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).
Fuck the AI companies buying up all of the RAM. Maybe its time to get a new GPU for my wife while they are still somewhat affordable.
Shitty timing for the Gabe Cube launch to have all these market forces fucking with hardware prices. There's going to be some massive sticker shock when the price is announced.
