it's wild that apparently a 120GB SSD can be bought for 20€ now

@noiob reminder that i paid 70€ for a cheap 240GB SSD at the beginning of this year

and you can get 512GB for that exact same price less than a year later. :(

@MochiWaifu yeah
RAM and graphics cards seem to be finally getting cheaper too

@noiob yeah, RAM is... well, not cheap, but affordable i guess!

@MochiWaifu have you seen the 80€ RYZEN yet? That thing begs to be built into the most budget gaming computer

@noiob that's a bit too low end imo :p
i really wanna build my dad a new computer with a ryzen 2200g tho. you can get like cpu mobo and 8gb for... around 300€? it's nothing

@MochiWaifu yeah but it actually runs video games, like, playably (at potato graphics and with some tweaks) youtube.com/watch?v=iX9fuV7pSq

@MochiWaifu it's relevant to my interests because I'm currently trying to tickle the most [Overwatch] performance out of one of those Dell Optiplex prebuilts

@noiob yeah the apus are a huge step up from what we used to have back in the day

@trwnh @noiob Yeah the 2011 tsunami should be long past, and only really affected HDDs afaik?

@noiob i managed to swipe a 400GB micro SD card for $100 the other day

storage prices are so much nicer than even just a year ago
