@davatron5000 @andybelldesign Did I recall seeing a photo of a gorgeous PC you have built with snazzy yellow cable/piping?
Or was that just the dream I had that started this whole adventure.
@davatron5000 @andybelldesign ha ha ha.
Sure, when I run npm, I bring out the big guns.
Thanks Uncle Dave. This is most helpful.

@sil The flamboyant visual nerdery down this rabbit hole has come as a bit if a surprise to me. Glass cases and colour coordinated cabling, and visible liquid cooling with coordinated rgb led lighting...
oh my!
oh my!
@stevecomrie @davatron5000 @andybelldesign Heh. So many games available on Steam juuuust about run on my 2017 MBP (which is more than adequate for all my other needs).
It's so disappointing.

@stevecomrie Oh good idea.
Dear @sarah_edo, please can you arrange for @Netlify to buy me a top of the range gaming PC so that I can more efficiently talk to you on Slack?
Nothing fancy. Just something like this:

@davatron5000 @andybelldesign 1. Would love to be mobile, but happy to go desktop.
2. Just for gaming. I use my MPB with a nice 4k LG monitor for work, and PS4 for some games. But have resigned myself to never being able to play good city building / strategy games on my MBP.

@kr8n3r It never occurred to me that external GPU was an option.
Hmmm. Another option to research.

@bhenbe Ha. I've never actually played WoW.
I was mildly obsessed with Warcraft 2 once upon a time though.

@yorksworths Decision made. Now, where did I leave that cassette player...?
@phunkren Thanks Andrew! So you'd say worth building rather than buying pre-built? (I prefer the idea of a project and future upgradability TBH)
@stevecomrie Yeah, I want to try to stay well below that. This will not be a work machine, but purely for gaming. Which is likely to be more demanding that the requirements I have for work, but harder to justify big bucks.
@stevecomrie Thanks Steve. This is helpful. I'm noticing that one can spend anywhere for £300 to £1000000000 and I'm very out of touch.
@StuRobson @toddmotto 16mb of RAM? Wow. High roller!
I had 4mb. A few years later I splashed out £200 to add another 4mb.
I assume that these are still the sort of specifications I should aim for in a gaming machine.

@andybelldesign @davatron5000 That's what I was thinking.
@StuRobson @toddmotto Wow. My first every computer was from Time, IIRC!

I'm thinking about building or buying a PC for gaming.
I've not owned or considered PCs for a very long time.
I don't want to break the bank, but I don want something viable that I can perhaps upgrade over time.
Any tips?

Oi, human. Just what the hell is this?
I hope you understand it degrades us both.

@CodeFoodPixels @nejsconf Ha ha. I guess you had to be there. 😉

@ksylor Since Netlify is a domain reseller rather than a registrar, you can’t transfer your existing domains in to Netlify. You can point your domains to us though. (and you can transfer out 😶)
Check out docs for custom domains.
