    It was going to be the P775DM2 (I'm supplementing to it) but now it'll be a P870DM2 with what's here right now.

    Though I don't know what's going to happen after Q937 and Bloodhawk have their fight. xD (They claim I'm going to be dead like Aerith)

    @D2 Ultima

    I used to play Final Fantasy Tactics back in the day and I loved it so much

    I have lost track of how many FF games were out since then

    what do you recommend me to buy? can i buy the latest and still be able to understand what the heck is going on? which is the latest one anyway

    humblexcited is a word
    Tactics is really different from the default final fantasy games, but I'll be damned if it isn't much fun. I love those kinds of games.

    FF games don't generally tie into each other's stories. I suggest Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD remaster (and get the Untitled Project X mod), Final Fantasy VIII, and if you are into MMOs for some reason, FF XIV is a good choice. FF XV is the latest one but it isn't on PC yet. But believe me, when it is... 120Hz FF LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Barring knowledge of Japanese, it is actually perfectly playable once you've figured out which characters represent which spell ...

    I'm sorry, @Phoenix... I burnt most of my money on a G502 (got it for US$50!) and a few new games on Steam, what with the sales now...

    Come January 10, the first thing I'll do is donate $20 to this.

    G502 good buy. One of these days though I'll find an upgrade to the G900, and get the G933 headset. Or whatever the newer stuff is by the time I can upgrade haha.

    D2Ultima is one of finest people I've ever talked to on a hardware forum. I'd donate in a heartbeat if I had the money but sadly, University taxes come first and that's where my money is going come this January.

    Well, from what I remember, I was trying to explain to a guy that PWM is generally bad for the eyes over several threads at which point he created a thread asking about it. I linked him a wikipedia article about what PWM is and told him that "using google is not hard". Next thing I know, 2 dozen points and perma ban.

    Ha. Some of those mods are ridiculous. I got 2 points applied to me because I told a user who made like 7 different threads asking the same question, each one after we told him it's a bad idea, as if making new threads would elicit different answers from the forum until he heard what he wanted to hear, to just buy it, and if he ran into any problems and made any threads about it I'd personally contact every single mod with links to all the threads he made where he was warned so they could shut down any new threads he would make. Apparently this was "abusive behaviour", for threatening to report him.

    Well, you're welcome here. You certainly won't get banned for that.

    Yeah, LTT is not really a positive place. Just for giggles, I revisited my profile and there was a small discussion about a week later. Apparently, some people really don't like my strong opinions about chromebooks and i5s bottlenecking 1070/1080 GPUs. Oh well.

    I think I'll probably stay here awhile. I spent the last month and a half at HardwareBG.com but my account password got lost and there is no recovery function xD.

    It's weird how half the people at LTT like me and half hate me. Feels strange.

    @D2 Ultima man why didn't you tell me this happened to you? I really wish that I could help you out, but my own T420s is failing me, so I cannot really spare any money for you, I really hope everything works out for you :)

    You can always PM me if you want to ask me anything :)

    well I haven't been much on this forum, since it doesn't really need my help as much as LTT does, when I am here I mostly just lurk. I don't think this forum really needs another guy that fixes laptops :D

    It looks like I will get banned from LTT soon, people love to report me for basically nothing. People report me for being a fanboy, because of my profile pic, but I recommend other brands more than I recommend ThinkPads and Lenovo's, I have been reported for being a hater, because I showed the flaws in a laptop.. So I might switch to this site.

    Ps. I am keeping my T420s until it dies, it just keeps fighting, everytime I think it is soon dead it comes to life again, when it dies I am going to get a used W series ThinkPad or P series or maybe a Dell Precision. :D

    Oh well enough of my rambling. I wish the best for you :)

    Yeah, I have to be "very" careful on that forum. It's why I rarely go hunting for posts, I usually just wait until someone says something lol. There's too many Razer fanboys on that place. The other day some dude asked Pendragon how much HIDevolution pays him to recommend them. I said we recommend what's good... he then asked for my employee number. Lel.

    Good luck! And thank you! I'd rather you get a Thinkpad instead of Dell. The whole recent fiasco with Alienware just makes me want them to have no business unless 100% necessary, honestly.

    very good points, Dell has been a bit unstable and yes LTT has a ton of Razer fanboys. I hope that some community would do something like this to me if I ever needed it. You deserve this man, you have helped a lot of people and you are a nice person.

    THERE'S A RAZER SUB-FORUM?

    Oh wait, I remember... I went there once... a long time ago.

    Oh dude they go full retard on LTT sometimes. Linus uses it, so it must be really good. They outright ignore every single flaw and then report me for showing proof of all the flaws with them.
    I have looked at the razer sub here, but it doesn't seem that bad compared to what I am used to...

    @Phoenix

    A nice $20 donation from LoOpitO

    He had a small refund due from his EVOC P870DM3 order, and decided to donate it instead of taking the money himself. You can't get better than that!

    - $20 sent to [email protected] (7A122727KK917261X)

    The Razer sub-forum here is very civilized and quite open-minded actually. I can easily see myself having a discussion whereas LTT Razer lovers are, well, one of a kind.

    The dangers of trying to communicate with stupid people en masse should never be underestimated. A few angry squirrels is nothing to be afraid of. You can just stomp on them once and they're dead. No fuss, no muss. But, hundreds of angry squirrels is good reason for avoidance. They may not be the "sharpest tools in the shed" but they do have sharp teeth and they seem to enjoy hearing the sound of their own chatter.

    Well, unlike here where the Blade 14's 1060 underperforming was investigated and complained about, on LTT, the users and even Linus himself just go "It's small so it's okay to run slower and as hot as an oven".
