Lol, risotto takes like 30 min to make. The hardest part about putting a PC together isn't the assembly, it's picking out what parts you want and then buying them all.

For me it's dealing with my indecision of balancing cost and performance and then the obsessive need to find the best deal for every part I picked.

But yeah my main point was I think you're overestimating how long risotto takes to cook.

This. Last time I built a PC I spent a week researching all sorts of components only to end up with an incompatible motherboard anyway, having to send it back and order something else.

Building the whole thing took around an hour, not a big deal, but everything else that went into it... It's like having to start your risotto by planting rice.

Yeah those are solid points. My mistake

No worries, my main criticism was mostly cuisine based. But seriously, if you ever want to impress someone with a home cooked meal, risotto is a really easy but flashy meal. I honestly think it's one of the easiest ways to cook rice.
