GTA 7 Will Send 1 Billion People To Early Retirement

Ah, the classic GPU buyer's trauma in its natural habitat! Just bought that shiny RTX card with 12GB of VRAM? Congratulations, you've activated NVIDIA's trap card! Nothing triggers buyer's remorse quite like watching them announce a better version for the same price exactly 0.4 milliseconds after your purchase clears. It's almost as if Jensen Huang has a surveillance camera pointed at your "Complete Order" button. The GPU market isn't a technology sector - it's a psychological warfare experiment where we're all the lab rats.

Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of Americans flaunting their Micro Center privileges! 😤 European developers and gamers are over here SUFFERING in a tech desert while Americans casually stroll into Micro Center for 80% OFF GAMING PCs?! The sheer INJUSTICE! Europeans are giving that death stare that says "I had to pay TRIPLE for my RTX card and wait 6 months for shipping." It's like watching someone eat a gourmet meal while you're forced to code on a potato. European devs are literally DYING of tech envy right now. The transatlantic hardware inequality is TOO MUCH TO BEAR! 💔

The double whammy of tech obsolescence. First panel: Microsoft announcing Windows 10 EOL (End of Life) in October? Meh, whatever. Second panel: Steam potentially killing game compatibility on Windows 10 just like they did with Windows 7? Now you have my attention! It's the classic tech cycle - not the official EOL that forces upgrades, but when your games stop working. Twenty years in the industry and the only constant is companies finding new ways to make your perfectly functional setup obsolete. Death, taxes, and forced OS upgrades - the holy trinity of inevitable pain.

The duality of a developer's existence laid bare. Spend 8 hours hunched over a keyboard like a gargoyle with deteriorating posture, complaining about back pain and needing a standing desk requisition form... then somehow manage to sit perfectly still for a 12-hour gaming marathon without a single bathroom break. The human body is remarkably selective about what activities it considers "painful." It's almost like our spines have a special agreement with Steam: "Oh, this isn't work? Carry on then!"

Ah, the beautiful delusion of aspiring game developers on Reddit. A collage of clueless questions from people who think making the next Fortnite is just a weekend project away. After 15 years in the industry, I can confirm these are the same questions we've seen since the dawn of time: "What laptop should I buy?" (As if hardware is the barrier), "Should I quit my job?" (Yes, because indie game dev pays so well), and my personal favorite: "I'm making an MMO on the blockchain" (Translation: I have no idea what I'm doing but buzzwords sound cool). The harsh reality? The difference between asking "How do I learn game development?" and shipping a game is roughly 10,000 hours of soul-crushing work. But sure, a pacifier and a dream is all you need.

The code is a perfect example of why game developers shouldn't be allowed near RNGs unsupervised! 😂 What we're looking at is a glorious mess of Python where someone created two nearly identical functions ( count_greater_than_11 and count_greater_than_5 ) that generate random numbers between 1-20 and increment a counter when the number exceeds a threshold. But wait! The function names and comments don't even match - one says "greater than 11" in the comment but checks for > 10 in the code, while the other claims to check for > 5 but actually checks for > 4! And then there's that lonely is_divisible_by_7 function at the bottom, just hanging out with no apparent connection to anything else. It's like someone started implementing their own version of RNG bias with specific magic numbers, got bored halfway through, and shipped it anyway. This is probably why that boss battle feels unfairly difficult every 7th attempt...
