Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The hard part is if something doesn't work. For whatever reason. Putting things together is easy, if it all works, nice, done. That's how all my builds went, so I don't actually know shit about troubleshooting. My friend build his first pc and nothing worked. I checked if it's all plugged in, nothing. He changed all the parts and at the end he had two faulty ram.

I have yet to build a computer that didn't POST on first boot, with one minor exception: My cousin's Ryzen 5600 machine. I built that in a Fractal Meshify 2 Mini, which has a front IO reset button, and I wired the Reset and the Power buttons backwards. I pushed the power button, nothing. I pushed the Reset button, it booted to the BIOS setup.

I THOUGHT I had a problem with my uncle's computer; but no, the monitor I was testing with chose to die during first POST. That monitor is behind three different trees now.
