Same, I'm due to upgrade my processor and motherboard (still running a 2500k), but I'm gonna roll with my 980 for another year or two.

I bought a barely-used 1080 right after they came out for like $500 on Craigslist. Now I see that they're going for like $1,000! That's absolutely insane. Crypto is bad on so many levels.

If a 1080 is a grand, it means prices are coming down. They were 1600+ in January when I was planning for my tax refund.

Stasis rifle + knife the best tools in the game. :yooge:


I added a few reinforcements. Costs 6 titanium + 2 lithium iirc, for +7. I used zero foundations. You don't need them.

edit : oh and I put my stasis rifle, a mk3 seamoth depth mod, and a beacon in my time capsule. If someone gets that early game they should be happy as poo poo.

I just read up on time capsules, and that is a cool as gently caress feature that I've never seen in any other game.
Then I remembered stumbling across one of those things quite a while ago, but I don't recall what was in it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't game-changing at all. I probably would have taken note if I'd known the background of the mechanic.

The funny thing is it's not the big mining warehouses driving up the price of GPUs, they use expensive specialty ASICs that are both extremely efficient power wise and absolutely worthless for anything but buttcoin mining, in order to maximize their profit. The reason card prices are spiking is because of the retards who buy a pile of GPUs and build an old style buttcoin rig with 6 GPUs. The GPUs pull way more power for less work, but since they don't cost tens of thousands of dollars, idiots can buy them to burn up for funny money.

So does that mean GPUs become cheap again if/when the price crashes, and people sell off all their gear?

I remember when processors used to be made out of gold.

A friend melted one down and made a ring out of it.

But gold bugs do make the price of gold higher than it should be, making it too expensive for some uses in industry and science.

I thought it was war crime, divorced multiple times, tried to kill yourself via alcoholism, married an off base sex worker.

And you had to be at least 2 out of 4.

But I’m not up with the latest, I only read the games thread and stopped keeping up with the chat threads.
