    Why doesn’t he just admit that he wants us to live (?) as miserable indentured serfs?

      He never said it out loud? I would expect him to.

      All this talk about technofeudalism and permanent underclass was never repeated by him?

            Thiel. its no wonder OPENAI, flock, vance is used to achieve thiels dream of the PALANTIR, and its using his palantir AI system. Israel uses it to bomb specific targets.

          thiel the ventriloquists of sam altman, flock ceo, and JD VANCE. also obsessed with the anti-christs, so these 3 are his apostates.

      He feels entitled to us having to rent our lives from him.

      Presumably as a reward for him being just so amazing.

    I’m thankful I rebuilt my rig during the incredibly brief period during COVID where RAM was cheap as chips and mid tier GPUs were under $500.

    Outside of Fallout and KCD2, I don’t play anything graphically intensive, so hopefully I’m good for another 5-10 years.

    Wishful thinking, I know. But I’ve had periods where I simply didn’t have a gaming box that could run new hotness so I ignored the industry.

    Got a lot of reading done. Maybe this is for the best.

      i also bought two gaming rigs and a small home server in the time between crypto and ai, so i think it was a good time. unfortunately i had a huge storage fallout this year in the server. no data is lost due to redundancy, but i can’t rebuild it because the seller returned me the original price as warranty…

      I did mine end of 2021/beginning of 2022, these days I actually use my LCD steam deck for most everything and even then I’ll often stream from my desktop. Right now I’m on a morrowind kick so playing a nearly 25 year old game, deck handles openmw and mods amazing.

      I have a huge backlog already so don’t feel compelled to buy a lot of new stuff and I’m just not keeping up with what’s hot anymore. I have other hobbies than gaming as well, other reason I’ve really liked having the steam deck is it’s easy to pause and come back later if you want.

      I sold an arm and a leg to do a build this year, accepting the cost because it’s probably the last one I’ll ever be able to do and if I didn’t strike I now it wouldn’t be an option at all soon

      Slightly unrelated, but the most disturbing part of 1984 for me was that the protagonist had to buy a blank notebook as contraband and use a blind spot in his apartment to write in it.
