As if they weren't already cancelled, AOC and Omar are both now confirmed gamers.
She was playing with them on stream.

Tbh Lee Carter is evidence of the value of building out the bench. State and local level electeds can attack national politicians without the same sort of pushback from their collegues.
No? He's an elected official who's actually managed to do good shit despite his minor status as like the only leftist in his state house.
I always got him confused with Joshua for Congress (tiktok truck driver candidate), who was a grift
Bland lookin white boys i guess
perhaps, although i remember his campaign being pretty horrible at allocating funds for things that matter and not for tablets for the leadership
and not for tablets for the leadership
People need computers to work. In that case the options were a new computer, or a new "keyboard"* for a Surface Book. The keyboard was cheaper.
* It has more shit in it that makes the computer faster.
sure, again that compared to the paltry amount he spent on ads was pretty pathetic
campaigns need tech to run, but if they don't put the money towards winning it's a waste of money in an already crowded race, and where Bernie endorsed a GND candidate who had been an established local politician with grassroots support who wasn't this guy
Absolutely they didn't spend enough on ads, but that has nothing to do with the computer. They just didn't know how to run a campaign.
The woman Bernie endorsed is some fauxgressive neolib.
idk, seemed emblematic enough to me of their incompetence, but yeah i agree with you in general
I only post using a modified Nintendo Virtual Boy console that I wired directly into my neighbor's DSL connection using Free Trade HDMI cable as a conduit and a garage sized breadboard router made from recycled components.
imagine being such a lib that you dont emulate tonal signals through a rotorphone as your sole method of internet access because you have to rely on a handheld screen output to read theory. smh my head
imagine not bonking a fash with a big stick, dragging his ass to your cave, and force him to access the internet on your behalf
heck yeah, comrade, bonk that fash into rehabilitation.
or death, whichever, im not picky
SSD is becoming the new standard, it's down to like $100/TB. Even 3 years ago it was still 10x that expensive.
It doesn't even have anti-cheat or anything and it's Unity (IIRC). There's nothing stopping the game from Proton'ing.
What does she need the computer for? She doesn't game normally, does she? You could play among us and discord on an old laptop running windows xp. Is she getting into streaming?
I have a secret desire to be represented in government by someone with a well established stream. They'll be speedrunning minecraft, raging at falling in lava, thank someone for a $5 donation and then go, "yeah, my primary opponent is a fucking loser"
For sure, I was there watching and enjoying it. I just feel like she and her team wouldn't spend $1200 on a PC for that stream alone when a crappy laptop with a good internet connection would have sufficed. I'm curious if it's an investment in regular streams. I doubt that she has a nice desktop with the LEDs just sitting around because she doesn't strike me as a g*mer. I stan Ilhan and feel like it would have come up before.
Disappointing - no Ilhan Dark Souls playthrough in the foreseeable future.
That specific one comes out to around $450. It looks to be about a $2500 rig (almost $1000 of that just being SSD storage). Honestly not too bad for a high end computer. I saved up and bought myself one like that and I'm just a pizza guy. I also use my computer a lot though and it'll last me at least a decade.
I messed around with overclocking, then quickly realized that a 5% performance bump is not necessary and comes at the cost of component lifespan and power consumption. Stock is always more than enough (unless it's like a core 2 duo or something).
You don't even notice over clocking. It's just nerd number wars
That heavily depends on the processor and application. Back in the DDR3 days, you could easily see a 50% higher frame rate from an overclock. Even now gpu overclocking has similar results, although it's a bit more involved.
It's probably still overkill lol. I only upgraded because a family member wanted my old one and I basically got a 50% discount on a new one with how much they paid me. That one was an fx-8350 with a 290x I think? Solid rig even up until I sold it.
My current one has a 5700xt in it and it's solid. Can run everything on max at 100+ fps most of the time (on a refurbished 1440p monitor)
My favourite part of this is how expensive the rest of the rig is with that shitty low-end GPU.
Compared to the rest it's cheap but can you really say it's shitty and low-end? It's comparable to 1080 right?
Somewhat worse, probably more like the 980ti/1070. the 60 series is considered the low end option of the generation.
Lee Carter's refusal to let go of this beef with a podcaster over a joke is actually really fucking stupid but trying to resurrect it 5 months later is actually REALLY fucking stupid.
Is there a layer to this I'm missing? I vaguely remember Felix and Lee getting mad at each other for some asinine reason but I don't remember it having anything to do with gaming computers.
Lee bought his girlfriend a new Surface laptop for like $600 because her previous one's keyboard broke.
I think you're confusing Lee Carter and Joshua4Congress: https://twitter.com/Joshua4Workers/status/1261207102304862208?lang=en
Lee is our good ginger boy, stop confusing him with joshua4congress :screm3:
