At that price I'd have dug it all up and gone out and brought a hose and sprinkler.
What have you purchased recently?

At that price, I'm ready to burn this shit down, collect the insurance, and pay a couple years' rent in advance for a nice apartment to a landlord who can worry about plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and general maintenance. I swear, if it wasn't for the need of a bathroom, refrigeration, and reliable wi-fi, I'd comfortably live out of my fucking car over paying to fix up the next thing in this got damn house every two months.
As long as you had a landlord that actually bothers to get shit done. Mine only gets off his arse and puts a single cent into the triplex I live in when he absolutely has to, and even then he takes his sweet god damn time with it. Quality of life? Nicer living environment? Actually responding to text messages ever? Psshh, yeah right. We may as well not exist until anything rent related comes up, the fucker.
Count your blessings that when things need to get done, you know it's gonna get done. It could be faaarrr worse

With how much rent currently is in my area I could have something in my house break literally every month and I'd still be paying less for my mortgage, HOA fees, and repairs than I would to rent anything of a similar size. Rent is ludicrous right now.
Come on, everyone knows that renters only exist to pay the landlords' mortgages.
That's assuming you can even find a place to rent. In the region where I live, thanks to covid-inspired 'tree-changers' (people moving out of cities) and a bunch of landlords deciding short stay accomodation (like AirBnB) is more profittable and less hassle than long term rental, there's a severe shortage of rental properties... actually, there's a severe shortage of properties period but even worse for rental properties. So of course, with a shortage in properties the actual rents have sky rocketed.

Starfox Zero. Kinda been wanting the game for my collection since its one of those that I don't think emuilation will ever be an option for. Plus, its more Starfox and some of those games are fantastic.
Me and my neighbours have heard of their friends finding good landlords, so it's not like they don't exist... but definitely a diamond in the rough sort of thing. SPEAKING OF-
Hope you enjoy it! It has a little bit of a learning curve, cause the controls are a love it or hate it situation. I'm one of those whackos that quite enjoys the game, so, fingers crossed you do as well!

Well, I kinda think I might if I get used to the controls since its based on Starfox 64 which is one of my top 10.
Yeah they exist but they tend not to be the majority... and in some areas would qualify as being 'rare as rocking horse shit'.
Just one -
Where have I seen that name before…
Lazulite as described in the trivia section was also present (top right), but not for purchase -

Bought Spider-Man Miles Morales from the playstation store's spring sale. Been wanting to play it since it came out, but I wanted to do it on the PS5. Want to finish it before Spider-Man 2 comes out.

I paid way too much for a 3080 last year, so I'm just moving that over. The CPU is a Ryzen 7 7800x3d, it sounds like its the best cpu for gaming on the market now and not badly priced if you can avoid scalpers, its a brand new chip so it sells out fast, but comes back in stock fast too. Also getting 32 gigs of ddr 5 ram, which is overkill since 16 gigs is still really all you need but.. ehh, overkill is fine.
Linus says while he isn't finding the 3d chips particularly faster than non-3d, they run cooler at lower watts. As I intend to air cool, that matters a lot. Sounds like an amazing build! Congrats!

In the tests they did the 7800x3d beat pretty much every other chip for gaming and used less power.
