    Don’t pay for this shit. It’s another case of “you’ll own nothing and stop fucking complaining, peasant.”

      This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

        Yeah, I’ll own that.

        The reason people can’t afford a system is because NVidia is screwing with the market in the name of AI. Before that they were doing the same in the name of crypto. They’re one of the big companies manipulating politics in their favour, against the better interest of the general populace. They’re standing alongside the companies that are pushing for mass-surveillance, they’re pushing for people to lose their jobs, and for all the other nefarious ways AI is being applied.

        But at least we can ignore our culpability and blame a computer when it decides to bomb a bus of brown school kids on the other side of the planet now, I guess.

          Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.

          Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥

            Where are all the renegade hackers sticking it to the man?

            Actually, now that I think about, big companies and governments are getting hacked all the time. Which is cool.
