Man I felt stupid buying a 5090 at $2700. Little did I know how bad it was going to get.
lol, that’s not MSRP
but what a STEAL if that price was posted today
I never said it was msrp. I even said I felt kind of stupid paying the mark up. It was shortly after they came out and microcenter had one over clocked Zotac card. So I said fuck. I’ve wanted a 90 series card since they came out just didn’t realize that when I’d be able to afford it it would be the worst price / performance ever offered from Nvidia lol

What’s the rule? “Don’t automatically attribute to malice what can be easily explained by stupidity”
Yes! Hanlon’s razor. Although corporations tend to throw in a little evil for fun, as well.
Sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.
I’d be done with new games. Time to bust out the N64 and SNES, fire up some rom hacks on my everdrive.
