i told my mom about my backup career plan (simply become a successful independent artist working in a medium I've never worked in significantly before) if the kleptocapitalists who are ripping the figurative copper out of the walls manage to crash the video games industry hard enough that i have to consider regular programming as a backup plan which they're also working around the clock to wall off, and she didn't try to talk me out of it lol

@aeva just think of all the overpowered GPUs you'll get to play with if the whole thing crashes.

Like, sure, you'll have to figure out how to offload rendering sub-tasks onto a machine in a remote data center. But that machine will be *amazing*

@areactis @aeva I hope there will be a flood of cheap GPUs and RAM available when the bubble bursts. Anyone could make better use of it than the slop megacorps hoarding them now.
