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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If you think that's funny just wait for all the construction bros to discover that Milwaukee is now a Chinese company and their M18 HD12 batteries suddenly cost >500 a pop

And automotive guys figuring out a good chunk of their replacement parts are European.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Oh, that too. Most of these compact SUVs are built foreign because that's where they generate the most revenue. Imagine hitting a pheasant in your Chevy, a pheasant of all things, and getting a 10k insurance estimate because it cracked your made-in-Mexico integrated LED headlamp assembly and split your bumper cover

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Grammar is too woke

[–] [email protected] 110 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] -5 points 20 hours ago

Fuck the dems, too. Less people voted this election, than the last election. People didn't bother to go vote that should have.

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 20 hours ago

They still blame Obama

[–] [email protected] 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I just said they would freak out.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

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!?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

CHIPS Act? Never heard of it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago

Oh, the thing Trump called "so bad" on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can't trust it, but he did say it.

As it stands, CHIPS isn't going anywhere, so at least Americans won't be totally fucked.

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.

Good luck spending 3000$+ on RTX 5090 graphics brick

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe we will finally get some optimised games.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Ahhaha, good joke.

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago

Only without the cool tech :(
