This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm still rocking the 4790K. It's been a damn good CPU.

My computer needs an upgrade now, but really what's happening is I'm getting GPU bottlenecked, the CPU is still okay actually.

Upgrade the GPU, reveal the CPU bottleneck.

That's where I was a couple years ago. Originally, I had an R9 290. Amazing card circa 2014, but its 4 GB of VRAM aged it pretty badly by 2020. Now I've got a 4070, which is way more than good enough for the 1080p60 that I run at. I'll upgrade the rest of the PC to match the GPU a little better in the future, but for right now, I don't need to. Except maybe for Stellaris.

But I just ripped a bunch of my old PS2 games to my PC because I felt like revisiting them. And my PS2 is toast. RIP, old friend. :(
