I canā€™t wait to see the check McDonaldā€™s sends me. Eat to earn.

Zork NFTs when?

Oh shit, my name got drawn for the Newegg Shuffle:

GIGABYTE GV-N3060GAMING OC-12GD (rev. 2.0) Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Video Card
GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS ELITE ATX Intel Motherboard

$706

I have 49 minutes to pull the trigger. Might clench my sphincter and do it.

Itā€˜s a good price and will be hard to get better value for the foreseeable future.

Yeah. Of course, Iā€™ll still need a CPU and RAM. Can repurpose my hard drives (maybe buy a new SSD for the boot drive) and if I want to, my case. Might buy a cool case for kicks.

I was waiting to see if the new 3050s are available when they drop at the end of the month (got on a mailing list), but they probably wonā€™t be. $250 is pretty nice and Iā€™m sure it would be fine for my needs. But Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll be snatched up and then priced at like $650.

I didnā€™t even realize my name had come up, as I hadnā€™t checked my e-mail. I just happened to go buy tax software at Newegg and all of a sudden the GPU and motherboard were in my cart.

Whatā€˜s your budget for a CPU? AMD or Intel?

Well, the motherboard says Intel, so I guess Intel. Iā€™m not going high end. I donā€™t know a lot about them since itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve built a PC, but from what I can tell, maybe an i5 will do the trick. $200 range, I donā€™t know.

Make sure you have the correct socket.

Thanks for the reminder. Fortunately, I have a Microcenter nearby, so it makes for quick and easy purchases and returns. Iā€™ll likely get the rest of the stuff from there unless thereā€™s an awesome deal somewhere else.

EDIT: Looks like itā€™s LGA 1200 socket. Also looks like it doesnā€™t have built-in wifi, which is disappointing. I have a PCI card I use, but it would be nice not to need it. Other than that, looks like WAY more than I need.

From another article:

Microsoft announced plans on Tuesday morning to purchase gaming mega-publisher Activision Blizzard for a record-setting $68.7 billion

Iā€™m not the least bit surprised they settled on ~$69 billionā€¦

I get that innovation is hard but that is a curious combination.

Sounds incelish

If you gave me just those keywords I would have thought this.
