We have a mega thread for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft; however, nothing for PC unless I've missed it.

Starting one up!

Friendly fire butt-holes are half the fun of the game.

Haha, why's that? I'm still super new to it. Called the one dude out and all he'd reply with is "I'm mewing". Gdamn kids.

(TL;DR It's funny. I was a Team Fortress 2 player for years. You'd be surprised at how mad people can get when you're being an annoying bastard to everyone...)

@Foxhack eyyy TF2 gang. I put about 1500 hours on that bad boy back in college, though most of it was just playing with my little clan on our 2fort map.

Loved that game so much.

OG Quake TF was my jam. Played a fair amount of TF2 as well, and man I would love to see a remaster or a newer version of that! Is that Community even alive an active anymore?

The community never really stopped playing, despite Valve all but abandoning it years ago. They still release patches to fix exploits, but no new weapons / hats or anything AFAIK.

Maybe a fellow pc enthusiast can help me out here. I built my computer in 2019. Just upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 super ti and it took more plugs from my PSU. Not a problem

My ssd is an NVME plugs right into the motherboard. It’s only 500g. I’ve got a spare SATA SSD but no more plugs coming out of my psu to use. What do I do?

Couple of options depending on what you've got available:

1. If you have an available SATA power connector that just can't reach the drive, you can get a SATA power extension cable
2. If you've used up all your SATA power connectors, you could get a SATA power splitter cable
3. If you have an open Molex connector, you can use a Molex to SATA adaptor cable

Others might have more creative solutions

I think you've covered all options: extender, splitter, converter.

If you don't need it to be internal, there are docks and adapters that will let you connect your SSD over USB 3.0. There may also be some PCI Express SSD docks, but (a) most of the ones I've seen just piggyback on the form factor and don't actually connect to the PCIE slot, and (2) using up a valuable PCIE slot for an SSD is probably a waste unless it's an absolute beast.
