Haven't been that active in the PC world for a few years now. Who's still around, what's new, pretty much anything I guess? I've popped in once or twice over the last while but nothing serious.

Last computer I built was Covid time Jan 2021. I mostly stopped gaming about 2 years ago just to try to get my life back on track after a bunch of different things and developing a mmo addiction in 2021-2023. Just play games on my phone mostly now as y PC gets dusty sitting in a corner with no internet hooked up even.

Reddit and discord definitely replaced (for the most part) forums like this one for me. There is something I still love about the way forums keep information a bit more "static" compared to the chaos of live chat in discord or fast cycle of reddit posts.

Been surprised how resilient work was in 2025 with all the crazy changes to the global economy happening. The reality of the last year was work was solid and just as good as the year before.
 
Computer wise...

AI workloads have caused GPU prices to raise even more, ram even more so and even some SSDs and HDDs into oblivion. Ram kits some of them litterally 4x more expensive than they would have been in september.

Lots of issues with the new GPU power connector due to design tolerances being way to tight compared to the real world.

NewEgg / EK exposed for scamming people and generally not being upstanding companies.
 
Do you like repetition. Because what's new is everyone saying "AI" every second word.

Honestly the worst time for the hobby, worse than the mining craze, worse than covid.

On the upside AMD makes great CPUs again and cases are better.
