This is one of the biggest things that bums me out with Blender or 3D animations in general is the fact that without a good PC you can't really do anything. IDK why it keeps me up at night but the thought of something happening to my machine and losing all ability to work on stuff in Blender makes me reconsider why I even got into it in the first place.

I'm not that good, or good at all at 3D animation but can only imagine if I was and needed crazy hardware. I'm rocking a Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1660 SUPER OC with 16GB RAM which is what I saved up for this last 2 years to get and I've been discouraged to even continue because I'm nothing without my hardware.

I come from a programming background where I can do my work on a Raspberry Pi if I really wanted so I've never been concerned about hardware, but it feels so easy to lose it all over some stupid shit.

I've been a pretty depressed artist lately if you can't tell.
