          If someone proposed to me with a high-end GPU I think that would seal the deal honestly

            And you open the box and it is an intel GPU.

          I went with a 1kg collar last time, so I’m likely a terrible person to ask. Wasn’t my intent, but it turns out that much steel is really heavy.

              I mean, that’s a very valid point. She still wears it eight years after the divorce because her “neck felt wrong without it.”

        Not gonna lie; I would be in favor of giving a ring with a GPU attached on it rather than a diamond.
