The situation on RTX 50 launch day looks dire. It seems that the few people who manage to find the cards in stock online will either be powered by fast AI algorithms or simply lucky to be near retailer servers.

We previously reported on the RTX 50 launch day lottery in Japan. The country is known for such draws, which, in order to prevent scalping, give everyone in line an equal chance to purchase limited-supply products. Only those whose tickets are chosen will be allowed to buy the product. While it's hard to call that a win, at least some participants don't leave empty-handed.

According to Japanese media, one of the lotteries at PC Koubou, which started earlier (around 15:00 local time), ended in chaos. People were seen climbing over the fence of a nearby kindergarten, and screams were heard. There's also a photo of a destroyed kingergarten sign (added above). The lottery concluded before many attendees even arrived, leading to frustration and disorder at the venue.

The PC Koubou Parts Hall has started calling for entries for a lottery to purchase the RTX5090, but the situation is currently in chaos.

Angry shouts were heard, and some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door.

@sarasteam0151 (translation)

Swedish retailer Inet confirms there may not be any RTX 5090 stock at launch. It seems they are waiting for an update from their courier company. Even if any 5090 units arrive, the retailer expects them to sell out immediately. The 5080, on the other hand, should sell "quickly."

According to a Redditor who compiled a list of MicroCenter locations and their expected RTX 5090/5080 stock, only 233 RTX 5090 cards were distributed across all stores in the U.S. Similarly, only 2,393 RTX 5080 models were allocated. This is an extremely low number of cards for launch day, though it's important to note that we cannot verify the accuracy of this list.

However, Tustin, California, appears to be one of the few locations where lining up might make sense. The queue is already over 300 people long show messages shared on Reddit, meaning that if the numbers above are correct, the last people in line won't even have a chance to buy a card.

While it's great to see such high demand for new graphics cards, it's difficult to understand why NVIDIA did not prepare a larger stock for launch. The company was not forced to release the cards this early, and there is clearly a significant supply issue. Nothing would have changed if the launch had been delayed by a month, allowing board partners to build inventory. This way, customers wouldn't have to rely on luck, fast reflexes, or being prepared to camp outside stores.

Streamer Emiru threw a Lunar New Years Party so all the lonely s that watch her can pretend they have friends. At one point a newer streamer named itskatchii who was quite drunk does a "heart goes out to you". Emiru's mods have quietly tried to push it under the rug, but none can stop the weaponized autism that is terminally online streamer drama enjoyers.

worst i've ever seen it is it just edgier /r/politics now or something

indigenous woman who is also a vidya designer, on the "indigenous" section on CBC:

Neighbor why are "indigenous" and "aboriginal" activist foids always like the Whitest motherlovers on the planet?

When the video game Custer's Revenge first came out more than 30 years ago, a successful boycott eventually caused it to be pulled from store shelves The controversial video game, made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique (now defunct), depicts indigenous women tied to trees and cacti and r*ped.

When indigenous game designer Elizabeth LaPensée found out this game was again available for play online she took to Twitter to voice her outrage.

"The game reinforces systemic violence against native women," said LaPensée.

Daniel Starkey, a Chickashsha Nation game journ*list, was researching a story about Native American representation in games when he came across YouTube videos of Custer's Revenge. Starkey spoke with LaPensée about his find. The two of them were able to find several game-play footage videos on YouTube, but it wasn't until Starkey dug deeper that he actually found a playable link to a remade version of the game.

"I'm not in a position to go to that link, download it and play it. I don't know how far back that would put me in my personal healing," said LaPenśee from her home in Oregon. But Starkey did download the game to prove that it can be played.

"[It] made me sick to my stomach and brought me to tears," said Starkey. "I respect its right to exist, but it's almost impossible for me to figure out how anyone could consider the game of cultural value to anyone."

B-WORD THIS IS A FRICKING ATARI GAME FROM 1982

IT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTED WHEN IT CAME OUT

THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT DOESN'T EXISTS ANYMORE

THE DEVS WHO CREATED IT ARE IN THEIR 70S OR 80S IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE

ARE YOU GONNA CALL FOR THE BOYCOTT OF SALÒ AND ERASERHEAD NEXT?

LaPensée is a former game journ*list turned game designer. Until now, LaPensée had not spoken out against violence against women in video games. The gaming industry has come under fire for its sexual harassment against women and female game designers and journ*lists have had their safety and lives threatened.

LaPensée said she has stayed quiet for this very reason.

"If anyone were to attack me in that way, I just don't have the allies in the game industry who would help protect me and look out for me, I have the native community too," said LaPensée.

For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic.

• Elizabeth LaPensée, video game designer

LaPensée, who designs games that promote indigenous heritage and healing, said her decision to speak out now is based on her career's work.

"This has been my whole life's work, starting off as a g*mer and then looking at native representation in video games. And finding the places that we can step up, and step in and define our representations ourselves," said LaPensée.

"For me stepping out isn't just about the game industry, it's about personal experiences and having to be the voice of someone who is part of a statistic, that a game like this is reinforcing what creates that statistic."

In the last 24 hours, since LaPensée`s initial tweet and the follow-up Twitter conversation, several videos of game-play footage have been taken down. Starkey added the footage violates YouTube's terms of service by containing explicit content and uncensored nudity.

LaPensée said that even though a game like this exists, the indigenous community can change the narrative by replacing the content with positive messages.

"We can make games too. We're completely capable of it. The cowtools are much more accessible, the technology is much more accessible than it used to be," said LaPensée, adding a lot of her work is responding to a game like this.

Holy fricking shit, imagine sperging out about a game that was 31 years old (now 41) by the time this article was written, this is even more pathetic than the Brapzilian Pentecostal TV channel in 2011 sperging out against Duke Nukem 3D , this is like if Jack Thompson came back from the shadows and started to shit on Doom and Doom 2 30 years later

So peep this. I wake up one day with a smile on my face. I ready to GOON hard and hustle COOMpacks to my homies off the street. Gay, straight, all genders and nationalities, I don't discriminate when it comes to selling legal and illegal COOM to those in need.

I was try to watch a LIVE CAMGIRL SQUIRTING HARD PULSATING CLITORIS and the stream went off! Shit sucks yo, but I was EDGING like mofo and I held in my COOM. I tried to browse pornhub and all my favourite videos were GONE! I researched and found out that FEDs are trying to shut this shit down.

Nah fam PornHub don't die that's Town Square for gooners. We use VPNs round here AND we got our shit downloaded fam.

I dug deeper into this shit and I discovered that the Latter Day Gooner Cult is behind some of this shit. They claim to be about that GOON life but it's clear they're trying to restrict GOONING talmbout "holy GOON sacraments". Nah I GOON when I want. Which set you rep?

Sheeit, I was reading up and it turns out this schism in the GOONING community has been going on for eons. All throughout the years, there has been tension between the younger GOONERS who are trying to GOON fast and hard, and the older gooners striving for a subtler, but longer-lasting goon experience. Me? I stay with them young bucks. I goon too wild to be shackled by coom calendars and shit. I believe my set GOONs the hardest.

So yeah, the gang war has begun and we goon on cultists all day every day on site. A lot of GOONERS are gonna CATCH CASES, SSDs CONFISCATED, and INTERNET ACCESS RESTRICTED by FEDs while on probation.

At his annual Super Bowl news conference Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell strongly supported the league's policies designed to promote diversity at the club-employment level and said they would continue.

But during Super Bowl LIX, and with President Donald Trump apparently planning to attend on Sunday, the NFL might be making another kind of statement on the Caesars Superdome field itself. According to two league sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions, league officials recently changed one of the slogans expected to be stenciled in the back of an end zone from "End Racism" to "Choose Love."

The game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will mark the first time since February 2021 that "End Racism" is not included as a message in the back of a Super Bowl end zone.

The switch, conveyed internally to high-level employees earlier this week, could be perceived as a nod to the current political climate. Following the lead of Trump, who was inaugurated last month, many corporations and institutions are abandoning their diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Goodell did not follow suit when asked about the league's policies on Monday, saying he was "proud" of the league's diversity efforts.

"We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League," Goodell said. "And we're going to continue those efforts, because we've not only convinced ourselves we've proven it to ourselves — it does make the NFL better."

!bookworms last week GRRM wrote an update on the new HBO schlock adaptation of his Dunk & Egg novellas.

Did I just read the words "Finish" and "Winds" in the same sentence? Am I dreaming? George? Are you promising me personally that WINDS OF WINTER will be complete by end of fiscal year 2025? In time for the holidays? Did you say that? I'm just going to go around believing that now.

OMG, A TWOW MENTION

I can feel some new year optimism from George. I'm super excited for the Dunk and Egg adaptation, it looks good.

THIS TIME FOR REAL GUYS

No. The super-cynical posture some people take here that he's not working on it at all, is some kind of fraud, etc. is just a perverse form of copium. It's just a way for people to not get their hopes up. It's pretty obvious that he's trying to get it done but he's slow, it's hard, and he has a lot of other things going on. But it's pretty obvious that he's been working on it and probably has a ton of material at this point. What that means about him being close to an actual release date or anything like that is less clear.

OP Q&N

Q: Did you steal some info from

A: Yes

Just saying, I was 6 years old when I discovered pornography on our family's shared computer through the search history. I guarantee your kids are more tech savvy than you think they are. If they can read, they can look up search history. If he's watching porn on your kids' tablet, there's a high likelihood they've been exposed to something already.
