Protest is probably the first step of escalation. It only takes a small tipping point to push things further. Things will have to get pretty uncomfortable for people to be spurred into further action

I've had random jaw/tooth pressure for a few weeks now that won't go away. I went to the dentist and then a specialist, who claims I do not have any tooth related issues.

It doesn't seem to be sinus related so...only thing I can think of is clenching (which I don't think I'm doing? I don't notice it, at least? Both dentists didn't see any related issues that would point to it) or some kind of muscle tension, which is specifically causing pressure on my top right row of teeth.

I'm kinda at a loss at this point. I figure I'll go to the doctor in a week if it doesn't resolve itself. I'm assuming it's stress related or something considering everything going on in my personal life and well...the world lol.

In other news, the new monster hunter game is coming out soon. Which is kinda crazy to me because I didn't finish the iceborne dlc of worlds or get around to rise at all. Where has the time gone? I'm looking forward to that!

"Might be fun to discover what the military does when they don’t get their paychecks"

This might be the best case scenario. A military takeover that then gives power back to a "normal" government. Or ideally assists with rebuilding American democracy to prevent an authoritarian fascist takeover and prevent religion and companies from influencing government.

Wouldn't that be nice? Let me dream lol

I wonder if this is only violent criminals or anyone trump doesn't like. I'm not sure which is going to be worse. This or guantanamo

And why would Ukraine take that deal? They gave up their nukes and look where that got them. Trump wouldn't follow through. He would move the goal post after

I hope this is just bad luck and not the start of a trend

Lol actually that's a good point. He'll do whatever for profit

I kinda hate that it kinda got to this. I hope that things work out for the best, though. It makes me sad that people are suffering/will suffer because of crazy people

Ooof what the heck happened to PC parts? Is this still from the pandemic?

I just looked online and locally, the best I can find is a 4070. But online the 4090's are going for $3700+? At that rate I might be better off just getting a prebuilt with a 4090 right?

Thank you that's good to know!

Haha, yeah, I get that. I thought I would be okay on my current PC. But I guess I waited too long to upgrade, and now I basically have to just rebuild due to needing a new motherboard. I've been using a R9 280x and honestly, if it wasn't for wanting to play some PC games I've missed out on and the streaming/video editing I would ride or die with this PC until the end.

The 5090 just released, right? I figured in the worst case scenario, I could get whatever the next best thing is, and it would probably be something I'm happy with.

I just wana be able to run DaVinci resolve well. Maybe multi stream(?), run vtube studio, and play the latest games as high as I can. Currently, my PC just limps along, and I'm actually very impressed that i've been able to push it as hard as I have.

In terms of streaming, it's honestly more of a hobby for the time being. Maybe one day I would go with a dual setup? I'm not entirely sure how practical that would be. I mean I have my current PC. If I could still make use of it, maybe I could go that route? I honestly don't know a thing of how that would work or what would be needed.

 

(Is there a more appropriate community to post this in?) Thank you in advance for any advice/help!

I've come across this build on PC part picker, but I was hoping someone could help me customize it a bit better for my needs. I'm going to be streaming, gaming, and editing videos on this machine.

I would like to future-proof the PC as much as I reasonably can (10-15 years' usage would be great).

My budget is probably around 2-3k CAD? I am over extending myself slightly, but I have used my PC daily for 12 years, and I figure if not now, when?

The only other thing I might consider is new monitors, but otherwise, I'll be reusing all my peripherals as those are more recently upgraded!

I was also thinking a better Nvidia card might be worthwhile? The main thing is I'm not familiar with how the parts work in terms of compatibility. That and electrical usage/needs from the power supply

Edit: are prebuilts any good nowadays? I'm not opposed to the idea. I know I could figure out assembly myself, but if there's something worthwhile, I wouldn't be opposed either.

What are your thoughts on this? Are you happy? Sad?

I'm extremely curious. If you asked me this as a kid, I would have been celebrating. I always thought games should be accessible to everyone. But now I'm questioning if Microsoft plans to keep the Xbox ecosystem alive.

Exclusive titles are/were the incentive to keep people on certain consoles. Currently, I think only gamepass and digital libraries would be the only reason to stay with Microsoft if they continue to make systems in the future.

Additionally, I'm curious as to how this could destabilize the market. With no direct competition for high end hardware (other than pc/the steam deck), Sony can kinda do whatever they please.

 

I feel like I've played a good amount of horror titles, and I find I don't really get scared much anymore.

What are some titles that scared you the most? I would love to hear your recommendations!
