I am 95% sure my video card is on its way to dying. I've had a few major crashes in the past few days that... how they happened directly points to my old GTX 760 finally getting close to death. Though its still working ok at the moment and I did dust my computer pretty well I think last night too...

Anyway, I ordered a GTX 1650 because it was the best option I could find that is an upgrade for under $400... honestly that's normally even 50% above my usual video card budget, but due to prices there was absolutely no way I could get anything worthy of gaming for under the usual $300 I've always done for video cards. Stupid chip shortage. The only problem is I am going to have to wait until the end of Feb to get my new video card.

But because of this chip shortage we've entered a time of technological stagnation and even possibly regression that I've never seen in my life time and I don't think has ever happened before. I am lucky enough to own a PS5, but because of things, the PS4 hasn't been circulated out of production yet and new games are still being made for it where as, in every previous console generation, the PS4 would long since be old news by now.
