Even though the game runs at an extremely low FPS, the craziest thing about this whole situation is that it has not even been one month since the game has launched, the progress is insanely fast.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 manages to run on PC using an emulator months after the game comes out

As the title says, my father almost destroyed my $1,300 PC. Now what?

Here’s the backstory: On Saturday, I worked a 10.5 hours shift and stayed up until 3:30 AM, so I slept in until noon the next day. My father and stepmother returned from Costco while I was showering; he called out a few times for me to come help carry the groceries inside. I said OK to him. While I was brushing my teeth after my shower, he shouted from outside the door that he’d been waiting 50 minutes and told me to hurry up. I thought to myself that the groceries could have been moved in the time he spent waiting for me, but I quickly rinsed my mouth and got ready to go out. However, by the time I opened the door, he had already grabbed my PC and smashed it against the floor and the desk several times.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I, (17M, Senior), bought this PC with money I earned from my part-time job and had been using it for about ten months. After examine, found out the case badly deformed in several places, my desk was warped and tilted to one side, and there were dents in the floor.

Fortunately, the computer still works fine; it runs FurMark (stress GPU), AIDA64 (stress FPU), and 3DMark (Time Spy Extreme) without problems for now.

Replacing the desk and case would cost around $400. However, he likely won't pay for it because he has done this kind of stuff a few years ago when he destroyed my phone and a Dell laptop (i5 11300H), and then just said, "That's what you get for playing on the computer all day."

In the end, I just hope everyone has good parents.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been experiencing this for a long time, and I wasn’t sure where to post it, so I decided to share it here.
For years, I dreamed of having a high-end gaming setup like the one I have now. Before building this PC, I genuinely enjoyed almost every game I played. I was always excited to try new games. Even on my old PC, where I had to play at low settings with 40–50 FPS, I feel like I enjoyed gaming much more than I do now.
Now I can play almost every game at 1440p on my OLED monitor, above 120 FPS, with amazing visuals and features like path tracing. But for some reason, I can’t connect with games anymore. Games that I used to play for hours now start boring me after a short time.
I thought maybe the problem was my PC, so I bought a PS5. At first, going for Platinum trophies was actually really fun. But after getting 17 Platinum trophies, I started feeling the same way again. I don’t even feel like buying games on PC anymore. I buy almost every game on PS5 because I feel like my goal is just to get the Platinum trophy. It feels less like I’m enjoying a game and more like I’m completing a task. Sometimes I even feel like I’m playing games like a robot.
There are times when I want to play something, but when I sit in front of my PC, I just don’t feel like launching any game. Some days, I don’t even feel like turning on my PC.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Did I just grow out of gaming, or is there something else behind this feeling? If you’ve gone through the same thing, what helped you enjoy gaming again?

My local Walmart has a 5090 for some reason. Barcode shows out of stock and it's not available in store or online for delivery. Fingers crossed an unknowing employee puts a yellow sticker on it at some point lol

Edit: This post was never about the price, just the fact there is a 5090 sitting on the shelf at Walmart. Ignore the price tag. Price check was $4699.99.

Update 9/24/26: Stopped before work, still there. Price is now $4849.99

I get that the games need better hardware to dun better, but who are they really making the game for if you need a 6000$ GPU at this point

I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

Mine is definitely snippet tool. So useful

What is it? And is it rare?

Running without emulation via AnyPS5 basically. Not only Emulators are developing fast now but even a project like AnyPS5 are developing fast too

(The game Run on Windows through AnyPS5. The game's own x86-64 code runs directly on your CPU with no CPU emulation. The PS5 system libraries and GPU commands are reimplemented through a compatibility layer, similar to Wine and DXVK)

Sony on panic mode now

What’s the lowest we’ve seen one of these go for?

Thinking of getting foot pedals for everyday use & gaming. Just wondering what kind of uses you would have them for!

Edit: boundeded* thanks for educating me

The game looks absolutely stunning. With everything set to extreme, full ray tracing, no ai trickery and native 4k, I'm hitting minimum 80-100fps.

Unbelievably, they say that a 1650 runs at 1080p 60fps. That's a 4gb card that can be bought for £30 if you shop around!

This just shows that it is possible to make games look beautiful for those of us with high end systems without destroying performance for people with older setups.

If so:

1. Why?

2. How does it work for you?

Like the title says the efer traded the system i built for him (r5 3600 32g ddr4 2400mt 5700xt) for a bike that needs a new battery and charger. Should I be mad at this? Once I gave it to him its his to do with what he will but he got ripped off and won't see it. Just keeps saying "the bike is more expensive" I would agree but he cant even ride it without putting more money into it when I built that system for next to nothing. I did almost identical systems for him and his sister (sister got a r5 5500) with the intention of upgrading every Xmas as needed. I still intend on upgrading his sister (she's getting faster ram, a 5800x and a 4060) as she uses hers every day but I dont even want to get him anything more then a damn football after him basically giving that system away.

Thoughts?
