I dont think it was the mobo or the psu.

Still not getting video signal.
Likely the GPU but it lights up and the fans spin so wtffff

o man

wish i could help but have not done this for years

meanwhile, the basic ipad is selling for only $280 (plus tax) at pest buy

just saying :D

currently using my Acer laptop hooked up to my tv via hdmi w/ wireless mouse and mechanical keyboard

i just miss my badass editing/gaming rig breh

i was planning on upgrading my gpu later thi syear any way

so whatevs. if i slowly replace every part eventually it'll work again/ill have a brand new pc

counterpoint for the sake of theeery (like sickbok in trainspotting, “theery”)

i get the notion of a hotrod for games and editing

but for editing really you want a stable videocard that’s compatible with your software. video editing is not all about framerates but stability and color accuracy and an architecture that allows effects to do their thing without assploding. right? different gpu species.

i remember when my fucking avid would crash and i couldn’t get support cuz my self-built full tower behemoth wasnt an “avid certified machine” lololol

premier used to be a pain too.

anyway switched to mac and final cut (x, of all things!) and fuckit, it runs. sometimes slow but no more fucking headaches. edited a 4k video on a 2009 mac mini (lmao) and it stuttered like hell but exported fine. ok i upgraded the hd in that one. ssd ftw.

i am now looking forward to do all short things on ipad pro honestly. i mean. hardware needs are becoming moot just like sound did once upon a time. tldr do you really need a beast to edit anymore? i think stability and reliability are more important now.

as for games—wouldnt a console be more ad hoc and efficient and economical at this point? or do you have pc specific needs that need megapower?

im not fighting with you, just pointing out possibilities for your decision tree looking forward from here. clarifying gaming needs vs editing needs.

consoles dont have the games i like to play, or the ability to use mouse and keyboard over a gamepad

i also am super huge on emulating old games, which i cant do for free on a console

AVID can suck my fuckmaker. i'm a sony vegas man untl i die breh.

my pc is like a one-stop shop of eveything i enjoy in life, and has replaced nearly everything i own which is why it sucks that it randomly decided to start giving me shit

Also i just like computers. i enjoy fine tuning the system to my liking and being able to adjust components, add additional storage (i have over 5 terabytes rn), etc. the versatility of a pc is what appeals to me most. a custom built pc is like the freeform jazz of the tech world. i went three years w/o issue

avid used to be glorious. super methodical. i loved it, but it was too demanding on hardware and updates and ufff... long story

anyway yeah what you say is right... it’s the freeform jazz etc. yes.

and if i had the time and could afford the downtimes i would. but oh, not really, cuz a hackintosh is a pain in the ass and can’t self-build no more.

i guess i wrote myself out of that free jazz path for the foreseeable future.

i’ve switched to appliances and the cloud, basically... which is a bit like when computers started. i used to have a VAX account lololo!

anyway—fix your shit man! :D

end this suffering and fix it already. wtf is going on?

I love that disorientation feeling like right when u wake up and u cant make sense of shit

Hey nonny ding dong, alang, alang, alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay...

Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Oh, life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so fine
Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Sh-boom sh-boom, ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom sh-boom, ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom sh-boom…

But life was like a dream.
A series of meaningless movement

Life is a nightmare. I can't wait to wake up.

Had a nightmare where I lost my house and had to live in the sewers w these horse sized transluscent scorpions. I just woke up and noped the fuck right outta that one

Something tells me I swallowed a spider

Fell back asleep, just awoke from a very brief dream im a shawarma shop where some cute Muslim girls in garb offered to urinate on my sandwich before serving it to me. I accepted

I haven't really dreamt much....but in my last dream. My hairline was receding more and more....pretty terrifying.

Being bald is great, honestly.

It's never held me back from anything in life afaik.

Haircuts are no longer a thing, just shave your head in the sink and be done.
No need for combs, and you use so little shampoo.
I wouldn't go back to having hair, given the option.

Honestly, I look better w/o it.

Women have never taken issue w/ it either. It's how you wear it, not what it is - etc.

Urgh I feel you. Just depressing. I know I should be like "evs" but it ain't like that. Swear I'm like Samson. Lose this hair and I lose my power *quietly sobs*

Shave it off, and grow a beard. Hit the gym. No problemo.

Haha the gym and climbing have sorted one of those out. The other is I'm one of those that can't grow a beard if I could bit would have gone a long time ago. Suspect I'd end up looking more like Harry Hill then Yul Brynner.

I'll do it one day soon.

I had a dream where I was being picked up and carried around by a cute boy.

ugh I wanna be a soft small hoodie bitch so much

Tell me more about climbing, kurdt.

Where do you go? How did you start off? How high you get breh?

Ah, climbing is something I've done for the last 3/4 years with carrying degrees of enthusiasm. I'm lucky that there's an indoor climbing wall just down the road from me. Tbh, the only reason I started going was the gym was starting to bore me so I figured climbing would sort out my fear of heights, keep me fit and give me something to do in the evenings.

This year is the year where I've got some very clear targets of what grade I want to be climbing and getting out more often. I've been outside a few times but never as much as I should do. Then next year I wanna go climbing in Spain for a bit. That's gonna take some serious training on my part though.

I dunno, it's taken a while to shake off the mental shackles (lame I know) that was stopping me climbing as good as I can do. I'm by no means a very good climber, but I'm doing this for the fun of it not to have a career. However things are always getting better and here's hoping it stays like that!

So there you go. A ramble by me. I will say this though, if anyone here can do it then I'd totally recommend it. The pros from doing it are so numerous.
