i got 20k savings. I save 10k as emergency fund so i basically do have some finnancial freedom to make this decision without severe consequences

[HardStuckLTN;]

Why is that? do you have experience with that?

Yes rotting in front of your pc is much more fun than rotting on phone or TV so you'll end up spænding more time inside

 

[Big Boss]

?? U good?

Im good. Are you good?

 

[alsayan]

Not in order

Start investing you moron. Inflation is reducing the worth of that money every year.

You have a very specific taste. Crazy how skyrim has been going this long with the modding community. I havent actually looked into its appeal, from my knowledge its a bit like fallout?

Have u ever played dragons dogma? I think you might like that

Worth it, look at pirated games megathread: https://rentry.org/pgames for all safe free game sites, if u like online racing i recommend onlinefix site it has free online games with normal servers like fh6

Yes i think i will like it aswell, i havent played it yet.

Skyrim doesnt need mode vanilla is still peak but mods can help with small parts of immersion

Thanks brother. Luckily the main sim i play is richard burns rally which is already free but for other older games like GTA 4 and mgs3 ill have a look at those

If they have a job the ROI for building a pc is quite shit giving the extra time spent It's only worth it if they actually think it's fun to construct one

Its cheaper and is better to build ur own bro plus u won't get scammed

 

[g4rlic]

im a retard but maybe beats buying two consoles every 5 years

 

[Alexg_lover]

It's cheaper but not that much cheaper. It's not worth the extra hours, working a minimum wage in that time would literally have a higher ROI. Getting scammed is relative; it's not a scam to be charged extra for labour and planning you don't want to do yourself

I agree, this is my exact mindset. I have alot of other things going on too (like posting porn threads) so i dont have alot of time to be spent building a pc. Im not sure if id find it fun but id rather just skip the hassle of saving some money even though i have enough to buy a pre built.
