What do you think about discord?

It's good for keeping communication in one place - I mainly use it to host ttrpg games, so my server has all the lore stuff in one channel, general chat in another, character ideas and discussion in a forum-style channel where each character can have their own thread, and a voice channel for when we're actually playing. Each campaign gets its own category, so players can also go back and check stuff out from old campaigns. I'd like to switch to an open alternative, but the few services that offer similar functionality are self hosted or still quite early in development so aren't reliable enough for my needs.

I fear your understanding of context is matched by your understanding of economics if you think your first two claims are true. It's a PC at a PC price, and your unfamiliarity with the market doesn't change that.

Melodramatic means exactly what I think it means - I'm saying you're being overemotional to make a drama out of a non-issue, as backed up by your projective accusations - I don't want one, I'm not it's target audience. You, on the other hand, are here raging that it... Costs a normal price for a computer of its specs. It's obvious this isn't a real issue, you're just reactively hating on Valve.

They're not buying at the prices your local hardware store bought them at though, they're buying at the future price of hardware when it actually gets built for them. It's not price gouging.

I talked about SSD prices in an entirely separate sentence, it doesn't make any contextual sense for you to lump it into the previous statement.

The literal next sentence he says is "but blender put it near the 5600x". You're comparing it's worst performing tasks to general performance.

You are being melodramatic.
