    Supply will catch up with demand. High PC component prices are a temporary thing.

    Lol, I feel bad for anyone new to the pc building community. At least those of us with 10+ year old computers at this point can play most of the indie games coming out. I AM still surprised by how intensive some games can be when they look like minecraft downgrades.

      Kind of funny story, I launched Stardew valley yesterday and my displays absolutely shit themselves even though my graphics card is pretty new. Turned out that nvidias stupid app had changed the display settings to something weird. I had to manually flip it back to borderless and that fixed it but at first I was like “how out of everything I’ve played is this the one having problems?”

        My wife started Stardew valley the other day and we also had display issues trying to output 4K. Still had to max out the zoom and even then the dialog boxes are cut off until you zoom out. Unlucky

          Probably not the issue, but if you’re outputting 4k, is it to a tv? I had an issue with a big screen having its own weird zoom settings (the old widescreen/cinema/whatever).

            We’re outputting to a projector, but the UI is what’s actually cutting it off unfortunately. I’m sure there is fix out there somewhere with a game this popular, I just need to do some digging 😁

    I guess we won’t do something about that, especially when we have the power in our hands.

      Maria dear i think this may be your one character flaw. Ai is a huge force for evil. It’s a tool. And sure tools can be useful but they way it’s being wielded is to the detriment of humanity. It’s not a cute novelty anymore. It’s not being used appropriately at any scale. I know you are fond of some of the silly and fun use cases. And it probably still has limited ethical uses. But as it stands the power of comput is being used for propaganda repression of people and genocide. To dumb and pacify the population and with the way hardware is going the corporate fascist may kill personal computing. It’s not worth discussing the good it might be able to do when it’s actively harmful to humanity and only helpful to the controlling and ruling class. It’s really sweet and endearing you are so optimistic but sadly it’s an evil world and the point of this technology is to serve the interests of bad people and any good it can do will be for their profit and control not for the lives well being snd freedom of all of us.

    You see, the big mistake in 2029 was the person installing Windows. Now they can see the horrible data center right outside of their house. As they say, out of sight, out of mind.

    Jesus, I had to do a double take because I thought the stick person had somehow trapped a little human inside a pod for their entertainment and I was so confused.

    You can pry my “double” slot GPU out of my cold dead hands (good luck trying to run away with it, it’s heavy as fuck and needs a supporting post)
