Yeah, it's at most a 10% decrease, but didn't want to mislead on it.

Processor may be a limiting factor going forward, as well as PCIE Gen 3 slot on motherboard, but you should still be able to get the majority of performance put of most GPUs. Look for Radeon 6600 or 6600 XT in your local market, or if you can find an RTX 2070 for a good price.

Going newer, a 4060 would also be a good choice, and DLS3 would be a good feature in your build, but that's pushing a little past your budget unless you find a good sale or used one.

Frodo was an orphan that never quite fit in at Brandy Hall. Some JRPG protagonists are left as fairly blank slates (Crono, Link), while Cecil of Final Fantasy IV was an orphaned prince, in Fire Emblem Marth loses his father and sister at the start if his adventure, and while not strictly a JRPG, Samus was raised by foster parents and was genetically modified to be a super soldier.

Sure, not every game or plot followed the trope, and there are plenty of great examples that break the trend or flesh the story out to carry it well, there's a reason "orphaned chosen one" is a trope in the first place.

It's also just something silly to point out and chuckle over. Sure, there are positive, story compelling reasons for a random commoner to be thrust into extraordinary situations and become a hero of the realm! But there's also little (normal) reason for Bob the Baker to leave his life as a staple of the community with a loving family and steady work to wander the realm facing dangerous monsters and delve into ancient tombs. When you find a way to make the later work, it's amazing, though!

And if/when they are successful at completing the unreasonable request, it's "huh, that's interesting. Must have been [nonsesne reason], and now you have to [moving of goalposts]."

And they will look at you with a straight face and say how much better the economy was under Trump. They really don't care about any other factors, they will literally attribute any good thing to have been the masterwork of Trump, and anything they don't like is some evil plot by Democrats intentionally structured to hurt them specifically.

Well adjusted individuals with a good social/familial network rarely become wandering mercenaries, but it's so refreshing when everyone else is an orphaned lone-wolf prodigy with secret ancestry in the royal family

It's Rage Against the Machine, not Rage Against Science and Medicine. They oppose systemic oppression, not health and safety.
