@benis_redux s on the Gabecube 🎤 (you)

@splitshockvirus legitimate prices beget legitimate sales. They know what they're doing (offloading inventory before it becomes completely unsellable)

@splitshockvirus they're not going to make more with these components, I guarantee it.

@splitshockvirus I would also not be surprised if they offered some kind of bonus to buyers down the line, such as store credit or discount coupons

@benis_redux Should give gen 1 Steamdeck (me) owners a discount.

Should give btw users (me) a discount.

Because rn (rn) I'm just^tm going to buy a high refresh rate monitor and stream on geforce. Computer hardware doesn't make financial sense anymore. It never did tbh but it really doesn't now.

@splitshockvirus see that makes sense as a map "game" aficionado, not for anybody else though

@benis_redux Listen big dog, you're just running x86 processor code interfacing with DX12 or Vulkan API. The computer 🐝 :emoji: ing in the room or not doesn't make a difference... unless you got Africa Internet.

@splitshockvirus or a big sports game is on
or it's Saturday afternoon
or the back hoe caught its natural prey
or your family members are 🐗ging the banned width
etcetera

@benis_redux further reason why we just need to make our own internet smh

@splitshockvirus yes exactly

Imagine a network you're in full control of, populated with machines you can do anything with! Even put a local graphics accelerator in one, to serve high-quality content to any other machine on the network! Unfortunately we might be a ways off such futuristic fantasies, but it's nice to daydream once in a while.
