      You’re sitting on a gold mine - first DDR6/HBM, then DDR5, then DDR4 got expensive. If trends continue, somewhere around 2028 you’ll be able to sell that desoldered 128KB of SNES RAM for a fortune.

        Hoping DDR3 prices go up so I can finally sell the 128 GB of RAM I have been saving “just in case” lol

    Don’t forget storage prices now too and not just NVMe drives. I can’t wait for this AI hoarding to finally fucking crash. It’s like the mining shit we had with GPUs in steroids. Ugh.

    You don’t have to play current gen AAA games. They are crazy expensive anyway.
