutely refuse to see that racism towards Chinese people is really a thing. People take the modern American view of racism and apply it to themselves. Then they don't even look at the history of Australia, where literally every political event, from the defining point of a new nation, to the first strike, to fucking anything, had 'oh ya we hate Chinese people' grafted on.
You try to point it out in the modern day as a continuation of a century old pattern and you'll get shrugs.
"I don't think I'm racist so racism doesn't exist anymore"™
If you're white, here's your Australian citizenship.
racism exists i just ignore it until its said around me, then i tell them to stfu
I mean, the racism in Australia is more like...
Take universities. Local students will often refuse to speak or work with international students out of the idea that they're not going to know English or won't do the work. People won't say anything, but foreigners are often just ignored by Australians.
Noooooo I didn't beat the rain
y is this cursed text here
I wish I could eat a carrot right now but too late to go to the store
I've been working in kitchens and as a result, my accent is kinda... Fucked? So a lot of other Australians immediately think I'm foreign too and I'm asked where I'm from all the time lol
Anything can be a carrot if you use your imagination.
I'm either tripping or making a connection
I don't have a lot/any friends irl and I think it's because I'm not "American" enough / from around here
I grew up in Canada and the UK before arriving here in my current state (we'll say southern US)
People will be polite to me/not rude about my existence, but nobody is really interested in actually hanging out, or pursuing a more meaningful relationship (friendship)
In class I'm often shoe-horned into people's group projects because nobody goes out of their way to pick me
I try to be a friend to others, but nobody wants to be a friend to me
My only friend irl is a French woman who moved to the US to be with her husband, and she has a similar experience (except unfortunately she gets the added bonus of racism because she is ethnically from northern Africa and was once Muslim, but is now a practicing Christian. People will assume the worst out of her though even though she's the sweetest person I've met)
technically all thats under my carpet is a thin layer of protection mat and then plywood
You're making a connection chief.
because it's here
if anything else was under the carpet it would have been a previous installation bc i dont know of any carpet that requires an existing floor installation
but generally they should have put down some kind of floor barrier
after ripping the previous one out
I think that a lot of countries born of English expansion still have a lot of the "fuck you got mine" and cliqueish behaviour in them. It's a lot more clear in the cities where people already have their little groups and aren't interested in expanding
most slumlords ive known have rolls of shitty flooring for emergencies
I mount a GoPro inside my car tire together with balance beads to see how the balance beads work while driving.
Balance beads are supposed to automatically balance your tire out, or you can use them in already balanced tires.
It's really interesting to see how the balance beads work from an inside the tire perspective.
This was a hugely requeste...
are they unrelated hto cuz slumlords are generally racist
Yeah it doesn't help that people have the audacity to claim to be a "small town" when we literally live in the middle of a metro, so from my understanding these folks are hanging out with the same 2-5 people they've been friends with since kindergarten
As a military brat it's strange seeing people being so cold / distance to someone who isn't from around here, since growing up in military schools has been like
"oh, so you're new? Where in tarnation did you blow in from?"
Kids were generally excited to meet them/help them settle in
Even my awkward headass had a good friend group
Nah. Slumlords generally just don't give af.
All slumlords are racist, but not all racists are slumlords
It's only bad to be a slumlord in Australia if you're doing it while Asian.
All Wiggles are Australians, but not all Australians are Wiggles.
this is false because australia is not real
the fact theres nails in the floor itself and they didn't use tack strips is a wtf moment
Literally tho!!! I have zero issue making friends with foreigners and shooting the shit at work. But with other Australians they just sorta shrug and go with their own.
Australia is unreal
I also live in north canada where there's legit 0 poisonous animals
Honestly i think if i were to move to Australia the entire southern hemisphere would end
@rapid marsh are these allegations true? 🤔
Nah don't shit on us. You guys have moose, and I never ever want to meet an animal that is bigger than my car.
Our Spiders are small but our Bears are very large
YEAH YOU HAVE BEARS AND MOOSE.
A moose?
Moose do exist
Yeah lol a lot of people don't actually realize how f@#$%ng gigantic a Moose really is
Seeing how a tire works IRL is actually a lot more scary than I ever imagined.
That shit is barely graspingh the edge
It's like if a Deer took the Super Soldier Serum
If they exist why aren't they at the zoo
Them thangs are terrifyingly big
Like people will be scared of kangaroo like they will do anything other than scratch their balls and sleep then go on pretty moose :)
They have rhinos at the zoo but you're saying they can't get a moose
searching australia in my discord has brought me joy
thats a cool looking horse
Is there a moose pal yet? That would go crazy
Moose be looking like cryptids ngl
That actually looks kinda small for a bull moose
Could be a juvenile
Yeah
Still huge tho
Bull Moose be kings of the forest
Facts
They have an ultra sensitive nose tho, remember this if you ever find yourself facing a moose
🪺
i gotta make a series
Do it
Also Bull Moose cannot traverse through thick jungle-like forest, the massive antlers get in the way
?? I’ve literally just woken up
This is all mostly info for me haha
I could drive 30 mins & see a giant Moose right now, but I'm comfortable and I don't wanna do that
australia has to be real because uhhhhhhh
3 yrs of this rofl
Oh right, the “Australia isn’t real” joke 😆
just checkin in to make sure y'all understand that Texas is very real.
Is that the Pope?
Yes actually
The pope isn’t real, just a paid actor.
BLASPHEMY
You know, Google. Just because I turn off safe search doesn't mean I only want porn for my searcxh results ffs
Fallacy 😘

It's almost dinner time for my fuzzy little friends & they're all sitting around me staring at me
this, but fuzzy with eyes
Hahahahahahaha
Did you just do that?
Like create it?
Yes
I appreesh the work & effort 👌
Honestly I feel like the first raid boss thing should’ve been a dragon, seems more fitting but idrc lol
Thanks, took a whopping 20 seconds lol
I kinda felt like that too lmao, but I'm gonna let them do their thing, it better be a savage tho
In a world where nobody really gets anything for free, I'll take it
me waiting for my igloo picture
That's also 20 seconds of thought
Fr
Lmao I literally live in one of these
Hi
Or so the stereotypes go
Hru Shelly? Is it okay if I call you that?
Yeah haha I've accepted that as one of my names a while ago
I miss the Depresso with a knife pfp
I like the current one tho hehe
You don't have to for me.
Even tho I knew you likely would when I brought it up
😊
It's the best haha
People know me too well
Okay I gotta feeeeeeeeed the horde & then walk the dog
Bye Shelly
@proven crown posted the same video in all the channels. ban him

Omg thanks
That's a straight up scam & I somehow missed it
Washer and dryer successfully relocated
I am now home and ready to enjoy the weekend
How is everyone doing this evening?
stop hitting the surrounding trees and get some real work done 
No :)
Hi
thats no igloo , thats a rocket silo
wanna finish out the last 2 hours of my shift?
all you have to do is argue with people and give them information, then argue with them about what that information says because they wont believe you
Similar to my job
Going to my home, as I have a singing lesson
Or just use foxsparks
Are these the people who think it’s fine to doof bleach.
im in
Singing lesson? Nice! Learning how to sing?
TOGETAAAAAAH
Yes, almost 5 years
But not Professional, just better talking
Very cool! Nice little hobby to have. I used to play drums
Me too buddy . But covid ruined everything
I got an electronic drum set that I haven't opened yet. Probably will once I get fully settled or into a new house
Okay I am here
Good evening. I am also here
Got back not too long ago from helping a coworker move a washer and dryer into his house
Oh look at that, that’s a lovely thing to do
My Chinese takeout is back open, evening is pretty good
Since Wiggles didn't care to acknowledge my work, this is for you https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1187047787196588113/1218324360473874522/image.png?ex=66073ffa&is=65f4cafa&hm=67c8b1210638c1d4d8f601413cea07ab53d7ebd4e9a275a8ba9153763da4fe45&=&format=webp&quality=lossless
Chinese sounds good
Refused payment. Sometimes mfs just need help, you know?
No way!!!!!
That’s amazing!
Look at that. That looks so peaceful!
don't patronize me its shit lol
i am waiting for my artist sample yeesh
That’s very true and it’s wonderful there’s so much humanity left
I’m not I think it’s beautiful
I thought the igloo was cute
Makes sense to help people if you can
That’s very true and I do believe in karma
Oh Egg, did I ever show you my pixel art?
Do good you’ll get good
Not sure if I have
You most certainly did not and now I demand it
https://i.imgur.com/z5Mn1m9.png here, i give u .005 seconds
THATS AMAZING
Might redo the lights on the ambo to make them more 3d
I love that so much
The firetruck that idk how I want to do the lights on https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1187047787196588113/1218328103076626442/image.png?ex=66074377&is=65f4ce77&hm=1292f2110ee3826c77633691dde192672a6c58d6fd2ab343a196bcbb74476411&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

Eggs for dinner
🥚

This time with runny yolks because I messed them up yesterday and was mad about it
That’s amazing Hooker!
Yum o.o
What are y'all eating for dinner?
burgers
Chinese takeout
🥢
Whatcha get in terms of chinese food? It do be hittin sometimes
Boneless spare ribs with fried rice.
Crab rangoons.
Fried scallops.
(I do plan to eat on this a couple times xD)
That is mine.
Large egg drop soup and General's Tso Chicken for partner.
This place has really good food and doesn't break the bank.
Ah, that's cool! Always nice to get some good chinese food that doesn't decimate the money factor
I am in the middle of wrapping birthday presents
.
If you go a little down the road from here, that Chinese place isn't as great, but what I ordered above would cost 3x as much xD
No idea why they are so much more expensive
No you can't eat her, shes too sweet!
mm chinese places are hit and miss
one chinese place where i used to live priced themselves out of business for the area and a REALLY nice authentic italian restraunt took its place
🤌
and that restraunt gets more traffic than every store next to it, except for walmart
oh nice. ya pink now
fuchsia
I already ate the eggs bro
It too late, mans was hungry
You could have saved her
Anyway I'm finished wrapping birthday presents
Time to get two people on my friends list Palworld now that it is on sale
its on sale again?
ill be damned its 10% off again 😂
It do be on sale
im actually surprised its on sale again so soon
THE presents I wrapped for birthdays
It might be because of the new content
that looks so well wrapped.. i kinda want bite it
Just a theory
A GAAAME-

Bite it? 😂

yes 
I can't wrap at all
I hope you like pAper
brap
oh man, you should have seen the door when my dog bit through it.

ohno
He did what?
what the dog doin
that too
Why do dogs be doin this man
That's true.
I've learned to run the energy out of my dog to prevent that lol can't tear stuff if he's to tired and plus I spend time with him in the process
One thing preventing me from owning a dog right now is apartment
I want a house for sure before I put money into a new pet
Most of my dogs never tore into things but my current one has definitely done that
And I wanna fuckin birb but I couldn't properly take care of em because I am gone too much out of the day
So before 30-40 mins before I leave. I make sure he is tired lol so he sleeps instead of tearing into things
A cat is good they don't need to much attention it's not a dog but it's something
I kinda hope Twitch fails
Wish I wasn't allergic to cats
Just food water a box and maybe a toy
Maybe I'll have a situation like my family has where they got like 3 cats that just kinda showed up
Oh I see
Maybe I'll post pictures of em
Well that sucks
It do
But cats are pretty low maintenance animals
Birds are higher maintenance, and dogs are probably middle tier
I would love to have a aquarium again
I would put a lot of effort into making sure the fish are comfortable and their water is cleaned regularly and all that
Good filters
Salt or fresh is the hard question
Not the bright colored gravel and that kinda stuff
Depends on the fish. You want the water best suited to what their natural environment would be
Fish commonly found in the ocean? Saltwater. Fish commonly found in lakes/rivers/streams/etc? Freshwater
That would be pretty cool
Salt is beautiful but a lot of work
Follow on TikTok @officialBLR
Follow on Instagram @badlipreading
Follow on Twitter @badlipreading
It is. Saltwater critters are higher maintenance than freshwater
Birds just require a lot of free time and flying time
If I was to do salt I would invest into one of those self sustaining salt tanks
What about still water?
With live reefs and stuff
There you go - that would be pretty cool
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs!!
But I think I would like to have a native fresh water tank
Still or moving water has little to do with salinity
I think depending on where you are in the US, it would be easier to do either or.
I move my water until it's saline
For example I've noticed that seafood is a lot cheaper closer to the coast than it is in the midwest like where I live
You pull my chain and watch my blood begin to boil!
I pull your balls and watch you inflate like a balloon
Well I mean I could catch my own bass and bluegill lol
(I fckn love pufferfish)
Yeah that's pretty easy. You could do that, learn what certain diseases and parasites look like and the symptoms and whatnot before putting them in a tank
Catfish too, bottom feeders
Maybe one of these mfs
Plus I mean when they get to big they are not invasive so I could release them where ever they are native
Bass and bluegill are native to most regions in north america. You could always find out from your local DNR
Not what I meant
True
NOOOOOOO

Watch them pufferfish bruh, some blow up 😆
A very common videogame trope
Moving water suits them best.
Mmm, dunno about trout in a freshwater tank. You'd need to keep the moving water for them
Still water makes them sad.
And they need a lot of space and friends iirc
Hmm yeah your right
So how do these things work do you just plug them into your computer
Yes
Is 32gb. 2x16gb. I think you should consider 32gb. Because games and apps are more demanding
Hope this little guy didn't suck up too much air, they normally are only meant to fill up with water, they can get pretty messed up if they suck in all air when they puff up
I don’t at all understand how computers work lmao
I already have 32GB, this would boost me to 48gig
I do, you wanna lesson?
So you do not need.
Looks like he sucked up plenty of water
what game?
Cities Skylines.
Can you turn any pc into a crazy beast or does it have to be a specific kind of pc
Good.
Like what happens if I plugged those into my HB laptop
You just gotta make sure the parts are compatible
To some degree, any.
Even if he didn't, it's fine
All you gotta do is give them a little squeeze to help them get rid of the air a little, and then they can get rid of the rest themselves
A pc from 1992 ain't gonna be accepting of any modern parts
One of these days I’m gonna need to build a pc
A PC is a PC. A powerful PC uses the same type of parts as a not-powerful PC, just, more powerful parts.
Well ya still gotta worry about compatibility, but ye
Well obviously
Also true. Lil guys do be squishy
You don't need to
Just buy a pre build
Pre built and hand built PCs are the exact same
Just that pre builts just cost a little more, because your paying for a service(someone building it for you)
I think I've only ever caught one puffer
That is 100% false.
Where do you buy prebuilt pcs
Pc building is awesome! But as person said you can also get a nice pre built too! If for a bit of a price jump due to labor fees and all dat
Like that is so much false is hurts to think you said it
Hmm, are you wanting to learn?
There are companies you can buy from. Stay away from Amazon or Walmart
Anywhere that sells computers
Alienware is one of the "big main ones", razer has some as well
Alienware costs the most, but they actually let you customize the PC specs and stuff
Walmart.
Nah jk, there's tons of boutique companies all over the place. Digital storm, main gear, star forge...
I wouldn’t mind learning some stuff
Actually out of curiosity, can a steam deck be upgraded
A Person has no idea what they are talking about, please disregard what they say.
As far as I know, no
Very limited options, basically you can upgrade storage and that's it
Alienware stopped being important like 10 years ago lul
Not that I'm aware of. I don't know of any steam deck upgrades off the top of my head
Dang :((
And battery, of course
The fact you said that, means you have no education on PCs
Because everything I've said is factual
Yes,
There are several upgrades for the Steam Deck
Steamdeck owner, yeah, you can upgrade it. Not in the way you could with a PC ofc
The steam deck still plays palworld fine aside from the memory leak issue at least
Nothing groundbreaking but it can be upgraded
What in the fuck. Alienware hasn't been relevant since 1992
I would love to make it more powerful if I could
Palworld is still the only game I play that isn’t an emulated old game or a fangame
I've been big on Pokemon infinite fusion myself
I think the most too cna do performance wise is give it some better cooling and overclock, but I think hooker probably knows better
Total headache to get working on it tho
I only have a One Xplayer. It's from shenzhen
A few things, you have some options.
-
pcpartspicker is a website that has PC building guides and basically allows you to build your own, and will recommend parts that will go with what you're getting. I used it when I built my current PC.
-
Microcenter is also a pretty neat place and they have professionals that will help you there too. Careful there though

Stay away from Alienware and razer products lmfao. Not worth the money for whatcha get
I hate to admit I basically bought a $700 computer for Emulating pokemon games. (Steam Deck)
ok i'm back from getting my horrible passport photo taken
what're y'all up to tonight?
A use case is a use case
You right you right
Me too!! I’m just glad that I was able to play palworld on it at all
They're having the PC building argument again
is it good for emulating the old stuff?
I don't only play Pokemon games on it, but they are a large part of it lol
I mean, palworld is not optimised for steamdeck rn. The crashing is a headache
Its amazing for it
Steam deck is pretty powerful! Don't doubt it's power, with some tinkering like 80% of games will run
Steamdecks are fantastic for emulation.
Emulation and playing fan games on the go is the only reason I bought the steam deck
There's no argument
They just have a bias for "self built computers"
Even though pre builts are the exact same
i cant be arsed to sit at a computer to play pokemon and though I have all the old consoles and games, it is a luxury to have a nicer screen for it haha
I don’t have my own gaming pc or anything, I have my laptop I use to animate for my game
Self built is better in the same way that baking your own bread is better.
honestly i think i like my computer more because i built it. it forms a slight attachment
Like yeah. It's better and cheaper, but not everyone is going to put the effort in
Pre builts are good, we agree there, just you bought up alienware when that brand hasn't been relevant since Dell bought it out, lmao.
Thats literally an objectively false statement
🍿 oh boy drama
Truuue, what lappy is it? You might be able to upgrade it a bit
This is a measurable thing, actually. They had people build ikea shit vs get it pre-made and the people who built it valued it higher.
Again, factually incorrect
The ONLY difference is the price, because with pre builts, your paying for the service of someone building the PC for you
You can get the exact same specs from a "self built" in a "pre built"
It’s like,,, an HP lmao
It’s not a total piece of crap or anything
Could you chill out dude
I don't pop in often but when I do, there's always something on fire 😂
LITERALLY NOT TRUE IN THE SLIGHTEST
Depending on the year, you might be able to upgrade it yeah
It’s only a couple years old I’m pretty sure
I had it before the pandemic
God people who lie about prebuilts are beyond maddening
Spoiler alert - You can get both Pre-built, Custom built, and self built PC's and end up with lemons because of faulty parts
They are NOT identical.
It is
You just have a bias towards self built
It was a hand me down from my brother who got gifted a way better pc, always nice to save money when I can
Hmmm, if you want I can hop in a VC, we can figure out the model it is and see what options ya have, you might have a sleeper on your hands!
A lot of my tech is hand me down stuff so I didn’t have to buy it myself
They use proprietary parts that cannot be upgraded down the road, are often some weird shit that are weaker than their normal counterparts, and are often very poorly made.
Stop fucking lying
I'm currently saving money to get a new pc, mostly for map making and ttrpg nonsense.
Like its not bias or my opion, its literal facts
I tried back in 2020 but shitcoins made gpus impossible to get
No? I'm gonna keep it real with you - I promise you I couldn't find a prebuilt that has the same specs my current build does.
If you're a guy who likes prebuilts, sure, I won't drag you for your preferences, man.
But I built my PC for the purpose of upgrading it and changing out parts as I feel like. My prebuilt that I got lasted a good while but I could not upgrade it the way I will be able to upgrade this one, you feel me? Everything in a prebuilt is pretty fixed...
My guy, the "parts" they use for pre builts
Are the exact same as self built
The only time this isn't true, is if you go to some 3rd party website, ran by Chinese
Ohhhhh, I see the issue. We're not talking about dells or HPs, we're talking about boutique builds, like digital storm, cyberpower, main gear, etc
Self Built is quite satisfying to be sure, and I prefer that generally, but my latest was a custom build as I just don't have the time to fuck around with it all, they did all the burn in testing, hardware checks and stuff for me, I chose the internal parts.
Where does that put me?
Any
Digital Storm makes solid rigs
I do not consider them prebuilts
Also Alienware and razer - no
Pre-built is likely better just on the merits of having that understanding and control of the deeper elements.
They are being built for you
If you're talking about Dell or HP prebuilds then yeah they're a junk pain in the arse
Ahhh, I thunk we're messing up terms here then
Fuck their propriatary PSU layout bullshit
There was that new laptop company (i think Omen?) that builds laptops for you now with the specs you're looking for.
They are literally not.
You could also get the parts individually and then just hire someone to make it for you
Yeah, Linus tech tips calls those "boutique builds" where they take off the shelf parts and put it together for you
You have not a fucking clue what you're talking about.
Stop spreading misinformation
"pre built" means a computer built by someone else/a company
Do you not know what a pre build is????
You clearly don't.
That's probably my option, because I do not have the time to put a PC together
Untrue, Dell and HP motherboards and powersupplies are Hella propertitery, good luck doing a meaningful upgrade to an optiplex
Genuine reaction
Also can y'all fight about something funnier at least
Prebuilt is defined as some garbage crap you buy on Amazon.
That is more than fine with enough spunl and hautzpah, anything is possible!
Or Walmart, Bestbuy, etc.
Again, it's not an argument
They are trying to argue facts with opinions
Just because they use some shitty 3rd party website, doesn't mean all pre builts are bad
Dogital Storm, ibuypower, etc, are not prebuilts.
i love works policy when someone tries to be a karen "if they ask for a supervisor to complain get their information and tell them they'll get back in 1-2 days"
then no matter what antics they try like hold stalling to get one i can just repeat that over and over.
Who's they? Man I'm just clarifying here is ally
Bro for the love of god at LEAST be funny. You're just annoying as it stands rn.
I've been building computers for over 20 years lmfao
You can put other components into a Dell/HP (Assuming they for the case's form factor) but you run into compatability issues with "Core" components being unable to be replaced by off the shelf stuff
Oh it's not an argument I love to argue on the specific meaning of words instead of the actual information being communicated
Yeah
Mods come in and silence this so we can have better convos
Everyone stand together and pray
People rn
Congratulations, your some random on the Internet, that has no impact on my life at all, that thinks I'm annoying
Whoopty doo
Bro you can't be terminally online and terminally unfunny at the same time
Yes you can, they're called Reddit Mods
I was gonna say twitter
This gave me an ugly laugh
And on the topic of boutique builders, such as ibuypower, Digital Storm, Xidax , Build Redux, they are not 'prebuilts' as they build them for you, when you order them.
"terminally online" says the one thats been on discord since 2016 😉
imma be real most of the time when i see you, you're arguing with someone, i cant tell if you're a troll or you just like making people mad
Yeah I made an account to hang with my friends
Try harder chief. At least I'm funny
I've had a person blocked since I joined, I don't even remember why I blocked them
Hey, I've been on Steam longer than many people in this channel have been alive, let's not go crazy now
Glad I peeked tho, since they are spreading misinformation lmao
@sleek flume @grand falcon guys let's calm down and clarify ourselves here. I think what person is talking about is stuff like digitalstorm and main gear when they say "pre-built". What they are meaning to say is what we would call boutique builds. When me and Hooker say prebuilt, we mean crappy office pcs that are only good at Excel and like... Uhhh... Cisco apps
That's factually incorrect
It's just, some people here, are way to sensitive, and get upset, when their opinion isn't the same as someone else's
ibuypower absolutely is🤣
Ehh yes and no
Polyester is a good fabric and you shouldn't hate it
I've never even heard ibuypower tbh
please read my message you two, thanks
They have prebuilts, but you can still order them to be built.
Nah it's way funnier if they continue
even now, stating what ive seen is incorrect is argumentative.
im just trying to understand what your deal is man
The only time I hate polyester is when I know I'm getting ready to do welding
Then you definitely don't want polyester on your body, or you at least want to be protected
Oooh I'm fast fashion. You loooove acrylic and polyester. They're totally breathable and not the equivalent of wearing plastic bags.
like i never see you joking around and just shooting the shit with people
Looking at ibuy's site, they look like a lower quality build company
Might wanna read up on what's going on then
Because that's exactly what's happening
Someone prefers self built, while someone else prefers pre built
And that "someone" that likes self built, is getting upset, that I can get the exact same specs, without having to go through torture trying to put it together
My man is just terminally unfunny. Pour one out, hope you recover bro 😔
But I digress, my blood pressure doesn't need this
Polyester is great! But it also doesn't handle welding sparks very well. 😂
That is literally not my argument at all
I'm too lazy to build myself but "torture?" It's click and go for the most part
ive legit bought a prebuild from them it died in 5 months
This is a statement of war and frankly I would prefer to be called slurs than hear praise for that awful awful fibre.
I mean he did say Alienware is a 'top prebuilt seller'
apparently its receipt hunt time
That's literally not what I said AT ALL thank you for proving that people that live on discord can't read
neither, i think you're misunderstanding us, @grand falcon
Great for the money, not great for the quality. Do like me cotton and denim tho
To be fair you've not really got amazing choice when it comes to hardware sellers these days
I spin all my own fibres, and need to set my loom up too. Doing my research has given me a growing hatred of synthetic fibres (aside from bionylon, the science behind that is fascinating)
'big main ones' vs 'top' is extremely padantic
well, to be fair they didn't say they were good or the "top" just that they were one of the bigger ones...
which is still false because ain't no one talk about alienwares anymore, lmao, but i digress, not the point\
Show me where I said "the best"
Because clearly it said "the biggest" aka "one of the most known" aka "mainline" aka "one of the biggest companies"
Aka "you can't read to save your life"
pandantic as fuck
I feel bad for @icy yoke wanting a simple answer to their question 😂
listen man, that cut you get sometimes building a pc is part of the experience, i shredded part of my finger one day on a graphic card in a tight case
it hurt and it sucked, but i had fun.
that said, i will buy a prebuilt to save time if i know i won't have time for a week or more to put it together when the parts arrive
Let's remember to keep this apparent thunderdome civil
My man, when you communicate, people will catch on the implications rather than the exact words.
yeah that's being a little technical, a person
You do fiber spinning? That's cool! I think I read somewhere that they were trying to make fibers out of spider silk
That's called not having the reading skills of a 5 year old
my laptop is an intel core i7 10th gen with uhhhh intel Iris Plus Graphics (according to the stickers)
anyways, @icy yoke yeah we can check out to see if upgrading your laptop or steam deck is an option
Mostly merino. But I've done alpaca, silk, angora, and linen.
You are always bitching about something I swear
someone made guitar strings out of spider silk, it honestly didn't sound half bad, but apparently it sucked to play on
ohhh, im not a fan of intel but those are some nice specs, honestly!
ahem ibuypower are prebuilds here is my citation carry on arguing https://i.imgur.com/CXFmIz3.jpeg
And that's the thing
PC building and PC gaming, are 2 different hobbies
Remember, Prebuilt, home made, stolen from a scrapyard, we can all agree on one thing - At least it's not a Mac, right?
all these pink names i may have to join in
It's the blue/green names that is the true badge
Depends. Are we talking hardware or the Apple part?
if only was purple..
Yeah because spider silk fibers are thin and kinda suck to try to weave into a thicker string. I don't know if there is a proper way to spin them into a sturdy string. Guitar strings are typically made of metal
Er, wrong replyy.
pedantic or we involved pandas now?
Oh yes, me correcting you, on your lies
Is me "bitching"
Gotta love gen z 🤣
Mother fucker I'm 31 years old
i was gonna say huh lmao
i see it as 2 sides of the same coin, especially since consoles are starting to be more upgradeable than just the HDD
Man do you like. Have friends.
In this server, or anywhere ?
And you corrected nothing.
Which series?
Cause I'm a hater but you're a constant bummer.
still very minor parts though
anyways,
neft pretty much echoes my opinion salut
Imma reblock him and move on
Oh, y'know. Limited edition season 69 from the AI continuation.
Yes and no
All "hand builders" like PC gaming
However, not all PC "gamers" like PC building
I don't know if you saw my response earlier with suggestions if you wanted to get into PC building
Love that gamers is in quotes here. Like they're not real gamers.or something
I corrected you on your reading skills
Because never once did I say "Alienware is the best sellers"
yes, you're one of the people i could actually be friends with
the serious responses kinda got buried in the pointless arguing OTL
No, it's just the word "gamer" in general, is stupid
"gamers" will say that they scoff enjoy videogames? Heh...
also i went to the toilet so i may have missed something
Blah, I'll scroll up and find it real quick brotha
what, when did generations come into this?
Actually I'll dm it to ya
ya missed just a shitstorm. dont worry about it
Mods PLEASE end this
The fact that he's crying because someone has a different opinion then him
Shows he's pretty young
Oh my goddd get a hobby
Mods are likely just chilling and laughing
"Oh gods, the tyre fire's at it again"

@icy yoke To answer your original question. prebuilts are (almost always) defined as crappy pcs bought on Amazon, Walmart, Bestbuy, and other retailers. They are usually pretty bad in manyy ways, including parts, part quality, build quality, and upgrade ability. Its not to say you have to build one yourself, as there are many companies that their whole thing is building custom PCs. Some at very little mark-up, such as Build Redux, that only charges a $75 build fee. (tho they do force Windows on you, so thats $100 extra)
Bucky was right. He should've deleted this channel
"look at them biting the bait again"
i will settle this the way i settle things normally
???? Hooker is like 30 tho... i mean im in my mid 20s, so i think i am considered gen z. but idk, i feel like this is getting outta scope
A really big fart?
lets help boots get da big PC™️
Penis blast mysterious penis blast delirious?
i have indeed only really heard bad things about prebuilt pcs so this checks out
im not like, in a huge rush to get a good PC, it was just on my mind at the moment
yeah, what hookyeah what hooker said, what you want is a botique build. most even have financing options if that's up to your speed
yall can just idk, change the subject lmfao
I agree with the anime pfp
I already shot B00ts a DM with my suggestions to start looking into. I don't know what kind of stuff y'all are on now 😂
yeeee! these things take time and such, but it's never 2 early for reasearch and stuff
I highly doubt that, considering how sensitive he is
And the fact he doesn't know the difference between a pre build and a self build, is astonishing
New here, right?
ya get used to it 
My advice is look at what games you are wanting to play, the recommended specs, and aim for maybe something a few years futureproof
Too much energy
Holy shit dude move on
Thank you
? we've been calmed down... we're just helping boots with what PC to look for
not the ones actually helping, the ones that keep tossing in their two cents of "THIS IS WHY U MAD"
Dedicated Minecraft machine.
i got my daughter a prebuilt 2 wks ago if u want a link
ahhh, yeah i get what you mean
i want da best palworld experience (at the moment, plus a bunch of old emulated games)
im chillin man, sippin tea watching this shit unfold
Hey I'm a full time hater. I can't change my nature. But at least I'm trying to be funny
full time hater, part time wanderer
Shush, stop trying to involve yourself in something that doesn't concern you
The world doesn't revolve around you
you said that with your whole chest
I Personally used Scan.co.uk and made some changes to one of the 3XS builds they do, as I couldn't be bothered with picking the parts myself.
true, i feel like you can find a very nicely priced PC with those requirements
I sure did
and youre proud of that lmao, ok
lets just move on
The irony there is the emulated games is your biggest bottleneck when it comes to "Modern" hardware
My current PC can run Palworld at the higher settings with minimal issues. I think I spent around $1200 for the parts to put it together (I waited for black friday and cyber monday)
Oh yeah? Then why am I gods favourite princess and the most interesting girl in the world?
take it to dms jfc
hmmmm whatta mean? even ps3 emulation can be done with some cheap hardware
that doesnt sound so bad, i can afford a PC like that if i save up a few weeks
Come to my dms we can hate one on one ❤️
Hating (with tongue)
hott
Yeah, obviously my suggestions have been DMed to you already. PCpartspicker lists several retailers that will carry a dedicated part that would work with your build; you could always compare/contrast pricing
All depends on many things. If you're comfortable buying open box, you can save money. Even more if you buy used.
PS3 games are extremely outdated
You can pretty much run them on anything at this point
I still am of the opinion of seeing what you can squeeze outta your lappy and steam deck, im sure there are some ezpz tweaks you can pull to get them up to your wanted performance
It's more the OS and backwards compatibility that's the possible problem, most modern software emulators are fine, but if you're trying to run Red Alert in Windows 11 without Dosbox then yeah, headaches
I also love micro center for various reasons
What if we kissed in the palworld off topic chat while people argued about PC building?
but pastel-chan. I'm shy uwu
I'm poly and dating everyone here
Is that why I'm pregnant?
ahhhh, well that's just modern hard/software in general, thankfully most old games have patches and fixed by modders and stuff that help em run on modern PCs
tho, i think boots was more so talking abotu emulated games
did you not get your cootie shot? thats how you get pregnant dawg
It's me. The boy impregnator.
Wiggles said it wasn't hers, so that only leaves you or Shell
📸
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't feel bad
Got any idea how to get fable 3 to run?
Got it on steam.....but because things got shut down, shit don't work
So back to my original question before world war 3 started.
I want the ram, but can I justify it for one game. I need votes dammit.
I have it coming.
Are we calm now? Cool? Chilled like ice?
More ram is always good, and tends to open up more options. even if rn you just.want it for one game
exactly
stack ram
better have a lot free than not having enough
My rule of thumb is 3 times over. Think of it for 3 days, and if you can buy it 3 times over, then do it
Yeah but 48GB is like... never gonna be used lmao
more ram good, a new game might get released that you want all that ram for
I don't think you could ever go wrong with more RAM. Worst thing that could happen I think is you are out a few dollaronies
True
Ram is cheap. Get the ram
or just have multiple games downloaded like a true steam addict
Idk get into making maps on dungeondraft
get the ram 👁️
Just RAM it in there
vote is rammin
If anything, RAM will put less stress on PC and whatnot
Every time I see ram I think of the truck
I mean, $85 isn't exactly the cheapest, but you aint entirely wrong.
Uwah~
Very true lol
I need a new graphics card. Now THAT hurts
Ram me s-senpai~

All it means is there's more memory for Chrome and Discord to eat up
thousand smacks for my current card. It hurted.
Stop expecting me to feel shame. I never have and I never will.
Chrome? Noooooo thank you. I haven't used Chrome in like 4 years
if i said some of this shit id be banned js🤣🤣
Imagine using Chrome in 2024
This post made by Firefox gang
I am currently on Firefox
And I'm kissing you with tongue for it
It sounds like it's not shame you want to feel 😅
Remember to keep it PGish
But did Vivaldi before FF, and did Opera GX before that, and did Opera before that, and did.. something else idr before that.
I want to be covered in blood and holding the knife is what I want to feel
Firefox is still a thing??? 😂 And oi, I use chrome. What are we supposed to be using these days??? 😂😂
Otherwise the Mods will get antsy
But "morality" and "laws" get in my way.
Firefox is good now.
Firefox is better than ever
Foxspark?
what "gamers" use? Opera?! 
chill theres minors dude
Wtf is opera 😂
I just liked Opera GX for the aesthetics.
Firefox seems to keep going through cycles of "Yay" and then "I'm crap"
Opera GX
I couldn't have cared less for the 'gaming' features.
It's another browser
Bro.... There was a wrong answer and you chose it.
Naww 💀
Dunno, they could have said Edge
Apple user in chat
Edge is.. okay.
Read my mind
... Nah too easy
bro you can also set how much ram opera uses
🧐
Idk. I mean...chrome opens websites. That's the goal isn't it 😂
i mean... 
Would I personally use edge? Not when thers so many other options.
chrome eats ram
I have standards. They're low, but they're there.
But its not.. terrible.
That's what my partner keeps telling me but I'm too lazy to move off chrome
I have muchos ram
for some ungodly reason
k mods ive legit not complained about anyone this pastel person needs to be aware of minors cuz if im the one saying shit u know its too far 👋
Solid recommendation "Didn't blow up or give me herpies, so I guess it's alright"
All my things are set up with google
They've got me grasped by the balls
Basically
STOP MAKING IT TOO EASY
Yeah I'm a creature of habit
Yeah this chat needs to settle it down a little bit
All my shit on chrome
myself ive blocked them but kids exist here
I just had to read a lot of shite
I'm too old to remember all my passwords
Did I make it worse?
Oh no it's the fuzz
oh hi Shell 
Scatter, fellas!
Mi dispiace signore 🙏
I got a little heated, I do apologize.
YES.
goes back to chicken tendies
I ain't never using opera, that shit is sketchy as hell
DEATH TAKES ME!!!!!
I'm listening 🧘
And hell no, your chat history is tame
Hooray 🎉
oh god
What about me? I hope I didn't contribute to the fuss
please dont read my chat history i dont wanna know what ive said
You heard the man. Try harder to make the chat worse next time.
Uh oh, someone's looking at the logs
That's not why I'm here 
I read it all... smh.
I only check if I have to, or in this case, I was kinda curious
That’s too late, I’ve seen most of it already.
im js im outta pocket af but i still behave here🤣
Curiosity killed the knight
I'm not sure exactly what your PFP is but I love the cat's big hat because it almost looks like he's a lil YEEHAW fella
You can show me the receipts but I'll just stand by what I say regardless
Receipts only work against the weak who won't stand by their insane takes
Oh? He's my mouse character dressed up as Peppino Spaghetti
The unprincipled.
can i ping ya next time?
maybe it would have cuted the shitstorme in half at least
i knew that was a chef's hat!
shitstromming
I missed something
Or those who prefer digging themselves deeper into the hole 😆
Yeah, I always have my phone on me & the mobile app open
That sounds adorable
You don't see mice a whole lot when it comes to species
I think letting this burn itself out was the better option
What can I say, the fifo work pays well.
Oh I remember that game now
i don't like pinging people bc notifications get annoying fast
I have a giraffe character :3
I knooowww... criminally underrated creatures. Always been fascinated by mice because of how hardy and persistent they are
Hmm. Alright. The last counterpoint I'd like ot make about buying this ram. Its DDR4. My PC is as best as it can be on DDR4 platform. Literally anymore performance would be a new DDR5 motherboard.
yeee
I don't mind people DMing me, I block the annoying ones pretty fast so I don't mind
Is that your PFP 🥺
Little giraffe horns(?)
I'm not sure of the proper term for the anatomy
Last time I pinged the mods I got a 5 min timeout, even though the person I pinged about got action taken against them 😅
yeee
naaaah. i saw happening before. it dont stop for a good while unless a mod step in. and its for any reason.
Could I DM you pictures of bread I made.
wonders if im blocked
Is it worth it to spend $85 for one game, when I technically can't upgrade it anymore..
Or pinging me, I can't always see the issues on this server
@rapid marsh btw
What's that male only gym you found? I wanna see if there's one in my area
hi
Hi there
Hello
I DM'd a few people earlier of a video of me shit-talking some Geese so yeah sure
A chikipi!
Why not post here, or is it Knead to know basis?
Absolutely! I remember it was a book series as a kid that got me to like them so much. I can't remember what it's called but I remember the characters/story
Essentially a mouse named poppy had her boyfriend eaten by an owl that bullies her family so she goes on an epic quest to slay it
Pics are disabled in this chat :(
Did you ever DM Wiggles the picture I DMd you, Shell?
I’ll inbox it.
I did not haha
Smh
Praise the gods lol
I think it was literally just called Poppy
I want my first DM with Wiggle to be a grand occasion, like us kicking off our fake blood business or something
Ugh lame
Fake?
maybe i can DM you!
Imgur > Upload > Private Gallery > Share link
ill have to think of the most perfect ice breaker
well as far as he knows
Feet scamming 😆
Effort
For Discord and legal purposes this is fake blood
In other words, I've been looking at art programs to try out because I would like to draw my character again, as he is in canon
You might be right because I think there was another one called Ragweed about the brother of the eaten boyfriend
That was her boyfriend's name, yes. Ragweed
I haven't read this books since I was in elementary school 🤣
Are you looking for a free program or just a cheaper one?
