Stefan's redeemed himself now
The best thing I've seen all year 👍
I mean, he was still chucking out an excuse per minute, so...
@@Steve-eq8iz Agree, but for the most part I thought they were reasonable ones. The fact that he made this video at all makes him OK in my book.
Take what you will from this "redemption" but as a non LTT fanboy I'll say this, he still chose to do the video without any knowledge or research beforehand whether the Verge "made" him do it or not he could have at least looked at a tutorial. Then after his "guide" dropped he received some very fair criticisms, the guide was filled with so much misinformation and frankly horrible advice it could have cost people thousands of dollars in damages in following it. (yes, he also received a few unfair criticisms as well, but honestly don't we all? Sad trolls are all over the internet I'd be shocked if you've never dealt with such miserable people. This does not however excuse calling people "sad nerds" or mock people for being poor, or even throwing out baseless accusations of racism.) He chose to defend it of his own will for over two years (whether the Verge lawyers told him to or not is still unproven at this point, but I seriously doubt they told him to drop derogatory remarks on anyone who disagreed with him. It's not like the held a gun to his head to do it, a lawyer can't make you defend something in fact a real lawyer would have probably told him to not say anything at all.) Then in LTTs video he still makes the same exact excuses he has on Twitter in the past, while yes some excuses were valid, like his word vomit and the poor editing done by others showing numerous continuity errors and pointless wide shots, he still won't own up to his mistakes. He also will not ever apologize for the way he treated people, if you remember he never really received a large amount of hate until he started flaming the community that's when the "angry nerds" fought back. So idgaf if LTT made a video with him that doesn't change what kind of person Stefan is and bluntly I don't really care, he doesn't have to apologize if he doesn't want to just proves he's the jerk he seems to be, but an apology would at least be the start of a real redemption.
Also sorry for the formatting I couldn't be assed to word this more succinctly or make it less of a wall of text like I said this is a pretty stupid and pointless topic for me to put anymore effort in than a single paragraph. Just wanted to share my view.
Tl;Dr meh just don't bother reading it if a single paragraph with some run-on sentences is too much.
@@totallyrealname6376 I totally get where you're coming from, and in some ways I agree. The video was a step forward though, and you gotta give him some credit for taking fire like that.
I like how the Verge actually created one of the best PC building tutorials ever.......... by doing an awful job and then getting actual competent people to comment on the one hundred ways they fucked up, good job Verge.
jokes on you they disabled comments lol.
@@shobarani5521 Ho I know, they even took the video down at this point iirc, I mean the reaction videos popping up like this one, gives you a lot of points of view and more info, since it's hard for any one single person to remember all the info about something.
@@rafaelsousa5 yes.
They also made the TONS of ensuing memes, possible.
@@justinbeard4733 the dude that made the PC calls us losers on his recent tweet, @StefanEtienne
If the Verge posted this video on April 1st, it would've been hailed as an all time great satire skit.
Ain't that the truth. You almost couldn't write a funnier script.
@@aguyandhiscomputeryamato
I'm confident I could watch all the criticism for this build and then build an absolute kickass PC from it. And I e never built a PC before.
Me too, dude.
As someone who has watched a pc building video, read all of the criticism from that video and then used all of it to build my own pc, you absolutely could learn how to build a pc just from watching others watch someone build a pc.
These reaction videos actually gave me more tips than LTT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same
People learn how to make PCs by watching Verge PC Build REACTION videos. It definitely helped me 100%.
46:20 perfect bruh sound effect
bruh
I was looking to see if anyone else noticed the same thing
Lol the “insulating pads” they’re magic and keep the electrons from jumping to the case 😂
When I was taking cyber security and advanced systems management in uni I showed this to our teacher and ever since then he's showed it to his class. He tells them he's gonna show them a video on how to build a pc and gives the first person to notice how fucked everything is an early 10 minutes at break.
One he does that, he should show some of the best reactions
Hearing them talk about how 850 watts is insane takes me back 💀
I love how he said you need an Allen wrench and then never touched the thing
Shoulda used the anti racism bracelet
Hmm
36:50 "man he's making black people look stupid" 😂
@LadiesMainEvent you do understand that he most likely did not know that when he said that?
@LadiesMainEvent yeah since when did he talk about countries lmao
@LadiesMainEvent literally no one said american. the guy who said it is british lmao
@RetroLPWA The most racist people are the ones that see racism in everything
@RetroLPWA uh we're all black at the end of the day AA Caribbeans Africans from the motherland black Hispanics. We're all black. I don't get what you were even trying to say
You can't just stop watching poor Stefan try to show us how to build a computer.
And I have yet to build a computer myself.
Yeah sympathy for Stefan stopped when he went on a Twitter warpath of:
A) acting like he doesn't care while simultaneously responding to everything that's a low-key slag at him
B) refusing to own up the blunders and kept blame shifting, even when in the Linus video he was basically just "Nuh it duh vurge fault I dindoo nuffin"
C) the whole calling of honest criticism as "trolls, toxic gamers, etc" no surprise since he thinks like the company that employs him
The odd thing is, these are not mistakes that someone who is _bad at building computers_ would make. These are mistakes that someone who's never even _touched_ one would.
Like they just decided out of the blue they needed someone to do a build tutorial for them, so they just plucked a guy from their... their science news division or something, handed him a wikihelp article and a glossary, and said "just pretend you know what you're doing."
It's kind of hard for me to get angry at the guy. It's like getting someone who's never touched a stove to host a cooking show. For me, the blame's on whoever let it happen in the first place. And say what you want about how he handled it - he was _definitely_ on the recieving end of some pretty disgusting harassment.
BTW, demoning86420 - _"dindoo-nuffin"_ is a pretty well-known racist pejorative. So... you're actually kind of helping Stefan's defense here. Not saying anything, but I'm just sayin 🤷
A budget of $2,000 for PC hardware and they never bothered to invest in a basic set of handtools to help get the job done right.
That pretty much sums it all up about how much of a clusterfark this build wound up being.
That, and confusing a rubber band for an antistatic wristband as well as zip ties for tweezers, is so on-point for the Starbucks-swilling idiots of the Verge. These are people who can't figure out how to change a flat tire trying to build a gaming PC.
Screw PC build tutorials that try to put the fear of God into you about static anyway, it's such utter nonsense, unnecessary fearmongering that puts people off of wanting to build PCs themselves. I built my PC on my BED (well, a cutting mat on my bed) and it turned out fine, unless you got like an addiction to rubbing balloons on yourself you don't need to worry about static when building a PC, period.
@@zenksren8206 TL-DR: ESD Protection, just do it. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I may agree that the ESD risk may be overblown in some situations. For instance, there's very little ESD risk in the southeast United States in the summer because the ambient humidity is just too high. On the other hand, drier climates can have a higher risk.
But, it's important to point out that such damage has happened. Considering the cost in time and money to fix such problems, unlikely as they may be to occur, it would be wise to take precautions ... especially as warranties on these parts won't cover ESD damage as that's considered neglect.
@@zenksren8206 "unnecessary fearmongering that puts people off of wanting to build PCs themselves" if people can't be assed to put a single piece of ESD protection equipment on you then they should not care enough to build their own rig, I also built my rig with out any, although I did not go as far as doing it on my bed and thankfully nothing happen because otherwise I would have been down components on a rather expensive system, but case in point is it DOES happen, so no you don't need a balloon rubbing addiction that is just spreading misinformation, depends on a lot of things and has a very easy fix that can result on a lot of more hassle than just getting ESD protection in the first place.
@@zenksren8206 I think most people would rather drop 2 bucks on something that can prevent something that they can't control that can fuck up possibly expensive equipment.
In that $2000
$500 actually go to the pc build and the rest goes to the food and accesories hAhAhAhA
Thank you for time stamping Muta
Subscribed because of that
25:02
That's my favorite part of Richie's reaction to the PC Build video. Nobody cares about how fancy your PC looks in the inside, and it's baffling that Stefan in this video would.
I mean that is rather subjective, people *do* care, but in this particular case sacrificing that much performance is just retardation.
Edit: Re-reading it I see now you probably meant *other* people don't care not as in no rig owners care.
"It looks like I gave a 4 year old a crayon and told him to paint something!"
The thermal paste memes just keep coming 🤣🤣
" man he making black people look stupid " LMAO i died
Not gonna lie, that video inspired me to build my own PC. I built it 1.5 years ago. Thanks to the guys reacting that showed me how.
The verge video was actually a thermal paste ad
46:20 BRUH button
50:14 probably the best laugh out of the whole video
Motherboards being very durable is very true. When i was making my PC i ended up forgetting to screw it in to the case cause i was distracted then when i lifted the PC up it fell hard. But at the end of the day is was still working fine two years after.
Thats the thing that's ALWAYS bugged me about the video its a fact that it isn't just the guy in the video that this video had to go through before being posted. Like multiple people saw this (people from a tech review website) and were like yep this is good let's post this. Like the first time I watched it I legitimately no joke looked at the description expecting to see that it was posted on April 1st
This video comes from people who think using a MacBook and sipping a Starbucks frappuccino qualifies them as an expert on technology.
2.1 million subscribers but doesn't own a single screwdriver or know what a zip tie is called is truly representative of Gen-Z
Muta's laugh though.
I don't know shit about building a PC and I still absolutely love this shit.
Reviewtech, Gundam, and Muda. I appreciate their inclusion.
What you guys talking about?
It is a good guide.
I followed everything.
Now I can also cook a stake inside my PC.
How cool is that bruh?
An aside about the messy cable management in the video- that is exactly how cable management used to be, like in the early 2000's, but with the kind of case that is shown in the video, there is NO EXCUSE for cable management- cases with glass side panels exist to proudly display the components inside and look nice, and airflow is a lot more important in that kind of case than those of back then. Also things are a lot more standardized nowadays. NO. EXCUSE.
What I love the most about The Verge is that they had the balls to call everyone racist and every race is united against this shit.
And anyone who is of the same race as Stefan (or just non-white in general) gets accused of "internalized racism."
You can't win with these people.
Typical.
And I thought MY cable managing was bad! He didn't even try!
People will NEVER forget this, and his outrage and double downs.
I think this "Verge" guy is a fucking hero.
I rarely laught so hard in my life than this time during this video.
This video must be one of the most original PC build videos ever made👍🏻
He kinda is,you can learn a lot about pcs as a beginner with this video with streamers pointing out the mistakes and why it's wrong
Well well well, what a movie!
I once built a PC on top of my bed.
With was on a cold rainy day in Autumn, March 14th, 2021, my 26th Birthday.
ayy putting in my boy muta thanks lol
Ironically I learned so much about pc building from this video and it's aftermath. Thanks The Verge.
36:54: As a fellow Black nerd, I wholeheartedly agree.
1:01:22 "This had to be like his second build ever" I have built my pc in 2019 and it was the first time. The cable management on the front are perfect and I could have improved the look on the backside by adding zip ties but I didn't feel it was needed because it looks pretty good in my case already. I mean, I already watch all types of tech youtubers so I knew all the basics and how to connect everything other than where to put the cables on the power supply but man, he could have just watched the Bitwit tutorial on how to build a pc (which is the absolute best one on youtube IMO) before building it which would take an hour and no one would even suspect that he is new to computer building XD
I live how the majority of the commentary from the guy with COD gamplay is just him questioning how dude has a job 😂😂😂
That's Gundam for you. He's honestly hilarious lol
I don't know. I've learned a lot because of this. I learned what not to do, with a level of confidence that I haven't from other videos. honestly.
been building PC since I was 10 years old. My father would always try to discourage me good thing I never stopped.
When I built my computer I haven't heard of The Verge PC Build yet and I actually used a Swiss army knife to tigen the screws because it was a muddy Thanksgiving day and I didn't want to travel to the tool shed to get a set of screw drivers. My dad got two screw drivers from garage when I was half way done
When I assembled my first PC I didn't know anything and it turned out 100% better and safer than this one!
36:50 Humans
Wait, I have never seen this upload. This came out of nowhere! 😳😳😳 this is the best one yet rather than that one other one.
Just subbed. You have good quality that deserves more subs
The postmodern pc-builder.
Plot twist:
Someone in the year 2100: I am proud to say that in the last century, we have made great strides on the technological front such as livelong bracelets which can be used as antistatic bracelets, twist ties that can act as tweezers and swiss army knives that sometimes include a screwdriver in it. Our most recent invention are insulating pads that prevent power sources from short circuiting a whole system disguised as sound dampening pads.
This guys kids/grandkids: Take that you bastards.
That timeline got snapped
34:06 Best part of the video
A new verge pc building video edit?? Let's goooo
Now he streams Tarkov, running about 12fps
I only just came to watch this version, so I apologize for my lateness.
I do appreciate how everyone brought up how the "overhype" issue is actually a thing. I do find myself sometimes staring at Godzilla PCs sometimes, with 196 GB of RAM and four GPUs because I feel like if I don't have ALL THE POWER that I'm somehow going to get left behind or that I'm going to get screwed in some way, when literally my roughest tasks on my computer are modded Minecraft, Stellaris and No Man's Sky. I don't need all of that, but the hype train, combined with "if you don't have newest card, you can't have RTX-3D-NLSS-Super-whatever," here is my broke butt looking at that computer which is literally $80K USD.
And also, in the same vein, people brought up the video-editing issues. In order to dig myself out, information has been my best friend (autism made me fixate on getting the Godzilla desktop, so why can't I dig myself out by learning why it's a bad decision? Redirection is key.) So one of the things I have learned is that GPUs that have the biggest memory and capacities aren't always the best for gaming: there's video-editing GPUs, which are slower on the turn-around but can handle more shit on their desk, so to speak, and then there are gaming GPUs, which are designed to respond immediately but ultimately carry less by a certain limit. While you can run something like Pro Cut on a gaming PC, conflating the two types is a bad idea: a part of what I wanted the 80k monster for was because it had PNY Nvidia GPUs, that had some 48 GBs or larger of memory on each card, but that won't help as much as it sounds nice because those giant cards are meant for processing videos, not for playing games.
Given that context, by the way, while it could also be that he made what others on the original Supercut declared an "expensive DIY fireplace" in the comments, that could be why the computer in the end runs like absolute ass. If he put the memory in wrong, so he only has one 8 GB, slow as molasses DDR4 stick, and he put a 1080 in there that was meant for video editing and not for gaming, then no shit Sherlock would he only have 80 frames in a fucking airplane and be stuck playing his favorite game, League of Legends.
Garbage in, garbage out.
"Gotham City Survival Tools" guy has eyes like he's seen some shit. Like that's Batman doing a "Why this crime was stupid" video.
Thankyou for a longer version 🤣
I remember watching reactions to this verge video back in 2018. It's how I discovered It'sagundam and I was also a complete novice with PC gaming🤣 It piqued my interest in building my own PC and I started watching other PC build channels and did research that culminated in me finally building my first PC in 2021. The reactions to the Verge video showed me that PC building wasn't so hard, if you just follow instructions and don't follow bad instructions😊👍
cool compilation bro,, just suggestion next time normalize for all the volumes.. others are too loud and others are too quiet but thanks for this content
PC Part Builder is a good recommendation 10:08
This is why you are supposed to do research.
I build my 1st PC about 4-5 days ago
But before I did I watch multiple guides and for the most part they were similar except for small differences.
I didn't get it right the very 1st time all 4 of my fans were not coming on and was getting a red light. Took everthing apart put it back together and disconnected wires that could be the culprit and fixed the problem.
This guy obviously is good at talking and making things seem more than what they are.
He probably cost people lots of money smh.
holy sht Muta from a frontal angle looks almost alien to me lmao
Thanks, I took the yoga mat out from underneath my PSU.
I imagine that dude had never built a pc before (so why did they choose him?) and he probably had someone go over it all with him before hand, but then he started forgetting things and when they started filming, instead of stopping and asking for clarification, he just started improvising and going with it...
Right
The biggest fail of the video wasn't that you need a table it was that he didn't mention you need hands
"Whatever you want to call it." But don't call em tweezers 😂
If that video were uploaded on april 1st, it would be a success, but they managed to blew it up.
Their reactions are priceless 🤣😂😅
With ItsAGundam, at about 25:10...
Honestly, I just feel that employers hire people who are just incompetent at that job because they only want charismatic people that they can give barebones wages to.
It's like, if you're good and very qualified at that job, you might want a raise or a higher pay rate. Some places don't like that because they want to cut as many costs as possible.
They don't want people getting promoted something something Henry principle of competency
What’s more insane is there are literally instructions for every single part that tell you how to install each part. someone that’s never built a PC would be better off, going purely off the manuals. It’s like these guys had no idea how to do it and didn’t look at a single manual.
Genuine question. Why are the ram slots set up so that the slots are staggered for the same channel? Is there any reason its set up that way? Cause if i was a layman i’d think that the slots were meant to be paired together.
Did he literally use his "tweezers" and just wrap them around 1 cable each?
Love how this video is exactly what you SHOULDN’T do when building a PC :D
“Fake gtx 780? Yeah we got one”
This guy is awesome 😂
Lmaooo this comment made my day🤣🤣🤣
just to clarify, this was all done on the 7th century invention most commonly known as a f*cking "table"
Let's face facts. Despite the age of this video 'tutorial' its an eternal gift that keeps on giving. If anything, it has riled up the smart tech people to post best practice methods for building bass-ass PC's. Best of al the critics are universally united in crucifying the Verge.
So far I've upgraded 1 existing PC, assembled 2 new PCs, one for personal use and one for my brother, the only error or mistake I have done was putting the RAM the wrong slots for duel channel, that's it.
All with just my hands and a phillips head screw driver.
But…can it run Crysis.
.
.
.
No because it’s the CRISIS
I just thought of something... What if he's putting so much thermal paste because he installed his cooler and fans wrong and this is how he keeps it fucking cooling?
That's not how thermal paste works. You either squeeze out all the extra paste out the side anyway, or your thermal paste layer becomes too thick and hampers your cooling performance.
This is a troll video, this can’t be real!!
This never gets old ahahahaa
The cable "management" in that pc mirrors my mind trying to figure out how this guy got a job. How the verge exist. How the people that work there manage to put there pants on in the morning (I gotta theory that they just stay dressed all the time with multiple layers of clothes but thats another thing lmfao) and how this video managed to make it through the people at the verge. Like how does any company with any knowledge at all about computers let this video be posted with their name on it?
It's a daughter company of Vox, all they care about is pushing the California rhetoric
it's like they wanted to find how badly you could put together as pc and still have it run.
Maybe if it was an I9-9900KS, (not "k") then Maybe you can say "Yeah we got one!".
you have to plug your grounding bracelet directly into the wall socket. only way to be sure.
How the hell don't they have a NORMAL screwdriver?!
He's actually using his swiss army knife that hopefully has a Phillips head screwdriver 🤣
I built my first PC on the carpet LMAO
I've never built a pc, in fact I bought a $750 pre built one by Skytech and the first thing I did to test it was install a shit ton of mods for fucking Minecraft out of all games and I can barely get over 40 fps, seeing someone play League as a "benchmark" was actually painful, I could fucking run that on my shitty $150 Chromebook if I could install it
1:24 hello Linux!
17:33 Damn, the ram install tip was usefull. had no clue and always did it side by side >
5:29 yes its called an allen key
I wonder what kind of machine was their editor using
this is honestly one of the best worst things ive ever seen. it isnt even funny at a point because you start to think that this guy couldve built OTHER PEOPLES PCS. LOL
1:03:03 when your build is so bad even your own race is disgraced by it
To be fair. . .if anyone watched xQc build his pc . . .on the floor. . . The table could be an actual recommendation. :D
I was suppose to include xQc in this video. But I change it to someone who is more technical and gives more context to the crappy Verge tutorial video, which is Greg Salazar (Science Studio).
I built mine on the floor, lots of space and as long as you’re not on carpet it’s fine. Maybe not great for your feet/back though
I think the manufacturer parts which were used in the verge video had to release statements that they had absolutely no intention or knowledge about the use of their parts in the verge video.
I'd like to assume as well that they issued apologies on their behalf as well.
"Screw with confidence." Should be used in Sex Ed.
Can we all get a Yeeeeoooowww in the comments for the motherboard and cpu he drowned in thermal paste.
57:19 hahaha
Didn't know Mutahar reacted to this
The people at verge set him up bro
I've built one computer in my life, 6 months strong without a hitch. I definitely made mistakes whilst building it. But I did my research beforehand, and even as a beginner, this tutorial is hard to watch
