It will at least be extremely funny to watch all the right wing gamer bro chuds freak the fuck out when an immediate consequence of their actions will be that gaming pc components instantly inflate 50% in price.

Glad I already got my Steam Deck, fuck.

Bold of you to assune they won't just blame Dems because it isn't like reality matters.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 85 points 1 month ago

20 years into the trump dynasty dictatorship, they will still be saying "thanks Biden" to every financial inconvenience.

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago

They still blame Obama

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 month ago

I just said they would freak out.

Who they end up blaming is between them and their god emperor, I guess.

[-] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

God Emperor*. I had to correct you or it would go against my Trump Score (TM).

but but... Orange men said it was good for the economy, now I have to pay 2000 Dollars for a 5090? Why aren't they coming to America and produce here!?

Good luck spending 3000$+ on RTX 5090 graphics brick

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe we will finally get some optimised games.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 month ago

Ahhaha, good joke.

No the future is everything is more expensive and worse quality.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 27 points 1 month ago

Only without the cool tech :(

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

With the way gaming has been going, wtf are you people even upgrading for?

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

CHIPS Act? Never heard of it.

Its a pretty strategically and economically impactful piece of legislation pushed by, and then signed into law, by Biden, in 2022.

It basically sets up a bunch of tax incentives and funds to go toward building out domestic computer hardware research and manufacturing.

Its the kind of thing that would lay the foundation for the US building a lot more of its own computer hardware, instead of importing it.

So when the Trump tariff apocalypse hits... assuming the CHIPS Act does not get repealed, it will be the only saving grace in terms of possibly lowering computer hardware costs.

Trump and Republicans are likely to try and take credit for this, if domestic chip fabs start coming online before 2028, pretending it is something they came up with.

It’s a small price to pay to keep pronouns away from our games.

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

I don't think that goes far enough. We need to keep all nouns out!

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Grammar is too woke

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

yep! and by then it's too late. they've already shot themselves in the foot, they just haven't felt the pain yet.

edit - and honestly, if we were actually producing all this stuff locally and competitively, I would be OK with these chinese tariffs since it would encourage buying USA-made. The problem is that we arent, and probably won't be for a while. we'd all suffer in the meantime.

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 7 points 1 month ago

This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.

[-] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

I guess there will be many people thinking that, driving up demand->increasing prices before any tariffs even exist.

[-] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I really really hope that they will enact their economic agenda before their racist agenda. When they denaturalize and deport citizens, half of us will be cheering (unfortunately). When the price of electronics/ cars increases it distributes harm to all.

[-] Resonosity@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Fuck, I've been putting off getting a new laptop, but hell this is probably going to influence that decision.

Probably should get on it and buy it now ahead of day 1
