Yes, pretty good movie.

Makes a fine werewolf double bill with Howling. The sequel, however, Howlings is for so good it's bad aficionados. A reference in the latter genre.  Not to mention Christopher Lee and Sybil Danning. 

Oh the Howling is a good idea, I'll check it out, I know I've watched it but can't recall anything.

Also I wonder if 'Wolfen' (sp?) has aged well, I recall it was quite good and had a decent Brit actor in it whose name eludes me; wait was it, nope it's gone again, but was in my mind momentarily befere I recalled Anthony Newly's for some odd reason.

Not sure what Yi is smoking. Rogan says what Trump is doing is bad, not because it is wrong, but because the Democrats would do worse.

which is an improvement over saying that Trump isn't doing anything bad, ever.
But I doubt he'll manage to move beyond that level of indicating Trump is bad.

If you mean what I think you mean...there are some channels that do the "exaggerated expression face" thing on their thumbnail that are decent.  From what I understand, that is just one of the trending methods to try and game the algorithm. 

The all-caps on shorts is usually just fodder for wildly out of context or AI-faked low-hanging trash.

What made it unwatchable for you?

Characters and events so ridiculous that I had no desire to know more about them.

Any YT video with DESTROY in all-caps is never worth watching.

Or if speaking generally, any of those with a big face with exaggerated expression.

Most things right now points to this:

Windows 11 Pro Phanteks XT Pro Silent Mid Tower (svart)
Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC
AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Tray CPU
Phanteks Glacier One 360M25 Komplett Edition
Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 5600MHz 16GB
Kingston FURY Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD 2TB
Asus B650E MAX GAMING WIFI Motherboard
Phanteks AMP GH nätaggregat 850W gold (svart)

I's a modification of this: https://www.komplett.se/product/1325110/gaming/gamingdator/gamingdator-stationar/komplett-pc-advanced-gaming-a150-rgb

Focus is on a black case (that presumably is a bit more silent than a LED glass case), a faster SSD, more power and better fans for the processor.

This should be good enough for longevity (by running cooler) and upgradeability. I chose a more standard GPU and 16 Gb RAM because those are very expensive to upgrade and can somewhat easily be upgraded in the future, whilst a slow SSD is not something that one normally upgrades in my experience.

Ended up on this display

https://www.komplett.se/product/1322790/gaming/spelutrustning/gamingskarmar/asus-32-curved-gamingskarm-tuf-vg32qw3b

He necessarily wants a curved one and everything I found was balanced in a different way where every display was good at something. So I choose the cheapest one on the same site that the computer's from, it'll be good enough.

The computer is 18k SEK and the display 3k.

Windows 11 pro cost an additional 300 SEK so I plan on buying that, is that a bad idea for gaming? He doesn't need the corporate stuff, but if he goes full nerd he'll be able to do virtualisation, dockers and stuff like that.
