I spent an whole night last week building it the very MOMENT I received the graphics card in the mail and it was so much fun!!! (though i was hunched over for hours and it really hurt my back...)
I had 2 separate problems with the cpu both of which are a little embarrassing to admit
putting it in the wrong orientation (no pins were bent, it worked fine once it was fixed)
Too little thermal paste on my CPU for the cooler (wouldn't boot after a few days but was subsequently calmed by giving it more of the cpu fish food paste)

So like, I wake up today, and I’m like, I want Kitsune Udon. Surely it couldn’t be that difficult to make, it has like 3 toppings and I only have 2 of them. So I started looking up recipes and it’s like 11 AM.
So turns out frying tofu takes a while. And then it’s 2 hours later and I get to eat my lunch
