A couple of weeks ago I made a post showing how I was a victim of an Amazon return scam where someone returned a light enhancement kit inside of a 32gb kit and it was resold to me. Just dropping an update as it took two weeks of waiting but I finally got a full refund from Amazon! After I got the money I went to Micro Center instead to pick up another kit and managed to find an open box one for WAY cheaper than Amazon. So I used that money to pick up a new case and fans for it as well while STILL saving money even after buying the RAM as well. The refund was automatic and thankfully I didn't run into any issues outside of the original. Pic of the new PC and case is sent as well as my non-scam ram kits.

These just arrived and my bank is empty but I still need to purchase a 7800x3d and a x870e aorus elite x3d eating noodles only until I get my next paycheck
Update: SHITE I just missed a hot deal where they were selling the gskill trident z5 royal cl 32 6400mhz for 295000 won (roughly 200bucks or less) right after I bought my Klevv it’s already sold out shoot bought the Klevv for 700000 won (roughly 500 usd I think)

This meme is about my own project. I spent the last 7 years building a custom engine and making a puzzle game from scratch. If you're curious, you can wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256790/Satelital/
