they also think im a game addict tho i only spend around 2 hours per day
coming from a person with asian parents who asked from age 7 till 15, u probably have to save up till u can buy ur own
i have the money tho just not permission
cheap used gaming pc?
under $700
yeah ez. i bought my first pc for 300 when val came out. ran val for 144 fps.
damn
it was used
economy is crazy nowadays tho
i mean not if u buy used
mmm
i think id prefer to buy a pc that would last me ages lol
im using this pc right now lol
its originally from 2013
runs valorant perfectly fine still
nice
what are ur parents reasons for not wanting u to get it
probs academics and they just dont like games in general
used pcs can last ages as long as you get some parts new but you do need knowledge i guess, ofcourse won't last as long as a new one but used isn't as bad as people think
do u think i should just get a used pc then?
i was originally plannjng for a $650 pc and money isnt rly the issue here
if you have money get a new one, less risk.
i dont like buying 2nd hand for giant purchases like a pc due to it maybe not even working even when tested
icl val is such a time waste
still need help convincing :val_Hampter:
its my birthday soon and i asked them for permission to buy a pc for my bday present
and they said why not the laptops we have
🙁
say pcs have more performance and you need that extra performancer
say your coding or your doing 3d modeling
if you want to cover up even more download some free models on a website
NAHH they wont believe me tbf i wouldnt if i was them
i did that
i got my pc
damn
ay you never know
im asian too btw
LMAO
i'll try..
this is super true
i got my pc 6 years ago
these typa specs now cost like what idk maybe $30 total
believe it or not i can still run valorant smoothly at 120fps stable
if i turn fps cap off its around at 190 fps if i have everything closed except val open
genuinely you can easily run valorant if you buy a used pc for like $300
can it run triple a games.. 😭
im not expecting like 100 fps
just 60 would be ok tbh
prob can
ive never played triple a games
just cs, valo
uhm
mmmm
idk bru
i would just recommend buying something in the ~500-600$ range and used
i js need to convince them
just do epal
and buy it urself
💔
i was planning to
😭
i habe the money
just not permission
cant help you with that
yeah
but you already have a laptop right
ueah
they arent letting you buy a new pc cause its a waste basically
NAH BRU
is that what they think
its been 6 yrs
intel
they think the current laptop is good enough for studies
and wont let u buy a new pc
right?
yeah probs
damn idk whats their issue then if its ur money
if i was you I'd just do epal and show my paypal balance or whatever after like a couple months saying i need a better pc to earn more money
💔
das just me tho
☠️☠️
NOT EPAL
lmao
but thats really the only simple solution i could see for you
academics prov
UGH
make money online - prove it to ur parents and convince them you need a better pc to make more emoney
its understandable
im praying they give me permission on my bday
the only reason i could see them not allowing you to buy it cause its not money you earned it was just given to you
yeah that also could be it
so
time for epal
💀
😭😭😭
considerating
js make some money online
prove to parents
and boom
tbf ive saved the money for like 16 years and using it for the first time now
epal?
isnt it like basically edating but less yk
ay idk
up to you
alr
GONNA OF
jk lmao
pretty much same for me
deadass im turning 18 tmr and the money ive been "gifted" is going towards license & for my car
i said can we atleast do like $500 for a pc ill pay the other $500
they wouldnt allow it
pmo
damn
sorry im in a match rn
☠️
but with all the vids ive watched on girls on epal they get harrased asf
ur 17 bru that would pmio ad well
what would happen if u js buy w/ permission
no i do
i have hustles
i buy everything for myself pretty much but they just dont want me to spend their money on a pc
they think its a waste
like ur parents
damn
what if you bought a pc with ur own money without their permission what would they do?
have u thought abt what ur gonna do?
hell NAW
prob throw it out the window LMAO
they cant return it so
yeah
why not
nearly 18
cuz i've been doing nothing in my life in terms of grades
all i did was just hustle online
i have no idea

just start an epal and make bands a month
😭😭
anyways gl with ur parents
thanks bro
lmk if you start an epal

LMAO

:Clove_Heart:
An i3 8th gen wont run triple a games no
you right
if u opt for a used pc, make sure u ask the seller if its HWID banned on any games.
if you want to have fun dont go for a i3 8th gen
30$..
you can run val 60fps with a potato pc
i get abt 80-90 in game low settings with discord open

Secure Boot not enabled
:valExclamation: To verify Secure Boot is not enabled, press the Windows Key + R > type msinfo32 and hit enter > locate Secure Boot and BIOS Mode.
Look for BIOS Mode: UEFI and Secure Boot state: On
If it states it’s off do the following:
Go to Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Restart Now > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings.
Navigate to the Security or Boot tab. Navigate the menu until you locate Secure Boot. Enable Secure boot. Save the changes and restart your PC.

I WAS JOKING HELP
dont sell yourself out like that
i got my pc at 16 too
15*
i was gifted a pc by an online friend (bless his heart) that ig saw me as a son LMFAO
😭
so i just had to cover shipping, it was his old pc
but yeah in this world its more connections and stuff
my parents couldnt rlly say no either
its not like they can return it
so they just confiscated it for a few months than gave in
:mizuki_sob: imma be real epal is predatory so dont pls
IM NOT😭😭
damn
hes so sweet
MONTHS??
thats crazy
hey what did you expect
hes like 30 smth haha like a second dad to me
gurl use that asian mind of yours 😭
are u good at studies? like for me i got my first gaming pc when i scored good rank in my high school( i put in the half money) , soo maybe if u get very good rank they might consider getting u one
True the asian parents are all about getting high score in exam
everything is above 90 besides maths and science which is around average
but tbf im planning to go international in which they dont evaluate maths and science
i meant to say is do something which can impress them yk
update
i asked them to give me permission for me to buy it on my bday but they said next year lol
lol idk if anything besides academics will impress them
i partake in a shit ton of extra curriculums too
there is surely something they want find it and do it
So when ur 18
Das crazy
naw 17
how do i turn the secure state on after i do Windows Key + R > type msinfo32 and hit enter > locate Secure Boot and BIOS Mode.
U have to go in bios
