What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

BIG focus on gaming. Mainly world of Warcraft and Diablo 4. I do play CSGO and Valorant as well but the first 2 are my main focus. I have a dual monitor setup so I usually browse the web, watch youtube, use discord etc… while playing games.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

$2000 USD

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

First week of July

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

Just tower

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

Long Island, New York, there is a micro center nearby.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Not reusing anything.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

I don’t think I’ll be over clocking.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

I would like an SSD for windows and faster load time in game. I also use wireless peripherals so I’ll need Bluetooth capabilities.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

No preference in case, but if it fits in the budget I’d like it to look good! Performance is the top priority though.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

I do not need a copy of windows.

Hey everyone so,
I’m on a training contract at a big 4 studying ACCA and I am purely doing it because it’s a great opportunity and it will provide me with experience and a good qualification to fall back on.
The thing is I really have no interest in accounting, is this really stupid to continue ACCA? I’m only on my second exam (MA) and already bored and struggling a little..
My thinking is to do the 3 years, hopefully complete ACCA and get my Bsc in accounting from OBU too and then go onto doing a MA in something like marketing which I am much more interested in.
I don’t feel excited by my work nor do I have motivation to study for ACCA because again there is 0 interest there and I’m also working in Audit. Is it worth sucking it up and doing this for the next few years for the sake of a ‘good’/stable career or not….
After the three years I really don’t want to work in audit but I’ve heard having the ACCA opens up so many other doors
I’m currently in the UK but I would like to go back to my home country Norway or another Scandinavian country once I have completed this… did anyone else not really enjoy accounting but did the qualification anyway? Was that a smart choice?

I made an appointment 3 weeks ago to get my first 2023 EN oil change done. I told them to check that they had 0W30 synthetic in stock, which they did, and then I asked them to cancel my service and reschedule should they run out before today, the day of my appointment. No call. So I drive to the dealership where I purchased the car 6 months ago, with 2765 on the clock. I pull in and ask if they have 0W30 full-synthetic on had. Tech said they should and I asked if I could see it. He gets the service manager who calls the garage who say they don't. I asked why no one called me to cancel my appointment since you failed to have the oil on hand. Then he offers that they have 0W20 on hand and that would probably be just fine. I said I'd rather go with what the manual calls for than his opinion. Guy said his tech said it's Hyundai policy that it's okay to put 0W20 in the car as long as the reason is that they don't have any 0W30 on hand. I indicated that there's no way that could be true unless Hyundai is a crap company. Then I asked him how he thought his words and attitudes and direct quotes would play on the Internet - how crazy they would sound. He didn't seem to be able to care much less, and pretty much said so. Then he doubled down on his theory that I should just let them put 0W20 in it. Before I left the dealership, I went to the sales floor and demanded that the owner of the dealership call me during the week. Personally, I recommend asking to lay eyes on any oil Hyundai techs say they are going to put in your engine.

So I'm looking to make the leap from Laptop gaming to Desktop. Looking build it in the next month or so.

Extra info or particulars:

I'm almost 23 and I've never been in a relationship before. No one's ever asked me out or pursued me seriously. I get along with most people quickly and without problems, I'm quite extroverted and I do get "approached" by men but mostly for conversations about mutual hobbies or to talk about our studies, but nothing beyond that. I've never been asked out before. I've dated through apps, but it usually didn't go anywhere so I deleted them.
I dress relatively well, and I'm average with the ability to look above average with enough effort put in(I study a demanding STEM field and I work so I don't put on a lot of makeup or tooooo much care into looking glam 24/7, but I do obviously try!) and I've been told I look good - specifically my body outshines my face - I'm mixed, so I thought maybe that was why but I don't find that most people have an issue with me being mixed or where I'm from.
I always get "friendzoned" / I have very deep relationships with people, and especially men but they're usually very close friendships where they love me like a sister and they don't see me as a romantic partner.
A lot of people are confused when I say I've never been in a relationship, and many are of the opinion that it's a red flag especially after a specific age. Tbh idk what to do, I have tried plenty of times but now I'm at a point where I'm busy and not really looking to invest into something that isn't working out.
Would you find that to be an instant red flag in a woman? I feel like it does turn some people off that there's no "competition" for me or that I don't get men lining up wanting to be with me or whatever.
The only time I can recall being asked out was by a guy who was extremely racist and mean to me, so obviously I said no. But that's it. I also get harassed a lot for some reason? Many men will get touchy with me and it freaks me out! Then they'll tell me they're not into me and they'd never touch a woman that way that they want for something serious!!

Hello! I currently got a Ryzen 5 3600 build with 1650 Super and 16gb RAM, I want to make my pc faster for editing videos. What do you guys think will be a better upgrade; R7 5800X which has more cores or the R5 7600X which has faster ones? Also I'm going to upgrade to a 64gb RAM, do the speed increase from ddr4 to ddr5 makes a difference?

My wife and I looking to move out further out into the country and build our own home. As the title says in California. I've been looking around for any alternatives to "sticks and cardboard" (wood and sheetrock) structures that would meet the code, but having hard time finding much else. I've been mostly interested in the upcoming hempcrete and the European style clay brick. But at that point I'm up for anything, but wood. For one, I'm not cool with all the room in between the outer wall and the inner wall that would provide thriving conditions for anything from termites over roaches to rats inside the walls. The other thing is that I do want the house to have a good thermal value and being fire proof.
The house will be 2-story tall, so I can't really go with aircrete and such. I do need something load-bearing. If there is absolutely nothing else, I'll be falling back on reinforced cinder blocks with A LOT insulation. But I hope that anyone has a better suggestion.

My ocd is super hot this week (I have my period anyway now) it has been jumping theme to theme:
“What if I truly don’t love him and I’m just in denial ? What If I don’t want to be with him and I’m truly in denial?”
“What if I’m just in denial of any problems in the relationship/flags?”
I’m in therapy. And my partner loves the idea of couples therapy if it comes down to it. Right now it’s all okay it’s just fear that overtakes me (Esp right now with my period).
I’ve gone over every possible concern with my partner and therpist - and from both ends , nothing screams red flags. But I can’t shake the feeling that I’m trapping myself by committing (we want to get married in the near future, and it’s a goal we are trying to reach).
Here is the thing, I was married before at 22 years old and it was an abusive relationship. The abuse didn’t come out till we got married :(. I also told him everything I wanted in life and expected from the relationship for 2 years that we were dating, and gave him plenty of opportunities to leave , but he didn’t. I asked him if he was really happy with me and wanted this life and he said “yes”. That was a lie. He told me 10mo after we were married that he never wanted to marry me, he never loved me, and he doesn’t want to be with me…. He just didn’t know how to break it off (what a whimp)! Do you see where my fear steams from?!? I told my ex husband while we were dating all my travel goals and desires and he agreed and loved to travel. We even took 2 big trips together while dating so I believed him.
My current soon to be fiancé loves to travel. But I’m just so scared. What if I’m married and I’m trapped ? Meaning he say we will take a trip but we really don’t ? What if my partner says , when married , it’s different and I’m trapped ? It means I made a mistake and it’s not recoverable. But I’d still want to be with him as long as he’s not beating me up. :(
My future fiancé has already said he doesn’t want me to feel or be trapped. And that he’s not my ex-husband.
I’m so scared that I’m going to trap him too. :( Meaning, when I get married I’m going to realize I don’t love him, never wanted to be with him, and that I just played him on like my ex-husband did to me. My ocd convinces me at time I’m just going down the path of my ex-husband , and this time I’ll be the bad guy.
My therapists has also confirmed these are TRAMA BASED fears that I’m dealing with. Seeing that my ex promised me one thing and did a 360… I’m so scared my partner will do the same, or I will.
How can we get married with ocd ? :( any success stories? I’m so scared if I feel panic at engagement, or wedding, I’ll run away.. I don’t want to. I just wish I can wake up, and be married to my best friend ;(
It’s as if the steps (milestones) and wedding day is a huge trigger. A symbol.

I know there really isn't any law as to how many times can landlord show the place other than as long as they don't abuse their right to show their property while tenants still live there and for as long as 24 hour notice has been given.
My landlord wants to show for 2-3 hours pretty much every other day in our last 30days until he finds a tenant. He told me he gets 2-3 families who wants to see but the last time he only needed 10mins to show the place to 1 family.
I'm concerned because we have an elderly and 2 kids. This seems a little excessive, not really sure if this is the standard for you guys as well. I think he's getting back at us because we want to move out because he increased our rent the first 6 months there. We have 3 month leases so I figured he'd do it again that's why we want to move. Thank you

I need your help guys. I'm usually very professional and work in a field with high ranking people. I've been working here for a year and some change and have been told my my immediate report that my performance is much better than the guy who i replaced(I'll call the guy I replaced Dylan) But we both report to a high ranking person who i will call John for the purposes of this question.
Anyway... In the months leading up to the guy I replaced being let go i noticed that John has a habit of trying to humiliate or making people look like a fool in front of the whole team by asking absurd questions and then throwing little fits when he doesn't get the right answer back. I watched him do this to Dylan in front of everyone before and Dylan just sat there and took it.
John had never done this to me, until a few days ago when he started asking me absurd questions which were outside the scope of my presentation and which my immediate report did not tell me to prepare for. John kept asking really technical questions and trying to put me under pressure by saying 'think about it now' and when i said I didn't know he would turn to the team and say that we all need to know our job (basically saying i don't know what I'm talking about) and he just kept doing this slide after slide. And 40 min into my presentation i noticed that it was HE who had spent the majority of the time talking.
Anyway this kept going but I felt like he was trying to make a fool out of me in front of everyone. My job is to have a broad understanding of the topic but he kept asking questions that would be more appropriate for an engineer to answer. Anyway .... Everytime I would say that I didn't know exactly he would roll his eyes and keep turning towards the team and spout out stuff as if he was schooling us.
This kept going and I eventually kind of lost my cool because it was obvious he was trying to destroy my credibility in front of everyone. The last thing we said was "you know what I don't know" but I will admit it had a slight tone.
After that happened he said "I've had enough" and then he slapped his pen into the printout i had given him and slapped his book on the table and turned towards my immediate report and said "if you can't find someone who does know then find someone who does" which i took as a threat to fire me / him trying to hold my job over my head. Then he got up and walked back to his office. About an hour later i was told to telework from home for the next few days.
I understand i lost my patience but I don't feel like his behavior is appropriate and I'm not going to let him treat me like he did Dylan. I honestly feel like he tries to make a fool out of people during their presentations... Like he gets a kick out of it.
What should I do?

I want to get a year subscription to PS Plus since it's 25% off right now, but my main PSN account is set to a country I no longer live in. Could I buy a digital gift card for that region and buy PS Plus with it?

Hi guys, I’m looking for someone to play Stardew with on a regular basis. Preferably you’re in GMT (British) time zone or similar so it’s easier to co-ordinate. I’m 22 so if you’re a similar age drop a comment

Here we are. Since the Garibaldi's nightmare update, Italy in Kaiserreich has been split into five factions: two republics, two monarchies and the pope. Lorewise, Italy suffered a civil war after the Weltkrieg, thus condemning the peninsula to a political instability that only awaits a second Risorgimento to end. I, as many other fans, think that Italy does need a rework, but maybe not as critical as others have proposed: I will address later on on the issue of the Mezzogiorno (Southern Italy), which is currently split between the Two Sicilies, ruled by Bourbons, Latium, ruled by the Pope, and Sardinia, ruled by the house of Savoy.

Risorgimento 2: Electric Boogaloo

Alright, alright, before going into the details of the various states ruling in the peninsula, let's address the region as a single element. It is one nation divided and it needs to get together again; Risorgimento is a question and the answer is "War" (because otherwise the game wouldn't be fun and because all those casualties are thankfully just numbers on a screen).
I think that the war of unification, wether it's just one or two (or more), are to be left isolated from direct foreign intervention: it usually happens that if the Neosafendisti event happens (this means that the southern states support terrorism in the SRI and the SRI responds by declaring war) and the peninsula gets into a war, after some years of fighting the SRI will join the Internationale, getting the Two Sicilies to join the Reischpakt (or other factions) and causing the war of unification of Italy to become one with the second Weltkrieg.
Does that make sense? Yeah, sure: the political balance in the peninsula is broken, the Internationale hurries to try to aid the italian ally ASAP and the Two Sicilies will respond by joining a faction. Could it be changed? Yeah, and I believe it would be even better: what if we isolate the second Risorgimento so that Italy (or the most of it, excluding Sardinia and maybe the northern republic) can unify before or during the second Weltkrieg without having to fight dozens of french/british/german/austrian/other troops camped on the Alps or Appennines?
"Isolating" Risorgimento does NOT mean that other nations are not going to intervene: the new Italy is going to be (possibly) decisive to the outcome of the second Weltkrieg, hence everyone, the Internationale, the Reischpakt, the Entente and Austria, are going to want to influence the war, obviously, but we can limit that to the volunteers, similarly to what happens during the Second American Civil War. This means that the Internationale will get a national spirit of "Supporting the SRI" giving the +X Volunteer Force, the austrians getting a similar one for the northern republic/federation/whatever (or they may not support it if the conditions are not favourable to them) and southern italy will get support from... well... we'll see: I already have a couple ideas on how to rework it as a whole, so I'm not really sure who would support it: could be Germany, could be Austria, could be the Entente.
So we now have war all over Italy, great. Lots of volunteers (not as many as a Weltkrieg-styled war would imply), lots of lend leases, lots of events. Events that could mean a ceasefire between the south and the north, partisans, captured cities, stability up-and-downs, you get it. There's a lot of content that could be added. A lot of it could be a "recalling" to the previous Risorgimento campaigns: events for the SRI capturing Naples referring to Garibaldi or the Kingdom led by the house of Savoy entering Milan, once again.
In the end we get an unstable, to-be-rebuilt, war torn Italy that at least is unified and ready to choose its future path, either in a faction or isolated.

Questione Meridionale, once again

Questione meridionale or the issue of the south: historically it meant how southern Italy was dealt with after the annexation of the Two Sicilies and the rise of Brigantaggio, armed people who revolted in the south against the new state. I cite the historical fact not only to give context to the name of the chapter, but also because I think that it might be the case to use these brigants in our mod, I'll explain why.
It is a known fact that southern Italy needs a rework: the Pope? He seems useless; the Bourbons? Cool, but unrealistic how they came to power; Sardinia? It's just standing there waiting for the Entente to land beside Genova for the 56th time in six months so they can enjoy the manslaughter of ten thousands portuguese, australians and french soldiers.
I put these three nations together because I feel like they could actually stay together: what if instead of three different entities we get a new state, like the old (as in old versions) confederation was? I do NOT intend to just choose one of the three leaders and ditch the rest though: I feel like we can have a fun little power struggle to choose the path you prefer.
The starting situation might be this: southern Italy, from Rome down, plus Sardinia, is still ruled by the house of Savoy (parenthesis: I do not know which king: surely Vittorio Emanuele III has abdicated by now, but in favour of whom? I think the son, Umberto II, could be a considerable alternative to Amedeo, but this is a trivial thing to decide, let's postpone it). The rule of the Savoyards is very weak though, think of it: they almost completely lost the civil war, the industrialized north is occupied by a Syndacalist republic who has sworn death to the monarchy and yet another republic has proclaimed itself to be the successor to the italian power struggle, with the old kingdom in shambles being confined in the rural south. Also, as I mentioned before, brigants.
I believe that the first part of the game for the southern kingdom could be: do you resist the brigant tensions and protests and reform the kingdom, eventually repealing the martial law and preparing for a second risorgimento OR you lose to them, causing a complete change of your country? If you were to lose to them, then you'd have two options: the brigants, fomented by the house of Bourbon, restore Ferdinando to the throne, basically just changing the ruling monarchy. The other option would be (maybe implementing a foreign –German, Austrian and Entente– summit) placating the protesters by choosing a more "neutral" (not really, but you get what I mean) choice: the Pope. This way we could have a unified southern Italy, with Sardinia no more isolated from the rest of Italy, and a possibility to choose between the old kingdom, the new kingdom and the old italian confederation which sounds, academically speaking, pretty fucking cool.
Two words on the Italian Confederation ruled by the Pope: one of the things I loved about the Garibaldi's nightmare update was the implementation of a LOT of new nations in the italian peninsula: from two nations to, possibly, seven! All those microstates you can release such as Tuscany or Lombardy, they're cool! Let's not remove them from the game entirely! I think they can either pop up when a foreign power, such as Austria, decides to "balkanize" Italy after conquering it OR if the Pope decides to lead a decentralized italian confederation: instead of having a state called Italian Confederation, you'd have a faction named after it containing all these microsates, led by their Pope liege, who will lead them in internal politics (something like the single currency thing or the unified economy similarly to the Mitteleuropa or the IEDC and the research ones like the ISAAC or the Kaiser Wilhelm Society) as well as in external politics: each state reclaiming the "Irredent lands". Note: the concept of irredent land is borrowed from italian irredentism, meaning that Ticino, Malta, Corsica, Trentino would still be claimed by the confederation (Ticino to Lombardy, Trentino to Venice) even though realistically those states acting indepedently wouldn't really care to claim or conquer them.

The northern republics, they're pretty good!

The title kinda sells it: I don't have much to say about them, I think their content is on point: they have the content they're supposed to have. The SRI wishes to conquer all of Italy under a Syndacalist state, the Republic of Italy wishes first of all to survive, and the possibly to reunite the peninsula under a new, democratic, republican state.
The SRI might fall in the hands of Totalist Mussolini and similarly the republic, suffering pretty badly from the economic crisis, risks to either fall in the hands of the National Populists (in which regard I have to say I really enjoyed the brief but intense lead of D'Annunzio in older patches, it didn't feel so unrealistic) or completely collapse in the austrian sphere of influence, losing its independence and becoming a federation led by an austrian appointed ruler.
Again, for the both of them things would be better, more balanced and, most importantly, MORE FUN, if the Risorgimento were to be left alone by the rest of the nations, if not for volunteers, sanctions, embargoes, that kind of things. But I do not wish to repeat myself any further, wich is a thing I do too often.
Thank you for your patience in reading this, I sure hope to read your considerations on this and my apologies for any mistakes in my essay, since I'm neither an english-native speaker nor an expert in Kaiserreich lore.

I was inspired by the excellent, if divisive, 2021 Uruguayan documentary Directamente para video (Straight to VHS) - it's about Uruguay's 1989 cult film Acto de violencia en una joven periodista (Act of Violence Upon a Young Journalist) - to begin work on a letterboxd list that will list every single country's iconic cult film. I would love some help from this subreddit to build it out.
I'm looking for the one film from each country that is a cult phenomenon that, ideally, is only really popular in that country. Something a lot of people, or at least a small but rabid fanbase, obsess over. It doesn't have to be "so bad it's good", it could have been a huge hit, or a flop that's been reevaluated over time. Ideally, it's a movie that feels unique to its country, and offers a distinct representation of a national character. For America, it could only be The Room for obvious reasons, despite the fact it's gained a huge global cult following.
I know national cinemas will produce more renowned, masterful works of art that represent the very best of its country's filmmaking talent, but I feel there's real worth in identifying the film that captures the imagination of its national audiences moreso than international audiences or critics. We're aware of Turkey's Mockbusters and Iran's FilmFarsi, and I'd love to get more recommendations of similar films for a whole bunch of countries.
It can be hard to define, I'm from the UK and I have no idea what our iconic cult film would be - plenty of arguable candidates like Withnail & I, but they don't quite capture the kind of cult film I have in mind for this list.

Hello people of the internet, I recently did the shocking discovery that my bike is on nearly 11 year old tyres, so I'm obviously in the market for some new one's. I was looking at the Diablo Rosso iii tyres they seem like a good performance/tour tyre, have any of you guys ever had them before? If so did you like them? Did they do ok in the rain?

Legitimately. I've played many different kinds of games across many different genres and I have never played a game that is as silky smooth as th is. Not smooth as butter, smooth as silk. I am in eastern NA and I've fought people from SA, JPN, AFRICA, and plenty of other places that are nigh unplayable in other fighting games I like (coughtekkentrashonlinecough) and I have had no issues whatsoever, not even with the few wifi folks I've played. Ok well that's not entirely true, I fought a honda and had one tiny issue with his wifi but it quickly adjusted and was smooth again. I beat him too.
This is the new standard for online gaming, idc. Bamco needs it, SNK needs it, hell every online game needs this.
Aight that's about it, I was just happy that for once I've had a seamless online experience in my life with folks outside of my country. Really puts a smile on my face.
