I bought an RX 9070 since I'm expecting bad for PC parts (consoles too) for the next year and a half at least

I just struggle to be...into it anymore.

After the whole COVID thing, after all this other crap, now the ram, like I'm just not into this scarcity thing anymore. A lot of the games suck, everything's released pre-alpha, all this pre buy hype and then the delays just to build more hype.

I dunno, call me jaded, but I'm just kind of over it, and I'm struggling to enjoy these newer games as much. I mean dont get me wrong, I love games still, I love computers and tech still (obviously), but I've as of late have discovered that I've missed so much over the past decade or so. I've been having a hoot playing older stuff, and it's so much more enjoyable. Hence I'm not really caught in the hype as much anymore. My last build is about to hit 2 years old, and honestly it's probably riding the decade out at this point, if not even longer.

9060 XT, for the same reason. My GTX1060 is fine for what I'm I playing right now, but I guess I, too, am a victim of F.O.M.O. (Fear Of Massive Overpricing).
