Shoes? Maybe Reeboks?
Edit: I am appalled by how many people know the term aglet.
Hi hi

This made me actually just snort in bed, laughing, and woke up my partner.
I mean, let’s be real: it’s a silly joke and I remember that episode. But, many influences, including ZP and TB have explained why desktop isn’t so much a master race, but rather the platform that can do it all, better, because it’s the only one that you can seriously upgrade, is fully modular, and is doing fully multi purpose. Pcmr people spend way more money on their pc because you CAN get all these things, and they WANT to. And, you don’t have to buy the same games over and over.
I dunno, master race is obviously tongue in check, but it’s definitely my primary and home platform because of these benefits and many more.
128gb here. I sit constantly between 40 and 70gb in use. Heavy multitasking between Internet, professional, gaming, and creative outlets can sometimes push near 90.
16 was the pcmr standard in 2010, but is a complete joke now. 32g is the new 8gb now. “Casual” pc usage is way, WAY heavier now: nobody just uses a computer for only one thing anymore, they use it for multi-window browsing, music, and YouTube, along with the new standard of everybody plays games and nobody wants to close shit just to play a game.
Games are heavierweight and the only reason it’s as low requirement as they are is because of console peasants. CS2 is like 100gb storage, up from the laughable ~2gb in csgo. That’s just not how the world works anymore. The economy has chosen ease of development and priority on graphical fidelity over deep design complexity. Shit; Starfield is basically just a 200gb graphics mod of Morrowind.
And then you have heavy users like us, who actually use bleeding edge functions, who have grown up wanting better and more, experimenting and not trusting and wanting to pay cloud. Despite the neon gamer rog chrome and black image, I’d be willing to bet almost every person here in this thread has at least one HDD currently in use (take note of these demographics: fediverse, English speaking, pcmr, aware of RAM) - and the reason is because they’re cheap, fairly reliable storage and we all ain’t made of money. Ironic because of the amount of RAM being discussed.
32GB has been the new 16GB for probably five years, and realistically, 64GB is actually what you should be getting when you upgrade/make a new build.
Reason: 64GB, right this minute, is one double above “just cutting it”.
