So, Sunny is officially broke and screwed

[SuperSunny]

I'm broke, I don't have a job and I haven't been accepted for what I've applied for so far. My video card decided to spasm and fry on me. (x700 Pro 256 MB) The only one I had (my 9600xt is kinda dead, but that's an old PC) And, now, I can't do any Halo editing, or anything that involves my personal hobbies. For the first time in 4 years, I'm locked out of doing any personal work, and there isn't much I can do.

TBH, I cant believe I'm doing this, but, if it's possible, it would be incredibly awesome if I could set up a donation to try to get a new card. I basically have no other way of getting one, except for waiting to get a job and then earning up to it, which I don't know how long that will take, or, doing this.

My PayPal account is SunnySharma@gmail.com. If I do get a card, I plan to get one around the 100 dollar range (100 to 130), probably an Nvidia GeForce 8600. Not too expensive, not too crazy, but does the job better than my fried x700 does. If anyone has anything extra, even a dollar, some amount to build up to that, it would be fantastic and I will love you forever and ever.

Now, to be honest again, I have no idea how to set this up. If it's possible to just send to a PayPal account, or what, but I think that's the right way.

Thank you~!

Well if I donate to you a good deal of 100 to 130, will you do my bidding for a map that I want made for h2v ;)?

[Emmzee]

Get a job, hippy.

I'll see what I can do.

[Apoc4lypse]

meh... i wudnt ask online for money, but it could work, you already got korn it looks like, but you have skillz so yeah.

If it were me I'd be applying for jobs till I got one, then with my free time, well, skateboarding... swimming, rock climbing. Those are my other summer time activities. I can't stay inside all day sitting down at a pc, my ass will start to hurt. :eyesroll:

Speaking of which, I'm still trying to get a job... :D

[Kornman00]

I think Sunny is only a fresh 17 year old, so not many good jobs would be available to him. Don't waste your time at fast food places Sunni. Been there, done that, No.

[randreach454]

You guys are sad.. Ill be 18 later this month, and have been working for almost 2 years now..

Seriously, if you want money that bad, I wouldnt say pssh fuck that place im not working there.. Money is money, and Im still where I started 2 years ago, and Im going full time now next week since i graduated in june and I NEED more cash to pay off my newly bought car, I just got an hour ago :p

Sunny, Im sure theres plenty of places around where you are.. Supermarkets, fast food, pharmacys, etc etc.. I work 20 minutes from my job in the next town over, and next week when I go full time Im transfering to a store I already partially work at, a half hour away........

Apply at every place you can even if you dont think youll get a job or even want one there. And be sure to follow up with a phone call in a week or so..

Its all about truely wanting a job and committing yourself..

Persevere and you will succeed.

[Bastinka]

Blue-collar employers should be begging for young workers in the middle of the summer, not vice-versa.
Unforunately, nowadays forty year old Mexicans are getting all of the jobs that are supposed to go to sixteen year old Americans.

[Archon23]

Same thing happens with asians with a very bad accents. At least here it does.

[Emmzee]

Speaking of which, I'm still trying to get a job... :D
You and me both. You torch one Quizno's and you're blacklisted from every job in town. Where's the love?

[Masterz1337]

Prostitution is always an option sunny. ;)

I was about to suggest being a pimp, but that always works. :-3

My first job wasn't a paid mission. I volunteered at a Senior Center during the summer for about 50 days before I started 8th grade. I did various work for my dad who does a shit load of executive bill gates type crap nowadays for tech and software companies. I worked a subway like fast food place for a while. Fuck that shit.
Last job I had before enlisting was programming a pocketpc version of a gradebook program for teachers by a texas based software developer. Did the base app in 14 hours one friday night and spent the rest of my time before I shipped improving and updating it to my employer's pleasing (pretty much every two weeks I'd get a email saying, "hey it would cool if...").
Speaking of, I should get in contact them and see how thats been holding up...

you there sir, deserve some rep

[Lightning]

Sunny, I'd actually suggest getting an x1600xt (newegg has them for ~80)

They're cheap, work really well, etc, etc. I'm using it.

Oh, and you can Crossfire em too :P

NO.

[Bastinka]

NO.
YES.

[legionaire45]

X1650 Pro (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161036) mb. And even then, don't bother. Get a 2400 XT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102699) or an 8500 GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814145145).

[Kornman00]

Make up your minds

[InnerGoat]

2400 XTThere is no :gonk: big enough...

[randreach454]

my x1600pro 256mb agp works fucking fine, it gets the job done with 3d modeling and h2v.......

Go as cheap as you can around that type of card..

[SnaFuBAR]

what slot do you have, sunny? agp 8x or what?

[paladin]

Payday was this morning, I might be able to help.

[SuperSunny]

what slot do you have, sunny? agp 8x or what?

PCI-Express 16x

[Bodzilla]

Although cheap and good, a DX10 card would do better in the long run.

[randreach454]

uh a dx9 card would hold you over till you get off your butt and get a job tho...

be happy some people are willing to just give you money.. but dont abuse it for something that you truely dont need, and thats dx10..

edit: and maybe in the longrun after you buy a dx10 card, you can give back to this awesome community, by perhaps holding a contest with your old dx9 card as a prize or something.. just a thought.

[Teroh]

I wish I could help you out Sunny but I have no way to send anything to you. :saddowns:

Oh be nice, RandReach. He's probably been in this community longer than you. Also, he's been quite graceful to the community. If there's a handful of people I truely trust/love in this community - one of them is surely SuperSunny. And yes, in the most brotherly/heterosexually way possible.

Anyways, as for his old DX9 card as a prize? HAHA! I laugh, because this thread is about how his old one DIED!

[Digikid]

hmm...I will see what I can do as well.

[SMASH]

I think I can donate about $10 via paypal.

Oh how you misunderstood what i said.. I meant he should get a dx9 card now to replace his old one since theyre cheap and since some people are helping him.. Then he gets a job, gets money, gets dx10, hands off the dx9. Giving back to the community.

And I've actually been with the modding community before halo pc came out, and thats when sunny joined. Im just not as talented as himself I will say.

Also, me and sunny used to talk, and I respect him just as much as I respect everyone else who's done good for the halo community.
Thanks!

[SuperSunny]

If I'm completely out of limit, I'll get a dx9 card, they do appear to be much cheaper.

And thank you, btw!

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!

[Rosco]

I think Sunny is only a fresh 17 year old, so not many good jobs would be available to him. Don't waste your time at fast food places Sunni. Been there, done that, No.

I found that the problem at that age is, you need roughly 1 years work experiance for jobs you'd enjoy doing, I remember my brother having the same problem, he didnt have the experiance for what he wanted to do, and of course, if no-one will let him in because he doesnt have experiance, then he cant get a job. :(

[Limited]

I'd help you our sunny but to be honest I;m not in a great situation either. The dudes at my job arent sure when they want me this summer and thats even if they do =\

I got a $30k debt for the next 3 years. My old gfx card broke about 4 months back havent played games since but new card coming monday :)

So yeah, it is survivable, only just though >_<.

[Tweek]

bump for RIGHTEOUSNESS

also because sunny > bump

[Kornman00]

What the fuck... 30 fucking GRAND worth of debt?

Someone needs to lay off the sluts slots

Jesus Christ. How the fuck does one get $30,000 in debt.

[Roostervier]

Oh hai. Sunny, I just got an nVidia 8800 GTS... I'd be willing to send you my ATI RADEON x1650xt. It gets a decent 40 to 60 fps on it in H2V =p.

[Emmzee]

Jesus Christ. How the fuck does one get $30,000 in debt.
Student loans?

[Limited]

What the fuck... 30 fucking GRAND worth of debt?

Someone needs to lay off the sluts slotsLOL damn thats alot of sluts :P

College/Uni sadly I'm in debt of the government =\

&#163;3000 a year for cost of tuition
&#163;2000 a year for my maintence loan (rent, food, beer etc)

So its like $30000 roughly.

Better than my sisters fiancee, hes going for commersial pilot training so hes taking out &#163;70,000 (about $140,000) debt for 5 years, thats how much training costs but worse is his is with the bank so he pays interest, I dont because its from government.

holy fuck, thats exactly me. I don't have work experience yet they want work experience, but no one will give me work experience because that requires work experience?

I say go to college, through whatever Government funding shit you guys have, that'll pay for your courses and just get as many qualifications in as many courses as you can. Hospitality and Retail are good ones to fall back on when looking for work, if you move. You could work in a cafe or assistant chef or something, while you look for something more full time.

[Archon23]

Better than my sisters fiancee, hes going for commersial pilot training so hes taking out &#163;70,000 (about $140,000)

lolwut?

Every single open job here requires work experience. So my sister really can't get a job. So its off to college and loans!

[DaneO'Roo]

^ yeah.....his sisters fiancee is obviously a man.....otherwise that'd make her a lesbian......


duh
