Doesn't look like RAM is getting any cheaper for the next several years 😮‍💨, so I decided to upgrade my current CPU (8yo Core i9 9900k) to a "newly" re-released 4yo CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X3D Anniversary Edition) (stealing my GF's AM4 mobo & giving her my current system). Long live the DDR4 I already own! 😑

Going to watch the Thai space lesbian film since they're going to rescreen it in theaters soon.
