We’ve hit a boiling point in the gaming world, and let me tell you, it’s a hot mess. This week, we’re diving into the absurdity of the upscaling gimmicks that the tech wizards keep throwing at us, and spoiler alert: raw power is what we really want, not more pixel-polishing nonsense. Seriously, can we just collectively agree that these AI upscalers are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine? Plus, we'll chat about how the annual release of new titles is less about innovation and more about choking the life out of creativity—stagnation is the name of the game, folks. From Razer’s nostalgia trip with their new mouse to the mind-bogglingly high RAM prices that are making PC building feel like a treasure hunt with zero treasure, we’ve got it all. So grab your drink, kick back, and let’s get to the bottom of this chaotic mess that we call gaming.

Takeaways:

• Upscaling technology in gaming is mostly a joke, and we just want raw power instead.
• AI companies are clueless, driving up RAM prices while gamers suffer from their stupidity.
• Nvidia's GPUs are becoming a consumer nightmare, leading me to question my next purchase.
