Why would you even want to? It's not 98 days anymore, NT kernel can handle uptimes longer than 24 hours.
I like to make my games stutter because memory is full so I can complain about poor optimisation on forums.
I turn mine on when I wake. Turn it off when I sleep. Disabled fast boot too. (but it's okay cuz 960 EVO lol.) Fast boot is bad because it never actually shuts down your Windows or forces drivers to reload, it just saves an image of current session and stores it on your HDD to resume it next time you turn your PC on. Boo to that.
Fresh start for Windows everyday is good. The ol' "Have you tried restarting it?" adage is a thing for a reason.

So having a computer running 24/7 for no apparent reason is a thing? It's not a server you are running. I rather have my computer shut down when I am not using it and save money
Damn lol....
Well what are the chances of me getting a dead 2080ti if it's a prebuilt pc :x?
I shut down my PCs too
When is it a issue if you don't shut down ?
Had a customer who had his computer in sleep mode and never shut down once in 3 months straight, ended up being slow. Shut down the PC and turned it back on - no issues ;p

Smash, much like Pokemon, is just one of those things that I'll never understand.
But then again I love Farm Sim and Fallout 4, so wtf do I know, lol.
Most people love Fallout 4, Smash and Pokemon...Farm Sim though...you are weird :P
Modern computers take almost as much energy in sleep mode then they do passively when off.
This is from 2006 and the stats have been getting better since.

As small as it is, surely even in sleep mode though it's still more than if it were just turned off?
I'm sure it's small but as a point of best practice I imagine it's still best just to turn stuff off.
I don't really get it. My computer boots in like 10s, there's no need to keep it running. I also unplug my PS4 and TV when not using it.
I'm already paying an environmental tax on every parts of my computer, it gives me the right to let it run 24/7.
My PC also doubles as a file server. I sometimes also need to remotely access it.
Keeping it running for days? I definitely turn mine off when I'm not using it, same for my other devices.
I turn my computer off every night or if I'm going to be out for a while. It boots in 15 seconds, so I don't know why I wouldn't.
Ever since I started doing this (about 5 years ago), about 80% off the little hitches or glitches or stutters or oddities have completely disappeared. Windows likes being shut down.
Also, the "it's harder on your computer to turn it off and on" is complete and utter horse shit.

I turn mine off when not using it for an extended period of time. No way would I leave it running overnight or when I'm not home.
Yes, but it's based on what I consider ridiculous presumptions. Thinking the power is gonna stay on? Think again!
Besides, I don't know which OS I'm gonna use next time, and the hibernations can be messed up by as little as presence of another OS, so, umm. No.
Wow. Very cheap. Almost tempting now in spite of the awful marketing
Yeah this one makes sense.
