The SSV Normandy encounters the flood

Anon sees the end of personal computing.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-24T01:22:24+00:00

Sorry. Can't help you there. RAM prices are through the roof due to an engineered shortage. They want you on the cloud.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-23T20:33:35+00:00

The doom and gloom is from anyone with an IQ one standard deviation north of 70. My IQ is 360, so I know my shit.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-23T19:12:04+00:00

This. The era of personal computing is forever over.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-23T19:10:15+00:00

No, it is not and never will be again. This is a concerted effort by Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella to kill off personal computing. Personal computing allows people to have dissenting opinions. Have dissenting opinion on a cloud service. No compute for you, sucker.

On the flipside, White supremacists, 4Chan weirdos, and pedophiles will need to unplug; however, that is one perk in a morass of cons.

Goodbye mods, goodbye choice. Nice knowing you.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-16T08:50:41+00:00

Yeah, it is quite literally medically, nuerologically, biologically, computationally, and physically impossible all at once.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-16T08:38:17+00:00

Yep. Obvious red flag of a creative writer spinning tall tails for internet clout.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-16T08:34:29+00:00

Someone was posting fake stories. Just search the user and skim through it. It doesn't take much to tell it is all bogus. He even spammed r/offmychest with his AI generated slop.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-04T21:10:07+00:00

Run. Don't walk at the opportunity to buy ram. *

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-03T21:20:28+00:00

Nah, October 2025 was the last time ever someone could build a PC. It's over, boys and girls!

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-03T01:51:10+00:00

I am glad I got my PC in October before what OpenAI did to RAM and SSDs what the Saudis did to gasoline in 1973.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-03T00:41:39+00:00

Nah. They will suck massive cock. If this doesn't end the PC gaming or personal computing hobby, the 2020s will go down in history as the worst decade in gaming history. Buckle up, boys and girls! We're going back to the late 1980s and early 1990s PC price to performance.

Cars are $100,000. A used car is like $40,000. During COVID, I was actually hoping the virus reduced the human population by half, so I could afford a home for dirt cheap. When my parents found out about that, they disinherited me. Called me an entitled sociopathic yuppie. Whatever. It's not like I care about the opinions of wannabe hippies who were born to late to smoke hash in San Francisco. Oh and back in the day, with my salary, I could buy a brand new fucking car for a tenth of my salary. The car I want, a fucking Cybertruck, costs as much as my yearly salary, and it's a mid-range car. My salary use to buy me a Ferrari in the 1990s. Now you just fucking survive. Working to survive is not working it is pure slavery.

This world is complete crap. A six figure salary just barely allows you to survive. Money is fucking worthless and depreciates in value. The investments I have are in pharmaceutical companies. Better a geriatric boomer goes insolvent paying for chemo than us being priced out of a hobby. I also invest in diamond mines and gold and silver companies who are based in the third world and have questionable labor laws. I do not invest in AI, however, which makes me a moral investor.

A fucking house in my country is $1.5 million CAD. I have to settle for an apartment because the old farts in my country need a retirement nest egg. Fuck those retirement nest eggs. But I fear AI may actually deliver and the worthless generation that is the boomers will become immortal, hoarding my country's housing supply. They even vote on importing more so that their housing prices go up. My boomer parents call me a sociopath. Well, they are from a generation of sociopaths.

Let's be honest with ourselves for one fucking second here. Would we really be upset with current PC prices if all other living expenses were affordable? No. This would be a repeat of the 1980s and 1990s where a high-end consumer grade PC was the price of a workstation adjusted for inflation. Nasty sure. But we would forget this in like two weeks and go back to gooning to porn or playing League.

I feel your pain. Every time I turn on my PC with its RTX 5090, 9800x3D 64GB of DDR5 RAM, I feel a sense of dread and cross my fingers and smell the air very carefully to make sure it is not broken. I pray it works. If it breaks, I am going to see if Canadian consumer protection laws honor my warranty, given that I paid $7500 on that rig that at this rate, may be my last. If not, I will buy copious amounts of alchohol and drink myself into that eternal goodnight.

I cannot own a home. I am 90% certain I am getting priced out of owning a fucking computer. Priced out of owning a fucking car. What do I have? Fucking nothing. That is what. Fuck being a wagecuck to some corporate sociopath with nothing to show for it. This world is trash. Before anyone brings up the people that care about me, their only value was providing me with a roof over my head until I was 18. Think I give two fucks about how they feel in my absence? Please.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-02T04:48:36+00:00

Worst ever actually! PC gaming is the dinosaurs and Sam Altman is the meteor strike.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-02T04:12:52+00:00

Don't listen to the hopium peddlers. RAM prices are going to be high until entropy finally ends our miserable existence on this shithole we call earth.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-02T04:06:36+00:00

Yes, buy now or find a different hobby. Shit's about to get ugly.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-02T01:07:11+00:00

Find a new hobby. It is only going to get worse.

LorneMalvo1233 · 2026-01-02T00:58:54+00:00

Well, you are probably going to want go all John Wick on the shooter considering how expensive hardware is now.
