The RAM Situation
Monday, 12 January, 2026

Episode 2402026 is here and with it, some potentially dire news for video game hardware. As the RAM situation continues to deteriorate, the stage is set for massively increased gaming hardware prices. Today, we discuss the ramifications of the inflated RAM prices on PC and console hardware, and predict how the situation will unfold in the short and long term. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Monster Hunter Rise, Donkey Kong Bananza, Void Stranger). This episode was recorded in January 2026. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.Chat us up in Discord - discord.gg/JZCj5QnOr email us at gametalkpodcastofficial@gmail.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/369MuzfFy8RB6vFULVY7Zy?si=26cb1639927c4cc8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodcastGametalkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastgametalkTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastgametalkBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgametalk.bsky.socialTimestamps:0:00 - Opening Banter8:16 - Impacts of Inflated RAM Price30:08 - AI Discussion46:12 - Short and Long Term Effects of RAM Inflation54:28 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice1:03:13 - Monster Hunter Rise1:23:13 - Donkey Kong Bananza1:35:20 - Void Stranger
