PC gaming is too damn expensive and prices aren't going to get better.
>>
At least this console generation will last for years longer so games shouldn't get much harder to run.

Thank you nvidia for gatekeeping pc gaming from turdworlder scum

>>749014474
1000 a month won't even cover the rent

Prices are going to be better in the 2030s once China ramps up production and datacenter spending becomes more rational, but like 3-5 years of your entire life is a long time to wait

>B-but CXMT and YMTC are charging the same prices they're just joining the price-fixing cartel

China can't flood the market with DRAM and NAND yet for low prices, so they're just selling it for capitalist price gouging prices for now

Save your money and buy a house first then build some passive income
Stop wasting all your youth on video games
>>
>>749014095
Its not worth it, never has been worth it if we're being honest with ourselves. Is paying $3,000 a sensible and rational choice just to play the same game as a $300 console just with extra pixels on the screen? And what exclusives are there on PC that isn't pixelart indie platformer trash from some millennial? GTA VI doesn't even have a PC release date.

>>749014559
How does one simply acquire 'passive income', as if that's attainable for today's zoomers?

People really need to start thinking of their income like a business and subtract their mandatory expenses

$2900/m ($18/h 40 hours/w)

- $250 taxes and mandatory deductions
- $400 health insurance
- $1200 housing
- $400 food
- $500 utilities + internet
- $500 auto expenses

You make -$350 a month

You literally make negative money. The Chinese guy making $1200/m but paying $100/m for housing and getting free healthcare effectively makes more than you despite only making $1200.

We can all tell you still live with your parents.

>>749014583
which console is $300?

>Stop wasting all your youth on video games
What board do you think you are posting on right now
>>
>>749014095
At least developers will finally be forced to optimize games since clearly nobody can afford new hardware right?
>>
>>749014514
We know you live with your parents, it's ok. that's our future now because of immigration
>>
>>749014693
>just a bunch of numbers I pulled out of my ass
The only realistic numbers are your food and housing. You just made everything else up.
>>
>>749014956
Lol no
Cloud gaming is the future
>>
>>749014693
>Health insurance
Lmao just eat healthy and stay fit
>$1200 housing
Are living in a mansion?
>$400 food
You only need $200 for food max fattso
>$500 auto expenses
Use public transport
>>
I'm sick of games being 50+gb
>>
>>749015143
We're talking about USA if that wasn't obvious, you can't just "use public transportation" unless you live in literally NYC and nowhere else, you are effectively locked out of society without a car

>>749015003
I was quite conservative, in California right now the cheapest healthcare plans are $600/m, some places have extremely expensive electricity and gas/oil right now.

i once programmed a wage calculator to help me figure out what jobs are worth my time and what ones arent, as long as your not living like a total retard its possible to live off $14/hr 28 hours a week
>t. gen z thats about to move out soon (hopefully)

also tf you mean food costs $400? how much do you even eat for it to be that expensive?
and $500 for utilities + internet? do you live either in the middle of nowhere or directly across from a data center or something? in my area its only around $200 a month.
although yeah i cant deny rent is insanely expensive, its still possible to find stuff for $900/month or less.

i actually have no auto expense since i just walk or ask someone else for a ride usually, and i get health insurance through my job.

even if we assume you have to drive everywhere, and if we also assume your area has no housing under $1.2k, as long as youre doing full time and making at minimum $16/hr youl still end up with around a few hundred dollars extra a month. again, assuming youre not doing anything retarded.

Living with your parents is the better option. You've been jewed into thinking you need to accumulate debt and get your own place instead of staying with your parents and accumulating wealth.
>>
>>749015463
>accumulating wealth
the reality is it made me depressed and really drove the poor mindset into me and I'm no better than a shitskin. Oh well, that's life
>>
itt financially illiterate people

>>749015574
I spent my 500k life savings into a business that was completely demolished by 2020 shutdowns. I think I have a right to be upset
