> If you're content to play a huge backlog of old / pirated PC shit, at 1080p or 720p, etc, then the refurb might be a decent buy. But speaking personally, I wouldn't buy that PC. Maybe if it came with a 3060 or 3070 it would be worth it.

I agree with everything except the last part. If someone want's to save money by buying a PS5, then I still believe, he will be better off buying a cheap PC for the same price, and actually use the machine.

I have an Xbox one, and after I found out just how ridiculously restricted that machine is, I never turned it on again.

@KonataWagner @BlinkRape
The reason why I would never recommend console is, that
1) It cannot be used for ANYTHING other then official games. until you start hacking it.
2) Games are MUCH more expensive
3) The games won't be usable in a few years
4) No modding, No option to change graphical options for some reason.
5) No custom software, you cannot even watch youtube while playing

Playing on console is so restrictive.

@TornadoOfTerror @KonataWagner @BlinkRape
Yes, I chose it to show, that buying PS5 because it's cheap seems stupid, when you can buy a cheap PC. Without any thinking.

@BlinkRape @KonataWagner
I get the joke, but all I'm saying is, that if you want a gaming PC, you can always just buy a pre-build.

It is still better then a console. And you don't have to think about balancing it. But it doesn't lock you out of using the maching for actual work on it. Or Pirating games... Or just playing free stuff.

@KonataWagner
The problem with these GPU's is, that they are 10 times stronger, then new games actually need. So yes, consoles are cheaper... but only because they are so far behind this, that comparing them to new GPU's is.... comical.

@KonataWagner
Either buy a PC, or Deck if you have a PC already.

I have a many years old 1660, and it still isn't even sweating. Consoles don't offer you the "best experience" as much as "optimized experience", where you don't even see what details are turned off.

Why am I even starting anyway? I know you understand technology enough to know all of that.

Is it me, or did intel actually choose the BEST time to launch their own GPU, when both Nvidia and AMD cards seem to be weird?

I have been playing the end game for so long now, I am afraid I will be retarded once I can finally start again... Since I won't remember how to deal with all of the early problems.

re: Factorio 

@Immahnoob
Yeah... Not to mention, that redundancies are critical in the late game.

I have an unfinished 500h save, and at some point, I gave up on optimalization, as long as I could make it all expandable.

Yes, the last splitter to connect green chips is pointless.

@Hoss
The weirdest thing about this is, that if they did everything except the lockdown, the environment would actually benefit MORE then with the lockdown.

But we all know, they just want a bigger prisons.
