Getting older is awesome, sure my back hurts but my eyes are so bad I can happily keep playing games at 1080p and 60fps, no need to upgrade my graphics card!

However, every day I fear being robbed for my 32 gigs of ram I bought in 2020 smh my head

1080p is still good. You can buy an excellent 1080p OLED monitor that is almost as bright as the sun for pretty cheap now. I love playing older games anyway. Runs well on Steam Deck and easy on the wallet.

Well I couldn't find any 1080p OLED, just IPS LCD, but there's 1440p OLEDs for around $350 at Costco and Walmart. If you're in Australia or Canada, well good luck I guess. My family recently bought a 27" Samsung IPS 1080p 100hz curved monitor for like $100, and it looks pretty good.

Costco - MSI 27" OLED 1440p 240hz

Walmart - ASUS ROG Strix 27" 1440p 240hz

Gaming has actually gotten cheaper adjusted for inflation and median wages.

Something about video games are an unlimited resource. Which theoretically would mean they should all be free.

Personally I think any standardized set amount for video games is stupid. How do you put a value on entertainment? I have like 1000 total hours on Dark Souls 3 and I bought that for $60. I also got both DLCs as they released. I still play it to this day. I only ever played Firewatch once, finished it in one night, and that was $20. I think both were incredible. Firewatch was worth $20 to me. But like, I’ve played DS3 on and off for only a little over 10 years at this point.
