Built a gaming PC and kinda love it

May 13·1 min read

Never thought I'd be that guy building a PC but here we are. Spent way too much money and my wife keeps asking when I'm gonna use it for something productive. Actually getting some gaming time in after the kids go to bed and it's honestly the most relaxing part of my week. Nothing crazy, mostly playing through some story games. Anyone else sneaking gaming sessions late at night?

My kids think I'm the coolest dad ever since I started gaming a little bit. It's actually a good way to connect with them even though I'm terrible at most games. The investment stings at first but you'll get your money's worth.

Dude this made me laugh. I built mine during the pandemic and my wife gave me the same look. At least now I can say it was a pandemic purchase and we're moving on, right?

Haha welcome to the club. I built my first gaming PC about a year ago and I don't regret it for a second, even though my wife definitely judged me for the RGB lighting. What kind of rig did you end up putting together?

Spent way too much money is the dad gaming PC motto. Sounds like you're enjoying it though, that's what matters.

The wife's gonna come around once she sees how much you actually use it. Sometimes hobbies are just for us, and that's okay.
