@@darrianweathington1923 that's the nature of RU-vid having the potential to let people make money Also that's not really the point isn't it, he was in the area and did it on a whim and got rewarded for just being a decent guy (even before paying for his fan)
@@darrianweathington1923 Well, he also showed just how awesome Microcenter seems to be. The employees actually seem to care about what they sell, which is getting quite rare these days.
@@siripfreely some pc building company I don't care to name did a raffle essentially and didn't like the person that got picked because of her follower count so JayzTwoCents built her a PC.
We were SUPER impressed with the knowledge level! They really knew their stuff. Not just the inventory, but what was suitable for the PCs people wanted to build.
It's always going to turn out better to ask a nerd for help than a rep from a massive company. Unless the rep is also a massive nerd. Then you can go either way.
**Gamers Nexus visiting Newegg** Newegg: Our judgement day has come... **Gamers Nexus visiting Micro Center** Micro Center: **teary eyed** We have been blessed this day...
Agreed. Always had good experiences at Micro Center when I lived near one. This also shows how tough it can be even for people who genuinely want to be able to give good advice to get brass tacks, bottom-line info to be able to provide solid advice. So much industry coverage is hype, focused on what’s the fastest or flashiest, but if you are paying double for 3% performance boost, that’s important info for most folks actually paying for PC parts. Also, that bit of sage advice on memory for GPU vs APU will probably be golden for a lot of shoppers this guy helps in the future. If I were an exec for Micro Center, I’d think about hiring Steve and his team as consultants for a series of seminars and Q&A for the on-the-floor sales staff that covers those fine details that never seem to make it into PC build guides, but matter a lot. This could benefit everyone. Steering people towards the right gear reinforces good behavior on PC part manufacturers, since good value, well built, good performing stuff should sell more, thus encouraging them to make better stuff at better values….but it can be hard to know the difference when staring at a wall of brightly-colored boxes, even if you watch GN and others on the reg.
I bet the head office was real happy about how micro center handled everything. Very professional and progressive of them to allow filming. It ended up being good free PR.
It was a nice touch that the salesperson was asking Steve advice on stuff too. He seemed knowledgeable, but also acknowledged Steve was an expert and was happy to learn and engage
I try to buy at Micro Center because their return policy is pretty amazing and I like the idea of going to a physical retailer. 30 days and I've never had an issue with the one return I've done. The only thing they changed due to COVID on returns is no products that you wear are returnable.. but I have a feeling that they would let me return something within a day or 2 if I showed it doesn't work or wasn't opened(they said this at checkout but its not in their written policy)
MicroCenter is stellar, because their employees are stellar, and they deserve the free press. I have never had a bad experience there, and I have yet to visit where any employee in the area fails to ask me if they can help.
Microcenter is actually that good though. I can vouch that I literally turn into a kid at the candy store when I go there. The staff is really awesome always too
Whenever I visit a components shop I know way better than anyone there, and I don't know shit. I'm really jealous of people who have micro center nearby.
Imagine being this dude, alone in Microcenter with little idea of what you’re gonna do, when Tech Jesus himself descends upon you, guides you through the process of picking components, and then pays for it in the end. What an absolute G.
@@TwinbornMist This happens to me every time I go to a Best Buy. I end up selling PC's and laptops to confused customers talking to confused High School aged employees. I worked at CompUSA when I was in HS (late 90's) and i guess old habits die hard.... LOL
Imagine walking into a store, with little knowledge of parts, and one of the most knowledgeable and customer concerned people, is the person that helps you throughout the store. Lucky dude.
11:15 When the employee asks a legitimate question to Steve@GN, that truly shows that he's a quality salesman that wants to better his customer relations. Just a small kudos to that guy 👏🏻
Just the fact that a retail store *exists* where an employee knows what "filament" is (and not in the context of lights bulbs... which don't use them anymore anyway lmao) is impressive.
"One second, I gotta make sure he doesn't pay for this!" Imagine hearing Steve say that after he spent likely an hour or more helping you figure out what you wanted to build.
@@Mach141 While it can certainly be profitable it's not as profitable as it once was. If you've actually watched other GN videos though you'd also know they put a LOT of money into equipment to be able to do actual real thorough testing. They aren't just pumping out 10 minute videos throwing parts together and running a benchmark, a lot of time and work goes into each video. For all that goes into each video I would not be at all surprised if they make much less profit than the vast majority of other RU-vidrs, particularly ones of similar sizes. I'm not saying he can't afford to do this and clearly the fact that he helped with this build allowed them to make a video out of the visit when they had no clear plans, but it's still a nice thing to see here and not just trivial. GN really seems like a product of love where everyone involved believes in what they're doing to try to provide a service for the space that really doesn't exist without them. Yeah they're a business and they make money but they aren't here throwing half assed worthless videos with clickbait thumbnails just to pull in the most profit they could. They wouldn't spend tens of thousands of dollars on custom testing equipment if they didn't believe what they're doing has value.
So the guy in the camo is part of my dads group and so he was sooo happy to have met you and then you went above and beyond. Steve you are a blessing my guy! awesome seeing this after hearing about his experience in the group!
Imagine you're at Microcenter. Imagine running in to Steve. Imagine him agreeing to help you pick parts out for your build. Then imagine him paying for it all. Gamers Nexus and Steve are incredible. You made MY day today and I wasn't even the guy in the video... amazing stuff.
I'm blown away just watching it happen to someone else. Can't imagine how it would feel if it happened to me. What a solid guy. You can tell he just loves giving his work, time, and expertise to the community.
lol, and at the end of the video there, I was thinking - imagine the guy went to the right at the end of the shot and started unloading everything into that two-story giant pickup truck.
It's so damn weird seeing myself in a video like this. Thank you again Steve for being awesome. You made many people's days here so much brighter. EDIT: Let me clarify, I was the one around 16:55, not the guy featured in the video.
It went both ways! Meeting everyone here was a lot of fun and Andrew and I really needed that decompression time. Big thanks to everyone for being so friendly!
I think I started really liking them when an employee heard I was building a rig and they went "oh, no not that case, you want this one - you'll get better airflow around that card you showed me". It was a less expensive case. When I really fell in love was my brother also building a rig, thinking it would be painless, and the gentleman we saw about "why won't this thing POST?" pointed out we were missing a connection on the board. Then asked if he could demonstrate that's what it was, turned out to be the case, and we moved on.
i wouldn’t even call them influencers. they’re celebrities as celebrities comes to them to get shit done too. Steve is like acdemia writing dissertation like crazy!
It is very common for other customers to help each other particularly when the employees are busy. It is a safe place for nerds to just walk around and think of more projects, upgrades, etc. Once you have the attention of an employee, particularly if you are doing a full PC build and need a lot of components, the employee assisting you will stick with you the whole time if you want and/ or need them to do so, which is great for you. However, some times it's good to have extra nerds around as shoppers almost always outnumber employees.
@@r2db yep! I had people come up to my local m Microcenter saying "I know you don't work here, but do you know anything about this part?" Microcenter is one of those friendly places that people help each other. Even I received help on my first build randomly by people and employees at the same time 🤣
What's funny is that if you didn't already know who he is, he wouldn't really stand out. He doesn't look out of place, and apparently it's _normal_ for employees to know their shit there.
@@r2db I wish I could work at a microcenter, but my local one is a bit too far for me to commute to. I would still go if I was buying something though. I bought my apple watch there. When I buy a laptop for college I will most likely buy it there, and I will build my next desktop there. It is so cool.
just re-watching this one for funsies. Hope that employee got some recognition, was really impressed when he started talking about spacing for radiators you can tell the dude really knows his stuff
Looks like they picked out a 240mm AIO instead of the 360mm the employee recommended, I was puzzled at that - though maybe cost was a factor (you could see the 360mm's on a shelf in a later shot)
This was hands down the most heartwarming geek culture video I've ever watched. My goodness, a $100 million advertising campaign couldn't have been more impactful. Every day we're bombarded by non-stop negative stories on the news. Thanks for sharing an experience that demonstrates there are lots of good people in the world who are happy to help each other.
1. Runs into newbie fan, helps him pick out parts 2. Helps employee who's enthusiastic about his job grow 3. Runs into more fans 4. Doggo thats just done 5. Pays for newbie fan's parts This is just such a positive video. You guys are awesome.
This guy was actually decently knowledgeable doing some decent research (early stage) and only came in to have a look around to help him decide later. He didn't seem like he was impulse buying but he was ready to buy if he had to. When Steve came and gave him advice he knew enough to follow along thanks to his own research and at that point Steve helping you buy at that moment is better than another how many other hours looking around and possibly getting confused and making mistakes.
I think that's probably why Steve paid for hardware. The guy basically stumbled into building a whole PC with Steve, but Steve is a good enough guy to know he might not have been ready or able to pay for all the parts that were picked out. Good guy Steve.
It seemed like he just wanted a second opinion on his research, which is a smart thing to do. Steve is a great guy, and paying for the fan's build is really sweet.
@@DystopianOverture he clearly wasn't complete on his research, but he knew enough and trusted Steve that it was safe to buy when he did. Paying for it was a sweet bonus.
I totally rushed my build and should have spent more time researching. Not that I am dissatisfied in how it came out but my choices were a bit impulsive and which I allocated more time to research. Would’ve been great to have Steve there!
@@NickyNicesthey I've been building pcs since the mid 2000s and I still do this. I recently got a 14700k because it was slightly cheaper than a 7800x3d. And it's for gaming and sometimes streaming . Nothing I'd need 20 cores for. Even tho I knew how much less the amd draws, I got the intel. Regret. Also lga1700 socket. ☠️ Yeah I can limit to 270w and ubdervolt+oc but electricity is v expensive in Australia 😂
Loved that the guy in charge of allowing filming just let Steve be Steve. Apparently they have legit reasons to believe their staff will rock it it without a chaperone/handler trailing them.
The amount of inadvertent quality advertising Steve just did for microcenter by just interacting with their staff is insane...also it's kind of cute that he got to be treated like a rockstar in a mecha nerd store 👍
There's a MC an hour or so drive from where I live and I've bought there a few times, and the staff is pretty much the same there as this store. My impression of MC is all positive, just wish they were a little closer :)
You could just tell he was full of knowledge. I have a td500 case, and my reaction to seeing it for the first time here on Steve's channel was almost exactly the same as the guy in this video lol. Immediately jumped out at me. Anyways, the fact he knew little details like most 360mm rads won't fit with most motherboards/ram at the top, which took me a fair bit of googling and forum diving to figure out, is simply impressive. You can tell that he has a genuine passion for what he does and go out of his way OUTSIDE of work to learn more and better serve customers. Wow, what a breath of fresh air.
@@JoeBudson Because its a shit company to work for with constant carrot-on-a-stick tactics to keep you from quitting. You could be the best at sales in your department, have great customer service ratings while still pushing every bullshit service and product they make you push (MC credit card, service plans), you could still sell those well, you could prove you do fine on your own, but they still micro-manage you into hating your job. Some departments are a lot better, which is why the incentive to get promoted is there and some people do like working at the company but they will do everything in their power to make you hate working there.
I met Steve at LTX 2019 and this video encompasses everything I gathered from our short 3 minute conversation. Steve’s a super genuine person who cares about the tech space and his community. You guys rock GN!
Thanks for saying hi! It's so great to meet people who use our content for their builds or entertainment. It really helps me understand what people need the most from us, so I can try to be better at providing it!
If his whole NewEgg thing wasn't proof enough that he cares about the people, nothing else would. Every step of the process, it was clear it was never about him, it was about the rest of the people that use it. He knows he can flex his clout and get responses, but it wasn't until it literally happened to him, and he experienced and documented it, could he truly talked about it. If he tried to do it sooner, do it based on what people told him, they could just handwave it off and say it's not that bad, and he'd be written off and it would go nowhere. As he said, he just accepted they were crappy and decided to not buy from them unless absolutely necessary as he had heard plenty of complaints before, but the moment it happened to him, he shared his experience, not for clout, not to drum up drama, but to be a voice to warn others. Even going so far to sit down and interview them, hold a flame to their feet, and twist the thumbscrews on them just to get answers and get some sort of comment, he always made it clear he is doing this for every person who was inconvenienced and slighted, not for his own thing.
That is the thing there is a nice line of being popular in a segment of the population, the buzz of the thanks to meet you without the I am really in a rush.
Very true but part of that is also consideration for their customers who may not appreciate it so you ask out of consideration for everyone and not just the store.
That dude was holding back the tears man. You truly did something special for him that he will never forget. THat's what life is all about. Supporting those around you anyway you can.
Imagine you're in microcenter for the first time trying to make sense of how to build a computer and then Steve complete with camera crew materializes out of thin air to walk you through it.
Can you imagine stumbling upon actual Tech Jesus in the wild when you just so happen to be a noob building a pc?! It's so great what you did for that guy. This video made my day too :)
Saw you comment and immediately got an urge to see Tech Jesus and Gun Jesus change places for a day and see how they'd fare as neither of them knows anything about the other's profession.
This is like an alternative universe where Steve is a laid back retail guy who helps people build computers. So wholesome. It’s nice to Steve having a good time instead of having to bring down fire on bad companies. 10/10
There is someone much wholesome in this video! I love how the one Microcenter sales guy was like "I'm going to take this opportunity to learn something." It takes a lot to admit, in front of customers, that you don't know something about your product line, but he's better at his job for it. Huge respect to Microcenter for just letting GN roll film like this, too. It shows a LOT of confidence in their staff, to just trust that the experience is going to make them look good.
@@Lolerstomp I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Being overqualified to that extent, a hiring manager weighs if it's worth it to have you on until you get bored/realize you can better use your time or hiring someone who needs the job and is worth their time training into their system.
I’m lucky enough to have a Microcenter close by. It is the best retail store anywhere. They always take the customer’s side and will move mountains to make things right. If they sell it, I make the effort to buy it there.
That was actually pretty wholesome. This guy is going to remember this forever every time he uses his build. The staff there were great too. Honestly that place looks so awesome, I wish we had something even remotely close to that in my area.
6:15 Yo, the Microcenter staff guy here knows what he's talking about, both as far as the product and the situation in the store. That's what I like to see in a physical retailer, and part of why I wish they were much more common.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 in the same situation im a 50m drive away from the nearest two stores and when i move back home i go to 2.5 hours away from about 4 of them
@@GamersNexus Was at that Microcenter 2 weeks ago and talked to the same person! Very knowledgeable and cool guy. I think Christian Chanon was his name. (that was the name on the sticker he put on the motherboard I purchased)
I feel like this dude was going to spend that money even though he didn't plan on it just to have Steve shop for it with him. So cool that Steve did that for him! Such an awesome, genuine person.
Other than running into Steve, this is basically my experience every time I go to microcenter. The selection is massive, things are in stock, if a few items aren’t in stock they will be soon and aren’t being resold by scalpers. The staff knows their STUFF. The 3D printer section is full of knowledgeable 3D printing enthusiasts, the PC section is full of knowledgeable PC enthusiasts! I genuinely enjoy getting in my car and physically going there more than I enjoy visiting some online stores.
@@GamersNexus I wish we had a microcenter in the UK, those guys really looked like they took their customers seriously. I doubt they could of done a better job promoting themselves.
Steve at Microcenter is like Elvis showing up at an Elvis convention. It's cool that you're so down to earth and humble with everyone there and you certainly made that guy's day!
Man, this made me remember walking around Fry's Electronics as a kid with my dad getting parts to build my first 286. Really awesome of you to just help out a random fan who happened to spot you and ask for some advice. A true show of character. I salute you sir.
I can just imagine how great this must have felt for Steve. Going through the very intense stressful experience with Newegg culminating in literally doing a C-level meeting with them. To then get to meet some of the very consumers he's helping protect and get face to face confirmation of just how much we love and appreciate Steve and his whole team.
*STRESSFUL* Try calling your credit card company and putting in a dispute like *NORMAL PEOPLE DO* - Oh I forgot being normal is from the past. But someone had to FLY to a company's headquarters for "attention". Wow, what a man.
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 Because when a company essentially scams customers by sending them broken products and then denies refunds and someone has a platform to inform others about that company's actions, they should stay silent instead of actually having an impact. You're miserable.
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 maybe I misinterpreted your comment, but it seems like you don't understand why he went to Newegg directly. They are flat out scamming people. People shouldn't have to dispute with their credit card company. The point of it is to fix a problem that shouldn't even exist
Yea and he didn't want to walk away until it was paid for when they wanted to take his picture, he was like let me finish this first, i don't want this guy buying the stuff himself. haha.
@@RinnosukeETQW True enough, but he could have made this same video without paying for it, and it's pretty kind that he did. You could make some cynical assumptions (marketing and such) about why he did it, but in the end, he did it. Personally, just judging by how Steve acts, I think he's a really decent guy, and he's not just being nice in front of the camera.
@@chunktuff right, he did it not only because it was the RIGHT thing to do (because the guy basically helped provide them with so much content), but because it was the GOOD thing to do. And Steve is inherently good, which is why he goes TO THE MAT for everyone when he sees an injustice with a manufacturer or a retailer. He's just that way. That's why we are here, honestly.
All microcenter sales reps I've dealt with have been great and knowledgeable and remarkably patient with other members of the public who just come in and say "i need more memory for my laptop. It's an HP".
this reminds me of a episode with bitwit where he was going to best buy to buy something and he ran into a fan trying to buy a video card and was looking at the cards and he asked his fan how much do u have to spend and then when he heard how much bitwit just ended up asking for help and he picked the best gpu they had and bought it for his fan. obviously this was pre pandemic and when he was still married but yea it was so heart warming to see and so was this
@@imwithyou38 Lets be honest, even though no one expects it from them there is also some pressure from them to do it as well. Mostly because of A holes on the internet saying "why didn't you buy it for him, boo". Plus it's also a (very expensive) good PR thing to do, aka improving your image to the people (including the company you're in), because they will be more likely to hand off the channel to more people than just bumping into him because they paid for something, and while won't compensate for the item(s), they are more likely to buy merch because of this as a thank you.
@@seeibe Honestly. You're walking around doing your thing and suddenly you're on camera with over a million subscribers watching your every move. He did great
Yes, agreed! I watched all the way through suspecting Steve would do what he did. I wonder if that guy had even thought that was going to happen, haha! Totally rad!
I was not expecting this video, nor such a good video, that employee genuinely asking and not being afraid or ashamed to ask was AMAZING, speaks volumes.
@@joeyn177 that's wild. a store that serves its purpose. getting rarer and rarer to not be discouraged by a place that has absolutely nothing you want and 50,000 sq ft of trinkets to fill the space
I like how when the MC employee at 11:10 asks about ram Steve instantly responds positively. Shows the employee is enthusiastic and wants to learn more while on the job
From my experience with retail, you often get people interested in the particular field working there. Builders merchant? Chances are they have a couple of DIY people on staff. Car parts shop? They are probably enthusiasts. Of course majority of people working there are not tech guys in civilian life, but you can't spend 40+ hours per week around the products you sell and not pick up some interest *Sad past-retail noises*
@@songogu9 Actually, MC has requirements to work in the build section. They don't let just anyone work in that section. I've built or replaced parts from my local MC for the last 10+ years and I typically go in with an idea of what I want, but I always get together with an employee in the section just to see what they think. The reality is I'm going in off of reviews, but these guys have the reviews as well as know if there are a lot of returns or unhappy customers on top of it.
Everyone's right about how heartwarming and wholesome and generous this was, and how cool MicroCenter and their staff are, but I just wanna add props for the lowkey humor of "If you want to build an open loop system like that, you'll have to come back later and hope you run into JayzTwoCents." Just imagine if he actually did and Jay really was there.
When Steve and the GN team is impressed with your staff and customer interactions, you KNOW you're doing things right. Props to Microcenter, wish they'd put up stores here in Asia too :)
WTF This video damn near brought a tear to my eye. The fact you took time out of your day to help this man. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, that even held the camera of your fans to take pics for them is crazy. What got me is him saying he was going through some stuff, which I can relate too (debt, trying to make it through half a day work while in pain, ect) and you paid for everything. Just having some kinda helping hand at least once in life must of felt great, Great video
PREACH if I'm correct this is my 4th rewatch of this wholesomeness piece. They (or maybe just Steve) were so nice in this one as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qt9Pb1sNXBY.html
This was WAYYYYYYY more wholesome than I expected, especially at the end where he bought that guy's stuff for him. Like, WOW! This video made me happy.
Surprised me too. Even if Steve didn't get enough revenue from the video to pay for the system, he could claim the purchase as a business expense and get a decent chunk of it back on tax. Still it was an extremely generous thing to do irrespective of if he got money back on it. I've not been following him long, but like how matter-of-fact he is, and a little thing like this goes a long way to improve the perception others have of you, it certainly did for me.
@@greeceuranusputin No, he didn't "HAD TO PAY". Steve could have asked written permission to publish it. Being Steve, I would happily have signed for free !
@@TransoceanicOutreach I mean dude was have a rough time, and life handed the opportunity! The mighty Steve appeared to turn his day around lol. It was generous he waited until they stopped filming before introducing himself.
@@TransoceanicOutreach I honestly had 0 idea it would conclude like that. I've always like Steve but holy shit I love him now. Anybody who can make someones day, year, or beyond at their own costs is the ideal human.
@@TransoceanicOutreach I dont think he was thinking that. If he was he would have gone full ham on the parts. I think he legit thought he was paying for it.
This seriously had me smiling ear to ear the entire time. All the interactions are amazing!! I was watching an XOC stream with Steve a few years back and I sent in a Super chat, and when he said my name out loud and I giggled like a child. I even recorded it and showed it to all my friends. THIS is why we watch and support your channel. Stay amazing GN, you guys are the best!!!
What a treat for this guy to be able to have one of the most reliable review-based channel owner pick parts for him… bet that guy talks about this for years!
Love to see folks getting into the scene. So cool of you to help him out!! One of my favorite things is when a newcomer asks for help and you end up walking the store with them. Humanity has hope haha!!
This is so incredibly wholesome. Just seeing the store really takes me back to what it was like browsing Fry's Electronics back in its heyday. I used to go over there with my friends back in high school to hang out and browse... Going there to get everything for a build would have been a dream, but alas, it was not to be. I moved away, and by the time I came back, it was a shell of its former self.
This brings back nostalgia for me as well seeing the shelves at frys packed with so much enthusiast level components back in the day and the effort they would put into decoration on the store it truly was an amazing shopping experience. Sadly the last time I was there the shelves were empty and the store felt like a ghost town, the pandemic was the last straw that broke them.
LOL I love the people geeking out over seeing Steve in the store. That's awesome. What you did for that fan was touching, true celebrity status achieved. So cool that the staff was knowledgeable and keen on having you back.
Absolutely never in a million years would have expected to tear up at a Gamers Nexus You Tube Video? Been a bad week for the whole world, and you helped turn it on it’s head, at least for myself, hope comes from the strangest places. Thank you..
Seeing this 9 months later is awesome. I get that this guy's build was content but top notch stuff to end up buying his build. Respect the hell out of this kind of stuff.
After hearing about the "Boutique builder prize non-giveaway" debacle this past week, it's good to see someone in the community not only step up and buy components for a new builder, but pointedly taking the time to explain everything in detail. Because sure, helping with money is a thing, but I feel helping individually with your time is even more meaningful. Mad props, Steve!
Building a PC when you have never done it before can be an intimidating thing. The fact GN helped him through every step and then paid for everything has made me a life long fan. Truly classic and amazing human being.
They do a good job hiring the right people too. People who really do love computers and are genuinely knowledgeable. I remember I use to work for Circuit City back in the early 2000's and the manager in the computer department I worked in didn't know what CPU stood for or the difference between a Pentium and computer chair. None of the staff truly knew anything except for a few of us... sadly, working their pretty much broke us and we all quit to form our own tech companies. lol
Micro Center is fantastic. The one locally has employees that are very knowledgeable. They must have a good screening program for employees especially the DIY area.
Same as the Microcenter staff in St David’s just outside Philadelphia. Absolutely some of the best enthusiasts and experts who are always happy to help and have really solid recommendations. Just had a power supply die on me late 2021 and was too busy with real life stuff to take care of it myself. MC’s diagnostics and repair got me sorted with a new PSU installed (extra bonus, with my cable management preserved!)
This made my heart cry tears of joy. That's "MY STORE" ... can't tell you how many people I've helped do what Steve did for this guy. It's so heartwarming to see Steve help the guy and all the fan reactions. Keep it up dude!
I'm in my 60's, never built a PC, changed a lot of components and owned a lot of prebuilds. I just want to say that you are one of the coolest guys I have ever been witness to either online or in person. Most of the time you admittedly talk over my head with your knowledge and understanding, and I try to learn and absorb the information you're sharing, but today you showed yourself to be just as cool and considerate in a real-life scenario, as you portray in your studio recordings. I just wanted to commend you for being the kind of person you are, in a world where folks like you are increasingly hard to come by. Thank You!!
@The Rotten💯 Elden Ring kicks everyone's ass, if a enemy or boss is kicking your ass super bad, maybe avoid them and come back later is what I recommend. Also if you are having performance issues its probably not your rigs fault, they botched the Direct X 12 so the game stutters.
@Through My Eyes... Im curious what kind of games do you play? Im in my mid thirties and have noticed my reflexes are a bit slower now, a lot of friends play more strategy or turn based games but I generally find them less fun then more actiony games.
In my 60's too, friend. Never too late to learn. Building PCs is a blast and the feeling of accomplishment you get when the job is done is well worth the effort. It's a good hobby. :)
this is genuinely so cool to see, no bullshit just absolutely happy interactions with fans and probably the most helpful person you could run into. thank you GN for being the best youtube tech nerds :D
The fact you paid for dude's stuff and then didn't use that for title/clicks/thumbnail/etc is stellar! This video had me smiling ear to ear the whole time. You could tell noneof it was forced!
This was very moving to watch, there were no ego's throughout the whole video from either you or MC staff, you acknowledged your fans and supporters who recognized you and then you go and pay for the guys PC parts! Da man!
The entire time watching this I had a big smile, seeing Steve take time to help a fellow viewer and fan pick out parts for his build then PAY for his build is an awesome display of humbleness and class. 10/10 Steve and team.
About 5 seconds into his meeting the fan I thought "he's gonna buy all his stuff, isn't he..." That was such a great and genuine interaction because I know he was going to pay for everything himself if he hadn't ran into Steve. This is just awesome!
@Jesse M For sure, he was being frugal where it counts just like any normal dude with a budget would... He likely had no idea. Good for him, and good on Steve.... super cool. ANd steve got a good video out of it so its a win win.
@@ItsMavicBrah Well, see, now the dude can use the money he would have spent on some of those upgrades! (Although, really really don't buy $700 RAM. That's a crock)
@@canadademon that's kinda what I was thinking. As most of us can relate when we build a new PC, the monitor is upgraded at a later time. I imagine part what this guy had planned to spend on those components that day likely ended up in buying a new monitor.
@@Unending_One maybe I was distracted by wholesomeness of this entire thing but I didn't even think Steve would pay for the components. Nice cherry on top of the entire ordeal
I was a little confused at first at the end when he said "let me just make sure he doesn't pay"... then I realized what you were doing. This sort of thing is awesome. While I am grateful for all I have, I hope to have more in the future that would enable me to do these things during my journey. You guys rock.
