That's just insane.  Remember when Crypto and Graphics card increases were a thing? lol

Remember? I'm trying to forget, lol. These tech bro CEOs won't let me.

I was saving up for a graphics card and I think I might pull the trigger on a 9060XT 16GB card because the prices are about to jump there again, too, due to this RAM price hike. Sad state of affairs for the PC gaming community.

@CreepinDeth That is crazy. Holy crap... even my laptop memory is triple the price.  I bought the Strix Scar Asus ROG and put in 64GB of memory.   That was $220 in September 2025.   Now it's showing as $599.

Here's the crypto crash topic:

Thankfully, I am not in the market for building a computer.  Also thankfully... I have my new laptop...

Loved it despite the cheesy teenie drama.

I'm thrilled they're still expanding upon the Karate Kid universe (odd typing that out loud, guess anything can be made into a universe) - Karate Kid Legends was a fun watch as well.

Let me know how JellyFin works out for you. I've been looking for a similar solution and would love to hear about it.

Okay I went cyber. I pulled the trigger on a Hyperkin RetroN GX. The price was $68.69, going price $99. It is Hyperkin's new clone console that is supposed to be for Turbo Grafx 16 and PC Engine HuCards. You know me, a review will be forthcoming.

Advance Wars did get a lot of play but my kids didn't get into it so as far as playtime wise something Mario won out.

it's impossible if you play it like a normal tactics game. Somehow they've managed to incorporate run and gun into tactics, a mix I didn't ask for and haven't had much success with.

Loaded question - there's a lot

Sirius XM - I usually bounce between Liquid Metal, Octane, Turbo, Lithium, and to a lesser extent Ozzy's boneyard, Classis Rewind and Classic Vinyl.

Stand outs - the resurgence in NUmetal (not sure how I feel about that label) had me dust off stuff like Korn, Static X, Adema, etc. as well as Limp Bizkit. newer bands like Starset, Sleep Token, Spiritbox, DED

Metal wise I still really like Lamb of God and play them often and have recently been turned on to Slaughter to Prevail.

Christmas gets me nostalgic so a lot of 80s hair bands as well as the synthy poppy stuff gets mixed in, especially during retro gaming sessions.

And I'm almost a year late but I just found this outlaw country / rock banger by Dorothy called Tombstone town... its got Slash on guitar, kinda awesome.
