This is all on the manufacturer. AMD often does this, gets themselves a whole lot of press, to release like 10 units to the public. Then they bask in all the, “people are fighting to get it” press. Look at what they did with those 7900XTX cards, like they pretty much pushed me right onto nvidia’s lap. I’ll never be able to wrap my head around this strategy, why they think it’s a winner. It’s great that you have a good chip, but if most can’t get it, then what do you expect your sales to be like? I mean I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve queued for a computer chip, because it’s zero.

Ah yes the NVIDIA/AMD/Sony/Nintendo/Whateverotherconglomeratedouchebagcompany at it again. I’m done building PCs and fighting for playstations, I’m so tired of this crap. My 5800x3d (that I got on sale) is seeing me to the apocalypse.

What in the wide world of fuck is the Lemmy Tagginator, and more importantly, why?

Edit: is this something we need here? I’m not sure it is.

I’m not. I’ll just wait for the playoffs, as the regular season is next to pointless, and the rules all change in the playoffs. So it’s pretty much meaningless, other than making the playoffs. If I was an NHL GM, especially a Canadian one, that would be my prime focus. Just do well enough to make it, and find a way to stash a whole bunch of studs on the IR, until just before the playoffs. And be way over cap.
