    Yeah, they don’t care. And they won’t care, even when it starts hurting them. They actually want this, we need to stop pretending they’re just uninformed victims. They arent, and they aren’t deserving of our charity or understanding

    Which sucks because I was going to wait for the next Gen CPUs to drop and the the rdna 4 cards Ray tracing performance before updating my current rig.

    With this uncertainty it looks like I’ll be building now.

        Yup and I was going to wait until next year for a price drop which as of late seems to be AMD’s trend of aggressive pricing to complete.

      Same. I want to upgrade big for MSFS2024 but now it feels like get it soon or don’t bother.

      It’s probably don’t bother.

      I was planning to wait for the GPD Win 5, hopefully with RDNA 4 integrated graphics. Those are already expensive; with the tariffs it’ll be ridiculous.

    this is a relief because i was starting to worry that video games weren’t expensive enough. when’s the last time we had a price hike on computer parts as dramatic as the ones in the 2021 supply shortage and scalping era? video games themselves are selling for only $70 + tip. come on, we can surely do better than that.
