This week I have been mostly playing The Witcher 3 Some luddite ripped the fibre optic cabling out of my house recently which has left me bereft of interwebs, with only next-gen Geralt for company. new generation of gaming laptops (opens in new tab), which launched with a raft of $4,000+ machines, and a gaming keyboard industry where if your new keeb doesn't come with hot-swappable switches, lube, and a $300 price tag you're a fool. There are signs this is happening on the consumer side with people holding on to their money, but so far no counterbalancing response from the hardware manufacturers aimed at cutting the punitive sticker prices
