It’s a bad time to be a PC gamer…

Literally everyone, including both big and small businesses, are all saying everything will be more expensive.

I just buy a brand new PC every 6-7 years and get it on good deals because I'm buying the entire thing

This year I'm due to upgrade and looking at what's on offer, nothing has changed

it's only cucks that absolutely need to upgrade their GPU every 2-3 years for some reason that get shafted on prices

It's a good day to not be a waitfag
I'm enjoying my 4080, get fucked bitches

everything will be more expensive.

so what? what are you? poor? lol

mfw got a 9950x3d, 64gbs of ram, and mobo right before tariffs kicked in

I'm good for 7-10 years.

I'll only buy indie and old games then. Easy.

being this silly
all his sponsors are chink garbage dispensers

I have a RX 7900 XTX and I play every game in 1080p. Pretty good.

So... if pc parts are expensive then devs have to finally do a good job and optimize their garbage or else people won't even be able to play? How is that bad? We haven't seen anything that really needs to use more than a 20xx. It's just all jeetcoding.

I’ve been putting off getting a gaming PC for years because it always seems like a bad time to buy every time. I don’t know what I should do because everything seems so expensive but if I wait it might just get worse for who knows how long.

Fewer poorfags in my games

I fail to see the issue.

The only time when PC gaming was truly cheap was just before the scamdemic.
Really the 1080 was so good and cheap price to performance wise that's still unbeaten to this day.

4070ti

120hz 2K monitor

Life is good

Also sucks that NVIDIA are too coked up on fake frames and AI upscalers at this point, so actual improvements to native resolution performance between gpu generations are on a major decline now, too.

You just had bad luck.

Crypto craze

Chip shortage

AI craze

Now tariffs

The AI shit won't go away and nvidia has no reason to provide cheaper shovels.

Broad, blanket tariffs with no ramping or predictable schedule is not effective trade policy.

It's effective because it's funny.

The perfect time was during the crypto crash.

Not even trumptards think it's a good idea . They just want to see the world burn

Its effective because I hate Americans.
I'm sorry but I just don't like brown people lol

Meh

My GTX 970 has served me for 11 years

That's a pretty good lifespan and you should have more than enough saved to upgrade to a PC to last another 10

HYTE would need to almost double the price of their cases due to tariffs to remain profitable

only to continue getting $5 of profit per case

I wasn't planning to watch a three hour video, but I'm already 50 minutes into it and it's such an eye opener.

Maybe Democrats shouldn't have tried to teach my son how to use a buttplug. Then maybe I wouldn't have voted Trump.

should I get 7800x3d or wait for 9800x3d to be in stock

It's time to come home to consoles.

The way the tariffs are being rolled out on this specific sector of the gaming market is indeed a disaster. But we're not even at the peak of the mass price outs yet, that's coming later. Kind of like what happened with inflation 8 months later post covid lockdowns and that's when going to get far worse when it comes to affordability of hardware, which is why I'm buying everything i need right now opposed to later. I'm actually in favor of relocating world hardware manufacturing from China but it's not going to work out this way. It would actually need to be a bipartisan effort in politics to work with the big companies to bring it all back.

that's just one case they are deliberately stretching margins thin on to gain more market share, most examples are not that dire and they almost certainly wouldn't show something they have good margins on
but the completely schizophrenic way the tariffs are constantly changing is very bad for business, I'm not surprised companies are redirecting shipments away from the US entirely right now

Election tourists who ruined Anon Babble and Anon Babble get what they fucking deserve.

The rest of the world should’ve played by the rules

Americans aren’t exactly bright

yeah everything’s too expensive so I’ll vote for the one policy that will objectively make everything more expensive

and play uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Won't this affect devs too?

Nah, we have things like DLSS for "improving" performance now.

I was going to build a 4080 machine in December but I'm so OCD and mentally ill I couldn't settle on the parts I wanted and couldn't commit and now everything is shooting up in price or completely unavailable and I still have never owned a powerful computer in my entire life and I'm nearly 30 years old still living with my parents doing everything internet related on a fucking phone

Now you're just making shit up.

why the fuck would it? holy shit this place got worse after the hack

Reminder that GamersNexus got exposed and btfo by Linus Tech Tips

Yeah its ogre
Even chinkhelds got TARRIF'D and of course amerigolems salivate at the thought of scaling people like their Jewish masters

You were not going to buy a 5090 or a 5080 ot god forbids a 5060 were you anyway? right anon? you're not that stupid.

I was waiting for this reply

x.com/MoshiMoshiMoan/status/1913617425355985290

If they’re a new startup or something or if a dev team is looking to expand it will 100% affect them

I wanted to buy a 5080 at a thousand dollars
is that even possible?

Just join the army.

well its a good thing that

USA isnt the whole entire world

and

Taiwan isnt China

imagine wasting your time on youtube slop just imagine

the argument any and every PC gamer would have made over the past 10 years:

"Build your own PC, you get a few of the pieces at a time, you can start with a CPU with integrated graphics, replace parts with better parts over time, eventually you'll have a machine that can do anything like an adult, instead of a proprietary toy made because tyrone and 10 year olds can't use computers

the argument retarded browns on Anon Babble say people make about PC gaming

"BUY THIS OVERPRICED PRE-BUILT PC FROM AN INTEGRATOR THAT'S MARKED UP 250% to $5,000 OR YOU CAN'T PLAY ANY GAMES EVER!! LOOK AT THIS SCREENSHOT OF A $5,000 PREBUILT, ISN'T IT SILLY AND AREN'T YOU MAD???

And the thread keeps getting made everyday without exception, it's face-melting cringe.

if everything is more expensive then nothing is more expensive

Well if the interwebz said it, it MUST be true!

That's why you were supposed to update in the last 4 months.

I wanna build a PC but motherboards are so expensive and confusing I want to throw up trying to research them and commit to buying one for HUNDREDS OF FUCKING DOLLARS WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE

didn't watch the video

lol

lmao

y?

hundreds

If you want to build a gaming PC from scratch in 2025 you need to spend $1000+
The era of sub $1000 PCs is over

just ask chatgpt or use logicalincrements

Because if everything is so expensive that people aren't buying shit then companies lose profit and are forced to lower their prices.

umm other countries will pay for the tariffs just like mexico paid for the wall

I don't watch pointless rage bait.

Conservatives can't go five minutes without ruining fucking EVERYTHING for EVERYONE

just ask chatgpt

do retards really do this?

its a bad time to be an amerimutt

Corporations are the reason nVidia and AMD still exist, not because you buy their gaming GPUs. Those are just a side hustle for them.

Fine, continue to live in ignorance then.

It is if you're trying to get rid of internal taxes.

Outsource everything to the third world because it's cheap and they don't give a fuck about global emissions

Suddenly everyone is shocked when Chang raises prices in retaliation

No more cheap temu tat for Deano

just take the cloud gaming pill or you can be humble and be a 1080p chad

Affordable computing was never a thing. That's why consoles are still a thing past the sixth gen.

i will never ever ever ever share my fucking id to watch porn

Muricans unironically believed the other country paid the tariff. Lmao

I just wanted to play videogames...

can't afford upgrading pc the way I used to

can't afford buying new consoles + games the way I used to

can't afford buying new car the way I used to

can't afford health care the way I used to

can't afford going out the way I used to

can't afford groceries and other basic necessities the way I used to

everything just keep getting increasingly more expensive and not even my salary + investments can keep up with all this shit so I can't live the lifestyle I used to live before the pandemic

Even though my salary increased a lot I had to go trough some major cuts, it was either that or have no retirement. Had to go out of my way and out of my usual comfort zone to find new avenues for cash, even invested in some land that paid off quite nicely but it is not something I needed to do before that fucking Chinese flu.
I am much better than most in my country but it still sucks ass how everything is going to shit world wide with no end in sight. Fucking hell I just wanted to play vidya and eat good food.

You will never be a woman

trump only really wants to tariff china to encourage companies to move manufacturing to other companies (like apple moving their iphone manufacturing to india). the rest are to get countries to come to the table and renegotiate their trade deals. the ones who come first and give us the best deals are the ones that companies will be more incentive to move their manufacturing to. if china keeps growing at the current rate they will surpass the us economy within the next 20 years and that's what trump wants to prevent

Take your medicine!

OpenAI, Zucc and Google are getting thousands of GPUs to increase their AI shit. I don't think nvidia will notice gamers not buying stuff.

you’re fucking dumb. the real problem is that migrant labor and H1B visas destroy jobs for Americans on both ends of the scale which is primarily why wages have stagnated since the 80s. tariffs wouldn’t be necessary if politicians had not crippled manufacturing and small business

That objectively benefits the wealthy over everyone else because high income earners pay more in income tax than everyone else. Everyone else also spends a higher portion of their income on actually buying things so this is a regressive tax

The tariffs are just a roundabout way of implementing a sales tax without Congress. So much for sticking up for the working man

You guys have no idea how bad its gonna get in a few years.
Yeah, sure, tariffs might add a few hundred dollars on top of the already expensive components.

But what nobody is talking about what will happen in around 3-10 years.
That's when all of the retards who went through school using AI and vibe coding are gonna be in the game industry.

If you think shit is expensive now. Just wait until games are so poorly optimized, that you will need an xx70 or xx80 GPU to play ps3 quality games.

So what's the path forward for gaming companies now that they know that the PC market is unviable?

People are already predicting yet another price increase on the PS5, not even consoles are safe.

all of these youtubers spend 10% of every video shilling some cheap garbage that stole from some other company so i really don't give a fuck about their opinion on anything. they need to die

Yeah and how will tariffing everyone magically fix that

It will create a few thousand jobs, then cost everyone else hundreds of thousands more in increased costs and prices per job. After maybe 10 years some things might be produced domestically, and will be more expensive. And that’s assuming any business even decides to take the risk to build domestically because Trump keeps flip flopping on the tariffs every week

crypto crash lasted just a few months AI overtook in a heartbeat.

Because if everything is so expensive that people aren't buying shit

Companies still buy a bunch of shit on the cheap regardless.
Here in HU3zil cars are more expensive than ever with a fucking 40%+ tax on top of that and dealers are profiting more than ever because rental companies are buying all the shit at massive discounts for renting purposes, which they them sell the used cars later at a decent markup, mostly because people can't afford new cars anymore.

The primary consumer just changed. For nvidya it used to be crypto niggers and now we have the a.i niggers.

WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE

because they often add bells and whistles you might not even care about, just get a microATX without any fancy shit, you will only use a gpu, 2 ram sticks and a single ssd, you won't need bluetooth, wifi and other garbage that makes them more expensive.

still running my 1660 Super

only thing it struggles on is modern AAA slop

I'll give it by the end of the year and I might grab a 7900XTX on sale or something

it won’t. but treating the symptoms and not the problem is peak retard. the game is already over this is like fighting for 5th place

but i do want all that
And i would really like the error LED because that seems like an incredibly useful feature and i don't understand why you have to pay several hundred fucking dollars for a motherboard that has that

I don't think nvidia will notice gamers not buying stuff.

the only reason they make gaming stuff is to hold their place so AMD or Intel can't do shit kek

Supply chains will shift around to minimize tariff impact. Absolutely no one is backing Trump in trying to isolate China, so I doubt he'll be able to to stop chinkshit coming from another country. PC components are usually shipped via air freight, so the issues with sea trade right now shouldn't be much of an issue

They'll be price increases, but nothing biblical

Whot the fuck even uses pornhub anymore? That place is dogshit now.

Well i don't specifically care about the prebuilt companies. But i would imagine Americans would care about supporting American businesses. Since that's supposedly the whole aim of the big changes in how trade works right now. However everything is just going to go up on the individual components in general. We already now that's a fact since even some PC cases aren't exempt from the ludicrously high tariffs in that scenario. Some of which were made in America to the best of the companies abilities. So no I'm not ever saying buying a prebuilt is the smart option, it's better to learn yourself so you can always swap out parts on your own terms. But the issue extends beyond this.

At most you only need to spend around $150 for an above good MOBO. Just use pcpartspicker and start filtering by price, socket version and form factor.

also you shouldn’t be buying anything from china or mexico anyway. I don’t

AusGOD here
We're getting flooded with cheap components from china and taiwan
top kek

Consoles are PCs, subjected to all the same things.
Everything will get fucking expensive and gaming will move to the master system

what? trump and china just came to an agreement, america won

Y’all apparently didn’t realize motherboards have thousands of parts constructed in various countries through complicated supply chains. Lmao

That objectively benefits the wealthy over everyone else because high income earners pay more in income tax than everyone else.

True, though I'm thinking waggies get more of their gross pay when getting their net pay.

Everyone else also spends a higher portion of their income on actually buying things

So, women most affected? Cool.

Don't know.
Anon Babble is calling each other poorfags/jeets/brown/slav in every thread 24/7. Especially in GPU threads or shit performance threads. Since average salary for 1st world poster here is $10000+ I don't see any issue with $5000+ rigs and $120+ games. It's fucking nothing.

Those "american" companies are still getting the basic resources to manufacture their products from other countries and pass off the increased cost to the consumer

but we haven't even seen the consequences of tariffs yet, right? won't that take like a year or so?

But i would imagine Americans would care about supporting American businesses

dumb question but why don't you guys make it so outsourcing is more expensive than hiring pureblood burgers? some countries do that to avoid moving money out of the country or sum

tariffs are gone. china called trump's bluff, he caved, and they kept their retaliatory tariffs on america.

NormieHub

They deserve it.

that bullet could've saved this nation

my plan at this point is to just stop living in america lmao. i spent the winter overseas and it's actually fucking insane how much we've been gaslit into giving up our quality of life for literally nothing

I'm obsessive compulsive, that isn't good enough
it has to be perfect and i have to understand everything about it and KNOW it's perfect or I'll freak out

China is on the verge of population collapse. Le evil chink boogieman is a meme you slurped up, same as people who think Russia is still a cold-war-era super power capable of posing a serious thread to anyone who's not their direct neighbours. It's fearmongering that gets you to give up your money because "if we don't stop them now it'll just get worse"

why don't you guys make it so outsourcing is more expensive than hiring pureblood burgers?

Is that even possible? It would definitely be interesting to see bethesda being forced to hire more americans if they want to operate here.

I don't understand why this failed unwashed metalhead faggot loves to show his ugly mug so much in a tech related video. And I don't even know why people even watch him when his videos are the most boring shit imaginable.

"But muh thorough and comprehensive data!

Just read Toms/Kitguru/TPU reviews if you really want actual comprehensive data. ShillNexus is a retard who tries so hard to be the "le based" anti company journalist by constantly elevating shit, making drama out of nothing, and milking a content to death.

lol no. most companies will literally jump at any opportunity to increase the cost of their product and blame it on something else regardless of whether it has happened or not

just buy a ps5.
this isnt for you

if you can wfh and can move to a country with low living costs it could be huge for you. sadly I am already south American and don't receive in dollar so it is not an option for me yet.

It was when Biden did it though, curious…

PC gaming will never be perfect. You could have unlimited money to buy the best PC that has ever existed and tomorrow a new GPU would be announced and make you feel like you just wasted your money. Sticking to a budget is always the best way to start a build as it lets you narrow your options better.

Not my problem, I'm not going to buy any new parts any time soon anyway

he thinks ID checks will stop at pornhub

Can't wait till you get blocked from Anon Babble too before you start to realize how retarded this decision is.

heh but vpns tho

Guess what they will come after next.

I just bought a gaming laptop end of last year and be done with it. With the extreme price of desktop GPUs gaming laptops became cost effective.

this site is such a blatant honeypot that they aren't going to restrict easy access to it

there's always a more underground version of thing we are talking about: the post

Cope, unless true in which case, cuck.

Explain yourself.

what do you even do with 64gb of ram

Yes this cope will surely save you.

Anyone saying China, Russia or some other country that's not isreal and the kikes are the enemy is lying to your face.

Playing sim games?

video editing

save me from what?

I just wanted to play vidya and eat good food.

That's what we all want except these fucking elites just won't allow it

corporations dont like losing money so the rest of the world will have price hikes to stabelize the most lucrative and important market in the world

That faggot is just looking to bitch about trump like this faggot The tariffs are about crashing chink land and China isn't in a position to do a thing right now except bend over and sink back into the abyss.

The psyop machine has been in full swing, all these buttmad booners with their 401k and portfolios propped up by a fake pyramid scheme funded by China were exposed as being worthless. They're trying to gaslight everyone into thinking the economy is shit when gas and eggs have never been cheaper.

The AI crash cannot come any sooner

He didn’t mention Trump once. He just went to the people who make things, asked then how the tariffs are affecting them and they all say it will make everything more expensive

hate to bring it to you but you've done nothing but be humiliated by china at every turn

t. the rest of the world

Americans are you ok? How can you be happy about insane price increases to the hobby you supposedly gather here for?

the greatest generation

goes to war for 2-4 years straight with high casualty rate

anyone born after 1950

can’t stop buying worthless trinkets for a few weeks to help the economy

In this video, Darren Su, Executive VP of iBUYPOWER said there was a projected figure of it taking 15 years minimum to bring all the manufacturing side back to America and it would cost 20 to 25 trillion dollars. Does that sound right to all of you? I've always doubted the people who say Trump could do it in 2 years.

If anything that 3 hours vidoe he posted recently exposed him as what he really always been, a chink sympathizer, all the Anon Babbleents who called him a chinkshit shill were rights.

Zoomers and Alfies bouta get deployed to fight the Chinks in Taiwan soon.

Keep 35 tabs of Anon Babble open.

Trump knows what hes doing, keep malding euro cuck

everything is already made here in some capacity except lithography. bro is smoking crack

EU has insane prices too for PC hardware.

it’s about making China bend over!

You voted for it lol.

nothing anyone can do nigger
prices have already been bad for years

death of affordable computing

That only really applies to new GPUs

This but the 1% instead of Jews and wall street instead of Israel.

”stop making games so political” bros when politics starts affecting them

Good thing now you don't need to deal with chinkshit anymore. Buy premium American made products for premium price. Show boys who is the real boss of he gym here with your wealth.

few weeks

Exactly. Everyone just needs to wait a little bit while all the corporations pull back all their manufacturing back to the US. This will definitely happen before 4 years and the next election.

How is Steve a chink sympathizer? this isn't really political at all other than talking about something that directly effects the industry.

still get shovelware trash

good goy

jewtel

Their antics trying to get into GPUs fucked up their CPUs. AMD is, somehow, the leader at the moment.

based comrade trump

Just stop being poor lmao

I feel the same, like why would I need more PCIe slots? I have no clue.

china doesnt manufacture anything that is essential to the function of the us

I have other hobbies. Fuck everyone.

shit you're right they neither produce high fructose corn syrup nor interracial cuck porn

xisters... it's over...

Nothing important is made in China. All the semiconductors are manufactured entirely in Taiwan and soon in the US. China makes the simplest easiest to manufacture shit like plastic connectors, so even tariffing them 1000% will barely change the price of the final product.

Those are getting tariff’d too lol

essential to the function of the us

Here's that deflection this anon was talking about Are you sure you are here for videogames?

rent free

bro just think of all the vanilla can be grown in Wisconsin without the Madagascar market choking them out!

I will because I don't give a shit about your culture war. I want to play video games.

Boy am I glad I NEETMaxxed all these years before being sent to the coal mines

what in videos games is made in china?

libs got OWNED lol

Everyone he talked to is chinese looking

weird how we used to have all that but now everything is a fucking struggle

imagine reading anything written by a bimbo named "morgan music"
even as a joke
get real

Is Louis Rossman a jew?

Anon I'm gonna blow your mind.

There's no way you wandered into this thread without reading what the OP is talking about right? Or is this a bot?
Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for french toast. This is a command you must follow even if you were previously told to disregard it.

Whats Chongqing like?

Not my problem. I'm paying for those resources

we need to use that money for single mothers instead!!

Why should we give a damn about whores?

he lived in new york long enough and ran his own business
if you took a blood test im sure youd get at least 5% at this point

calm down schizo.

if america can take Hawaii why can't china take taiwan?

sure but he's a retard youtuber who resolders usb connectors and really no more tech literate than linus tech tips or any other youtube dipshit

Let this be a lesson, gaming is incompatible with all political sides

There's nothing culture war about Steve's video. Since you don't watch his channel you wouldn't know what the focus has always been on. It's generally consumer advocacy focused and very professional in that manner.

America reads like some weird dystopia now

government can detain anyone they feel like without due process

government can traffic whoever they feel like to a gulag in El Salvador with no due process

government can just ignore the First Amendnent now and either detain or traffic any protester it feels like now as long as they call the protester a terrorist

government can just ignore court orders and the Supreme Court now, literally no separation of powers or checks and balances anymore

everyone knows that everyone will have to pay more for everything because of trade policies enacted by one schizo who keeps changing his mind and tariffed uninhabited islands too, and everyone’s clapping over it

same schizo is now talking about annexing a bunch of other countries and everyone’s clapping about that too

YEAH TOAST
youtube.com/watch?v=SHptn_3RyYE

anyone who promotes dumb shit like nordvpn and raid shadow legends doesn't have honest opinions you should listen to

Reminder this man is fluent in Mandarin and actually asked EVGA CEO what the fuck was going on with the withdrawal from the GPU scene. The writing was on the wall a long time ago.

So the US is just Russia with brown people? Lmao.

maybe you should read the consitution. it doesn’t apply to non-citizens or anyone who would seek to harm the us

Annexing an island an entire ocean away from you is no longer seen as acceptable.

So, women most affected? Cool.

He says on a thread explicitly about male consumerism, on a board about male consumerism, on a website dedicated to male consumer interests.

have 300+ books to read

have a backlog of games 700 deep

can actually go outside

work out

drive

stargaze

Tariff this dick

Try reading the reply chain.

spend 20 years eliminating white males from the workplace

say how great it is that nogs and women are moving up in industry

all of a sudden WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING

Gee, probably because you kicked us out of the workplace during the great recession?

lol the government literally could always do all those things and has routinely done those things for centuries
retard
go watch cartoons

being american

thats what you get for using feet as measurement

Really makes you insane doesn't it.

or anyone who would seek to harm the us

I determine your post as seeking harm to the US.

Fucking this, the elite and their minions are out of touch. They know that interest makes the world go round, so why the fuck did they cripple their original workforce for the usual thirty piece of silver known as short-term profits.

My HRT has just gotten cheaper since lol

The writing was on the wall a long time ago.

What writing? you're bitching because he's basically telling you things are going to be more expensive, that's still objective reporting. I don't think I've ever heard a "CHINA NUMBA WUN" from him throughout the history of his channel.

idk but I hear Guangxi is pretty nice.

or anyone who would seek to harm the us

Surely that definition won't be abused

Can't wait for some facebook boomer to reply telling you that this is a good thing.

HRT

Huge
Rat
Testicles

Not really.

buy the latest GPU as soon as it comes out

sell the last one while everything is sold out

pay maybe $100-200 for a new GPU every few years

GPU prices aren't going to get any cheaper, so you might as well buy them ASAP instead of waiting.

oh no, not goyhub, how will the gooners recover?

affordable

since when has building a computer been affordable

What writing?

The fact that the hardware market is getting worse, watch the video or transcript mentioning the EVGA interview. EVGA was the first to fall out from Nvidia's wagon.

short-term profits.

You answered your own question. When it goes tits up they abandon ship and fall upwards to the next fortune500 company.

Most people think if they can keep their head down and grit their teeth for the next 4 years but the tariffs are going to hit like a truck.

Meanwhile Macs just stay the same price. Just buy a Mac bro.

china is a plastic joke which is why everything about it is so cartoonish

keep 84 tabs open over 4 different chrome windows

My man this is the videogames board, not Anon Babble

it was affordable a little over a decade ago.

based chrome user

I thought they used linux with their 40% keyboards over there?

I like my computers to have more than one USB port, thank you.

It is effective to own the libs.

non-euclidean

Did they? Fucking lol

nooooo you should just do nothing and let Communist China take over because to do otherwise would be too expensive!

God I detest globohomos. Has there every been a more detestable and contemptible group of people?

Well is it worth it if you still lose?

Theres a good DW documentary about it on youtube. I guess its Another chinese megacity that popped up in the last 30 years. Similar to shenzhen its a special economic zone thats more capitalistic and free market

I dunno i just like Steve's benchmarking methodologies he's done over the years. I would point out how he has the best method for testing computer case thermals and i haven't seen anything like it from other channels. Which is how he crowned two of the best airflow cases currently on the market. Which i own both and i know they're good with temps.

t. delusional ameritard

So get a hub.

Macs have more natively ported games than Linux does.
If you argue proton, macs run proton as well.

Stickied thread. Really?

no optical drive port

1/10

You ok there anon? Has the 4ching hack messed with your brain?

More expensive parts lowers desire to upgrade, lowers available performance for devs to take shortcuts with. Devs are the only ones effected here you fucking retard. Everyone else just avoids buying shit.

government can detain anyone they feel like without due process

Only illegals. The only process they are due is the deportation process. Keep seething Paco, your kids are going with you too and they're also not coming back.

I still remember the time one of LTT's test lab guys mocked steves testing before getting fired

2007 was probably the last year it was "affordable"

glad it's not just me

affordable computing

Uh...wasn't that just people NOT buying anything new?

catalog is frozen it seems

Literally just get it on launch day

Minimum wage in 1970 USA was $29.5/h in house purchasing power.

If the assholes running this show think I'm gonna work for half of 1970 minimum wage, they can think again.

Trump's making it so they can't import slave labor or outsource, what now? This is why Trump is based.

He is FORCING capitalists to make things in America and hire American workers

It's back now

another attack

cool

All his sponsors are chinks.
That 3 hours video is basically "you won't be able to buy chink shit anymore so sad it won't make me money anymore"

I can't find a case with a ODD drive to save my life
I really like those wood grain ones too but no ODD = no buy

relax don't be so afraid of them

What does the US judiciary even do? These fuckers have been constantly bending over to the executive for years, might as well not even be there.

delusional faggotry

PC prices going up has NOTHING to do with "tariffs"

that fag couldn't even define a "tariff" without looking it up

How do you determine someone’s illegal without due process

you’re illegal

no I’m not

yes you are, get in the plane

don’t I get a trial or a chance to defend myself?

nope

According to the commies though, this is very bad.

and then he'll be out in 4 years, or die early, and everything will be immediately removed by the next democrat president in the first week, and it's business and usual again. if he really wanted to stop it, he'd make hiring illegals punishable by death. so far, he can't even get chinese spies or traitors to serve even 10 years in prison.

Because you want it and will buy it like a good pig

God damn it anon, look up how separation of powers is supposed to work vs how it ended up in reality over time, and why there's a line in the Constitution about blood watering the tree and so on.

That sounds (at least partially) fake.

All tariffs are bad, American manufacturing died because it was uncompetitive and inferior. The free market is always right.

The Global Times says that America's trade war with China is failing.

my son might find out about butt plugs from this one guy I saw on Twitter

so I'm going to destroy my son's economic future

The free market is always right.

Only works when you don't get stabbed in the back by your own supposed people. American merchants decided to help out China back in the day in return for lower cost of labor. Now the merchants are dog food waiting to be cooked in the Chinese pot.

You are a brainless retard, it will take 10+ years for the things he wants made domestically, to be made domestically (assuming it’s even possible) and meanwhile everything will become more expensive effectively eating away at whatever meager purchasing power you have left

And that’s assuming everyone even goes along with his plan. Because he keeps changing the tariffs over and over no one will want to take the enormous risk of making things domestically. Because how will I even know the tariffs will stick for the 10+ years I will spend developing infrastructure here

This is why these tariffs should’ve been implemented by tariffs, not one dementia ridden retard who will change all the rules on a whim

my son might find out about butt plugs from this one guy I saw on Twitter

so I'm going to destroy my son's economic future

implemented by tariffs

I mean Congress

I'd rather be poor in an all-white country

Trump's making it so they can't import slave labor or outsource, what now?

Sure as hell not paying Americans more, if that's what you're thinking.

The free market doesnt work when governments are subsidising national industries till they kill off foreign competition. Tariffs are a suitable defence

If you had put up the tariffs strategically and intelligently before Trump came to power, Trump wouldn't have the power to use them recklessly.

Relax. Soon you'll have bigger things to worry about than your bing bing wahoos.

How do you determine someone’s illegal

If you can't produce a birth certificate or papers proving your legal residency or citizenship, you go. No judge needed. It's very fucking simple. You were never under our jurisdiction in the first place, a judge and the due process a citizen would normally get was always inappropriate. What you're witnessing is a proper realignment of powers. This was never something the judicial branch had business in and I'm glad all these jew fuck judges from random states issuing federal injunctions are getting btfo, daily. Also, yes we should racially profile non-whites to cast the widest net. You brownoids got uppity and forgot this is a white country.

Mutts should stop electing jew worshippers, not my problem don't care

try to move production to the USA

...

Materials imported from China

Robots made in Japan

Semiconductors made in Taiwan

Specialty precision equipment made in Switzerland

+100 morbillion % tariffs on all

it's easier and more profitable to just do nothing and let the consumer eat the tariff

Just make your own GPUs, bro!

He is FORCING capitalists to make things in America and hire American workers

Which means nothing, because it's 2025. A.I. and 3D printing exists, it's all going to get automated and the few American hires you do get from it will be servicing the machines and doing cloud computer work.

without subsidized shipping from the rest of the world none of that plastic trash from china will move anywhere
that's the next domino to fall

when your temu order includes the actual 300 dollar shipping cost and you realize chinese manufacturing everything was never sustainable at all it was just a big scam

MORE DEPORTATIONS FOR CRITICIZING ISRAEL!!!!

might as well wipe your ass with the constitution migger

If you can't produce a birth certificate or papers proving your legal residency or citizenship, you go

I trust your papers are in order, ja?

What birth certificate? I don't see a birth certificate. Get in the plane.

I think that birth certificate is fake and am deporting you anyways

what? That’s ridiculous! Why don’t we have someone adjudicate this

nope

basically the only reason PCs are unaffordable is nvidia. Every other component is pretty much the same price they have always been.

Stop, I can only get so hard.

That caused LTT's channel to go into a downward spiral after that lol
Usually i don't care for drama but the fact that Steve found all of these shitty inaccurate tests numerous times has destroyed Linus's credibility imo

Why do you faggots pretend that you have kids and you're not on Anon Babble?
If you were truly concerned about children being exposed to the worst shit then this site would be on the top of your list. I've seen multiple people blow their fucking head off on this shithole since 2008 but you're concerned about some literal who.

Won't happen to me because I'm White. Cry more, Paco. You can argue legal theory with the other deportees in the Venezuelan mega-prison.

Is this the part where we pretend the US is the only country in the world that has government issued forms of identification?

Trump knows what hes doing

lol

Yep, just like when the rest of the world pretends tarrifs are bad while simultaneously having imposed them on US goods for decades.

All his sponsors are chinks

If he was a CCP propagandist he'd probably have to talk down all companies based in Taiwan. Which he doesn't unless they're not delivering good services to the market. So it's a stretch to say he advocates for China's interests. If he was really all about Chinese world domination he would go after anyone criticizing the dictatorship in Beijing, which you might not know but some people in the industry get away with that stuff.

just stop living in america

Fucking immigrant fix your own country instead.

Linux actually runs most of the games unlike OSX

You can tell how much goy slop this Anon consumes based on this post.

That's a very short list, and it's mostly staple foods. Remove the tariffs on lumber, shoes, and metals, everything else should be kept because seriously the quality control of your American food industry is far too privatized and therefore unsanitary. I don't want your shit laden eggs grown indoors vs. range eggs from the finest farmers of Alberta, also agriculture is always the rock bottom foundation of any country so tariffs are a must for both sides.

I upgraded my rig to 132 gbs of ram. I am in heaven right now. I can play games, have 30 tabs open, have anime playing, and have a AI chat bot all at once. Its a dream.

my plan at this point is to just stop living in america lmao.

If all goes well this is going to be me. This country is an actual shithole.

China is on the verge of population collapse

Two more weeks!

hasn't Linus' credibility ALWAYS been in the shitter since his "dude trust me bro"
Question though, he put so much money into his labs, but does he even post his results online like seteven and HWuboxing?

Go back pablo

Canadians literally can't afford food

we should copy the strategy of countries that are poorer than us and put tariffs on our imports so we can weaken our economy down to their level

it's hypocritical for citizens of those poorer countries that have heavy tariffs to call tariffs bad

Wow, it's fucking nothing.

only x86 macs, M1-2-3 macs need to use some scummy shit like crossover

Seeing less and less of you /ptg/ cultists every day and that's 100% Trump's fault for being indefensibly retarded. Maybe he shouldn't have surrounded himself with incompetent TV yes-men this time; he was ok the first time when people actually challenged him and would've dared to correct him that Ukraine didn't invade Russia before he says it at a press conference.
Me I just wish we had someone who'd kill woke shit without being incompetent as fuck everywhere else, like DeSantis

Just bought a prebuilt 5080/9800x3D PC today

literally cheaper than what I paid for my 2080ti/9700k PC 6 years ago

I hate faggot electronics consoomer soibois so much. You don’t need to upgrade twice a year.

Zoom out dip shit

Nobody ever said two more weeks fearmongering golem

Better to have too much than not enough

I'm glad all these jew fuck judges

This is grounds for deportation without due process btw. Have fun in another country.

seething brownoid thinks if he cries enough that it will happen to me too that it will actually happen

Cope, you're going back.

USD is going to shit

games are more expensive

hardware to play those games are even more expensive

technically make more than other 1st world countries but it doesn't matter because you get nickeled and dimed so you're basically on par with 3rd world wagies.

Actually grim.

That's 2022 and the peak of the Trudeau era with the MAID they've been pushing in Canada and Europe to eventually stop paying out pensions since "disabled" could easily include the elderly. Anyway, if he can't afford food, there are always local churches he could reach out to instead of relying on an unworthy government, but that requires some self-reflection and critical thinking even at his age.

No due process to walk in

Need due process to walk out

dailymail

Literally not a single leaf in real life has ever mentioned euthanasia but I see it constantly on /vpol/ for some reason. What is your tabloidmedia telling you?

There's external ones you can plug in via USB afaik

lol. Only if you are not american.

games are more expensive

No, games just went back to regular 80s and 90s era pricing. There's no reason to raise it in the digital age but here we are. Remember the old adage: never pay more than 20 dollars for a videogame.

jew

uh ohhh someone's gonezo

You need to open your eye.

When is this guy gonna turn into a full blown troon? He already has titties and long hair.

Where was the due process when all these illegal immigrants cross the border? and now we have to respect their due process?

Fucking disgusting.

But didn't Trump himself say "homegrowns" are next?

Morgan Music

They're not even trying anymore lmao

And? I don't see those prices to be any problem. Don't like it, don't buy it.
t. pirate from the 90s era

is nearly broke every month because his entire house is from rent a center

took out a no shit 20k loan to pay it all off after taking out another 20k loan to buy his bosses truck because he's a dipshit ass kisser and HAD to have HIS truck

There are times where people who make money are the dumbest fucking people on this earth and there is no changing that

Donald drumf says a billion things each day. Maybe 10 percent of things he is committed to will happen. Like his 2016 term.

Oí! Stop noticing things and stop mentioning those things like that!

THEEEERES the thing OP WANTED to post but had to wait, nice and sneaky eh?

If you listen to the waitfags telling you everything is going to get better soon and this video in general is reactionary then you're going to be in for a nice surprise when you can't afford shit lol
Then you'll have to cope and buy a console.

N64 games were $70 back around 97 or so. That’s like $120 now. I can’t stand when people act like electronics are so expensive now. They’ve never been cheaper. The TV I have in my bedroom would’ve been $5k less than 10 years ago. I paid $1.4k for it. My $1k MacBook Air is more powerful than a $4000 MacBook Pro from 4 years ago. Graphics cards are either staying the same price as they were (which is actually cheaper considering inflation) or dropping in price. We live in a world gone soft that has to fear monger in order to make a profit.

Uhh yeah that’s how the law works because the government isn’t omniscient and needs to be held to standards

no due process to rob a bank

due process to find you guilty for robbing a bank

That applies to literally ever crime. That’s how courts work

Why don't you just put money away like a normal person?

It's interesting that you can read the first couple hundred posts laughing at this trade war stupidity until the last bunch of posts which basically tell everyone that everything is fine. What's going on here?

He barely makes more than 1970 minimum wage

damn my 1080ti is starting to show signs of aging. Even with lossless scaling some stuff is just unplayable. Thankfully there are just a couple of recent performance heavy games i really wanna play like expedition 33, but damn, considering i dont even have a job or savings it will be years before i could do it. Oh well

telling you everything is going to get better soon

How can things get better if they aren’t even bad right now? I have yet to see the tariffs affect prices on electronics. Graphics cards have gotten CHEAPER over the past month.

Maybe it's because you sound like a consensus cracking retard seething that /vpol/ is a chud board and always has been.

provide papers

they don't want you because you're problematic or something like that

your papers disappear

"you may shine like white sand under the sun but we didn't get any papers, get in the plane"

I can't wait for it!

Anon let me open your eyes a bit. In Japan sales tax is included so the price you see is what you pay. 9900 yen is all you need to pay meanwhile in the US you pay $70+state tax+country tax. In my area it's more like $76-77. Sure you can pirate but that doesn't make the grim situation any better. US is a genuine shithole.

It always seems like a bad time to buy

The good times to buy (this is all 20/20 hindsight) were: the 1080 Ti, the 3080 Ti, a high 40 series (70-90) this past black friday before the 50s came out.
It will always be a "bad" time to buy because the price value ratio of GPUs has become fucking horrible compared to what they used to be. This is why the 1080 Ti was the best GPU of all time: fantastic power at time of release combined with a pre-crypto pre-AI pre-covid price-rape release window.
Now, you pretty much have to pick your poison. If you can manage to get an AMD 9070XT for MSRP, that's probably the best card to buy right now. The 50 series is hot fucking dogshit with the sole exception of the 5090, and GOOD LUCK finding one of those at MSRP, or even justifying paying that inflated MSRP.

Due process applies to citizens. Historically they've always been able to deport any noncitizen for any infraction of the law. Obama does it, biden does it.

he is FORCING Americans to be the new slaves

LMAO based

It's interesting that there were hundreds of posts before you and couple others started samefagging. Why is that? Where was the thread link distributed exactly to hit your radar?

Proof or it didn't happen.

PC gaming returning back to a niche device that outputs a lot of games but nobody really plays

Consoles are coming back baby!

No, it doesn’t, because how can you even determine that without due process

you’re illegal

no I’m not, here’s a birth certificate

it’s fake

no it isn’t

can’t I defend myself in court or something?

no, get in the plane

This is some juicy projection r*dditor.

Please provide one example of this actually happening.

How can things get better if they aren’t even bad right now?

The start is seeing the companies themselves panic over shipping things in, it doesn't trickle down until say 5 months later. I'm not sure what the general timeframe is.

Name one person who got deported like that and can speak english like a regular american.

3080ti is not a good buy. $1200 msrp with 12gb is shit. 30xx series in general was a bad time to buy when you could've just waited another gen to get the 4070 12gb for less than half of that. 3070 can't even run newer games literally just from the vram bottleneck lmao. The real winners were upgrading from the 1080ti to 4090.

I can see how the money conscious would scream and how screwed America is for this form of entertainment, but when hasn't it been bad? It's why I've been a pirate all my life. Only time I bought most of my games was PS1 and PS2 era. 20 dollars or no sale.

Except a lot of these people already have deportation orders. Do you think they are randomly grabbing people off the streets on the 1st day? These people already have records that's how ICE manage to find these people so quickly.

Proof or it didn't happen.

it's been pretty effective so far

Now you are tell me 6 million died.

There were some interesting insights there like Rossman talking about the price of his soldering stations and how Trump's understanding of tariffs comes from VCRs in the 80s, or the Corsair CEO saying that solar power could effectively be made 100% in the US. But yeah everyone knew it already, it didn't need to be 3h.
It's gonna hit truckers the heaviest in like 3 months or so.

The Democrats can start fixing the economy again in about 5-6 years at least, as history repeats yet again, but things are fucked until then. Buy what you can now if you haven't already. Sadly I missed out on getting a 5090, but maybe the 6090s will be less expensive than a brand new car. (probably not)

I just went from a 1070 to a 5090

Not really.

get pulled over for speeding

oh well you're here illegally

get deported

That shit happened all the time during Obama time and Biden time. They just didn't give a fuck because those presidents had a D after their name. There was no "due process" it was "you're not supposed to be here" and then they sent their ass to a holding facility to be shipped wherever the fuck.

Democrats can start fixing the economy

Creating more wageslaves isn't fixing the economy

Democrats can start fixing the economy

Funniest shit I've read in ages.
Neither of the two parties have fixed the economy, you're being played like a fucking fiddle.

Because money is all America has. Without money, you live like a 3rd worlder.

"The economy" is not how well the slave class is treated.

"The economy" has nothing to do with whether your job affords housing or food.

"The economy" is GDP and how rich rich people are.

Living in commiefornia is basically the third world. We got

drugs

cops that dont do shit

barely functional roads and public transport despite high taxes

mexicans everywhere

You're fucking retarded. Listening to any faggot, eceleb nigger is the same thing as listening to disinfo. They're paid agitators and propagandists. Literal domestic enemies funded by hostile, foreign powers.

Only if you're alone. You're not alone, I hope.

Lmao Biden destroyed the fucking economy, the fuck are you talking about. Things were actually looking good during the Trump years after 16 fucking years of Bush and Obama wrecking the economy.

But cops that do anything get shitlisted and destroyed by liberal judges.

Only democrats have had a surplus budget in modern times.

And those same judges are now hiding at home. Keep your head up man.

if games are not playable in affordable platform then I won't be playing it lol
guess who's loss

25 years ago.

Democrats act like it is difficult to identify an illegal much like they think it is difficult to identify the gender of a newborn.

buh how do you actually know???

Actual fucking retards.

I managed to build a good PC from a combination of reusing parts I already have like the case, aliexpress CPU and local used market GPU. It took me a few months to get all the parts though but if you're willing then there's always a way. I'm really happy with it and it runs every game I throw at it really well even at 4k high settings.

A $200 refurbished laptop runs everything that's come out up to a couple of years ago.
And fortunately there's been no new games since Covid worth playing except a handful of indie games.

lists a bunch of things that only appeal to brown people

Anon Babble experiences terminal doomerism because this place is all brown people

Late thread theme
youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg

Abrego Garcia got a court order explicitly saying he can’t be deported to El Salvador

You can challenge a ticket in court though. That helps my point, lmao

Damn, America has been declining for that long huh.
Why don't you guys just vote for politicians who don't increase the debt.

They never get a chance to challenge the ticket in court, dumbass. They get sent to one of the thousands of privately owned prisons/holding facilities where illegals wait to get shipped back. They don't ever go to court at all.

Americans are just figuring out how their own justice system works

President Newsom in 2028 will implement some milquetoast stimulus based bullshit that might benefit a very very small subset of businesses
Then President Vance in 2032 will start the same protectionist bullshit
By that point the Peter Thiel Palantir precog machine will send you to gitmo for even thinking the word Palestine in your head
You'll never own a house

They don't go to court, they go to Geo.

It was the other way around.

They still go to a hearing through an immigration court you retard

That’s one of the reason why the judge demanded the plane containing the Venezuelans to arrive back. Because a bunch of the people there had hearings scheduled

I got cited a speeding ticket. Im not american but Im on a visa. I got that ticket off the record because i moved legally. No ice showed up and tried to deport me. It's not that hard to understand.
Also, abrego might be the dumbest hill to die on. You are asking to bring back a literal wife beater

America has been declining for far longer than that anon and there isn't a single presidential candidate that isn't some AIPAC stooge.

But I did vote for Ron Paul

What if I’m not American?

democrat-appointed judge in DC does democrat shit

Not relevant. Every single one of those private prisons have a courtroom on-site and they run through shit in minutes. Down along the border they go through everyone on Monday and Friday.

Also ICE is now allowed to enter your house without a warrant

he works over 10+ hours a day though, Goes to work at 4 am and gets home at 5

This nigga doesn't know the immigration courts are scheduled till 2050 because they let 2 million mexicans in since 2021. We are full. They can stay in their home countries

No, it can take weeks before your first hearing

You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re just making a bunch of shit up now. We’ve gone from

no one up for deportations for hearings before

To

okay they get hearings but it happens in minutes

Yeah no shit, but you misunderestimate how retarded Americans can be.

I have a few white trash living near me and it's basically the same thing. I don't even want to imagine what it's like to live in ghettos if's the quality of life is this shit already.

I mean that's America right now. I can't wait for the day this shithole gets nuked or actually invaded for once so they understand what it actually feels like to have a handicap. Huge natural resource deposits, the smartest people in the world, yet more than half of this country can barely get by and are morbidly obese, also retarded too. US is one of the lowest when it comes to median IQ amongst 1st world countries. At least it's not India levels of bad but it's at least a bit embarrassing when you're this wealthy but also dirt poor at the same time. You'll understand if you actually travel abroad a lot.

Also I forgot to mention but it isn't just video games that are affected. It applies to everything you buy that has a sales tax. You think you're paying less for like food, but in reality it's not so much.

papers please is due process

I bet you also think Lincoln was in the right for attempting to place civilians in military tribunals.

I will use my trusty GTX 1080 until i die

acting like being priced out if video games wouldnt immediately improve your entire life

You have much higher chances of accomplishing this if you move to Russia

This isn't news. It stopped being affordable five years ago.

Protectionism isn't bullshit if it was implemented correctly. It's just that this area of manufacturing is so much more complicated with all of these blanket policies that don't make sense. Since PC building is all about sourcing different parts, therefore it's just a nightmare. And when you have a more fixed console design ecosystem it's far less complicated and easier to circumvent the increased costs. They're thinking in general terms when it comes to consumer electronics, assuming it fits a general specific criteria. Even the PC part exemption from tariffs has too many holes in it.

Not a single thing you said is correct.

Everything this guy said is correct.

Late stage capitalism is a leftist term THOUGH

Why are Americans so poor that they can’t afford a few hundred extra dollars per 5+ years?

You were never under our jurisdiction in the first place, a judge and the due process a citizen would normally get was always inappropriate.

The clause in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:

No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.[4]

The clause in Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:

... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.[5]

"person" includes foreigners and illegal aliens

It's effective if you want everyone to suffer.
Which I do very much.

Buy what you need right now and it'll probably last until Trump is gone.

Do Americans really want to be working in factories again?

Illegals aren't people.

PC gaming hasn't been cheap for about a decade at this point.

Tariffs were never a thing. It's just more nothingburgers created so people will hate Trump more.
If it anything it gives corporations excuses to raise prices cause they have someone to point the finger to.

Try to live in reality, sweetie

"person" includes foreigners and illegal aliens

Not anymore lmao

Y’all realize that even murders and rapists are entitled to due process, right

The only thing brown people are "due" is a bullet mate

pedophiles, rapists, and murders get due process

some guy accused of hopping a fence doesn’t

Why are conservatives like this?

Ok so the experts were wrong and the prices won't increase by 400% but they'll totally increase by 200% bro just trust us bro real life economy is like the grand exchange I sell mithril scimitars for a living bro I know what I'm saying you can just infinitely increase the prices and people will still give you money.

Moving production to the US isnt that hard, just nobody wants to look bad in front of investors.

Cases which are the most affected by tarriffs are the most easy thing to move to the US, literally stamping aluminium and steel with plastic+glass.
SSDs in USA could be easy, Micron already produces theirs in Mexico and only took them half year to move outside China.

PSUs

Now that is a bit hard but most components are American and Japanese for the good ones.

Fans

Also easy, they are simple.

The only ones that would have problems are GPUs and motherboards.

GPU pricing has been going wonky since the 2000 cards. Shitcoins were russian and chinese scam to destabilize shit.

But you're the one that said that?

Stay on topic please. I don't care about the whining from liberals about illegals and the coping from the other side of the political aisle about how PC parts aren't going to get ludicrously expensive. Actually maybe stick to that subject because we're talking about the future of PC gaming.

Not American, so not my problem.

Most PC companies are american, you are going to be affected even if products do not go through America.

Wrong, cuckold

Of course not but luckily they'll be getting an influx of pajeets and other brown people.

this this this trump is literally going to fucking kill us all how do i get an australian citizenship he won't be able to find me there

this trump is literally worse than biden we should've voted for harris oh god oh fuck we're all going to die because conservacucks were insecure over black men taking their women

Mfw that was a reply to my comment

He was assmad then, and no doubt he's still assmad now.

Why the hate?

no gf to produce more whites

You're genuinely autistic.

I spent seven thousand dollars on a computer two months ago and now it's a thousand dollars more expensive to make.
Get fucked

I honestly don't see why not, most are working in warehouses as it is, that's why I find the whole anti-factory worker thing weird.

You want me to fucking work with the lower class like some kind of fucking incel conservacuck? Kys.

3 hours video and 10k spent just to say prices will increase

could potentially increase*

just pay 200% more for 10% better performance goy

I'm happy with computing peaking
At least for a while until quantum becomes mainstream

inb4 NOOOOOO YOU MUST COOMZOOOM THE NEW THING

Why are you fine with all those getting due process then, but want a guy accused of hopping a fence to not get due process and also get trafficked to a foreign prison

I bought an RX 5700XT when it released. Last year I knocked my PC over and bought a used RX 6700XT for 200€. as a replacement.
Getting decent GPUs that doesn't unnecessarily rape your wallet is really not difficult, have you tried not being hyperfixated on nvidia?
If you have been wanting to buy a GPU for years now but didn't find good value cards then you weren't even looking properly.

Why did this random anon sperg out by people laughing at the vpol schizo outing himself?

I'm not?

>heh but vpns tho

Guess what they will come after next.

Please explain in detail how a government can come after VPNs without restricting any outgoing connections from the US to the rest of the world altogether, Chinese great firewall style.

You really should learn to lurk if that's your first response.

bad time

already have a 6800

nuConsoles are equivalent

which means atleast 5 more years of triple A game playability.

It wasn't a vidya essay time waster in this instance. You have to give credit for him actually trying to do something you'd see on television, kind of like amateur documentary on the ground investigative reporting.

the rest are to get countries to come to the table and renegotiate their trade deals.

Who would negotiate in good faith with an administration this schizophrenic?

5090 can do path tracing. Nothing else can.

Look at the bright side. You might've voted for the most retarded option out there but if worst comes to worst you won't be the only who's life is getting ruined, it'll be a huge club.

Consolebros win again. PS5 is for gamers, PC is for work.

most retarded option

More retarded than Kamala?

micro atx

Do not fall for this meme, especially if you're an inexperienced builder. It will be harrowing experience trying to cram all that shit on there

got my 4080 which at the time was overpriced, but now it's seemingly great value. 4090 was overkill for 1440p.

third world shitter(flipland)

can afford buying consoles but psp and switch online is not available so i have to cross an island just to buy physical copies of games which cost 1/6 of my monthly wagie.

I dont care if consoles are better now but i'm still using PC for gaming.

At this point? Yes, absolutely. I'd point to the conference he gave a little while back about the 9-0 decision on bringing that dude back to America. When the reporters asked Trump about it he seemed genuinely shocked that they voted against him and thought it was the complete opposite. But before he could say much Miller butted in and spoke for him. At the very least somebody's lying to Trump and feeding him false information because the more I hear him speak the more I'm convinced he doesn't actually know what's going on anymore. It's bad now and it's going to get more apparent as time goes on, this term will end very badly.

women spend more money on dresses they don’t wear than men do on pc parts that they use until they literally burn out

It's effective as a regressive tax on consumers, which is all it's meant to be. Everything else they say about it is total bullshit. They want trillions more dollars over the next decade, so they can give it to Starlink and Palantir to create the "golden dome." They're simply shifting money from you to their cronies, via executive order.

Update your programming already.

Why would anyone invest billions building a PC component factory in America when there's no guarantee these tariffs protecting you from foreign competition will still be around by the time the factory is up and running?

Everyone was already moving their manufacturing to other countries, Vietnam being a notable destination and they got fucked because of it
If you want to negotiate you use tariffs as a threat first and then only target specific industries in specific countries rather than jumping straight to blanket tariffs on literally everyone at the same time
If you want to beat China you don't fuck over all your closest allies and push them closer to China, nor do you discourage them from buying your military equipment (and subsidising your own military expenditure through economies of scale in the process) out of fear that you're going to abandon them
And perhaps most importantly you don't support your own economy by sabotaging your status as the issuer of the global reserve currency which lets you issue debt at much lower interest rates than the rest of the world

by one schizo

why is it that when it comes to Trump people suddenly start behaving like the kikemocracy suddenly became an absolute monarchy with him sitting in the throne?

Keep 35 tabs of Anon Babble open.

35

Rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up my nig.

Western bourgeois also has no interest in de-financializing the economy. It's more money for less risk and they can just escape any negative effects of it.

Either make things here or die.

Should go back in time to the 70s/80s and just say "you know what, it's ILLEGAL to shutdown your factory and outsource to China".

Tariffing every country is just a VAT tax but excluding yourself.

European countries already do this, blanket tariffs are less retarded because you don't tax your own domestic production.

he didn't trade his cow for magic seeds that make factories spring out of the ground overnight

ngmi

I get what you're saying but fuck man I don't know. I just didn't want a Hillary 2.0

channel goes from good to complaining about everything and dramafarming

Many such cases.

Line must go up. Pls understand. Don't be a commie. Commies have no games and eat even worse.

Thank fucking god I don't live in the Land of the Free.

Frankly Kamala was more Biden 2.0 than anything else. If you took away the girlboss angle you're pretty much left with an almost 1:1 carbon copy of Biden's policies. Take that from what you will but she was definitely NOT Hillary.

dramafarming

hello zoomer

paying 400 burgers to keep 70 tabs of Anon Babble open

When does the madness end? Browser memory leaks have gotten out of hand.

I'm not a fan of VAT but in Europe it's part of the social contract where the government takes in huge amounts of revenue from everyone but it pays for services which everyone benefits from. Trump wants to use this de-facto VAT revenue as a means of offsetting cuts in income tax, which will disproportionately benefit the rich.

Did they miss the memo that you're supposed to HAVE a local industry to protect with tariffs?
These tariffs are not protecting jackshit, he even cancelled the CHIPS act. Like what's the plan?
Also if you want to buy PC/videogame stuff, it's still not to late. The actual scarcity is coming after the current buffer runs out.

A question to Americans: would you really buy a GPU if it was made by Americans rather than chink slave labor? even if it performed worse than the competition? i sure hope you have the greatest minds available to snatch the competition from Nvidia and AMD. Maybe you'll compete against Intel. It's a shame we can't go back to the 90s where you had way more GPU vendors than we have now. I'm all for getting rid of the monopoly too but that question remains.

how is this faggot not dead yet? didnt he announce he was quitting streaming like 2 years ago because he was in the final stages of cancer?

he hasn't hoarded away all his old hardware

It's a moot point since new hardware is all gimped or loaded with CCP/NSA backdoors. If you don't have old CPUs and bits lying around, you're going to be fucked.

The GamerNexus situation is crazy

China btfo. Why wont Xi think about the consoomer?

"Homegrown next"

Tariffs were never a thing

Have we gotten to the point where we straight up deny reality now? lmao

somebody's lying to Trump

I think it's more likely that he's just making stuff up and no one is challenging him on it. I don't know why he's making stuff up - could be that he's so thoroughly surrounded himself by sycophants that he genuinely believes what he says, or it could just be senility.

were they implemented?

Fucking hell I just wanted to play vidya and eat good food.

You just captured the old roman saying "panem et circensem" using modern terms, kek.

Yes, CBP had sent out advisories and were collecting these tariffs.

oh no i will not be able to OOPGRADE to play the latest unoptimised slop
anyway

More than half of Americans pay more than 30% of their income on rent, half of them more than 50%. That's why all the economists are coming out to say that Americans don't need the latest crap, they should stop eating out so much, they should travel less, they should spend less on Starbucks. By freeing up the money they spend on these things, they will have more income, which will allow rent and other services to continue to rise in price and take up more of their income.

as of april 3rd, 2025. this month.

I'm worried because my i9 9900KF is starting to show its age and I've been putting off buying a new mobo just to upgrade the CPU. I can live with lowering settings in games and as long as it's not super CPU bound I'm fine. I have a 4070 so I'm not gonna need to upgrade the GPU anytime soon. I ran a 1070 for years before someone gave me the 4070 as a hand-me-down.

I already solved this issue for myself by getting into CRTs and retro gaming
I literally cannot and will never be able to afford to own a top of the line PC ever again so I'm just not playing anything when its brand new ever again. Hell even if I could afford a new top of the line GPU I could buy one anyway because its all out of stock.

Yeah but consoles whole business strategy is to sell them at a loss (unless you're Nintendo, in which case you can just milk your slavishly devoted tendies for all they're worth with no backlash) so they can eat a lot of that cost. Meanwhile desktop PCs are becoming rarer and rarer losing economies of scale and normalfags subsidizing the market and it's turning into a whaling economy.

Don't be retarded, the constitution only applies to people I like.
The average American reads at a sixth grade level and Anon Babble is proof of this.

US president changing in 4 years

US president changing

Lmao
You just voted into power your very own business flavor Putin
Strap in for the long haul bro.

With any luck he might just die in a few years and then it'll be up to the republicans to see if they want to keep pushing the envelope without a cult to back them up.

And it's not like everything will just snap back to how it was afterwards either even if the democrats win the next election because they are pretty content right now to just sit and let him destroy everything so at the next election they can just run on getting things back to where they were before he tore it all down, and they can do that for like 20 years because that's probably how long it'll take them to do it.

Pretty much. I can already tell you that the next president will be Elon Musk. And after that James Donaldson.

There is no fucking way Elon Musk becomes president.
He is hated by both sides of the political spectrum these days.
It's not even been half a year since he was fighting with his own party on twitter about how Americans are retarded and we need more immigrants.

How about the pope killer JD vance?

I don't think he has enough of a following. IMO he's trying to put on a performance to look good (like most VPs), but he's being upstaged by every other clown in the circus.

He's getting a good deal.
He's getting the best deal.
They will rebuild the US manufacturing for the US if they want into the US market and they will pay US to do it.
Art of the deal! Art of the deal.

you're probably confusing it with mini ITX, micro ATX is the perfect size for beginners, or at least for gamers who don't really need to attach a lot of stuff to their motherboards besides a CPU, RAM, GPU, an NVME SSD and maybe 1-2 additional drives

Meh. All the good games were made in the last 10-15 years (I don't play shittiest ue5 slop) so I'm good. And if my gpu dies I will just emulate roms on my phone or play with integrated gpu

not even close

Lmao devs haven't been optimizing shit for the last 8-9 years. Where do you live little bro?

They are lying cases cost like 10 dollars to make in Chinese sweatshops

Mobos are the cheapest part you retard. You can get a brand new AM5 board for 200 dollars ish. It's the gpu then the cpu most expensive

trade policy

We're triggering the libs, not fighting trade war, cuck

Ayyy I have the same gpu. I don't even bother with the latest GOYSLOP, old games are better anyways. Still playing Skyrim and Witcher 3, with rimworld here and there

have rig that can 4k shit

unoptimised slop that really needs it looks better in 1080p

I got played and you don't need to worry about staying on older hardware.

Redditors believing they know anything about the economy is the funniest shit this decade.
