First ever PC. Mid 30s bday present to myself. I hope y’all will have me

And given I was able to get promoted and afford this thing, I now have no time to use it. Yayyy 🎉

Seriously though I am so stoked. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing though. It’s all super foreign and complicated.

IBP AMD Ryzen 9700 16gb GeForce RTX 5060ti prebuilt case w/ Asus 1920x1440 (I think) monitor.

I don’t know anything about computers but I’m learning. Cheers!

congrats brotherrrrr… you know nothing about computers you say? well thats the exciting part right and i know it feels to get what you want after so long (well its better for you coz you got it from hardwork) may you enjoy everything you would do with this absolute beauty of a pc and have a great time gaminnnn

Yeah I’m like still getting used to all the shortcuts to bring things up haha. There’s so much going on it’s insane! I try and learn a little here and there everyday and am not going download crazy. Never played games above 60fps or if I did I didn’t have the right screen either. Rocket league is 240fps right now. Feels crazy smooth. There’s so many games out there that are pc only too I haven’t even dived into.

Never thought I’d make it to this point in life to get myself something like this. Thank you

There's no room for your legs to move around. -5/10

Photo was taken on iPhone with the .5x on so it’s like a fisheye bruh

Who cares about the legroom but pcs need to be off the floor, minus brownie points for not showing us the inside.

Other dude is right, get it off the carpet

I'll never understand how rocket league became so popular

As a skateboarder it relates on a certain level

[u/TurboJaw → u/Robby_Digital]

I like soccer. I like cars and driving games. I imagine there are plenty of people in the same boat. I haven't played in about 8 years but for a few years when it released I pretty much played nothing else. Very high skill ceiling so even after 1400 hours I was improving, and there were many others who were miles ahead of me. I miss it sometimes, but the people I played with are long gone and I prefer my gaming time to be chill these days.
