Apparently there’s a hostage situation at Ubisoft Montreal? Hard to find concrete details but it’s being reported all over.

I was trying to follow it on Twitter, but several tweets were getting deleted, most of it was in French, and it was hard to find reputable non-Twitter reporting. None of this is to say that it isn't serious, but it has been difficult to follow and figure out what's happening at this time.

Damn, I have one of their competitors as a client for our search firm and I've talked to several of the employees at that ubisoft office trying to poach them for jobs.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

That sucks. When I got in it said 2 minutes wait, then almost immediately updated to more than an hour, which I figured was just a slow update.

What pisses me off more is a friend of mine has managed to get 3 of them on various sites. And I can't for the ****ing life of me even come close to sniffing one. Or a 3080, but that's another ****ing story. I think I'm at the same frustration level that you were yesterday with Walmart. These launches can all kiss my ass.

I sorta want to get kicked out of the queue so that I don't feel compelled to sit here all night.

I called it quits after that earlier bull haha, going to enjoy my night and hope my friend says "hey, you know what, how about I sell you one of my three" instead of being a dick and profiting off all of them.

OH MY GOD I GOT A 3080 WHAT THE ****!!!!!
Newegg had some combos left, comes with a mobo I don’t want but they let you return it you just lose the combo discount (only $20). I can’t believe it.

Grats man! You've been talking about upgrading for so long - happy to have held out and finally got the holy grail?
Which did you get?

Instead of playing Demon's Souls like I'd planned to since September, I'm playing The Messenger, a Ninja Gaiden clone that looks straight out of 1989. It's actually pretty good.

Nice my dude! I kind of gave up on the 3080, but I did get lucky and was able to get a 5600X on Amazon so...I guess I’m going to build a new computer? I’ll try for a 6800 XT next week, but I’m assuming it’ll be almost as rough as finding a 3080...

Apparently not yet? I've read that it goes into 16-bit mode at some point. I love the shop dude's chats.

Thanks all! I'm super happy, the 3080 should last me for a looong time. I ended up getting the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 3080.
Full build is:
Case: NZXT H710i
Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming (switched from B550 due to better overall reviews)
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X53 Liquid
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4x16) DDR4-3200
GPU: Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3080 10GB
I picked up a 1TB NVME SSD to go with my 320GB SSD and 8TB HDDs that I already have, and I'll use my EVGA 850w 80+ Gold fully modular PSU from my current build. Maybe went a bit overboard, but I'm stoked. I don't even want the RGB either, I just want white LEDs haha.
