Seasonic has alerted us to the fact that you can currently get the absolutely gorgeous Vertex GX-1000 Sakura Edition Power Supply IN STORE at a local Microcenter for $289.99 instead of paying extra to resellers. We've updated the link in the description to reflect that!
Some of the things have less "cute" tax or you do not need. Like the power supply you do not see anyway. A white aircooler instead of expensive watercooler with exensive fan with expensive screen.
@@DerBlaueRabe42I'd say you can 100% get a better gpu for that money, just in white, and add $1 PVC stickers or hand-paint it if you're inclined. Same for the MoBo, there's plenty of good fully white options for cheaper.
I love watching LTT but this was probably my favorite video of theirs, Pink is my favorite color and I agree how hard it is to get anything gamer that is also pink, so my setup feels very neutral but this might push me to add some cute lil flowers here and there 😻
10:00 Well, then you should have installed a Linux with the KDE desktop on that thing, as the GUI framework KDE uses is called "Qt", which most people pronounce "cute".
I made a cute white PC for 2500 and yes, all black with same specs i could definitively have a 4080 instead of the 4070ti. (But it’s cute! And white) The cute tax is very real.
Linus with cute neko-girl voice: "like this cute segway to our sponsor" Linus 1 second later: *proceeds to shout about fathers day with his manliest voice* Truly accurate to the discord kawaii neko e-girls boba and karaoke club frfr
11:55 - my absolute favorite segment in each and every LTT video is where they do something interesting and then Linus realises how expensive it was and gets sooooo frustrated and shocked :D :D :D
Pretty sure it's more economy of scale. How many if these did they make compared to regular models. That and they know people will pay more for "special editions" It's a combo of both
@kandidkeeks it's not exclusive to girls is my point, any smaller section is going to be gouged, just like any anime, or star wars edition has been, and those are catered towards males, primarily
Sooooooo true! The markup on every white pc part, monitor etc. is INSANE. If you want to have a fully white build you can expect +30% more cost compared to black.
@@Dan-Simms True most white stuff only comes that way in a "special" limited version. I have some stuff that is purly for the looks (LED fans, screen in pc etc.) but my keyboard for example would be 3x as much if it was white so no thanks^^
Pretty wild how fast pc companies embraced black as uniform color. Used to be so many red blue or yellow components. And of course unsleeved multi color cables
I think he's bi? Maybe? I know there's been at least two women that he's referred to as his partners in the context of surprise visits and date nights. Only guys I've seen on his Twitter are the ones from LTT.
@@Yaya0001 All the more reason to encourage girls to go into STEM. Maybe if guys weren't so toxic to girl gamers and try to gate-keep GAMES, it wouldn't be such an issue. Real men LIKE when women share their interests. 😒
@@hippieduck thankfully it's already happening with companies like Pixio offering monitors in baby pink, baby blue, white and black colour-ways for an affordable $150 - granted they're 24" at 1080p but it's a start.
curious to hear thoughts by linus in regards to LKBC, with Stray it was about finding the prompt and it allows you to jump where as in LKBC press or press and hold to aim.. I found it's a little fiddly with jumping onto a ledge above you, or sometimes it does/doesn't climb the ledge when the cursor is below it but I was playing on controller, might be easier to aim on mouse.
I'm not keen on the pink (Personally), but I enjoy seeing the pc space becoming more open and Customizable for everyone... Because PC's should be about self expression and if you can get more stuff like this on the market, we all benefit. 🎉
Would have liked a fuller breakdown of what was included in the cost, but it is mostly in the pastebin. I do dislike the 'cute' tax when they show G735 headphones for 200$ without mentioning anything about their quality, but I guess that's for another video. Something that is nice about them is that they can be wired or wireless.
I've seen quite a few cute gaming set ups and white is usually the more dominant color choice but pink purple and green are popular as well. So cute without pink is possible if that's what floats your boat.
@@CM-us7of 100%, but the issue is how much does each non-black color SKU need to sell to be viable. Imagine a warehouse full of green parts that haven't sold. I think white could be the most customizable color out there and those parts often come with a markup. The truth is you need more people buying more colors to make it work
Ironically, the only thing I want from this entire video is Donut County (the game where you're a hole). Immediately went and purchased it on Steam lmao
PLEASE yes I'm begging you make some cute deskpads 😭😂 The only deskpad that's aesthetically pleasing to me is the Northern Lights one, and while I want to see the quality of the deskpads compared to ones I've owned and the one I currently use, I vastly prefer the aesthetics of my current (non-kawaii/cute but really cool Japanese inspired) deskpad. Since I can't physically touch an LTT store deskpad until I buy one, I've put off buying one until there's cuter or more aesthetic options that I like. If you guys made a deskpad with even one small kitty on it, I would buy it. Or comfy cozy vibes of course...
Linus, I also wanna see more of the cute setups you guys put together (great for inspiration!) and definitely more pink in LTT’s store! And you’re right, it’s definitely a cozy vibe!
Remembers a story long ago about the colour Pink actually has a calming feature about it i.e. they paint a room, put a irrate inmate in the room, and he chilled out rather quickly 😮
This is my DREAM setup!!! I turned 21 not too long ago and have finally been able to invest in a not so great computer, I would die for something like this honestly.
Linus here's an idea build a BMO gaming PC. His face could be the monitor or just a display that has a animation of all his different facial expressions and quotes on the faceplate can have 2 USB ports at the front the face buttons can be power(red) and reset button(whichever) and the dpad can be used for bios keys (kinda like hotkeys)
I can't say enough good things about those corsair fans and their 420 version of this aio as well! Love all 9 fans in my rig and the display looks awesome! Definitely the best cable managing experience I've ever had easily especially with 9 fans and a pump!
OMG, my brovaries! Isn't it another case for the pink tax? And those ears I love cats but when those ears are pink and removeble? Or how about black "void" cat ears? Orange? Doggo? Bears? Fox? And why must be cute builds be so overloaded with pink? What about so lavender, soft green, light blue or dare I say soft yellow? I'm asking because I'm desperate for ideas. This lady would like cute but not I prefer not to be squished by Jiggly puff or swallowed by Kirby.
If Bulbasaur PC didn't exist, I'd think the kawaii decoration was nice. But seeing it side by side, it felt as if the kawaii decoration wasn't given much thought other than just throwing in white and pink flowers.
@@alexdavis9324 I'm not saying that they actually did put thoughts into it or not. I'm saying that the result looks as if they did, because the Bulbasaur PC looks like miniature inside PC.
Im not familiar with pc specs, but for veterans here who knows a lot of it, these specs can run heavy gaming, editing, and maybe streaming right??? This looks so beautiful that I am actually planning to build one for myself 🥺💗
Ngl they know how to market for girls women audiences, every single aesthetic detail matters and you bet they would notice all of it if it aint matching. Im glad I chose a black rig to not get quite literally _pink taxed_ 💀
