A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

If any of my lead-level narrative designer pals are up for moving to Boston, my old job is open! It's a lovely team and a very cool project! (And it's not open due to churn but due to my replacement getting promoted and the narrative team expanding!)

the 50 series was a paper launch from the beginning, barely any cards were shipped and those were scalped immediately. Nvidia has a big conflict of interest because they can sell their chips for much more profit in professional AI cards
I second the 9070XT comment, it might actually be worth a shot.
