This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Alternative perspective: build a solid mid-range PC and keep it updated. Over those same 8 years, you'll spend like half and have a PC that keeps up w/ the latest games, just upgrade when it's getting poor performance.
I've been slowly upgrading my PC since 2010 and have spent about $3k, though I didn't do any gaming the first 5 years. I just upgrade one or two components as they become bottlenecks, and today I'm running a 6650XT w/ Ryzen 5600 CPU, and performance is pretty good for everything I care about (roughly PS5/XBox Series X perf I think).
You're not wrong, I just can't be bothered. I like to just treat it like a console where it's just a one and done new one every X years.
