Nice art!

I feel you. I’ve played video games almost all my life, but during a period of unemployment last year, I had to sell my PS5 and Switch (which I got during much better times) to pay a winter power bill. And consoles have only gotten more expensive since then, thanks to AI data centers monopolizing digital components. I did find a new job, but I’m making less money than ever, and can’t save, I’m paycheck-to-paycheck. As for my PC, it’s a mid-range Win10 laptop from 2016 that’s barely holding on, it can’t upgrade to Win11 and can only run the simplest games.

So I’m now mostly priced out of a lifelong hobby. Can’t play GTA6. No idea when I’ll be able to play big new games again.

by god if I could have a hundred hotdogs at the ready every day, safe to eat and tasty, I’d do it and so would you
