I dont play a lot of chess and I'm bad at it but I recommend playing chess puzzles or timed chess. If it helps, just think of it as a mini skermish on one area of the "map".

While there is competitive chess, I think the advantage it has over most things is that many people know how to play and that most of the time its a casual background game. Like you aren't trying to win, you are trying to not lose.

When someone is playing at a house party, it's so much fun to make wierd faces after they played a move or so.

Yeah... everytime I see it in movies I kinda cringe. However it still is an effective narrative tool to say that the person is a stategist or is in a higher tax bracket ( or honestly any quality that the common viewer doesn't have). Even so, I wish writers would stop doing this.

I apologize if my recommendations are not what you are looking for but have you tried:

Disco Elysium? Cuz that game blew my fucking mind. I voice acting and characters are superb.

Signalis. Its such a lovely artsy game thats like resident evil but more story driven imo (less survival).

I love poe2 with wasd movement. I beg you to try it out. It was something i was hesitant at first but now I wish all arpg's had this feature.

Kenshi is also a great option but I don't think its for everyone. Still recommend it though cuz the world is very mysterious in first playthrough.

We have one, it's called Donald Trump. Every time he lies, his penis shrinks.

I think for ML and stuff, I am currently waiting for the release of the 24gb intel battlemage cards.

Our college has a lot of alienware aurora r7's and i think its a pretty okay sized case. Like the ones we have are loaded with 4090's, so I assume you should be fine. If you are upgrading anything, you should make sure your powersupply covers the requirements.

I've never tinkered with alienware but two of my friends had issues trying to upgrade cpus because the bolts and screws were installed super tight. Maybe you wont have this issue. Best of luck hope this helps :]

Omg I remember watching those youtube trailers on repeat as a kid. It looked so cool and made so much sense to combine parkour and fps. Never got to play it though :/ I don't think I have ever been as hyped for anything after Brink.

I think I have a similar experience, just a few years off.I didn't grow up with nes or snes but my parents did. Took me a while to find out that my parents used to be gamers because during childhood, gaming was basically banned. I didn't learn until later on in life that the reason why it was banned was because it was tooooo addicting (for them lol) like my mom sold her entire snes collection and my dad just hid his sega genesis and nomad. Gaming only picked up for me when I got my first computer. After a decade of multiplayer gaming, I'm finally starting to play games that I had missed out during my childhood and let me tell you, holy shit these games are fun. Would life be any different if I had access to these consoles growing up? Probably, but either way I am sure I would still have fun.

Whenever both of my parents retire, Im gonna setup my parents consoles ( will prob emulate snes cuz its too expensive to buy) and be like "You cant die yet mom/dad, you're gonna have to beat all these games in your library lol".

Sorry just woke up (holy smokes theres so many new comments maybe this was answered). You want to plug it into the gpu. Its a common/uncommon mistake new people do. But hey have fun when you get all the parts! I hope all these comments help, its been a while since I have last built a computer.

just eyeballin the specs it looks alright - like idrk if its all compatible I assume they are. I would get more ram if possible, I think 32 is gonna be the standard soon if not now (therefore if you want to future proof maybe get more).

Also get more fans. I've heard that there are noctua clones (or something else ) that have been doing well but I can remember the name.

Get a ups - dont want to have your computer fry during a storm.

Maybe increase powersupply because overtime they will lose there capability( I dont know what its called exactly but basically over time it will decrease in output).

Oh shit I just noticed, do you have a cpu cooler? DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON THIS. Im pretty sure ryzen7 doesnt come with a heatsink but if it does, chances are its mid. Ive only built with air coolers never tried AIO liquid coolers so I cant say much about them.

You "could" buy stuff used but like since this is your first pc I would try getting everything new. Also, new stuff "can" sometimes come outta the box broken (it just happens sometimes) so keep that in mind. But overall, yeah have fun :] I assume you are also getting a gaming monitor so make sure you set the refresh rate in os settings! Also dont plug in displayport or hdmi cable into motherboard. Sorry for the long text but again have fun!!

THERMAL PASTE- dont need to be too fancy but do shop around.

Also if you do end up getting more fans, you might need a fan controller. I do not know if your motherboard has enough fan ports. Do keep this in mind ~ it sucks to go back to a store to buy more stuff.

idk if youtube links are allowed but if you haven't seen it already, please look up black dynamite vs nixon. I will cheer for you.

I might have a stupid answer but like what I'm thinking (I'm 100% just guessing) is that you still kinda move around ( like rolling from side to side or scratching your ass ) when you sleep. So therefore, maybe your brain is probably somewhat active - like you are doing more than just subconsiously breathing and sleeping like a dead body. Thennnnn, maybe you are stroking it or maybe its just your brain sending signals to your thingy with out you stroking it. Maybe it's all in your head.

However, if you're pumping it then I am sure you would notice it and wake up. Im saying all this because I recently had a dream where I was in a fight and i literally kicked the wall next to my bed as hard as I could. IT FUCKING HURT. I aimed for his neck...
