I’m kind of sick of being into tech. Everything is riddled with ads and speculative investment. You have to manage your expectations so much because everything has a good likelihood of turning into garbage at a moments notice. It’s just not fun anymore. I know I’m probably a bit nostalgia blinded, but I miss the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s so much. Games were new and interesting, tech was moving at a lightning fast pace, things were fun.

I know it’s more complicated than that, and there are reasons things are how they are, but fuck man. Anyway, off my chest.

    All the tech is now a service and users are constantly getting the rug pulled out from under their feet with changes to terms of service, availability, privacy, and cost. It’s a shit show.

      Computers are fucking dope though

      I built my first computer in the early 00s. It was shit in a couple years

      My current machine has a bunch of SSD space and a 9900k, with a four year old video card. It plays all the newest games perfectly.

      Lot has got to shit but I love my computer so much.

      I think that we’ve hit a wall in terms of major technological advancements for now, and since we can’t make substantially better graphics or sound or overall usability the only avenue left to exploit is software.
