It'll be like the Turkish tylenol, all Bayer or whoever makes Moderna will need to do is buy the UCP a Game 7 suite, and it'll be monnnneey in the bank. And we'll be paying 110 to probably shoot saline into our arms, knowing the accountability track record this government has.

Good luck Mitchy! A fresh start is in everyone's best interests here. It's going to light a fire under his ass too.
I showed my son that chase the other day, and lol he was like why is everyone driving so slow, is that because they are old cars?
If you could happen to fall into a 5800x or a 5800x3d for a decent price (getting harder to find I'm sure), I'd skip the upgrades and AM5. It doesn't look like it's going to go the distance like AM4 did, there's already AM6 talk going on for 2027. There's very little real world actual advantage to AM5 vs 4, it's just largely more anti-consumer behaviour and marketing from PC chipmakers.
Maybe to their inventory department too, because let's be frank, that's what AMDs downfall really will be. Every product launch for them is now a faux launch, because no one can get their hands on the hardware. It's not quite as bad for the processors, but their GPUs? Forgeddaboutit.
That last one is especially horrifying. You don't own games when you cloud game, you simply lease them. We all know what that's done for the preservation of games. Not to mention encouraging the massive amounts of shovel ware that we get flooded with.
Problem is preordering has been normalized, as has releasing games in pre-alpha state.
It's just kind of unnecessary. Gaming in 1440p on something the size of your average computer monitor, hell even just good ol' 1080 HD, is more than sufficient. I mean 1080 to 4k sure there's a difference, but 1440p it's a lot harder to tell. Nobody cares about your mud puddle reflections cranking along in a game at 120 fps. At least not the normies.
Putting on my dinosaur hat for a second, I spent the first decade of my life gaming in 8/16 bit and 4 color CGA, and I've probably spent the last thirty years and god only knows how much money trying to replicate those experiences.
Not to mention the cards have gotten huge and you just about need a nuclear reactor to power them. Melting cables and all.
Those cards were like what though, $199?
Fuck those guys too honestly. AMD is fueling this bullshit just as much as Nvidia.
You'll find low rent trailer trash breed like spider monkeys. There's lots of decent folks in Alberta, just massively outnumbered by hillbilly, Dodge Ram driving, grade 6 dropouts. Won't somebuddah just THINK about mah oil, etc. etc.
