I Shouldn't have Built a Desktop
I built a PC a few years ago, while I was still in High School. It was really fun, I loved researching the parts and putting them all together. But, in hindsight, I don't think it was worth it.
My PC is not high - end by any means, but it cost a lot of money (at least considering I'm still a student). And I don't think it was worth it. My Laptop can do basically everything my PC can do, and I can take it to class, field work, or my parents'. I guess it's better at running games, but I mostly play Heroes III and Beta Minecraft, both of which came out before I was entirely sentient. I did love playing Silksong on my PC, and it really is a much better experience that way. But I don't think that justifies the investment. I bet I'd have had a similarly good experience, for far less money, if I bought a Steamdeck instead.
