It was my first "proper" computer, not a repurpose office box with a 8800GT strapped to it nor an ancient Athlon XP or Pentum III. This was my situation between my very first personal computer and it. (2007-2012, born in '97)
Mid-2012, after frying a Pentium D915 because of the OC setting of my previous Celeron E3300, my broke self finally had the option to get a ~1000€ computer. I choose all the parts myself with my 15 yo research skill, which made an ok computer in therm of specs, maybe i could have chosen better parts but at least everything was compatible. It was a FX-8350 pared with a Radeon HD7850 and 16go of RAM and god-damn, i was so proud of it, had no problem running games of the time until at least 2018 when i started to feel that time had not been kind to it...
Maybe i should have cleaned it more often, maybe the many times i moved it for LAN parties had it coming apart, maybe the time my idiot cat spray pissed it had irreversible effect i could never fix or just the fact that my smoking habit is as bad for me as it was for him... Don't get me wrong, i did the usual maintenance. I remember him has the thing that kept me warm in the winter and wouldn't be able to play heavy title on a hot summer day, I remember him for the random blue screen streak, up to 10 in a row, if it wasn't his day but an hour break would end the streak, that time his Ethernet port just disappear from my windows install and every subsequent install of said OS, forcing me to use a 20yo Wi-Fi card and grab a new Ethernet one some time later, other quirks include a 3.5 mm jack that needs constant force applied to it to have any kind of sound going to it and most jank of all, my handmade GPU cooler i had to make with spare fan that was at 100% for more than a year because i do be lazy sometime. :)
I know it sound like i'm complaining but if you read carefully, i stop cooling it an object a stared personifying it, because to me, he really had a life of his own and went through said life as i did, i never named it but when he was on his worst time, i would talk to him, encouraging him before a reboot or lecturing him for an issue that would not be resolved, and most of the time, he prevailed, he so it through, he always had my back and never gave up... It some point i knew those were his last day as my daily and started to go easy on him, stop playing those new games at 15-20fps, stop those hours long render and compil, and placed him in a kind of early retirement, keeping to old or non-demanding games, finally setting the CPU clock speed back to stock which wasn't the case for 10 years and simply go easy on him...
Now that i have again the option for a new computer, i want to thank him for all those years of service and enjoyment, all those hours lost to video games, talking with friends and meeting new people, countless movie watching,learning new hobbies and perfect other i already had, thank you.
Hope you have a nice retirement, love - Y.L OS : - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CPU : - AMD FX-8350 - OC: 4.4 Ghz RAM : - G.Skill 4 x 4Go - 2133 MHz Motherboard : - ASUS M5A97 R2.0 GPU : - Sapphire AMD Radeon 7850 2Go - OC: 1050 Mhz Case : - NZXT Phantom Usb 3.0 Edition (Black and Orange)

Ok so, I’m in a wierd position where, a girl loves me, and her boyfriend is one of my best friend…
The relationship between them wasn’t going well, they always had arguments, and it was like that for about an Alf year. Those past few weeks, she told me that she needed a break between them and needed a little more time for herself. She was pretty depressed and I tried my best to make her smile and laugh and I think it’s mainly because of that and the fact that she already had a little crush on me (she told me so)that created deep sentiment for me. This past week, her boyfriend was sick and couldn’t go to school, she had the opportunity to stay with me the whole time we were at school and that made her boyfriend kinda jealous, I told him no to worry because I’m not that type of guy… Four days ago, she told me what she felt about me and that she pretty much loves me, I didn’t know what to think, I’m in a pretty bad state of mind about love, I can’t forget my ex boyfriend but at the same time I just want to be loved again and to love in returns, I miss those feelings… When she told me everything, I directly ask about her boyfriend and she told me that she’s going break up with him the very next day… That next day, she kissed my many times, I felt great but I couldn’t stop thinking about her boyfriend and the fact that she didn’t left him till later that day… Later that day, she had to go see her boyfriend to break up with him and I was supposed to wait for her at home… About 4 hours later, she finely arrived and she took me in her arms… This weekend was absolutely great and I had a great time with her but the whole time I was thinking about my ex boyfriend and her’s and i was thinking about the fact that I'm not really sure about my sentiment for her… Sure, she’s pretty, funny and clever, she also likes the stuff that likes but I need to be sure about my feelings…
I don’t know if I did the right choice and if everything will go well… Also, there's a lot of details that I didn't cover in thus little text...
