GAMERS LAIR

[Ausf]

let's see what next year brings.....ww3 most likely.

So far the major powers are content with proxy wars. No one wants a real WW3 when everyone has nukes.

...which is exactly what you did, more than once. I'm not even going to argue the semantics of you doing this every time with you. It wasnt patronizing, it was irritatuon at the fact you never fucking stop, you do it EVERY time, starting from your first request when NOBODY else had even gotten a game Whats your excuse then?

I just add this here again, you clearly missed it

If you or anyone does a giveaway and say "ask", if one doesn't ask it doesn't work....that's just common sense.

 

[WhatNitrous]

Possibly resetting the list once every few days if I think everyone has claimed a game (I'll remove claimed games with your name next to it) and declare another round. So basically only take a game if you want it or you may miss out by your own greed

Sooo.....many.....GAMES

Can i ask for 100?
No.....damn.....ok, i'll ask Cathedral...and if i can ask for a second....Weaving Tides

Also....Lesbians are my JAM...coff Perfect Gold

Now please just shut up.

That didnt stop them 50-100 years ago, but it is finny that we made bombs so powerful everyone is afraid to even fight because of them

Anyone remember R.O.B the NES robot? When I saw it as a kid, I thought it actually played games with you or something. It kinda worked in some games, but the dreams of young me and reality did not quite meet. With AI now it could not just play games for you, but with you, or against you in local games. Current AI has the potential for even adult me to think those SciFi promises might actually happen.

We will all have our own personal Rosey like in the Jetsons or Bender from Futurama, Johnny 5, or Hookerbot 3000/Electric Barbarella! I think AI may someday shine in RPGs. It is going to be interesting if it doesn't crash and I can afford a PC with the prices on memory skyrocketing.

It was only after WWII that we decided not to expand borders by conquest. We almost had a rules based order, but not everyone agreed to it. Then there's various trade concerns. We didn't really need to fight it we could just trade, but again, the most powerful countries didn't want to be ruled over by someone else, and we end up with various sanctions and tariffs.

You an everybody else

That's probably just temporary. GPUs are cheap enough now, although they too will be affected by the memory shortage.

My guess is that at some point we will reach a point where the demand drops, and the excess supply will bring down prices again. Not to mention something new always comes along, meaning DDR5 will be cheaper.

If you're on a budget, then a DDR4 system is always an option. By the time you want to upgrade again, DDR5 will likely be cheaper.

We never had to fight, not once...but greed, power, imaginary pride...it'll be that way till the end of time, or until we get ruled over by a monarch who actually doesnt care for all those things (good luck) and the people are happy ..again, good luck.

I'm already running a DDR4 system, this isnt an option for me when my motherboard goes.

Wouldnt be much of an upgrade

Sure, if everyone agreed not to fight, we wouldn't have to. One important thing you left out is that even if we don't want to fight, they will. So you have to prepare for them. Then, maybe they are planning something (or not) so we have to preemptively fight them.

One thing is certain though, it will always be us and them. There will always be differences. Trying to shove everyone into the same place, and pretending they are us is never going to work. There will always be an us and them.

I'm already running a DDR4 system

I'm still on DDR3. So it kinda would be an upgrade going from i7 4790 to almost anything? 5600 if I was going cheap, or 5800X3D if I was trying to max out DDR4.

I just need to get a graphics card now, hoping they don't skyrocket before I can get it next year. I have my sights set on a 5070 Ti. I really want the rumored 5070 Ti Super with 24GB of VRAM but I don't want to risk waiting and fighting other people for them.

Edit: I was going to wait until Zen 7 (2x16 Cores) and possibly AM6, but I'm afraid we are in the beginning of a AI supercycle instead of a big dotcom like bubble.

Oof! I'm only running an i-7700k myself, which in comparison isnt that much more powerful honestly--except for the DDR4 and such...at least you have a good processor even if its a bit old. They don't make'em really hitting 4.0ghz anymore like mine and yours which really hurts the modern replacements IMO. You know, aside from the fact half of them roast themselves or light other components on fire

I have a 3090 24GB (had???) and it holds up good with modern games, if not great once you start going 4k ultramax, in the long term of things that memory difference is going to be more vital than the new tech.

Have no doubt about the AI stupercycle, its already happening

That is a good card! It'll hold up I think because NVIDIA is using fake frames to fake major FPS improvements but with terrible input lag. I'm coming from a GTX 1070 so it will be a major upgrade for me.

It was an iconic card before I moved here, one of the last EVGA models to ever be made, and RIGHT before they capped half of them to prevent mining...unfortunately this building ruined my 10yr warranty I put on it that EVGA would have still covered.

Now its a pile of muddy dust all stuck to it I have to hope survives took the joy out of building up my rig when that happened.
