Same here. I have a 3600X with 32GB RAM and a 3070ti. I see no sense in upgrading for a performance boost that I have no need for. I mostly play indie games and AA Titles. And even graphically heavier hitters like Space Marine 2, Wukong and The First Descendant run fine on 3440x1440.

Before Playstation 6 and Xbox Series X MK. 2 Y Type Z (or whatever MS will name that) i don’t think there will be a significant need to upgrade.

Most of the flag ship titles of this generation run perfectly playable on most mid tier gaming PCs and laptops. And the PC handheld market is also cutting into the traditional PC gamer market as well. Things like the steam deck, legion go or ally x all have taken away a share of people that would have usually bought an upgrade by now.

To be honest… I would pay for a beer or two just to watch that.

I bought a cheap 55" 4k. The “smartest” functions are menus for color correction, sound and choice of input source. It runs perfectly fine on my desktop as an additional 4k monitor with 60hz. And it doesn’t try to phone home.

Yes. And our back tells us sometimes.

I’m not sure if I like the idea of clever fascists. ;-) I just hope for you guys that Meloni gets nothing done as far as her fascist goals go.

Surprise… NOT! These fucktards take money from everyone to reach their ugly goals. And Putin and his intelligence services are known for this. I just hope this has some consequences. But I fear it will not.

As a german, I wish someone made some more of these. Because people seem to have forgotten about the horrors of WW2.

Societal progress is like the figurative drop of water eroding the stone over time. It will happen. It just takes time. I’m protesting right wingers and bigots since the 90s. And many of the ideas and politics that are nowadays common weren’t back then. Give it time.

Ever heard about babysteps? Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better.

Dear whereever you are from,

We know. Some of us live next to the Netherlands, so we already had a steady access.

Sincerely,

Your Germans

I’m in the same boat. I feel like everything is just regurgitated over and over again. Every twist, every turn. And I’m tired of watching something and be able to predict, what the plot will be. It’s the same with music. Many songs are written to perform by metrics, like length and listener retention in the first 30 seconds, so that you reach the magical monetization line on the streaming platform of your labels choice.

The german word is “Wichser”.

Only as an insult.

Don’t forget to work your sixty hours to save up for some property that you will never have a chance to buy.

In america? No way. I heard they actively dislike guns. /s

They were. Nowadays it feels more like CDU-light. Seems to be more profitable. Heck, even our chancelor is involved in a financial scandal.

You forgot to add that we were once leader in solar tech, but that industry got destroyed willingly by the then ruling CDU and Peter Altmeyer.

And you wouldn’t be far of since scrubs is one the medically most correct Shows out there.
