My PC is going to be 10 years old next year. If it dies before these prices go down I'm boned.
Anyway, bonus panel on Patreon!
Panel 1
Text box: 2016
Lester and Marla stand around looking at a PC with glowing inner components.
Lester: Holey smokes. You built this yourself?
Marla: Sure did!
Panel 2
Marla rests her head on her hands, looking at the PC proudly.
Marla: I couldn't afford the most cutting-edge components but by the time this thing's out of date I'm sure I'll be able to upgrade it.
Panel 3
Text box: 206
Marla desperately clutches her PC. In the background her monitors show news articles which say, "Sam Altman Bulldozes Orphanage to Build Data Center," and, "RAM Prices Skyrocket Again."
Marla: Just hold on for a couple more years, baby. That's all I ask. The bubble's gonna pop any day now. Then you can rest.
