Barney disapproves of this.

They’re charging 100 € to build it, it seems.

I’ll think about but I’ll probably go with having it built for me. They charge 100 € for it which is not a lot when you calculate the cost of the parts. Thanks for the input, though.

Can’t upgrade my older rig, it’s an Acer pre-built and I watched a Youtube video about trying to upgrade it. Guy had to cut something out from the back to make room for the new GPU. Current specs are Geforce GTX 1080 Super and 16 GB of RAM. Runs hot and loud as all hell when I try to do some gaming on it. Regarding this new build, I also want to do some video editing, hence the higher specs.

I just went and added all the parts to the cart and it seems they are charging around 100 € for the build. So not 300-400 € like Telorand estimated. These are Scandinavian, not US prices.

Thank you!

Yeah, I don’t think I want to risk damaging the components. RAM seems to be C16 at 3200.

Thanks for the appraisal. Not surprised that there’s some extra in that price. Building it myself is not an option because I’m clumsy to the extent that I should get it diagnosed. It seems to be the cheapest alternative for me. But generally speaking, is that setup good enough to run older and indie games? At least the case seems to have plenty of fans. My current setup has practically no airflow and the fans are going crazy as soon as I even as much as touch a game.

Thanks for commenting. It won’t be of much help to you, it’s just a Scandinavian website that allows you to pick and mix your parts. Excuse me as I’m trying to hold on to my pseudo-anonymity.

That French guy was just trying to butter them up.

There’s Zotero. I haven’t used it but seems to have a feature called ‘Collect with a click’ which should allow adding bookmarks.

It’s going to be gaymores next.

Its. Teacher is a cat, this checks out.

Flat to not flat in six panels flat. Nice.

Yes, there have been bows that are long, but not like the longbow. As you say, the longbow was used to shoot volleys, while the yumi could also be used on horseback. The longbow had a very heavy draw weight, around 90-120 lbs. That’s the weight you have to pull to get it at full draw. The yumi possibly had a a lower draw weight (although Korean and Mongolian and Turkish composite bows had draw weights of around 100 lbs as well, and they were mainly used on horseback). Again, the yumi has a shorter lower limb which meant it could be used on horseback (and it was) while there is no way a longbow could have. So the longbow and the yumi are very different technically.

FTFY: Longbow was the main battle weapon of the English. Yumi was the main battle weapon of the samurai.

Meh, live and let live.
