I don’t know when he’s starting the deal but I’d be prepared to take advantage when he’s ready to sell them.

Is this just for people who live in Canadia?

I may have to make a Twitter account now. Damn you Linus! Damn you!

hwo did he get enough to think about being a retailer when i cant get my hands on a single one?

life is weird :wink:

step 1: have 13 million Youtube sub channel and be a multi-million dollar entrepreneur
step 2: beats me

I wonder if maybe Linus’ connections from his NCIX days may have helped out here…

I’m pretty sure getting one of these is going to be just as hard as trying to get one elsewhere but I’m ready to roll the dice same as everyone else

Have you seen any more updates on this I have not but then again I don’t have Twitter

It might be a huge troll, April fools is coming soon so yea don’t get your hopes up.

Wouldn’t the 3090 be a better GPU anyway? that’s’ what I set my sights on, specifically the ROG STRIX card.

The first batch already came and went. It was announced in the middle of a video.

I don’t have time to keep up on social media and things like that so that just means I’m never going to get one until they’re readily available again. I’m on a OC 2080 currently so it’s not the end of the world.

You had to keep up with his social media, because he didn’t announced it publicly, you had to watch his typical videos and if you paid attention he would then tell you the link url

You then had to answer these questions

I didn’t do it but I believe if you failed the answers you lose your chance because others will try to get it at the speed of light

This was a great field test tbh because it prevents scalpers/botters swipe up a card, nor did Linus showed how it worked

Some of these questions were tricky like that question of “what game did mario first appear”, you would think of the game where you save peach at the 8th castle Super Mario Bros, but no it’s actually from this game, Mario Bros (1983)

Miners don’t have a clue what lore of games are, gamers do. Botters can’t make up a program in time to “cheat” their way out

I’d be gladly to buy a video card to support him

He wants to do AMD gpus and ryzen chips so if you want to try again you need to watch his videos daily

He shoulda chose some PC game lore though

like if you asked me about starfox stuff i would have failed.

Police Quest or Leisure Suit Larry? now we’re talkin.

I mean not everyone plays other PC games

Think of it more as a “gotta know it all to win it all” thing

It’s a PC part; it makes more sense for it to be about PC games. I just think more PC related games questions make more sense.
