Will it ever be affordable to build a mid-range gaming PC again? This dystopian "you will own nothing and be happy" is starting to feel real bros, and i don't like it.
>>109670108it'll only get worse unless we actually do something about it, mass luigiing would help, but I'm thinking more along the lines of social movements
no. just accept that you're going to have to buy a premade mini PC and like it.
>>109670108You'll have to splurge on chinkshit and just play retro games. You arent missing out on good modern games
>>109670108When there's a gold rush, don't go looking for gold - sell shovels> https://isaiprofitable.com/
>>109670128>You arent missing out on good modern gamesThis is cope though, man... There are new indie games that i want to run on decent settings, that i feel like i never will be able to due to trillion dollar AI companies slurping up the entire supply of computer hardware. Im stuck on a shitty gaming laptop with a 3050ti ..
>>109670187>Once we reach AGI we gone be freeee! Oh god is this one big fucking scam??
>>109670196>couldn't name a single one
>>109670125>social movements
>>109670108It's time to start buying guns instead, my guy.
>>109671187You burgers aren't going to do shit.They raped children on an island and you already did nothing.As if "they came for my gaming PCs" would change anything.
>>109670108it doesn't matter, your focus should be how to improve your finances, it's the only thing you can actually (somewhat) control
>>109671205>they came for my gaming PCsIdunno Anon seems like today's yanks would chimp out over that more than they would about child rape the country was built on not wanting their shit taken from them not on moral superiority
>>109670108>gamingHahah, I hope not
>>109671205Guns are toys anon. They're like funko pop but not gay.
>>109670108>mid-range gaming PCBoo hoo just buy a 2 year old gayming laptop. Desktops are for faggots anyway.Literally zero difference between 1080p and 4k other than zoomer faggots who don't understand the meaning of good enough coping because games are shitty .
>>109671205>They raped children on an islandThey paid slutty teen girls who were putting out for nigger dick to fuck old guys.
>>109671278and they also raped and murdered prebucent children
>>109671278It's still rape, until they become 18/21 then it's magically ok, don't be a pedo they can't consent that's an ability you only unlock at 18/21 nasty map
>>109671285>>109671295Proof?
>>109671300Tiktok told me
>>109670108hardware prices going up sucks but how can you be an adult and not be able to cough up a 1000$ for your hobby?
>>109671391this desu but also I think it's more about knowing that you're overpaying and that you're getting swindled and raped for absolutely no reason that it's wholely artificial and there is no real scarcity in this or lack of production capacity
>>109670108it's ok most people are the same. gaming as we knew it will simply die out as a mainstream hobby because a 5% of richfags who can comfortably afford a $3000 RTX 6060Ti with 16GB or PS6 Pro to play raytraced AAAA slopfest aren't enough to support the gaming market that's hemorrhaging money and game devs.phone gacha gaming and non-demanding indieshit will probably live on
>>109670187nVidia will become the new Cisco.
I wonder what game companies are going to do when nobody can afford hardware anymore
>>109671493Propaganda mills will dieA few normal game devs with eyes on a mountain of gold will arrive to a barren mountain. May dig deeper into said mountain and open up a shop selling metaphorical shovels (like the people who made Peak)Console companies will face another game crash, the Japanese ones will survive with innovation, but it won't be pretty.Indie devs will all swarm the same plate of players, good luck with that.It's gonna be a bad time to be a for profit game company
>>109671205biggest trvth nuke on /g/
>>109670196>There are new indie games that i want to run on decent settings, Genuinely want to hear what you're looking forward too. I'm not even gonna troll you and say >All shitIf you post some.
>>109670108It’s affordable right now. Stop larping it’s pathetic.If you have a job you own a car. If you can afford a car you can easily afford a computer.A mid range PC costs less than a single year of automobile maintenance.
>>109671448>5% of richfags who can comfortably afford a $3000 RTX 6060TMost people can afford a $3000 expenditure anonEven if you make minimum wage that’s just saving the wages from 3 shifts per month to afford one after a yearI think all the people bitching about pricing must be either children or they’re terrible with money and never save If you want to have nice things you need to work hard and save up your money

>>109670108>Will it ever be affordable to build a mid-range gaming PC again?About a year after the AI bubble pops. Just make your stuff last until then.
>>109670108I don't really get why people say its unaffordable. Prices have gone up like 2x in the past 10 years for everything. Building a midrange PC then was like 600, and 1200 now. If your income lags behind, that is a you problem. But PC gaming isn't unaffordable relative to everything else.
>>109672053He doesn't know
>>109672125All PC sales are down across the board clearly people find it unaffordable
>>109671248They are worse than funko pops because they are the ultimate choice of a poser. It's like a masculine blue-collar trying his best to look as manly as possible, just to end up taking it in the ass in a backalley for coke zero. Pretending to be what you are not, putting on a show for others, that's guns
>>109672158to be honest a lot of dumbfucks are better off being gatekept away from PCs and kept in their containment environments of apple, MS and google ecosystems
>>109672158Thats because peoples incomes are lagging behind and they can't afford luxuries in the first place. All their income goes to necessities, since they have gone up too. It still doesn't make it less affordable relative to everything else. It just means people are on average (median, actually) poorer than they were a decade ago.
>>109672202So nobody actually likes or shoots guns its all posers? Its okay I don't like grapes either
>>109671205TRUTH NUKE
>>109672259It is less affordable relative to just a few years ago
>>109671295Women should be forced to take puberty blocking drugs until they are 18/21. It's for their safety. Don't you care about their safety, Anon?
>>109670606>social paralysisit will work big time>oh look, they're doing nothing at all better panic and cancell our evil plansebin
>>109670108>Will it ever be affordable to build a mid-range gaming PC again?there are no games. they just expect you to press the ai button now.
>>109671205yeah uh huh that's why amerifats kill like 100 police per year
>>109672474Niggers killing police over chicken wings is not political action, it's just niggers nogging about
>>109672352vote with your money, only thing that works
>>109670196They're probably not actually good if the devs are so shit at optimizing them
