Anything past 60 is just pissing contest stuff. 99% of games are totally playable at 60fps. 120+fps is great and everything, but if it's going to cost you 2k to get there, I mean you run your own journey but I'd be fine almost all the time at 60fps.

Honestly my 5800x3d/128gb/4070ti ddr4 setup still just absolutely rips. Undervolted some of the cores way back when and it runs cool and just hammers whatever I throw at it. I used to traditionally do 4 year refreshes, but this builds doing time. I'm not even going to look at it until 2029/2030 now. And at these prices, if they are still like this, I'm all for PC gaming and everything but I'll be in my late 40s then. I just don't game as much anymore and the console/PC gap is so big right now for price/performance differences that I might just not even.

He doesn't care, and yes he will.

It's our job to stand firm and tell him to suck a fart.

Leopards ate my faccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Also no one knows where your COVID cave is, Kenney.

Nice try fbi

I have 64gb, and everyone was like why, you don't need that much, it's a waste etc.

Three years down the road, I don't regret it, let's put it that way. Yeah it's not really necessary, but I knew this would happen (not the ram price stuff - the sloppy coding and the gaming world's ever expanding requirements).

What in the Sweet Jesus mother of fuck is this? An AI post?

What does that thing weigh is my very first question.

Also these ev guys and their ranges are never believable. I've owned multiple evs now, and none of them have gotten near advertised range. I always cut 25% as a rule from marketing bloat.

Even still 400km range would be huge. But if the thing weighs 800 lbs, maybe not so huge.

Edit: Devil's in the details. According to their website the specified 600km is a "city range," probably going 15km/hr. Highway range is 315km, with a 170lb rider going 90km/hr in perfect conditions (which never applies to a motorcycle). Realistically thats going to be under 200km. For $40k USD, and the bike weighs 520lbs btw (which isn't the end of the world).

I don't have range anxiety as much as I would have wallet anxiety here. I'll just stick with my gas bike, thank you very much. 1000nm torque would be hilarious, but that would be over $50k for me in Canada, and that's not so hilarious.

Add another flop to the table.

It's just fantasy in regards to the replacing everything. The same thing happened back in the 60s and the 70s with the fantasy that computers were going to make everything in life easy peasy. Flying cars and all of that. No doubt computers have made our lives easier, and have progressed us as a society (debatable when it comes to social media). But it isnt the end all, be all that it was promised to be. I still don't have a hoverboard or a personal flying car, which I DO have to admit I'm super bummed about.

Just look at the paperless society era. We still print stuff out, 40-50 years later. Maybe a lot less, but it didn't put us all out of jobs, it just made us work smarter and maybe made things a little easier to reference.

That's all this AI stuff is, its just the next evolution of reference. If anyone thinks it's ready to put me out of a job, whelp I double dog dare them. One company I'm associated with is at this stage, drunk on the AI. It's all just super disconnected execs fantasizing in between drunken lunches and boat purchases. Their day is coming, don't worry.

Ah yes the cons and all their privatizing. Trickle down economics blah blah blah, etc.

I mean you are dealing with the absurd, so what's a win anyways? All for him to decide tomorrow it's a loss?

Country is ruled by an authoritarian warlord, you can't expect decency or rationality. If it was everyone's beloved PP in Carneys place, he'd still be getting his ass handed to him. Don't kid yourself.

And he might roll out of bed one morning at 3am and decide it's all over again. Hit the truth social with his one eye open, and that's that.
