      Even then you’d have to wait for production to come back, back then memory manufacturers reduced production to drive prices up, now with the war destroying key infrastructure you can’t even get parts if you are willing to pay

      I’m on a 1080Ti and while still working fine, I start to feel the lack of performance in some games. Wardogs being the most recent example. Even if that is an issue with the devs (not optimized etc.) it still affects me. So the game looks like shit, worse than games 10, even 20 years ago. Crazy.

      I bought an Intel Arc Pro B70 32GB for $1000 when it first came out. Sadly that’s a bargain these days for that much vram. They’re already up to $2000 now. It’s crazy how prices of things are still going up and you have to buy early to avoid the increase now. It’s the opposite of the early adopter tax people used to pay.

      Of course they’re shit, they’re online competitive games.
      Shit is kind of their thing. It’s why all the tweene shit heads like them.

      You should try some different games made for grownups.

        today is shit compared to 90’s split screen at your friends house, or hot seat single player games as a group, in the same room. or walking to the arcade to check out top scores and compete with others IN PERSON

        sitting in a room by yourself clicking dopamine triggering feedback loops all day on a discord server with fellow addicts is a fucking LONERfest disguised as entertainment. these modern games are deisgned to extract as much profit as possible from the user and the user doesn’t even OWN the fucking game. how can you defend that? fucking shill?

        were living through a time. in person group video gaming will come back one day. we almost had it with pokemon go in 2016 but Niantic shat the bed
