Two years ago I made a post on Reddit’s pcmasterrace (under same username) that somehow made it to /all and trended for a while.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found myself slowly distancing from Reddit with all the drama, weird decisions, and the feeling that any post you make can get nuked on a whim by a power-tripping mod (see: r/art).

So I wanted to anchor this moment with big chungus here on the fediverse as I start a new chapter on Lemmy. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone here and having fun again.

By the way big chungus is alive and well, the same can’t be said for the 4090 though, i’m getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series…

    Wish I could be as optimistic as you about the 60 series. I hope the AI bubble bursts quickly so that prices can normalise because I won’t buy a PC with these prices.

      How funny it would be if by that time the insane price would not be because of the GPU itself, but because of the memory…

        isnt that literally the current issue?

        gpu chip prices coming down but mem chips skyrocketing instead

          No, GPU prices are still high and memory is overtaking them, I’d rather have no pc than buy at these prices.

          I’ll just keep using used notebooks for cheap and not play GPU (or CPU) intensive games until (if ever) the situation improves.
