The Song of Achilles - Madeleine Miller

Might be controversial, I apologise, but in it's soul and bones it is the straightest "gay" book I've ever read. Straight people keep heralding it as a Queer Classic™®© in a way that queer people don't.

A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara

At first you give it your good will and chapter by chapter the creeping horror sets in that the emperor has no clothes.

Trash in lit's clothing

No she didn't

She's said she's voting for Kamala but that this is not the same as an endorsement by Chappell Roan ®™©

But people heard the words "problems on both sides" and deliberately took it completely out of context and have been bullying her about it for weeks

Wonderful, many thanks

Thanks for checking on the basics. I do have and use compressed air but I literally had no idea that my TV had a gaming mode, which I've just discovered it does

The RAM I bought was recommended by a friend but perhaps they didn't know they had to match idk.

I appreciate the order of priorities, that helps a lot

I had no idea this was a thing, I have found Game Mode on my TV, hahah

Will see what this changes

Thanks for this. I'm not 100% against learning how to build my own, it's more that the more I read the more confused I get about what order to prioritise upgrades and the various knock on effects everything has. I appreciate you coming up with an order to go about things

Appreciate this, thanks

Thanks for this

Ah I understand, thanks

So is the motherboard the best thing to use as The Thing I Keep and level up everything else to meet its ability?

I'll Google "what does a home server do" and get back to you, ha

Very kind of you I use it for everything (I've edited the post to give more info) so I'm not against spending a few grand (UK£) if now is the right time to do so. If it's not the right time then I'm trying to work out what I can replace that will be compatible and easy for a noob to install I guess

Sorry, I'm being a noob, but what does "upgrade everything to max spec" mean? Does that mean to replace everything, in which case are you suggesting it's time for a whole new rig?

I'm currently using my TV as monitor because I use the pc for everything, I don't watch regular TV and anything I do watch I stream. Is using a TV as a monitor a bad thing?

Yeah I guess I'm trying to work out if now is the right time, or to hang on a while

Sorry, yeah I'm new at this. I'll edit to add info

It's hooked up to my TV because I use it for everything from simple browsing, YouTube, streaming TV/movies, to gaming. For games the most taxing is something like BG3, but I can't think of anything else in terms of taxing programmes.

I don't think I'd have a user for it if I kept it. Even if I kept the hard drive I'd have to research How and What To Save To Which Drive On Your PC, ha

I'm not against investing a few grand if it's the right money spent at the right time, if that makes sense? My worry about changing individual parts is the standard worries about installation and compatibility, but if it's too soon to be chasing the whole rig then I can get over that

Interesting, what kind of temps are a bad sign?

So just updating to a SSD might be sufficient? I was worried it was too late to be changing individual parts as the remaining parts wouldn't be able to support them, but maybe not?

If they come for Karina "Drawfee" Farek they come for me

could we stop importing American bullshit? Thanks
