I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.
50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.
Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

I dunno, as far as I'm concerned, that was pretty good advice for most of the shortage
Especially if you hadn't upgraded to a 4K monitor -- my GTX970 was punching above its weight until the end of last year, honestly, but even a used one was still going for 400 bucks..
They were not telling people to not buy anything. They were continuing to review horribly overpriced cards pretty much as normal, with a small "well yeah prices suck but new card go brrr!" disclaimer. I don't think they should have been publishing numbers at all, the cards didn't deserve the attention given the situation.
They would have gained a hell of a lot of respect had they been willing to do that, but no one (including nexus jesus game stever) was willing to go that far.
Fair enough. I feel like Ars Technica, which is my main source on reviews, fell into "look, we're publishing these in case your card died, but these are just Not Worth It" pretty early on in the shortage
Ars' content got super mixed many years ago and I cut them out, felt like they were leaning into too much off topic stuff for sake of traffic. And I wasn't suuuuper confident in how they were doing reviews, from what I recall. This was well before the pandemic, no idea how things have done since then.
