I'd love to figure out how to shrink the font a bit. Right now I feel like I'm reading one of those big print books, and I don't really like it.

I disagree. Going public hasn't served any tech company, except the founders, well. The changes announced thus far, are only the icing on the cake for what's to come. They pretty clearly don't have good management, or good decision making capabilities either. I think Reddit's on a rather fast descent to it's nadir.

Buy more than you need, is the lesson I've learnt. Especially power, I have an 850 as well, but I sort of wish I bought a 1000W, the way things are going.

To echo everyone else, make sure to use PCpartpicker. It's actually a fairly simple thing to do, I was surprised by how few problems I had my first time. Watch lots of youtube first, like how do I install the processor into the motherboard, how do I wire everything up. Definitely watch a few assemblies before attempting your own. If you do your homework, it's like a 2 beer activity honestly. I started about 4pm and was eating supper with the family while Windows updated.

VR hasn't caught on as much as I thought it would. Using VR/Augmented reality is a hard thing to do for a long period of time. I get really motion sick from my PSVR after about 20 minutes. I know the tech has come a long way since then, but there's some pretty significant hurdles to overcome between here and mass adoption. That's even ignoring the buy in factor, which is a non-starter north of say $1k (maybe $1,500 if it's more like an actual standalone computer).

I hope all the skids and the power hungry mods with agendas stay on Reddit, while all the normal people migrate over here. Wishful thinking...

For real. I'm so sick of mod drama. 99% of the time, any sub drama boiled down to a mod freaking out over X

I think social media is a dead stick. I can't put in words what's next, but it's both scarier and more amazing. Whatever it is. But we are basically in 2006/2007 all over again, where everything we are used to is being snatched away from us.

Right on! I'll have to check them out, thanks!
