Did anyone really ask for this?

Who cares for Mash potatoes? KFC is Chicken and Coleslaw. Nothing else

Best of the Decade include Ni no Kuni

Oh man, I am getting LA Noire Flashbacks.

Religion. What would the world be without it?

I hope the simulated mountain is also littered with corpses like the real one is.

I can imagine worse fates for a series.

Nope. I always quite liked the cars design (even though it’s a pretty bland pixar flick). I always think of the headlights as some kinda Nostrils

How could a ‘well-Armed population’ have prevented this? Suicide bombing and hit&run-attacks don’t really give you response time.

No. The Topic was: People that make console-priced PC setups often hide or blatantly ignore hidden costs, just so they can claim it’s cheaper than console when in reality it mostly isn’t. With hidden cost I mean Anything that IS indeed necessary to have run that setup. Reusing Parts, unless you explicitly claim that…

Or I could just play games on my ps4 and use my laptop for what I bought it for: Work.

People as in Consumer

Yes.

Dell gives me an MSRP of 499$ on it cheapest model without controller or games

Hunting. Personal defense. Target shooting. Hand-eye coordination. Appreciation of metallurgical and mechanical craftsmanship, and historical context. All reasons, among many more, that people own guns, even in context where the guns are rarely or never used.

To quote myself:

Not really. I could name at least 3 devices in my general vicinty that I could write this very comment with that is not my PC. And if going by assumptions I can in turn not take the freedom to state something as fact. I am not saying you can’t make good and/or cheap computer. But most of these videos that explicitly…

That’s your argument? Just because it can kill a person, it’s effectiveness doesn’t matter beyond that threshold? We just count a knife, a gun, and an atomic bomb as equal then, no matter factors like range, execution time, force it takes to operate these devices?

No, because we could then easily add 150$ for a monitor, 100$ for a desk, 100$ for a chair, Speaker systems, etc, etc.
You have to define it down to the most basic parts it needs to work. A PC needs an OS to work, and most people are still too afraid of Linux. Also you need Input, otherwise all you have is a box…

And even those are missing some crucial parts like an OS license or Input devices, just so they brag about that it costs as much as a console. And if you call them up on that they excuse it with ‘just use what you already have’. No, it’s tabula rasa, if you compare one to the other, you have to include 100% of parts…
