Game Prices In 2025 Be Like

The code shows a variable named ps for a ParticleSystem . Above it are ASCII art comments that look suspiciously like the PlayStation logo. Some developer couldn't resist the urge to add this Easter egg when they saw "PS" – because apparently professional codebases need more corporate logos drawn in ASCII. Management probably thinks this increases shareholder value.

That thin blue sliver of productivity is feeling a bit generous today. Nothing says "I'm totally making progress on my game" like spending 8 hours researching the perfect shade of blue for a button nobody will click. Meanwhile, Twitter scrolling has officially become a "market research" expense on my tax forms. The best part? That character on the right is all of us pretending we're not procrastinating when someone asks how the game development is going. "Oh yeah, just finalizing some... uh... physics calculations."

Computer scientists: "Let's discuss if this system can solve any computable problem!" Me, a practical developer: "Cool theory bro, but can it run Doom?" The "Can it run Doom?" test has become the unofficial benchmark for computing devices since the 90s. Forget your fancy theoretical computer science - if your toaster, calculator, or pregnancy test can run a demon-slaying game from 1993, that's when you've truly made it in tech.

Remember when we used to brag about our rigs running Crysis? Fast forward to 2025, and we're still using poorly optimized games as hardware benchmarks. Borderlands 4 is the new "but can it run Crysis?" — the question that separates the budget builds from the second-mortgage-required setups. The circle of tech life continues: developers release unoptimized code, hardware manufacturers rejoice, and our wallets quietly weep in the corner. Some traditions never die, they just get more expensive texture packs.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern gaming! 😱 First she's all "8GB VRAM is not enough" and he's nodding along like the supportive boyfriend he thinks he is. Then she demands he say it back to prove his loyalty to the cause! And what does this TRAITOR do? Introduces the RTX 5060 with—wait for it—THE EXACT SAME 8GB VRAM! The BETRAYAL! The AUDACITY! It's like showing up to a water fight with a squirt gun when everyone else brought super soakers. NVIDIA out here gaslighting gamers into thinking 8GB is still acceptable in 2023 while modern games are crying in the corner begging for more memory. The relationship is DOOMED.

Finally, a VR headset where you can't see Half-Life 3 not existing. Valve's strategy is brilliant - build hardware to distract us from the games they'll never finish. It's like putting on noise-cancelling headphones so you can't hear the community begging for sequels. Truly innovative.
