State of Things April 2021
🕑 Added 2021-04-21 22:45:09 +0000 UTCFirst, I'm working on third character of the month. It's more difficult than I initially thought, but for now I think I can handle it. I'm also busier than usual this month so that slow things down as well. We still have around a week or so and I think I can release the third character before that. Assuming there's no unexpected problem, like this particular technical one that worries me recently.
You see, my graphics card is old (my PC is potato in that regard) and in last few days it spin up its fans full blast then stop in random occasion, even when I don't do anything much. I hope it's not sign of failing hardware as you probably know now is not the best time to shop for PC component especially graphics card. Here in my country a supposedly mid-low end one like RTX 3060 can reach up to $1000, it's insane. I'm saying this not because I want to make crowdfunding or anything, just in case you don't hear anything from me for a while, a technical issue like that can be the culprit.
Lastly the poll will come soon, there will be new characters on it so look forward to it. And thank you for participating in the next-gen shader poll. I'm still experimenting on it, even though it will burden my graphics card even further, but it is what it is.

Mine is an old RX 580. I don't mind used, but in this situation buying from individual is kinda dangerous since something in high demand will attract scammers.

Cause of Bitcoin price, GPU price is ridiculous.

Crypto miners and Scalpers are to blame for high price of gpus. New pc builds I seen online don’t even have a graphics card. Even the GeForce 10 series is out to the question $1000 for a new GTX 1080. Though what GPU do you have, are you willing to buy used?
