    My main rig has 64 of DDR5 and my backup rig (Yes I’m that kind of fucking nerd) has 32 of DDR4.

    I’m so fucking lucky I bought this hardware JUST in time.

    I’ve got 32 of a fast ddr4 just sitting in a parts pile. Neither machine I currently use can take it.

      Right over the last 5 years I think I bought about 4-5k of ram and storage. Which is a lot but I think at today’s rates I could flip it for 50k. I’m extremely tempted to do so cause prices have to come down right, but knowing my luck this will all be worth 500k in a few years and I’ll never be able to buy it again.

      I jacked off to this scenario just now; the struggle cuddle with the Google Chrome iconogre. Would you like to hear about our lords, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and myself? I also teach the occult.

          Hello! Holds up spork. I am Catherine, but you may refer to me as “The Penguin Which Brings Doom.” As you can see I tend to behave with incredible randomness. That is why I have come to this place, to meet with random individuals such as myself.

          I am 52 years old (though I still hold childlike jolly in my heart) and I like to listen to NPR talk shows with my beloved of the fairer sex (I am of bisexual persuasion, if you do not like it, I will disregard you outright) it is our favorite, as the range of topics can be varied!

          She does behave with unpredictable randomness and joy too, however I would like to meet others which exhibit this sort of erratic behavior. The more the merrier, as they say!

          I hope to make a lot of great new friends, so please do leave a reply to this message.

          Doom. (This is me once again exhibiting my haphazard manners.)

          Farewell!

          With love,

          Catherine, The Penguin Which Brings Doom

          Uncanny valley. Them being a lost nut seems just as plausible as it being a shitpost.

          Edit: also, even of they are doing a parody, it’s more of an annoying one than a funny one IMO. Seeing another one of their comments confirmed that for me.

    I’m still getting by with the machine I built in 2016 with what I thought was a beefy 16GB of RAM. Hopefully I can get some cheap parts and build something better after the AI bubble bursts.

      My main laptop is also 16GB. It’s from 2017 and was one of the last models left that had an incorporated DVD-player. It still runs so well I have no plans to replace it. I will mourn it when it goes. It’s been so hassle-free

      It also has a separate input for your mic. Green for headphones, red for mic.

        Depends on what OS your using and what you’re doing on it, but even with windows 16 should be enough, the problem will come if you want to use 3d editing software or video editing software, games should be fine in my experience.

      I used to believe that if I didn’t have video games, I would wither up and die. Then, it was a computer that I needed to survive. Then a phone, and that’s important now because I preach our lords, Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith, but honestly, if ever found myself in a prisonous hell, I would transition back into a woman so at least I could be pretty for all those naughty men, cuz I’m definitely going to the sex fiend ward, I realize now.

          They are our lords BECAUSE of their audacity.

          Jesus is our lord because he is so audacious, he would go up to a homeless man and ask him for spare change. That’s how Jesus and John met; where John baptizes Jesus. John, the man who ate locusts and dressed like shit, is stunned by Jesus’ balls to not give a fuck.

          Baptism:

          (Holds hand out) Will you bless me, sir?

          There’s more encapsulated in the passage where these two meet, that being Jesus made a friend by becoming indebted to a man who normally indebts himself. Something to think about.

          But Joseph Smith I do not know more than what South Park and a few other pieces of media, to include The Sound of Gravel. But he was an upstate New York boy that fucked up, learned things the hard way, became a con artist, and with the Lord’s help, was able to Start Mormonism. I understand how Mormonism is a superpositional religion like Christianity originally was.

          What made Jesus so popular as a figurehead to be talked abput was the divisive nature of his character. People loved what he represented and objectively did, while others hated his guts. It created a sociological force on society that made him a memeplex in himself. And I plan to do the same thing with my brand-new sect of Mormon Occultism, where I teach what I was originally teaching in my educational (f)art project:

          https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QoeKMD5dwnWBB6gHOFgY4uKJOXKg8CPGDu-dE5UsisQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

          Also, this IS on meds, and I would appreciate if you would stop harassing me on mental health stuffs. I am not broken, I am just not like you. Which is how I’m going to help the Orthodox Mormon Church, as their congregations could use some diversity, so I promise any beautiful black people who need me to get on my knees for them and prove the power of the Lord through oral sex that they will BE Mormons when I rise.

            Still this jesus dude has never showed up to help you, and will torture you for eternity if you don’t obey his rules (says some priest dude).

            Yeah, calm down and look around, life isn’t like that.

    Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI’s demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don’t make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

      I’m happy both my PCs have 32 😅.

      Laptop is at 16 but the expansion slot is broken so it is what it is. 16GB on linux is alright for me though.

      I did splurge on a 2TB 990Pro SSD though, that I am so happy about!
