Sure, but my computer is pretty budget and you can do a lot better at 1000-1500 Euro.

Acer Nitro

Intel Core i5-9300H Coffee Lake-H 14nm 2.4-4.1 GHz

Intel HM370 Cannon Lake-H motherboard

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4gb

8gb Kingston 2666 SDRAM SO-DIMM

512gb SSD

Poo-poo LG Phillips 60Hz monitor (IPS LED, still only 60Hz though)


I'm saving up a bit for a new laptop as well. I would definitely recommend avoiding a 1650 and going for a 1060 or higher. Same for monitors, 144Hz is not super expensive anymore. Also, laptop GPUs tend to be soldered onto the motherboard, so choose wisely

At that price point you’ll probably want to look at Acer Predator Helios 300, MSI Raider or some of the ASUS ROG stuff, though admittedly I don’t know much about Asus hardware. MSI is my personal favorite but it’s a matter of opinion. You’ll probably want something with a 144hz monitor and at least a 1060 graphics card if you’re going with NVIDIA. 8-16gb of ram is fine, speed and channel matter more than excess amount anyways but let’s not get into that. Preferably you want an SSD instead of a regular hard drive, 512gb should be fine. For processors a 9th gen i5 or an 8th or 9th gen i7 should be fine (my budget i5-9300H runs all the games you mentioned fine, but if you’re looking for more power go for the i7). Get a good cooling pad from Amazon for like $30 USD and your heat situation is fine, my Havit 5 cost $25 and keeps my laptop cool without undervolting, however undervolting is still definitely your best friend. Hope this helps, I’m assuming you are new/novice regarding computers, if not forgive my rambling

I would like to donate the princely sum of one US dollar to the prize pool of your tournament. My accountant should be in contact with you shortly with the wire transfer.

Too early to say, true, but I wouldn’t discount/underestimate Trump’s ability to appeal to people’s base emotions. Otherwise you might end up looking like Wolf Blitzer on election night

The thing is that people in the US don't like small goals in the US it's go big or go home.You don't get elected by saying I will fix roads by talking to Congress for them to try to shift the budget and then talk to states to go repave the roads of the US, no you say The country is falling apart I will rebuild the infrastructure vote for me.

Good point tbh.

Also @Winters if the system worked, Donald Trump, an outsider with radical views and no previous political experience, would never have been elected. Putting aside whether you support or oppose the man, the Constitution was designed with a certain elitism that in theory would keep people like Trump, essentially a merchant with a questionable ledger to boot, out of office. The founding fathers felt pure/too much democracy was dangerous and would lead to societal collapse. They felt that a person could be intelligent but people as a whole were generally stupid. That’s why there is no direct democratic vote for president and the winner of the popular vote can still lose an election. It’s also why for 125 years the state legislature chose Congressional senators, not the people.

I’m not saying the system is perfect but it definitely isn’t working kekw

Tbh most politicians in the US proclaim they'll accomplish things that in reality are at best improbable. MAGA being a good example. How one man is supposed to spur the revitalization of crumbling roads, fix public education, create a healthcare system that isn't based on lies and monetary compensation (boy could I go on a rant about that..."I'm sorry your husband died, we did everything we could, that'll be $7,500."), etc. etc. is beyond me. The Flint Water Crisis alone took years to solve, and it's still not completely finished, and that was one issue in one city in one state of this country. Bernie might fare better than Trump if elected, he might not. Regardless he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish more than one or two major reforms on his list. Free college education alone would likely consume the majority of his first term. All the while having to deal with international relations, growing Chinese adversity, terrorist attacks and Congress. IMO he wants what everyone on that stage wants, to be the most powerful man in America. But arguing that his goals are impossible to achieve usually gets shot down by people who only look at the morality of his goals and not the feasibility of them. IDK. I don't see a single candidate worth voting for on that stage. But as far as sitting back and watching the country burn goes, I mean, I wouldn't. You do you tho
