As someone from developing country, i'd rather be called that than Global South, because it imply that the southern countries are all underdeveloped while northern country are developed. Which kinda mean Austrailia, New Zealand, and Singapore are all underdeveloped country. Inaccurate as heck, but not as bad as saying first and third world.

    This is another good reason to GTFO when the enshitification starts. Not only because the experience itself will continue to be a testing ground for how much more you'll pay and how much worse you'll put up with, but the endgame, is almost always them trying to get bought out for the highest price ... either directly through a buyout or indirectly through an IPO. Hat's off to everyone reading this here tonight on Lemmy instead of reddit.

    Huh. I game on my pc this year like any other and why is anyone giving up?

    It would kind of suck to start out here, things are expensive, but there are so many games to play even on middle of the road equipment, is it that big of a deal?

    I mean yeah all those things are shit and we should be complaining about them, but its not effecting my gaming one bit.

    I have a fair bit of ram but its spread out. My poor main rig only has 32 ddr4, and I picked up 32 for my primary proxmox host when it was $80, I wish I would have just upgraded them all. Lol. So many salvaged 8g dimms so few ram slots.

    As for my card: At the time I was reluctant to spend the $750 (EVGA was clearance selling them, just before they exited the GPU market), but after seeing them hit $2500 at the peak I couldn't resist. Apparently it was a good call based on the market since then, it's been a great card, and will probably be running my home lab when the next upgrade cycle comes. (The home server is currently 3 mini PCs in a trench coat, so a real GPU will help)

    Whose fucking definition?

    It's really hilarious how they create arbitrary "definitions" for themselves and pick and choose when and how to use them.

    Have to put down people of developing countries? yea, you're from third world country. It's suddenly about standard of life, civic sense, and freedom.

    Falls to fascism like it's just another weekend and lets police run like brown shirts, does very little when they build concentration camps and climate choking machines, now the condition for "first world" switches to "we're still 'first world' because we defined it"

    Fuck right off with your made up definitions. You can self assign yourself whatever the fuck you want, doesn't mean rest of the world has to adhere by your "definition".

    Not a gamer but into FEA and OpenSource computing. I hope AI totally crashes and burns. Then we win because the servers and processors will go up on a fire sale. And if that doesn't happen, the Chinese will flood the market anyway.

    My 2080ti is still ripping through games no problem. I don't need 8k raytracing or AI-slop-antialiasing. I usually just flick textures to high or medium if needed and focus on actually playing the game. A few extra sparkles is not going to meaningfully change my experience.
