    If all you're going to do is talk about how fake it is to derail the discussion then take it elsewhere. It's not needed.
    I also just realized I cant edit the first post.....

    I think the problem is that non-fans of pro-wrestling and it's sceptics are under some sort of delusion that we fans don't understand truth of it, when in actual fact we understand the truth better than they do. It is not a sport, it's entertainment. A showcase of athleticism and drama with the sprit of completion at the heart of that drama, but we know it's a story, not an athletic completion. I've already stated why calling it "fake" is the wrong terminology, and that explanation stands, so I see no point in repeating myself. You can like, dislike and feel what you feel exactly the way you want to feel about, but can I polity request you stay off this thread unless you have something positive to contribute? This blasting of it with the same "It's fake" cliché, even if your right, is something that's been said and heard a million times and it just has no worth to anyone. So please, just let the rest of us discuss this without the pointless aggravation.

    Alot of the time, especially before the COVID-19 crisis, that 2-3 times a week could easily be 5-6. In between time, there's constant training. Wrestling matches also typically last alot longer than a bout in the octagon. I admit that's less true of fights in boxing, those can go quite long, but they get breaks between rounds and, like @Crazycrab said, these fights are separated by months at a time. So once again, fake is the wrong word.

    I'm SO sick if the ignorant cocks who dismiss pro wrestling for being "fake".  Just like movies, It's about telling a story.  If you compare it to a competitive sport like cage fighting, boxing or even Olympic style amateur wrestling then not only have you completely missed the point, but you are a total fucking hypocrite unless you dismiss every fictional book, movie and TV series that has ever existed for not being "real".
     
    I enjoy the over the top characters, the funny gimmicks, the in ring action and hold a lot of respect the athetism required to do this, scripted, 2 or 3 times a week.  Most top end pro-boxers or MMA fighters do it, unscripted, 2 or 3 times a year.  I respect them as athletes too but if you respect one but dismiss the other then you are a hypocrite.

    Fake is the wrong word. Scripted, pre-planned, a show, stunting, yes, but nobody goes through the kind of risk, injuries, pain and wear and tear on their bodies that pro-wrestlers do by doing something "fake".

    That's actually a little worrying.  We've seen publishers outsource a ton of work a project and it's often a "to many chef's in the kitchen kind of situation.

    Crazycrab reacted to Voltairus in FF7 Remake is better than expected because it distanced itself from the original   
    Remaking an old game is both a huge compliment and a biting insult. 
    On one hand, you’re saying that this game is a beloved classic, and we need to devote resources toward recreating its brilliance for a modern audience. But then again, you’re also saying that this game doesn’t hold up to today’s standards, and it needs an update to remain relevant. Whether it’s simply a cosmetic makeover (like most HD remasters), or a ground-up overhaul that changes the game’s design (like Resident Evil 2 and 3’s remakes), the message is clear: these remakes are meant to replace the originals.
    That’s what most people assumed Final Fantasy VII Remake was going to do. A straight retelling with prettier graphics and a new battle system would’ve been well-received, and for much of FF7R’s runtime, that’s exactly what it is. But by the time the credits roll, you realize that this game was never meant to be a replacement to the PS1 classic. In fact, I’d say that only people with at least a passing knowledge of the original game will fully grasp what the remake is trying to accomplish. It’s a companion piece, a love letter, a reverent yet subversive remix. It’s not the game I thought it would be, and it’s all the better for it.

    A couple that look good to me are Rune 2 and Ashen. Also I have Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's a really sweet game. If I'm getting the price conversion right, the prices are below.
     
    Rune 2 - $29.99 / £24.24 / €27.72
    Same price for Kingdom Come Deliverance.
    Ashen - $39.99 / £32.33/ €36.96
     
    I decided to include the Euro as well. I don't know how far the whole Brexit thing has gone, and whether or not that affects the Euro in the UK or not. Assuming it was even accepted there to begin with. But I figured what the hell.

    I don't think that the pandemic will have an impact on the pricing directly but it might affect availability at launch, which means some asshole resellers will sell sell for a inflated price.

    Crazycrab got a reaction from TechnicGeek in Where do you buy games?   
    That's the main problem with sites like those, especially for independent developer's.  If the keys that are sold by resellers are bought fraudulently which seems to be fairly common then the credit is refunded to owner of the card.  If that happens then:
     
    1:  The publisher and/or developer has to refund the original to the credit company, so not only do they not get a cut of the resale but the loose the money from the initial sale and have to pay additional fees.
    2:  The customer who bought the key from the reseller can then loose access to the game without warning and no chance of a refund.
     
    Inde developer's especially are so against key resellers that some have even gone on record stating that they would prefer you pirate their games then purchase them from G2A!

    These sites are better avoided.

    I still think you should wait, but If you insist a can prepare a build for you on PCPartPicker.  I just need a few bits of information:
     
    Location:  To get accurate pricing and availability your local currency I need to know roughly where you are.  Send me a PM if you don't want this public. Budget: How much are you willing to spend?  Including essential peripherals like mouse, keyboard and monitor(s) in the budget if you need them.  If budget isn't a concern then let me know about... ...Performance:  You say you "want to be able to run graphics smoothly and have the ram and space needed for speed and being able to have digital copies of games" but this isn't very specific.  If you can give a bit more detail about the resolution and refresh rate of the the monitor(s) that would be helpful.  If you can't I'll match your budget as best I can. NAS Storage:  You say you are willing to buy and run your games from Network Access Storage, but I don't recommend this for gaming since as it can slow up load times and some clients might not be compatible.  If you do decide to go for it how much storage do you need?  You may also want to consider the state of your home network as I defiantly don't recommend doing this through WiFi, at least not for you main gaining rig.  You will also to consider this in your budget and there are alternatives like Steam Link if it is ultimately impractical. Is it JUST for gaming?  Judging by what you have said so far I'd assume yes but if there is anything else you would use it for (work, video editing, streaming ect) let me know. Space:  I'll assume again based on your earlier posted that you do have a space for it but is it limited in any way?  Like the size of your desk and anything else already on it. Astetics:  Do looks matter and if they do describe how.  
    Well I think that covers it.  You can replay or let me know through a PM.
