With no context whatsoever my first thought was it was one of those "uh oh, if the thermal paste is on my hand, then that must mean I accidentally put the cum on my cpu..."
I will be deleting this shortly I am sorry
Edit: Most upvotes I've gotten on Lemmy. Listen to the guy below. Live your truth, lemmings.
You made a good joke, dont let thine shame and cowardice control thee.
Welcome to puberty.
You're never piloting the robot version of your mother ever again.
It means that it’s a sexy GPU
I believe it’s a recreation of a scene from one of the endings of Evangelion. My hazy guess is the movie “End of Evangelion.” Asuka (on the GPU) lies unconscious in a hospital bed. Shinji (incel protagonist) stands over her. He shuts the door to the hall and breathes heavily for a few seconds, then this shot with white instead of gray.
Hello? Yes, I'd like to have unread what I just read. Yes, I'll hold.
Yeah, I read that and… the author is still a piece of shit.
Don't do this to me
Lol wtf
well, that is some much needed context, otherwise I would’ve had a much different perspective on the narrative and the characters going on as i’ve never seen the show. I actually find it charming, oddly, that the writers worked this way. thanks!
God I don't understand why people love this anime.
I know it's a deconstruction of the super robot. I know that shinji has a plausibly realistic reaction to his situation, especially as an unwilling Eva pilot. That doesn't make me wanna watch the psychological unravelling of a child until he becomes completely insufferable and wanks it over his comatose friend. Why does anyone wanna watch that, no matter how powerful?
Thomas Manga: "No, I just wanted to make him jerk it."
Good explanation. I think many people miss out the point of Shinji. Too many people assume that protagonists are always people that you should aspire to be, but Shinji's messed up self and traumatic past is something that still resonates with many youth today.
Thanks for the explanation. Makes more sense that way
Evangelion is one of those anime where the author starts shitting on the fans towards the end because the 15 year old males in the audience see themselves in Shinichi. Those same fans started sending him death threats when the end of the main show points out he is not a good person, and the harem that wants to sleep with him actually don't want to sleep with him because he's going to save the world but because they require therapy.
It’s been a long, long time, but I don’t recall having the impression that any of the so-called harem actually desired him at all. Rei was apathetic toward everything, I don’t recall Asuka showing anything but competitiveness, disdain, and occasional grudging respect, and Misato treated him like a kid brother. And yeah everyone needed therapy!
Wait
That's What the fuck man what
I mean… It’s not wrong. The main character is a fucking creep.
It's probably the most accurate description I've ever heard of shinji
I don't think you're an incel as a teenager, dude is just horny
If that's what it looks like when he finishes, he needs to see a doctor.
It honestly took me a few seconds to get.
I'm ashamed it took me that long
I'm even more ashamed I got it at all
It all returns to nothing
If they’re a repair tech, they have thermal paste in bulk. That was maybe $3 worth of paste. Probably much less.
it looks like any other grey thermal paste I've ever seen, what exactly made you think it's this specific expensive paste?
Well there is a tube of that thermal paste in the background
I know ,but still a waste and what repair technician would do this if someone left a review with this attached no one except evangelion fans would understand the reference others would think the guy was into objectophilia.
"wasted" is completely relative. I would pay 30-50 euros for a cool design of a GPU.
I've never understood this about GPUs, why are they all designed so that the cool-looking decorated part with the fancy heat spreader and fans and LEDs and stuff are facing downwards?
Rgbs most of the time are spread apart and you can see the individual diodes, but the designs probably because the fans but you can still make cool designs with them like usb fans they draw a simple image using blades you do realize how cool that would be!!!
最低だ、俺って
気持ち悪い
This kills the man.
On a not really related note, having Asuka or Rei as a waifu is fucking weird as an adult right? They're like 14?
Is it wrong to remember your first time if it happened when you were a kid? Same thing.
Is it though?
Okay but know you're comparing a spouse and child to A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD ANIME GIRL
Is it the 50 year old teacher/coach/priest touching 15 year old boys, or is it the 15 year old boy inside the 50 year old just exploring his sexuality?
People like them have always thought that. Being into anime = being a pedo, it doesn't matter that it's now mainstream, these people have thought the same thing for decades.
Honestly it looks like he squirted heat sink goo all over the place (you're supposed to put it between the cpu and heat sink to let the heat transfer more efficiently). Why he liberally applied it to his hand like jergens and sent you a pick i couldn't say. But I would wipe the machine down real well when you get it back 🤣
It’s a reference to Asuka (the character on the GPU), and a very creepy scene near the end of the series. The main character jerks it over Asuka’s unconscious body, and we see his hand covered in white fluid (just like the thermal paste is covering the hand in this pic) afterwards.
It’s a symbolic scene that is meant to turn the audience against the main character. Basically, he starts his journey with a very similar shot of his hand covered in blood. And the scene of him jerking it over an unconscious girl’s body is basically the end of his journey as a “good” guy. Evangelion is a very psychological show; The series is meant to turn a bunch of tropes on their heads, and it actively works against the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” trope. It accepts that what doesn’t kill you probably leaves you traumatized. So by the end of the series, all of the characters who started out as heroes have ended up broken and hurting, and are basically treated like Vietnam veterans.

There's a scene in evangelion where the mc jerks it over an unconscious asuka (the character on the video card in the background) and nuts all over his hand.
He covered his hand in thermal paste as a reference.
It's a (intentionally) creepy scene and extremely off-color for a repair tech to send this to a customer, IMO. Good thing it's probably fake.
