I feel sorry for makers like Zotac, they specialize on GPUs. This AI induced shortage could really affect them. #gaming

Almost every time I jump into Halo Infinite, I see this player called “I HAT3 MCROSOFT.” I don’t play that often, but they seem to be on all the time. It’s kind of hilarious that someone who feels that strongly about Microslop spends so much time playing a Microslop game. #gaming
