OK, so, PC prices are going to be insane next year (they have already started getting insane). Tech Jesus from Gamer Nexus is saying it's all a ploy to make home computing unaffordable to people and push everyone to use live services in all those fancy datacenters they are building.
And, honestly, I think he's right.
I'm on AM4 now, with a Ryzen 7 5700x. I had decided a while ago that I wouldn't be migrating to AM5 so soon, so a few months back I bought all the RAM I'd be able to fit in this thing before DDR4 stopped being produced and the prices went to shit. And it seems it was the right decision, because RAM prices increased over 200% in a month.
Now I was thinking about upgrading the processor, even though it is not needed right now, just so it can hold until the AI bubble explodes. But there is no 5800x3D available anywhere, and the 5950x is pretty expensive, at R$ 3.600,00 (which would be about U$700,00, our currency is worthless and our taxes suck ass).
For comparison, upgrading my mainboard and processor to AM5 with a 9800x3D would run me just about U$ 100 more. But then it would cost me about U$ 400 just to get about 64GB RAM ($800 for a 128GB kit to have the same RAM I have now). And I really doubt I'll be able to sell my current kit for the difference.
So, I guess I'll just say "fuck it" and stay as I am. I'm confident the 5700x is enough to hold until everything collapses. Maybe I can find a 5950x for $300-$400 in the future. The good part of rambling like a mad man in a fedi post is that I can take this time to think more clearly.
Except I just found out there is a processor called Ryzen 9 5900xt which is basically the same thing as the 5950x but it costs just $400 so I'll take one of those, then I can just sell the old 5700x and the 32GB DDR4 kit I had before to make up for it.
TL-DR: everything is going to shit, personal-computing wise, and I'm upgrading what I can while I can, to then hold onto it forever.
I'll probably also be buying disks to pirate everything I can, it seems SSD prices are also going to increase next year.
still a doubter, considering that pertty much every cloud computing platform targeted at consumers has failed spectacularly (see: google stadia et. al.)
with how lukewarm the market reaction was to AI and how much money is being pumped into it, Im wondering if we will finally have a great collapse of the current figureheads

Dark Souls isn't a particularly or uniquely difficult video game, to the extent that it is relevant to discussions of difficult video game it's as an example of how difficulty is mostly an aesthetic experience rather than an objective fact.
It's not that hard to make a difficult game, just make a level that requires 5000 frame perfect inputs in a row and if you fail you have to start over. Is that unfair? Yes, but if something is fair it is by definition not as difficult as it could be and that's what I'm getting at.
Games are defined by how not difficult they are, some games offer more resistance than others, but by and large most of your design time is gonna be spent making sure it's not difficult, often to the point that you cheat in the players favor.

US may partially"withdraw from NATO by 2027. The US demands that Europe take over most of NATO's conventional defense functions by 2027, from intelligence to missiles.
Oh, color me surprised... NOT.
This is something I have been predicting for a year, as soon as Trump was reelected.
From the summary:
- US could withdraw from some NATO planning mechanisms if unsatisfied with progress
- Unclear how US would measure progress
- Trump rhetoric towards alliance runs hot and cold
