Need some advice from you neets.
How do you handle gaming in this summer heat? It's almost unbearable to me. I play PS4 and PC and it feels like doomguy in hell in my house. What are some tricks you guys do to stay cool during these hard times.

>inb4 turn off the hardware
Fuck you, I want to play some games.
>>
>>340099181
You buy AC
>>
I live in Florida and I just sit right under a ceiling fan as I play PC games. Also have the air on all the time. Still gets hot as hell. Anywhere else in the house is pretty cool. There's just no escaping it. Take your shirt off and embrace the heat.
>>

AC literally stops this

This. It is a pleasant 66 degrees in my room right now and I live in fucking Texas.
>>
By having AC? Are there that many third worlders on /v/?
>>
>>340099181
A/C
Are you legit this retarded?
>>
maybe OP is a brit where people don't tend to have AC because it only gets hot like 10 days a year
>>
>>340099181
Buy a window AC unit
>>
>>340099181
If you're too fucked up to have AC just sit in the nude, or near nude, with fans on you. When I was broke and I couldn't afford to run my AC 24/7 I'd be sitting in underware, with one of those refreezable icepacks wrapped in a towel buried in my crotch.

Do that many people really have Air Conditioning? When it's hot I just open a few windows.
>>
how the fuck do you not have an AC in the year 20 fucking 16

im a semi-third worlder and even i have 4 ACs in my house
>>
>>340099483
Jokes on you, I am a third worlder but I have AC.
Electric bill is cheaper here.
>>
>>340099449
Depending on your house, your AC will freeze in Florida if you set it below 70 degrees because it will just never fucking turn off during the day.

Some houses have better circulation. But right now, I'm in a house that really almost needs two separate units.

I'm happy at 77, but it can get up to 80 when the gaming is going down.
>>
>>340099661
I live in the American south, you can't do that anyplace over here
>>
>>340099661
I live in Michigan so I'm pretty far up north and every house I see has a window AC unit, and I'm sure all the ones that don't have central air. It's only hot for 2 or 3 months out of the year.

I don't get why everyone's all stingy about AC, they cost half or a third of what a console goes for.

I don't own an A/C. I'm from CA. Is there any cheap alternative to an A/C? Didn't want to have to go out and spend a lot of cash on one.
>>
>>340099661

In the first world (namely the US) most houses come equipped with AC, and it's set to a standard temperature like 76 so if the house gets hotter than that the AC automatically turns on.

Heat is literally a non issue.
>>
>>340099792
just get a desk fan and point it at your face 24/7

A small window unit is pretty cheap

Fucking pussies

>>340099661
Where do you live? Summer here is around 90-100 degrees farenheight. I ain't opening a fucking window.

At least it's a dry heat here always. Nothing worse than humidity.
>>
>>340099479

This summer is just going to suck. The heat will be bad this year all over.

Just keep your game disks in the freezer.

>>
>>340099181

I have the same problem. No AC (doesn't get hot enough here for houses to have it) and I cannot open my window either because I freak the fuck out if I hear any bugs. Like for real, the buzzing noise they make sends me into a mad panic.

Shit is suffering.
>>
>>340100109
and thanks to trump global warming is going to get worse

it is going to be around 110F all week here in las vegas.

my fucking A/C has not turned off once during the daytime.

Only play handhelds and indie shit that doesn't stress your PC
Reverse your sleeping pattern, it's easy to sleep through the heat of the day and play vidya in the cool night
Install bug screens on every window and then never close them
Drink heavily

I'm going to wrap a fucking wet towel around my head like a dirty arab that works at 7-11. I ahve no A/C and this might be my only option.

Drinking alcohol raises body temperature and is a terrible idea in this scenario.

EVERYONE FUCKING POINT AND LAUGH AT THIS RETARD

>>340099792
You need air circulation no matter what.
You also need ventilation.

AC doesn't really require ventilation because it pushes heat out the back end, so it has built-in venting anyways.

Fans will work, but only so much if there isn't a way for air to reach cooler areas and return back to you.

So either open your door and have fans, preferrably floor fans pointed up so the cold air on the floor shoots up and falls over your room, turned on throughout your house.

Or buy AC.

AC costs $100 for a unit, and anywhere from $120-$300 in electricity bill.

Would you pay ~$250 to be not miserably hot? I would.
>>
>>340100502
but it's so hot right now, help me
>>
>>340100572
On the flipside, you probably live in Australia. I would rather live in perpetual summer than live anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.
>>
>>340100597

No, that's a myth.

Alcohol decreases body temperature but you get the sensation of warmth. Still useless though.

Just drink cold water

...

If it's 35 outside and 30 inside, opening the window will make it hotter. A/C actually cools air

>>340099930
The USA gets brutally hot. We are on the same latitude as southern Europe and North Africa in most spots

A lot of people live in places that typically don't get over 25C in the summer so AC isn't really necessary.

How do you live in the summer without AC? Especially being from Cali? This makes no sense. You can even get one of those really cheap ones for under $150 that you just stick in your window. Voila. 60 degrees in no time. Do all the gaming you want and even forget what season it is.
>>
Get a fucking air conditioner you dumb fuck.

If you can't afford it, go out to your local dumpster or ebay and get a fan

Nigger just buy an A/C unit off of craigslist or somewhere else cheap. It will cost you less than a game.

dont remind me op, fucking 35-37c summers. its not that hot, but damn humidity is near 100% all the time, you cant breathe and opening windows is just worse. theres an AC in the living room, which is quite cool compared to my room. the bedroom is even cooler. its a pain having to hold my rooms door open so the cold air from the living room can reach me...
