    Alternating personal joy and absolute terror at the US government.

    I got a GPU! (9070 XT), holy crap stable 4k 60+ FPS WITH raytracing 😱

    Extremely nervous about my future. Applied for DRP (deferred resignation plan, google it), waiting to find out if its approved so i can move on with my life and have time to skill up and find a new job. I’m willing to dip into retirement (hah! Like that was ever going to happen anyway) to take the penalty for breaking my lease to GTFO at this point, feels like I’m trapped where i am and i hate it.

      Wow, that’s a beast of a card! And here was me still feeling pleased with my 6600 XT I got a few years ago… 😶

      Hope the employment situation works out OK.
