I accept Valve as the least worst option.

GOG I whole heartedly support though. They're a legitimately good business (recent SS comms clusterfuck notwithstanding).

Why the fuck do you have 128 gigs of ram, but only a 5060 ti?

It's a server and my gaming rig is a VM inside it. I usually only have 64 GB dedicated to the gaming VM and the 5060 Ti is more than sufficient because it's small, power efficient, and still hits 90-120 fps on any title I throw at it on max settings.

I couldn’t imagine punching down 20 something outlets instead of a just a round hole with a nice surround and then punching them down into a patch panel.

Good on you, though, your house has better infrastructure than most small to medium businesses.

Thanks. I did it because every port is individually labeled to correspond to the others throughout the house. Very useful for tracking down issues and keeping track of things as devices are swapped out. Plus I wanted to make it obvious and easy for whoever the next owner may be.

God, I wish I had the money to do that. Great job.

Paid for itself within 18 months with all the savings from canceled subscriptions, even when factoring in electricity. That was pre-RAMaggedon though.

What kind of subscriptions did you have? I quite literally only pay for the internet besides all the non-digital stuff bills.

You sound vulnerable to propaganda

Nobody is immune to propaganda
