Her Build Size Is Larger Than A Default Unreal Project

The eternal dilemma of PC gaming economics: your hardware is simultaneously ancient and too expensive to utilize properly. By the time game prices drop to reasonable levels, your "new" rig has already transformed into a digital fossil. It's like saving up for years to buy a Ferrari only to discover you can only afford the gas when electric cars become mainstream. The hardware-software value curve is the cruelest joke in computing—a mathematical proof that the universe has a sick sense of humor.

Valve's business strategy in a nutshell. For those uninitiated, "Gaben" refers to Gabe Newell, the founder of Valve Corporation—makers of Steam, Half-Life, and collectors of your wallet's contents. The genius move? Announce shiny new products to distract everyone from the fact that you're sailing away on a mega-yacht purchased with Steam's 30% cut of every game sale. Meanwhile, Half-Life 3 remains in the same dimension as affordable housing in San Francisco—purely theoretical.

Ah yes, the illusion of choice in our digital libraries. Spending half an hour scrolling through a Steam collection that would take three lifetimes to complete, only to launch Counter-Strike for the 5,783rd time. It's like having a fridge full of groceries and still ordering takeout. The McDonald's clown face-plant perfectly captures that moment of self-awareness when you realize you've wasted time browsing games you'll never play instead of just admitting you wanted to play the same comfort game all along. Peak decision paralysis with a side of self-deception.

OMG, someone actually created a programming language to write code for Scratch - you know, that block-based programming tool designed for CHILDREN! 💀 The absolute AUDACITY of creating a text-based compiler with Rust that outputs to Scratch! It's like building a rocket ship to drive to your mailbox! They even had the nerve to add GitHub Copilot support and error detection like it's some kind of serious development environment! Just look at that gorgeous code at the bottom - writing actual text to generate those cute little colorful blocks with the cat mascot. It's the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame! I'm DYING! 😭

The eternal dilemma of our time: spend $2,000 on the latest RTX 4090 graphics card that'll be obsolete in 18 months, or invest in 1,342 pieces of garlic bread that will bring immediate joy and carb-induced euphoria? Tough choice for any dev working on rendering engines from home. The bread won't help you run Cyberpunk at max settings, but it also won't make your electricity bill rival the GDP of a small nation. Plus, garlic bread has never required a driver update or crashed during a deadline.

The evolution of gamer expectations is brutal. In 1997, blocky polygons had us gasping in awe like we'd seen the face of God. By 2013, we're complaining about "pixelated" graphics that would've melted our 90s brains. Fast forward to 2020, and we're cursing our $2000 rigs for struggling with photorealistic landscapes that NASA couldn't have rendered 10 years ago. It's the tech equivalent of kids today not understanding why we were excited about 56k modems. "What do you mean you had to WAIT for images to load? Like, more than 0.001 seconds?" Meanwhile, developers are in the corner having nervous breakdowns trying to render individual pores on NPCs that players will rocket-launch into oblivion anyway.
