I think it might actually, the Chinese consumer ram market just dropped by 20% recently, hopefully that percolates elsewhere as well. Most articles are saying it’s a combo of data centers being canceled/delayed and large companies like OpenAI not following through on bullshit statements they’ve made like “buying 40% of the world’s available ram”

This is my exact pattern with Renaissance Faires

Another big issue imo was the fact that the boost was found a couple months before the tournament and they asked other teams/streamers to not use it on stream until after the tournament, which just feels scummy all around

These are incredible, thank you for sharing!

That’s what evil mode is for

I’ve used metacritic for years, it’s much better in my opinion

Halfing bard here. Turns out my version of high fantasy is being a silly little guy with a flute and a garden
