Damn really cured my depression by being happy

This sounds unbelievably stupid but it's amazing to realize the amount of power you have over how other people feel, especially for being happy. It's become so standard to close up and just talk negatively about yourself that you may not realize how easily you can make someone else's day good.

I like my custom post boxes so thin they can only fit 1 letter per line

A little more info

I'm between prebuilt or not rn. I'm daunted by building one myself but if it saves enough money I probably can

My budget is unknown but I'm expecting around $1,000 to... Maybe $2,000 USD maximum. Idk how much would be covered by Christmas

I'm looking for something better than what I have rn, which shouldn't be hard + I can easily upgrade a desktop

Again, thanks! The advice I've gotten has been very helpful

toaks @toaks

TL;DR: I'm thinking about asking for a desktop computer for Christmas and I kinda need some advice

For the past 5-6 years, the practicality of a laptop has been worth the drawbacks. Now, as I start to do things which require more power from a computer, it seems to be becoming a bottleneck rather than freeing.

I know very little about things like motherboards, power supplies, anything AMD, and desktops in general 🫠 so I figure it's not worth building one from scratch for me

What's a good desktop? I'm looking to get something better than my laptop (16 gb RAM, i7-12700…k?, laptop RTX 3060, 1 TB SSD) and I have a lot of money saved from never participating in capitalism (I don't want to spend a butt load of $$$ on this though).

Does anyone have any advice? Should I get a prebuilt? Assemble it myself? Try AMD parts (not sure about this though)?

Just trying here before I dive into… Reddit 🤢

I'm looking for a new monitor for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations, specific or not?

I was thinking OLED, 1440p (both screens I have rn are 1080p) (I'm not sure my computer would do well on 4k), but I'm having a hard time finding one that looks good.

My favorite D&D trope at the table is pretending modern works exist in game, but as a different medium, like the play "ultimate mortem" (Die Hard), or Shakespeare just being canon because it's time period accurate

Take 3: it finally works... Alright with an added module which automatically launches the minecart if it arrives and the chest is empty. Actually this design sucks but it's functional enough for what I need

Success!

Worked on it more, and a random bug broke the entire working machine. It needs to be fixed

toaks @toaks

No joy quite like saying "I should make a super smelter!", starting to work on it, getting lost on the redstone, going into a test world, testing ideas, getting lost on ideas, looking up tutorials, tutorials are way too complicated or way too simple, and giving up on the idea
