As I (and many others) predicted, 2026 will be the start of the era of consumer hardware dystopia.

Aye, the path has been paved already for the ultimate jump into the cloud-y hole of nothingness, though it's not unlikely that life will still find a way(tm) despite everything. Or at least that's what I hope, as I've never paid for any gaming service and definitely plan to keep it that way in the futhurr envisioned by the giant greedy green pears.

I liked the bit about those having a lot of DDR4/DDR5 before all this shit are basically sitting on a huge investment that can be sold for several times the price paid at the time. Laughing

I am still running a 2017 AM4 mobo with a 5800X3D and 32Gig RAM. I don't feel the need to upgrade at all and it seems like I will keep this system for another 3 years at least. By far the longest I had a mobo ever.

And the 9070XT is perfectly fine/slightly overkill for the games I play at 3440x1440@100Hz. Also thanks to FSR4.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
