Glad I already got my Steam Deck, fuck.
but but… Orange men said it was good for the economy, now I have to pay 2000 Dollars for a 5090? Why aren’t they coming to America and produce here!?
yep! and by then it’s too late. they’ve already shot themselves in the foot, they just haven’t felt the pain yet.

And automotive guys figuring out a good chunk of their replacement parts are European.
This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.
