Is my progress...satisfactory?

Unsurprisingly, I'm still chugging away at my Satisfactory earth-saving mission.  Phase 9 of the project is a real doozy--tons of parts that not only require a lot of advanced manufacturing but also require extremely power hungry processes.  My dreams of building a secondary plutonium reactor turned into a necessity due to the increasing power demands.  My nuclear reactor zone is a radioactive nightmare--I keep a solid supply of iodine gas filters available.

I've reached a point with Satisfactory where I'm ready to move on to something else, but I just can't give up because I feel like I'm so close to the finish line.  I've got another game waiting in the wings (Terra Nil) but know that if I do move on, it's likely that I won't move back any time soon.  I'm also extremely excited for the release of Two Point Museum and am hoping to be done by the time it releases on March 4th.

On the hardware front, I've been watching news about the continued fiasco that is the RTX 5000 series launch.  The RTX 5070 Ti released earlier this week and it was a similar story as the releases of the 80/90's--low stock and ridiculously high prices.  Every big reviewer (your Linus's, Paul's, Gamers Nexus, Jay, etc.) basically said "do not buy this card at the current prices."  MSRP was supposed to be $750 but most cards are selling for $1000 or more.  NVIDIA has said that stock should increase in the upcoming months and that hopefully prices will drop.  March is creeping closer and that also means that AMD will be releasing their 9070 cards which should be interesting.  I really want to build a new PC this summer, but I don't want to pay the ridiculous prices that seem to be the standard right now.

I hope everyone is enjoying some gaming this weekend!
