      You’ve clearly never seen me ignore all my biological needs to play games for 14 straight hours.

      Yeah, indicators are indicating. Things they don’t seem to talk about. Used car lots are empty while new car lots are full. The tourist restaurants no longer have waiting lists. Gaming is a luxury expense, as in we don’t need it to survive, while new game prices are higher than they’ve ever been. I’m willing to bet most if not all luxury spending is down.

      Prices are high and companies decided shitty AI is better than good people. So jobs are getting scarcer or paying less.

      In the words of my kids: we’re cooked fam.
