Mature PC's vs Manchild PC's 2016-10-06 01:53:30


Did you know there is a difference type of hardware and software a person's computer is using determines said individual's maturity? Let's rap for a minute.

A mature person houses their components within a sleek, single-colored, and quiet computer case. The size varies based on their needs; they never buy a case based on size unless they absolutely need to work with E-ATX form-factor (and it's usually for work purposes). Example of a mature computer case.

The manchild buys a case with a loud color (neon green) and installs LED fans inside of the case. Their case was marketed as a "gaming" tower which was "engineered" to give them an FPS through maximizing air-flow. The gaymer cases also implement mesh metal and over-sized plastic moldings on the edges of the case. More often than not, the manchild will vandalize the case with chassis stickers he got from his Nvidia video card, or in extreme cases, will plaster the case with stickers of unfunny memes and slogans. Example of a manchild's computer case. Or in very severe cases, their cases will look like this.

If a mature person needs to spend an exorbitant amount of deniro on a motherboard, then they will opt for enterprise tier hardware used for servers such as this. Or if they want to get an aesthetically pleasing mobo, they'll get this sexy thing.

The manchild will purchase a motherboard that, yet again, was marketed as "gamer" hardware. Gaymer motherboards are $300+ snake oil. The heatsinks on the Northbridge and Southbridge are colorful like a Fisher Price toy, or it will implement some gay ass designs.

A mature person will use DIMM modules with no heat-spreaders. They understand that having extra baggage on their RAM is detrimental and will compromise the integrity of their build. The only time a mature person would ever use RAM with heatspreaders is through ECC modules, which are mandatory to use on server-grade motherboards. In addition, a mature person understands the limits of RAM and will never buy more than 16GB, nor would they ever dream of overclocking their modules.

The manchild will get RAM with oversized heatspreaders that look like toys for toddlers. Once again, they have fallen for the hype and marketing. They will believe that the size of spreaders help dissipate heat and will assist in rendering "more colors". Examples here and here. In the end, the RAM heatspreaders will be too that it doesn't give enough clearance for their oversized aftermarket fan.

A mature person will use a workstation video card, like a Quadro or a Firepro.

A manchild will use a gayming video card, typically an overpriced and overhyped piece of shit from Nvidia (GTX 480, GTX 970, GTX 1080).

A mature uses refined operating systems as their daily drivers. Examples include: Linux (any distro really), Windows 7 with no updates from 2014 and forward installed, Windows XP, and OSX pre-Yosemite.

The manchild uses Windows 10 Home Edition and vehemently defends it. They were duped into upgrading from - presumably - Windows 7 to 10 because Microsoft fed them empty promises of DirectX 12, never realizing that Vulkan came out and shits all over current (& future) forms of DX. The manchild will install Ubuntu on a spare drive, only to never touch it again. The manchild is too retarded to learn a small handful of Bash commands.

Example of programs that a mature person has on their computer:
-Opera
-Vivaldi
-GIMP 2.0
-MPV player (I forgive anyone who uses Baka-MPlayer)
-OpenShot
-Blender3D
-LibreOffice
-Emacs
-Vim
-IrfanViewer
-Xpdf
-Console-based BitTorrent client

Examples of programs on a manchild's hard-drive:
-Google Chrome
-Mozilla Firefox
-Microsoft Edge
-Default Windows image viewer
-Pirated version of Sony Vegas
-Pirated version of Photoshop
-Adobe Acrobat
-uTorrent
-VLC player
-multiple DRM clients that allow them access to play games, i.e. Steam, Origin, U-Play, Battle.Net, etc.
-a library of shitty meme games to reflect their shit tastes (CS:GO, Rocket League, LoL, Overwatch, among other)
-latest version of MS office that forces them to pay an annual license
-CCleaner because they don't know of the Disk Cleanup function.
-Skiddie programs
-No programming or development tools whatsoever

A mature person will use refined peripherals. They will own:
-A mech 60% keyboard using Blue MX switches with o-rings, or 80's Topres. Typists will use the acclaimed Model M.
-a Microsoft Intellimouse or the Logitech MX Master Wireless
-high quality 5MM headphones with a DAC

A manchild's peripherals will look like:
-a Razer Blackwidow keyboard with rainbow colored backlit LED's to represent their homosexuality
-a meme-tier Mouse like Razer Naga, Logitech G502, or the Madcatz R.A.T.
-an extended mousepad because of their gayming
-shitty gaymer headphones plugged directly into 3.5mm on the front of their case.

In the event a mature person does not want the extra baggage of a desktop, they will opt to get a laptop. They usually get the Thinkpad, preferably models from IBM or the early Lenovo lines. A toughbook will suffice too. The mature person will get Windows off of it and install Arch Linux onto their laptop. Their laptop will be used for work, productivity, or general purposes that do not entail degeneracy.

The manchild has an Alienware laptop or Macbook purchased with daddy's credit card. Though laptops are supposed to be used for portability, the manchild rarely brings his out in public, fearing ridicule. Rarely is the manchild's laptop used for productivity; it is nothing more than a portable shit-posting and fapping machine.

A mature person uses a computer to better themselves. They use computers to be productive, strengthen & facilitate further growth of their knowledge, and to communicate with other like-minded individuals in hopes that their transcripts will influence other people to ascend towards knowledge nirvana.

The manchild uses his computer to facilitate self-destructive behaviors. Their computers are nothing more than an over-priced Xbox that enables shit-posting and cancer.

Example of a mature person's post:

- Doesn't care what people do with their own PERSONAL computers

Examples of a manchild's posts:

- Rants about other people's personal lives on a public forum

I'm assuming (based on your sway of the bias pendulum) that you're a mature PC owner.

That or you hate yourself for being a manchild.

Why do you hate yourself?

My previous PC build was in 2009 and it had the Aerocool Syclone IIcase. My current 2012 LGA2011 PC has a Fractal Design Define R4 case, so there's definitely some truth to what you're saying.

Clicky switches are for the omg 1337 gaymur demographic, no mature person would get blue switches :/

I've been using a Logitech G402 ever since my 10-years-of-service MX518 died two years ago. While I don't think it's as comfortable, or as aesthetically pleasing, it does the job.

I use VLC on my iPhone, and it's like a god send. You can easily transfer over media via your network, no more iTunes bullshit.

For the most part you're talking about enthusiasts, and not mature people. A mature person doesn't give a shit what components others choose to have.

Opera is terrible and doesn't have a 64bit version.
Vivaldi is still a work in progress and can't match the speed of modern browsers.
Photoshop is better than gimp.
VLC has more support/features than MPV.
Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere are way better than shitty open source video editors.
Blender3D can't compete with the greatness of Maya or 3DSMax
Google Drive will always be superior to any local based text editor.
Emacs and Vim are good.
IrfanViewer is completely useless in 2016.
Acrobat or even Foxit are better than Xpdf
Just fucking use deluge dumbass, don't bother with console based bullshit to seem cooler.

I bought a pre-owned Alienware Alpha i3 from Amazon. It was supposed to be a dedicated gaming PC but it turns on so quickly that I've been using it as my main. It makes creepy noises which I'm guessing is where it got its name.

It only costed like $350. I like it because it's about the same size as my Wii which means I can stuff it in my backpack and take it to a friend's house. I think it has better hardware than a PS4 or an Xbone, but don't quote me on that. My emulators all run at a silky smooth 60fps and that's my only concern.

This is actually untrue. Rendering and other niche applications will make use of RAM beyond 16GB.

A mature person will use a workstation video card, like a Quadro or a Firepro.

A manchild will use a gayming video card, typically an overpriced and overhyped piece of shit from Nvidia (GTX 480, GTX 970, GTX 1080).

This one is also untrue. Many graphics cards meant for gaming work very well for rendering. You can even modify some of the much cheaper gaming cards to become the same hardware as the much more expensive professional version.

Example of programs that a mature person has on their computer:
-Opera
-MPV player (I forgive anyone who uses Baka-MPlayer)

Firefox and MPC-HC are better.
