Yes, they're fine - relatively safe builds. Not a fan of the Puppy build - better off with a AMD machine at that price/cheaper, but rest are fine.

Depends on what you want to do with your computer, how long you plan on keeping it, and how important having an upgrade path is to you.

The Puppy build has the Asus RX, doe. Great quality/price ratio for a gfx card IMO.

I just wanted an excuse to drop my new gif.

Agreed! I just like AMD processor at that price point. However, that gif is fantastic so you must be right!

Yuugo: Koushounin (Yugo the Negotiator) – 6.5/10

“Yuugo” is a hero anime about Yugo, the self-trained globetrotting wordsmith. With his iron will, cultural savvy, and bevy of friends to supply him with gadgets and support, he proceeds to meddle in world politics while ostensibly rescuing hostages from dire situations. Split into two separate arcs, the series focuses first on Pakistan and then Russia. However, due to each half being produced by a separate studio, there is a notable shift in style and tone between the two. While this does not create any inconvenience for the viewer, it does result in a bipolar split in my rating and review.

Pakistan:
The sterling effort that went into portraying the locale, giving it a gratifying foundation of realism, cannot be overstated. The vehicles, geography, dress, factions, architecture…a general awareness is displayed on all fronts. While there are errors, they felt minor, of the sort that experts and locals would notice. It is only fair to forgive them in light of the implicit respect shown through the high degree of research.

Nowhere is this more striking than its incorporation and depiction of Islam. As befits the setting, the entire atmosphere is imbued with its essence. The calls for prayer, the litanies and rituals, and the terms form the fabric of Pakistani culture. “Yuugo” manages to walk the fine line between recognizing its unifying power as well as the faults and extremes it produces. It also demonstrates great discernment between the religion and the people. While the devout could be laughably quaint, violently deranged, or deeply holy, it was the men who were that way, not necessarily the beliefs. It was assiduously anthropological, seeking to portray the culture, not to assess it.

Colonel Warcrimes reporting.

…at least until Yugo gets to the village. This is the one part of the series that I was confused by. When tied to the rock he chants passages of the Koran and is miraculously able to withstand the heat. I presume the idea is that Yugo was attempting to swindle the onlookers, passing off his superhuman perseverance as divine intervention to buy their trust. But the presentation at the time gave the impression of a false conversion, a subtle demeaning of their beliefs by the patently-superior outsider, especially as this was the first demonstration of Yugo’s “powers” in the anime. I was never able to shake that sense of trivialization afterward.

Moving down from the culture to the people themselves, the general intelligence of the characters involved deserves mention. The Colonel is able to sniff out the oddity of Yugo’s ploy, interprets the signs of the money transfer, and pursues doggedly but competently. Despite his hackneyed depiction, complete with a maniacal disregard for life and paroxysms of rage, he was a worthy foil to Yugo's schemes. Ali, for his part, may have been a zealot but he didn't fall for obvious tricks. He had to exhibit some degree of cunning in order to lead his men. It made the unfolding of the plot more enjoyable, as it truly is a competition between people rather than our hero sailing to an easy victory.

All of this is dusted off with a subdued, almost faded, color pallet. It was superbly effective at portraying the sun-bleached desert climate, where everything seems to swelter in the unbearable heat.

7/10

Russia:
Russia is where it all goes wrong. While it still maintains the semblance of what made the first half enjoyable, it simply lacks the same execution. The research into the country is still solid, with the plot centering around real locales and events, but its presentation is less vibrant. Similarly, Russian “motherland” patriotism is substituted for Islam as a cultural ethos, and yet again doesn’t seem to quite bear the weight as convincingly. However, the worst changes are to Yugo and the nature of the plot.

Yugo morphs from dickering champion and part-time masochist to a self-employed James Bond. No longer is he limited to his radio-operator buddy for a single HAM radio. He can now command a GPS that hacks spy satellites, a radiometrically perfect reproduction of an antique, snugly-fitted professional winter gear, and even a hidden lock pick in his belt. And not to be outdone by his exploits in Pakistan, he suffers two torture sessions with no aftereffects, walks 30km in a -40ºC Siberian storm at night, and premeditates his own ignorance so as to avoid confession. I half expected him to storm the Kremlin at the end to resolve the problem.

"And please bless папа, and мама, and all the little plot holes."

The plot is also on thin ice. In Pakistan Yugo is forced to react to unexpected deviations, counting on the intelligible behavior of his allies and enemies to see it through. In Russia, he hero modes his way through his problems, surviving the patently impossible, only to ask for seconds. He banks on Olga’s hidden patriotism overcoming her dismay when he shows up in her room and suggests that she frame a colleague as a traitor. In the resolution, he confidently appeals to the educated patriotism of a devout Russian girl to divine the final three numbers of the code. Yes, that’s right. His ace in the hole was a 12-year-old solving a 70-year-old riddle out of the blue.

I’m not sure I can even blame the studio change, for unless they entirely rewrote the script this entire segment felt as though it was just trying to push harder. The hostage more pitiable, the stakes much greater, the brutality more refined. It pushed suspension of disbelief in Pakistan, but by the end of the Russia arc it takes a leave of absence from reality.

5.5/10

Yuugo is a curious series. It is convincingly cosmopolitan, with a sincere and accurate portrayal of the cultures its primary objective. Trickling down, the people involved are also appreciable for their multifaceted nature; passed off for who they are and what they want, they can transition from foe to friend on circumstance. But its reliance on Yugo’s outlandish abilities failed to persuade me, and in scoring I am forced to come to a compromise between its two halves.

"Should"?!?

Depends on what you want to do with your computer, how long you plan on keeping it, and how important having an upgrade path is to you.

My PC is like 6 years old or so, was just looking to get something new for high end gaming. I'm just far too lazy to do this part picking shit, and would rather steal a build from someone and pay some computer store to build it for me.

[Artorius]

My PC is like 6 years old or so, was just looking to get something new for high end gaming. I'm just far too lazy to do this part picking shit, and would rather steal a build from someone and pay some computer store to build it for me.

Most of the questions still stand, but you answered what you want to do with your computer so let me explain your options:

1 - The mainstream Intel platform (LGA 1151) with a Kaby Lake 4/4 i5 or 4/8 i7 (the 7700K is your best bet, can OC well to run shitty MMOs well, also has HT so it isn't horrible in multi-threaded tasks). Don't buy an i3 at this point. Rest is pretty much the default choices with 16GB of RAM, a graphics card of your choice depending on how much you want to spend, a power supply that isn't crap, a mobo that has all the features you need, is from a reliable brand and allows OCing (if you want to do it), a boot drive SSD and a storage HD.

This option makes sense if the games you plan on playing don't scale well with a higher number of CPU threads, when you won't be doing more than a single task at the same time when playing your games, when you don't really care about a CPU upgrade without having to replace a mobo and when you don't do anything compute heavy other than playing games.

2 - Going with Ryzen and AMD instead. Rest the same.

This makes sense when you care about how well your system will continue to perform in the future, if you play games that usually can benefit from having more threads available, if you care about being able to upgrade the CPU without replacing the mobo (next 2 gens will use the same socket and same boards), if you'll be running things in the background when playing games and if you'll be doing any compute heavy task that can benefit from having more threads.

Disclaimer - At the moment, Kaby Lake is more or less ~13% better than Zen in IPC excluding AVX256 tasks. Zen has a 16% better SMT implementation. Kaby Lake usually clocks 25% higher but you can buy twice as many Zen cores for more or less the same price.

Translating this into gaming scenarios, Kaby Lake SKUs will be absolutely better in almost any games currently. The difference isn't exactly something big though, most of the time you'll be GPU bound anyway so the CPU won't matter. But even then, going into the scenarios that CPUs still make a difference, even if Kaby will give you higher maximums and higher averages, Ryzen SKUs might give you higher minimums and less stuttering from random background tasks.

Productivity wise Ryzen is almost always better unless the program can't scale well to more threads.

Now that Intel finally woke up and is playing the same game as AMD, offering consumer options with more and more cores (up to 18 this year, while last year the most expensive option had 10), things will just tend to get more parallel with time. 8 threads (so, a normal i7) is still plenty nowadays, but the difference might become bigger in a few years giving the lead in everything to its current competitor.

also S3 of Shokugeki no Soma this fall.

I was wondering yesterday where S3 of Shokugeki was honestly, good to see it's pretty close.

A bit surprised on 'Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari' honestly. I've been reading the manga and didn't think that much of it. Seems far too scattered in ways, with its sudden convenient abilities and meh plot.

[Pendulous]

Yay. I finally stopped being lazy and finished The Devil's A Part-Timer. Unfortunately, it felt like the first season of a slice-of-life anime hat was setting up all the characters for the rest of the show. But that was it. It was entertaining, but there could easily be so much more.

Watched the first episode of a show that caught my eye on Hulu, The Asterisk War. It didn't grip me enough to care to continue, as there was a lot of really big names that it felt like the show expected you to already know. If anyone has any input on it, would appreciate it.

If not that, I plan on watching Trigun for the first time. Or beyond the first two episodes of My Hero Academia. I'm not sure how I will feel about it, since the first two episodes I didn't love. Still waiting for the rest of Fairy Tail to be animated, supposedly by the end of the year. If anyone has any suggestions for a good action/comedy mix, with a big, interesting cast, I'm all ears. I'd pick up One Piece, but I'm already about six billion episodes behind.

[Neichus]

If not that, I plan on watching Trigun for the first time. Or beyond the first two episodes of My Hero Academia. I'm not sure how I will feel about it, since the first two episodes I didn't love.

My two cents:

1) Trigun is something of a golden oldie series that I'm not sure has aged well. It has several tropes that were somewhat novel at the time, and are now done to death. It's nice to say that you've see it and added it to the list, but I personally feel that its historical value is beginning to outstrip its entertainment value.

2) I didn't like the beginning of Boku no Hero either. I thought the main kid was blubbery and obnoxious, and the setting was groan-inducing unoriginal. However, it did grow on me as I continued to watch. I found All Might to be a surprisingly likable character, and once it gets past the setup stage it feels more confident in itself. This latest season has been a clear step up from the first.

I contributed the same way a cat plays Simon Says: by hitting whatever button lights up. Wisely it was not.
