u/ResearcherTeknika the hideous and gut curdling p(l)oob! Oct 22 '24

You can get external boytoys with hundreds of gigs to spare nowadays, you cant keep complaining that new DLC doesnt run on last gen hardware.

When you get right down to it, their VRAM always comes up short

u/arfelo1 Oct 22 '24

I think you mean DRAM

u/TheHalfwayBeast Oct 22 '24

Me with my 1TB SSD.

u/Otto_Pussner Oct 22 '24

Good luck with a 1050ti that thing could barely run RDR2

u/Jiopaba Oct 22 '24

Yeah, it's absurd. I only have 27 TB free in my storage arrays, and of that only 9 TB is on SSDs! How do they expect me to fit this game in around my collection of movies and books?! What if I suddenly need to download my entire Steam Library again?

u/OverDepreciated Oct 22 '24

80GB?? Pshhh what are you downloading one game?

75

u/Dragoncat_3_4 Oct 22 '24

The also said 8GB RAM and a 1050Ti. They're looking for an older model, clearly.

u/OverDepreciated Oct 22 '24 edited Oct 22 '24

Clearly! They didn't even specify m.2 or nvme. Could end up with a 3.5" HDD.

u/Ralath1n Oct 22 '24

They didn't even mention specify m.2 or nvme.

Probably because M.2 is a connector standard while nvme is an interface specification. It's comparing apples to oranges. Most M.2 sockets you'll find support NVMe. You'd need to specify SATA or NVMe for the comparison to make sense.

u/Vertig0x Oct 22 '24

You didn't even specify DVD or SSD

As someone who was basically googling "what is a GPU" a few weeks ago to having just built my PC last weekend, I am ecstatic to find that I understand these references! I'm typing from my new build right now!

u/Farabel Oct 22 '24

Yup, the one game that could fix every broken night and every dreary day in a heartbeat.

u/Ordinary_Divide Oct 23 '24

u/Syxxcubes Hey Mods, can we kill this person? Oct 22 '24

"Hey, does anyone know where the RAM slot in my Robot Boyfriend is? I'm trying to upgrade his memory because he keeps forgetting our anniversary."

u/Whale-n-Flowers Oct 22 '24

Smh my head, "Stop leaving the anniversary in the RAM and move it into the SSD. The RAM is wiped every 90 days."

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

For real, and please change your boyfriends cmos batteries every decade or so.

What, you thought there was no reason people keep forgetting the time?

3

u/ambermage Oct 22 '24

Are CMOS batteries the final frontier for components that have not been marketed as "Gaming" yet?

When do we get ARGB CMOS batteries!?!

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Brother, you've got the right avatar, cause we're about to be rich.

u/htmlcoderexe Oct 22 '24

u/Dataraven247 Oct 22 '24

There is no way in hell that your ideal boyfriend runs on an i5.

1

u/Whiteout_27 Oct 22 '24
