I wish that even more cats are rescued in 2025 than were rescued in 2024.  I'm a cat person you see.

Receiving an ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7700 XT Graphics Card from the RED TEAM with a note that says:

As Albert Einstein said, "Welcome to the Red Team!".  ‌‌‌‌‌‌

Will be amazing! 🤞

[BigAl01]

Wouldn't that be wonderful?  Of course, I think everyone here is hoping to win an RX 7700 XT GPU.  

[Vynski]

This upgrade looks great.  I upgraded a Ryzen 7 2800 to the Ryzen 5 5600 on an MSI MPG X570 Gamming Plus mobo almost a year ago.  Then  last summer my old RX480 finally gave out and I replaced it with an RX 7600.  Now here is where I say your choice is very appealing.  I also have a Ryzen 9 3900 with an RX 5700XT on an MSI MEG X570 ACE and this Ryzen 5, RX 7600 outperforms the Ryzen 9 3900, RX 5700 XT.  I could not believe the results of my test scores.  I think I posted these scores on the forum, somewhere.  I was amazed at the performance increase in the generations of these components.    

[yellowegg000]

did albert Einstein has a cat?

[BigAl01]

Yes he did.  And he named his cat Tiger.  I also had a cat named Tiger.  A loving boy that adopted us more than six years ago but he left in July of this year and I assume he was at his end of life.  

Here was our Tiger cats back in July of this year.  He left soon after this picture was taken.

Beautiful cat.

I would love to have a Scottish Fold cat and I would also love to have an ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7700 XT Graphics Card from the RED TEAM with a note that says:

As Albert Einstein said, "Welcome to the Red Team!".  😺

don't worry cat memory human memory will be harvested by our living creator marry Magdalene so its not gone in vain but it not more than just a sensation

Nice photo!

We once had a long haired tom named Rolly, raised from a kitten.  

He had unique characteristics, lazy more than anything, but when you tried to pick him up, he would go completely limp, and I mean completely.  It was like picking up a wet dishrag.

He was also a good mouser, after they were caught in a trap.  He would bring them to you and let you know you had caught one.  One evening we heard several traps go off.  A few moments later we heard a clickity-click coming down the hall.  We were laughing before we even saw him because we new what it was.  He had a mouse, in a trap, in his mouth and 2 or 3 traps hanging from his long hair.  A site to behold.

What I really want for Christmas is to Win the lottery so I never have to worry about money again. It's a big ask, but you never know. I'd also settle for an X870E Motherboard because winning the lottery probably won't happen HAHA

[homebros]

Dear Santa,

What I want for Christmas is to win one of these god forsaken giveaways... lol

But for real, I want a new 4TB SSD, as I don't have enough game library storage on my pooter. Also, if I could get some cool rock climbing equipment too that would be sick.

Sincerely,

Best,

Regards,

Many thanks,

Get well soon,

Me

I want a high ground keyboard or maybe a new headset

[DtDrag]

From Santa this year I'd like an ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7700 XT Graphics Card. 😉

[SuperTinyPowerPC]

Hoping everyone has a happy and healthy holiday this year. I'm seeing lots of people get sick with colds lately and it really ruins celebration plans.

It would be nice to surprise someone with this GPU, but, for myself I'd ask Santa for a new pair of headphones. More realistically, I'll probably buy myself a soldering iron to fix my old ones lol! Happy Holidays everyone!

[ThreeDee]

I could wish for world peace, health, money, and happiness, but I'm just going to wish for a 9800x3D and motherboard to match!

[Canyonsedge]

Last One - Best One. This year, I am wishing for more time to relax and spend with my kids to teach them about coding, AI, building with their hands, and of course a merciless beating in whatever game they choose.
