KFC to blame

Drumroll · 28 Dec 2020 at 11:54

Not the one to post jokes, but considering such an awful/odd year we just had, I thought it's worthy the try:
Let's stop blaming scalpers and bots for the shortage of GPUs and CPUs. Clearly KFC is to blame:

350W minimum for GPU, let alone over locked CPU, we can all mod our PCs for a chicken warmer. And hope EK would offer a teflon grill instead Clear/POM for their blocks.

This has been popular on reddit, lots of memes in the gaming subreddits.

Still think this is one big joke/publicity stunt.
