I suspect that has a lot to do with it. I do wonder how much of those deals were above board and how much of them were… not.

I’m running with a rig I built in 2018. I’d hoped to upgrade around the 10-year mark, buuuuuuuut I might see if I can wring a little more life out of everything longer. My 2080 Ti is, thankfully, still chugging along but I’m sure that won’t be forever.

Yet another hobby I’m quickly becoming priced-out of

I refuse to believe that these component shortages weren’t at least somewhat intentional

I gotta give that another try. I played it for a bit back when I had Game Pass, but it never really clicked for me

I put-off picking up and playing Fields of Mistria, and I’m sorry I did. I’ve invested a lot of time in it recently and I love it. I recently picked up and started playing News Tower, and it’s been pretty addictive, too (sorry Fields!)

When I’m away from my PC, the last month it’s been the original Octopath Traveler on my Switch 2 (but I can’t justify full-price for the Sw2 upgrade.)

Part of me hopes so, part of me does not.

On the one hand, I’m finding that the turnover for new posts doesn’t seem to be as great as on Reddit; once I go through my digest here: that’s it. Of course, with an influx of new people come the riffraff.

Definitely toyed with doing the same when I joined

sigh I just wanna upgrade my video card, man

More and more, I’m finding that it isn’t enough to just give one of my alias addresses. I’ll make my account and then immediately end up locked out unless I give them my phone number (looking at you, Discord) or upload my ID/take some live selfies (looking at you, Slowly), or sometimes both (looking at you, LinkedIn).

I miss the days when I could just browse and use the internet anonymously

I cannot stand how they operate over there. I currently have six different Workday accounts, for six different companies. With each, I’ve had to upload my resume and re-create my profile, filling in my experience, education, etc… because their parser blows.
