You always hear people saying things like, "Gaming is bad for you, it rots your brain!" Well, in this case, they're wrong - because it quite literally saved someone's life.

We never thought we'd see the day when a gaming PC saves someone's life. Usually, they're fancy, glowing heated beds for cats, or become some hideous monstrosity that takes up half the room and looks like it costs more than the apartment itself. Gamers invest a lot in their PCs, especially if they're custom. But, despite all that money our gamer from Reddit's r/pcmasterace subreddit invested, it could never be more valuable than her life. We know that because a few nights ago, it actually saved her life, and after reading through her story, we can safely tell you that's she's very grateful.

She woke up in the middle of the night to glass shattering everywhere and a loud bang. She called the police and searched for the source of all the destruction. Turns out that her next-door neighbor's dog caused a freak accident that launched a projectile through the wall, into the gamer's apartment, and hit her (very expensive) gaming PC. The projectile hit the RAM, which deflected it away from her, essentially saving her life.

How the dog caused such an accident is a story for the police, but the impawtant thing is that the gamer, the dog, and the pawrent are all safe.

So, the next time someone gives you flak for investing in your PC setup, just remember, it could save your life one day! You never know the next time your neighbor's dog will have another "accident".

Mam, you didn't really need to clarify that you live in the United States. This is a story that would only happen in America. This is why foreigners think we're all insane, because of stories like this. The fact that her dog set off the whole incident smells fishy to us. Does her dog have opposable thumbs? If so, her story is more plausible. If not… we think she might be lying.

This is kind of like when your dad rips a really smelly toot and he blames it on the dog. The dog probably didn't do it, but the doggo has no way of defending himself, so dad gets away with it. Poor dog. He probably didn't do anything!
