not just ram either…ssd prices are already going up cuz of nand supply shortages, gpus will only keep getting more and more fucked, essentially THREE of the most vital components for anyone building a pc for the first time are already expensive enough to price people out. i remember building a 1080p powerhouse for barely $600 back in 2017/18 and i paid more than that for my 4070 alone last year, and this was BEFORE everything got so much worse 😪

If you think that’s bad, you should see how our healthcare system works 💀

I’m just holding out hope that spintronics will make RAM hella affordable once again.

Unfortunately both pc and console have went to crap lately. It’s like if I was going to spend 1k on a console might as well just buy a pc. On the other hand. 1k for a pc isn’t really worth spending 1k on to play games.

I’m sure the construction of all these new data centers isn’t helping either…

Sadly Prices won't stabilize for years, and probably won't be at the same low prices they used to. Theirs a good chance companies wanna monopolize memory and storage as a service instead of letting u own it
