A little more info
I'm between prebuilt or not rn. I'm daunted by building one myself but if it saves enough money I probably can
My budget is unknown but I'm expecting around $1,000 to... Maybe $2,000 USD maximum. Idk how much would be covered by Christmas
I'm looking for something better than what I have rn, which shouldn't be hard + I can easily upgrade a desktop
Again, thanks! The advice I've gotten has been very helpful
TL;DR: I'm thinking about asking for a desktop computer for Christmas and I kinda need some advice
For the past 5-6 years, the practicality of a laptop has been worth the drawbacks. Now, as I start to do things which require more power from a computer, it seems to be becoming a bottleneck rather than freeing.
I know very little about things like motherboards, power supplies, anything AMD, and desktops in general 
so I figure it's not worth building one from scratch for me
What's a good desktop? I'm looking to get something better than my laptop (16 gb RAM, i7-12700…k?, laptop RTX 3060, 1 TB SSD) and I have a lot of money saved from never participating in capitalism (I don't want to spend a butt load of $$$ on this though).
Does anyone have any advice? Should I get a prebuilt? Assemble it myself? Try AMD parts (not sure about this though)?
Just trying here before I dive into… Reddit

Having watched the show ~20 times, I can confirm this
i just watched avatar: the last airbender for the first time. here’s my thoughts:
it meets or exceeds the minimum acceptable standard

I'm looking for a new monitor for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations, specific or not?
I was thinking OLED, 1440p (both screens I have rn are 1080p) (I'm not sure my computer would do well on 4k), but I'm having a hard time finding one that looks good.
My favorite D&D trope at the table is pretending modern works exist in game, but as a different medium, like the play "ultimate mortem" (Die Hard), or Shakespeare just being canon because it's time period accurate
Remember when toaks said "it's toaksin' time" and then toaked all over the place
Take 3: it finally works... Alright with an added module which automatically launches the minecart if it arrives and the chest is empty. Actually this design sucks but it's functional enough for what I need
Success!
Worked on it more, and a random bug broke the entire working machine. It needs to be fixed
No joy quite like saying "I should make a super smelter!", starting to work on it, getting lost on the redstone, going into a test world, testing ideas, getting lost on ideas, looking up tutorials, tutorials are way too complicated or way too simple, and giving up on the idea

Got to play Helldivers 2 with one of my good friends last night and I joined his game not knowing that it was a helldive on bots
Difficulty has changed a lot since I last played helldive I guess (I was there for Malevelon Creek) but it was actually really fun. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was easy, but there were only a few moments where we were fully overwhelmed.
I seriously love HD2. Nothing quite like taking out a base with 2 bullets and no grenades, stratagems, or stims

Yay! New scratch upda—
AI? Really? AI? They want to inspire creativity and they are including AI? How on earth will AI help kids create? If anything, it will stop the learning process because, instead of creating art or code that is creative and requires skill, kids will just write a prompt.
in case you missed it
a new position on the scratch foundation’s website went up recently, and the job description confirms that scratch 4.0 is in development. says it’ll feature a “re-imagined online community and creative ai”… whatever that means
no word of a release date, but that’s understandable. i’m actually kind of excited for this, i feel like scratch’s online community hasn’t been working super well recently so hopefully this’ll fix some of those issues. as for the ai thing… please no. so many things can go wrong with that…
New day, getting my braces off, seeing my gf, nothing could drag me down right now!
