Should I buy a 1060 ti 4gb to replace my 970?

>>39253344

All you need is a job that pays enough for rent and food then you're good. Work+escapism is how I've lived for about half a decade now.

>>39253887

it activates the almonds

>>39252823
problem is most media is absolute dogshit recently - full of political agenda and lazy cgi money squeezing shit, no one wants to risk and innovate anymore, everything is the same tired formula and the moment you step outside and see the groups of happy people you will want to kys if you have any humanity left inside you, escapism kinda works when you are a teenager but after you grow up a bit you come back from work to an empty home, empty life you have always had

>>39253905
I don't know whether it's worth buying something expensive because I'm probably due a new battlestation anyway. I don't even have an SSD. I just thought the 1060 might tide me over for a while.

>>39253887
No. They are literally the same in terms of performance.

>>39254241
Not the same anon, but the social ramifications hit you hard at 30.
Your body doesn't rebound as it used to, and the opportunities of someone young you don't recognise are gone. By mid-30s of you have nothing happening, your options shrink even further and the hopelessness will consume you.
Not only suicide, but homelessness, and psychiatric commitment.
Still water stagnates. If you don't move, you will rot.

>the thought of having to work ruins my entire week because every day I think "Fuck I have to work in 4 days"
This feel is too real. When I did part-time I could never enjoy the days off because of this. When I set an alarm for the next day I can't sleep.
When I took a week off, everyday was consumed by "fuck only six/five/four more days".
So then I did full-time and it alleviated those problems. It's a five-day sprint, two days rest, five-day sprint, and so on. I lasted six months.

>>39254313

well work isn't that hard in the 1st world unless you have brain problems or have the endurance of a 60 year old man. marriage and kids are even easier, assuming you are not poison by anxiety.

Really in a first world country you can have your cake and eat it to, if you are generally healthy both mentally and physically.

Wow, so you can see what exactly? How 40 years of growing old and alone feels like? With nothing to keep your mind of your past but sensory pleasures that you have likely exhausted because that's all you have done for 20+ years? Yeah, that sounds awesome, I'm sure that won't get soul crushing in your silent moments when you see a happy old couple with grand kids or relies the last time you felt any form of happiness was 10+ years ago. Yeah that is totally not worth the effort to escape.

If you were this aware of the meaningless existence you claimed you would not be a coward in the face of work networking or relationships, you embrace them, you take the time to try and make it work because, hey, nothing matters. But no rather you think everything matters, it locks you in fear, it makes you feel like shit, it makes words from people cut you down and has you falling apart at something as base line simple as working a few days. We need to justify nothing, rationalize nothing, because we get it, the end is always a day away, so we live what we can and do what we can because of that shadow of death.

For the most part I am, but one of my old HS friends is 33, still living at home, and becoming so unhinged that he is sabotaging everything in his life. He's going to be 34 in December and even with infinite time to do what he wants, when he wants, he is more miserable than ever and frankly, it's too late for him, he can't do it, he has about 6 months work experience in his whole life and weighs enough that even booths groan at his sitting, his diabetes is nearing the point that he can't really go a day without getting light headed/crazy and he keeps burning bridges because of it. He keeps pissing off a good friend of ours because all he does is bitch about something and I'm fearful that by next year even I won't be able to handle him, I can help him and sometimes that makes me pour on you guys so sorry for that and the blog post but I rather people avoid hell after seeing it even as a spectator.

>I'm suppose to have a job, be married and have kids

I've actually been extremely depressed because it wasn't really until the past year that I truly started to understand that this is what is essentially expected of everybody. Whether these normals are consciously aware of it or not they basically are driving this to continue to happen. They even pressure others whether through subtle or direct means to do these things.

People bitch and bitch constantly about "the machine" and "the system" yet they don't realize what is truly driving the machine system to continue going on. This realization doesn't just depress me but it actually utterly scares the shit out of me. This is the trap this whole time. This is how government continues to retain its power. It is through normies with their normie behavior.

And the worst part? Not everyone is going to be able to enjoy the escapism forever. Sooner or later you will have to at least appear normal or normal society is going to push you out. Making your life infinitely more harder. Normalcy is hive mind mentality. We are surrounded by nothing but mere borgs that continue to be cogs that run the machine.

Locked myself in the men's room for like two hours, cried and insulted everyone who tried to get me out through the door. I cringe bad when I think about it. Boss got really mad because there was only one stall and he had to shit bad. They told me to take the rest of the day off when I finally stepped out. I left and never came back. They tried to call me a few times but I just turned off my phone and then smashed it against a wall. It stil works but they don't call anymore

You're not supposed to do shit. Why do so many people on this board consinder themselves "redpilled" free thinkers when they still struggle to think beyond the basic expectations of this shitty society. Nobody HAS to do shit! You do what makes you a better and happier person. If what you do doesn't make you feel better about yourself, you're doing it wrong or don't. If what you wanna do is reinforce your unhappiness, you're free to do that too.

Wrong, most robots are absolutely unflexible about their way of thinking and resort to fallacies all the time to protect their ego. Calling people normalfags all the time when they disagree with you is an Ad Hominem. Being a robot and defending this position requires immense ammount of mental gymnastics, I don't see why you so fervently defend robots over normies when robots are far far from being any better.

In the end, we're all imperfect humans who bullshit ourselves every single moment of existence to better cope with our anxiety. Normie, robot, it's all the same fucking thing. Same insecurities, different struggle.

It's not really worth it if you are not the top 30-40% of men. I see my family tree and the amount of problems and conditions they have and wonder is it really worth it to be married and have children.

It's true for CPUs due to Intel doing hardly anything the past few years but it's going to change for now. AMD's improved IPC by 52% going from Excavator to Ryzen and they still have a core count advantage at different price points which will surely make Intel actually do shit. GPUs are far less stagnant despite Nvidia's dominance. In less than 2 years performance improved by 60-70% going from the GTX 980 to GTX 1080, quite different from what happened with CPUs.

I've been NEET before and it was hell. It gave me no sense of accomplishment or satisfaction. My actions meant nothing. I was a non-person. When I work I genuinely feel good about myself, knowing that I'm contributing back to the society that has provided me with the games, anime, movies, and all the other media I love. People come to me for help and value my thoughts, instead of my best social interaction coming from here, where you're pissing in an ocean of piss.

tl;dr some of us want to be loved and valued

I'm not worried about the marriage/kids/career meme. My father did all of that and was still the most miserable person I've ever met, told me never to follow him. We had the big house, the boat, the cars everything still wasn't enough. I'm going to live a simple life I just need to find a fucking job that will pay enough to move out. Like all I need is 35k - 40k a year and I'm good.
