Yesterday, while working on infrastructure updates that ultimately ended up taking _much longer_ than anticipated, I queued up some #ComputerChronicles episodes in honor of #StewartCheifet's recent passing (2025-12.)

One of the selected episodes was "The Ultimate Gamer's PC" (2001-06-05):

Extra gut punch around 19:11 when he interviews #GordonMahUng who passed away in late 2024-12:

Stewart got ~29 more years than Gordon.

I have to applaud #NVIDIA for pushing #DLSS and #RayTracing to the mainstream after 6 years.

Then, these technologies divided early-adopters with the mainstream. Today, these divide gamers between non-gamers.

People voted with their wallet. As #GordonMahUng (RIP) said, «You only care about #AMD to save on NVIDIA».

Fucking sad way to enter Christmas.

Good Bye Gordon Mah Ung. You will be missed.

If you want to support his family (USA Healthcare... you know), here is the link. They already reached their goal, but still.
