Honestly I don't even want to talk about it. I feel sick/angry just thinking about it.
Between this news and Switch you must be about ready to explode from the over servicing.
but then you remember Pats won and that Trump is president

He said Pootie Tang was a bad movie?
Firing the GM 2 days before the trade deadline is the sign of a team on the rise.
The draft was supposed to be what you think the team would do, not what you would do. Mech picked Khalil Mack instead of Clowney.
i swear i almost sined his pitty on the runny kine when he said that

Panthers release Mike Tolbert.
End of an era but it's time. The Panthers are most likely moving away from sets with blocking FBs and he's cooked as a ball carrier.

(I tried to find one in "RBHvision of a dude filming the tv with a camera but alas)
So I built my PC way back in 2011.
Here's what I mostly have and what I've spent since then:
ASUS P8Z68-V LGA 1155 Z68 Mobo - $169.99
Intel i5 2500k - $219.99
G.SKILL Ripjaws 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM $59.98
Windows 7 OEM - $99.99
NZXT Phantom - $124.99
Antec BP550 PSU - $69.99
Hitachi Desktar 750GB - $69.99 (bought this during the flood that ruined HDD production - since replaced with SSDs)
Samsung DVD burner - $15.99
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Cooler - $25.99
ASUS VE247H Monitor - $189.99
Radeon 6970 ~ $275 (can't find this receipt anywhere)
Logitech K740 ~$60 (no clue when or where I bought this but it's what I used)
Logitech G5 - $50 (also no clue when or where I bought this)
So that's what I had in late December 2011 when I first built my current PC. All told it was about - $1450 or so. Some of the things like the monitor and the keyboard and mouse I already owned but for illustration's sake, let's say that I bought it all at once.
Then I have since purchased:
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD - $119.99
Microsoft wireless Xbox controller - $42.99
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD - $109.99 (you can see the price drop here from the other one)
EVGA GTX 970 - $295.98
Logitech G240 Mousepad (don't laugh it's nice) - $19.99
Logitech G910 Orion Spark Keyboard - $179.99
Logitech G610 G600 Mouse - $79.99
Netgear N900 Wireless Adapter - $52.99
Asus MX279H 27" monitor - $199.99
So another ~$1100
And then software purchases - $2950 or so on Steam (god that was depressing to add up)
Humble Bundles - $310 or so
Amazon software download codes - $30
So all told like $3300 for 772 games on Steam. Throw in another $300 for Blizzard software and probably like $200 in subscription fees for WoW and all in with hardware you're looking at $6,350 for what PC gaming has cost me since November 2011. So divide that out into 64 months and you get about $100 per month.
I just wanted to get the whole "PC gaming is expensive" thing out of the way because I'd wager that console gamers can easily average $100 per month when you factor in having to pay for Xbox live or PSN plus. I'm also being super generous and adding in shit like fancier than necessary peripherals, computer monitors when HDMI to any modern TV is fine, and a few other "quality of life choices" like the computer case, CPU cooler, additional RAM, etc.
At the end of the day, I believe that PCs are about value, experience, and choice. I don't have to celebrate shit like Grand Theft Auto finally being backwards compatible because I've had it the entire time with mods playable from my couch using whatever god damn controller I please. I don't play it because it's kind of a shitty game and I've got 700+ other games to play. It's also full 1080 (if not more) and 60fps. Hell you can go nuts and get a GSync monitor and play things in 144hz.
Emulators? Got that (ever see Dolphin running Gamecube games? PS2 games in their full glory with AA?)
Porn? Yes.
VR Porn? The tech is getting there.
4K Blu Rays? Sure let me order the drive but I won't because fuck optical media
Want to boot directly to a game menu? Steam big picture mode will do that from startup.
VR? Vive is the best game in town and it's fucking room scale.
Oh and it's also a PC so I have full access to an assortment of software, my music library, photo editing, MS Office, etc.
And you can run it all through HDMI or whatever the fuck you want to output it with to any TV, A/V receiver, whatever!
Because PC is all about choice and it's fucking awesome here. I seriously encourage anyone and everyone to dive in because the water is fine and it's never been easier to get this shit up and running.
Unless you're using a gaming laptop. Those things are pieces of shit.

So far my G4560 + RX 470 is doing really well on my second rig. I won't bother with any of the tougher to run games, but so far it's a great combination for the older and easier to run games.

I've spent at least half that again on console and portable gaming in the same time frame. I wouldn't be surprised if I average about $2000 per year on games and gaming related devices.
I'd think that was kinda average on this board yeah? People probably just don't realize that they have to add up peripherals, consoles, monthly subscriptions, etc.
Are there waifu VR games?
It's crazy how long mine has lasted. I kinda want to upgrade so that my "map games" can run faster in the end game and for a better motherboard more than anything. Those new PCIe SSDs look amazing.

I'm not even close to 6000 dollars since 2011 lmao
Since 2011 I only got a PS4 for like 400 bucks at the time. And maybe 20-30 games or so? Add in PS+ and Xbox Live during the start which is around 50 a year, some occasional in-game FIFA purchases (don't judge me, I'm a feeble slut).
So 400 + 1500 (let's say 25 full priced games) + 300 for PS+/XBL + 200 (FIFA stuff)= 2400, so how many months did we take? 55 or so? Comes down to around 45 bucks a month.
Gonna buy the limited edition Horizon Zero Dawn though, so that's gonna add up soon 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Have to say though, still a lot of money, but nothing compared to my haydays where I would probably buy a full priced game every 1 week.

There were days where COD and FIFA did some damage on my Xbox controllers...
I also killed so many of those stupid wired headsets that were plugged into your Xbox360 controller, by hurling controller away with my headset still on my head...

Other than the video card, I'm still on the same PC hardware that I first built in 2010. 2600K still holds up well, especially overclocked.

No SSD?

Got a smaller SSD back when I built it for the boot/Windows drive, still going strong. Plenty of read/write life still as well, surprisingly.
I have a larger regular HDD for game installs/media.
