I really need a laptop but 1, I dont have the money and 2 parents dont have the money

No one has the money
Never, ever go cheap on a laptop. It will always have issues.

That said, if it's not essential to be mobile, you can build your own PC for fairly cheap, at least compared to a laptop. Especially if you aren't gaming on it.

Yeah, that's my issue.

Me: "Hey Mom, Dad, I'm a functional adult and I buy my own **** all year, so I think we're a little past the spending-a-bunch-of-money-for-Christmas thing now. I don't need anything, really."

Them: "Okay honey."

Also Them: "Here's $400 of clothes!"


:glare:
hey man, I wouldnt complain about getting 400 bucks worth of cloths, Id take that **** any day

Me? oh no. I was never with it.
This reminds me of this time in math class. We all have assigned seats, so I had to sit next to this girl. I never talked to her, because I really didn't want to, and then one day she randomly asked me if I had a Snapchat. I told her I didn't. She asked if I had Twitter, or Instagram. I said no to those two as well. She then started asking me if I had listened to certain songs, and I had never heard those songs names, so I said no to all of those as well. She then asked me if I even had a phone. I said no. She then proceeded to look at me like I was detached from society, and I can't blame her.

...I don't know why that reminded me of all of that.

I know. I know.

My parents and I have had a strained relationship over their amassed wealth so the things I complain about sound ridiculous. I make a point to build my own finances and stay independent of their money, but then they throw their money at me anyway as a substitute for the genuine affection we lack. It's almost always something superfluous that I'll never want or use because they get me things they think I should want, rather than the things I actually want. Right now, all I want is enough capital to invest in a recording studio of our own to start fast-tracking videos. But that's just "the video thing" to them, so I'll probably get dress shirts for the job I don't have and like tickets to a trip on some famous dude's yacht.

:glare:

It's always greener grass elsewhere, I know.

Well, if you go strictly used and take a 7200RPM HDD instead of a SSD, you could get a functioning Win10 machine built for like $150. It would be bare minimum with no dedicated GPU, but that's the sort of stuff I did in college.

Problem is Win10 itself costs $100, so unless you're comfortable using Linux or pirating Windows ripping a copy of Win7 off an old discarded PC, then you're looking at more than that. So like I said, it's cheap comparatively with Laptops and other pre-built PCs.

Now, someone like me that cant get a job no matter what, ya think I have 150 to spare? Adding on win10 onto that price? Hell, after I get animal crossing, I aint touching my account for a LONG time because Im saving money for emergencys

I want That Grass Is Greener in the TCG back...

Harpie's Feather Duster too. And Cyber Jar. Though I don't want Shock Master back despite loving to use it quite well. The main deck it fits the most is a counter/negation deck anyway.

It's a nice day when Tyler drops two unfinished tracks and they still sound great.

Best Interest is definitely IGOR, though Group B sounds like something off of Earl's Some Rap Songs.

I don't claim to know what you have or don't have. This is all I said:

Was simply offering advice in case a computer is necessary and you needed it as cheap as possible. That is basically as cheap as possible. Just tryin' to help.

Because mom's too sentimental to make Christmas presents transactions, I'm too prideful to actually take it and they don't believe my channel will actually amount to much.

If they did offer it I'm not sure if I would accept it. If I did, they could always hold that investment over me as a "remember how we were the reason you were able to do this?" thing.

But hey, that's what Patreon's for.

Sorry i got testy but yeah, to me cheap would be a laptop that has everything on it already that I dont have to buy extra stuff for. I had a good laptop that was below 200 bucks that my parents bout me years ago and the dude lasted for years. Asking for a laptop now is out of the question so Ill never get one in this life time. At least I have enough in my account to get animal crossing

My mom always feels guilty around Christmas because I'm "hard to shop for" and he always spends more money on my sisters then on me. She always ends up apologizing for it.

All the while she could just send me a Christmas card and I'd be satisfied. The thing that makes me hard to shop for is that I never ask for much, while my sisters have no shortage of requests this time of year.

I had all but one tribute left when you arrived, a few other people also showed up late, and I couldn't make space for everyone's picks. I'll tag you next time I do this.
Thanks! Don't forget to tag me.
Lemme know if another Hunger Games arrives next time.

Meme Man (Surreal Memes)
Dedede (Kirby)
Rathalos (Monster Hunter)
I know I already done this.
Thanks for telling me.

Gift Cards are meh to me. Money is worse. I like regular cards and gifts in general. Money to me feels like you're not trying to think of what would be nice. Clothes are great cause it means I have nice stuff to wear, so I won't feel cold. Shirts I wear at different times, like when I got for my dentist appointment...

To my mom this is code for "I have no idea what your interests are so here are Marvel comics themed clothes"

...I guess that's just what happens when most if not all of your interests are japanese things that aren't readily available in a local/cheap shop.

When you're a little one, you pretty much want everything that seems remotely cool. You're watching some Spongebob, and suddenly, this ultra cool toy from a totally radical and realistic commercial comes up, and you want it. Only that's what it's like from every kids channel around the holidays, so all these kids want every little thing.

Only for it all to be in the unplayed toys corner of your room.

When you mature, you can determine what you truly want and need, so Christmas isn't as special when it comes to gifts.

I for one was more excited for the family aspect of the season over the presents for the first time ever this year.
