How To Attain Enlightenment?

Ah, the eternal graveyard of half-finished projects. That last panel perfectly captures the existential rage when someone suggests you actually complete something instead of starting yet another shiny new endeavor. The audacity of suggesting we confront our digital skeletons! Making a game or learning SQL? Those are just future abandoned projects waiting to happen. But finishing what we started? That's the real horror story. The developer's GitHub is basically a cemetery of repositories last updated 3 years ago with commit messages like "initial commit" and "will finish tomorrow."

Ah, the classic gaming paradox! You've got hardware that could probably launch a spacecraft to Mars: 128-core CPU, RTX 4090 with 24GB VRAM, 256GB of RAM, and an 8TB NVME SSD that could store the entire Library of Congress. And what does Unreal Engine 5 do with all this computational might? Struggle to hit 25 FPS in a menu screen . It's like buying a Formula 1 car and using it exclusively to pick up groceries at 5mph. Those fancy ray-tracing acronyms (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) are just there to make you feel better about your $5000 investment that's being brought to its knees by some shiny buttons and particle effects. Remember when games used to run at 60 FPS on a potato? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Frame generation is just motion blur with extra steps and marketing. Both promise smoother gameplay but deliver different flavors of disappointment. At low FPS, frame gen creates bizarre artifacts that make your character look like they're melting in a Salvador Dali painting. At high FPS, it's as useful as installing a spoiler on a shopping cart. The worst part? We've collectively spent billions on GPUs powerful enough to run this pointless feature when we could have just... you know... enjoyed our games without overthinking every pixel. But hey, gotta justify that $1200 graphics card somehow!

Sony Online Entertainment telling us "You could not live with your own failure" only to become PlayStation Studios a decade later asking "Where did that bring you? Back to me" is the corporate equivalent of deleting your embarrassing account just to create a new one and watch all your old friends follow you anyway. The gaming industry's greatest magic trick: rebrand your failures, wait for nostalgia to kick in, then welcome back the same players who swore they'd never touch your games again. The circle of gaming life!

The eternal battle between PC and console gaming boiled down to cold, hard economics. Console players getting robbed twice - first for the hardware, then for the privilege of connecting to the internet they already pay for . Meanwhile, PC gamers smugly buying a game once and playing it forever (or until the servers die because nobody wanted to pay for maintenance). It's the digital equivalent of buying the cow vs. paying monthly for milk delivery from a cow you already bought.

Ah, the perfect visualization of modern computing architecture! The CPU is that one beefy strongman running away from a truck—handling tasks one at a time with brute force. Meanwhile, the GPU is literally a plane-load of people working in parallel. Your CPU is like that overworked middle manager who insists on doing everything himself. Sure, he's powerful, but he's still just one dude running for his life. Your GPU? That's the "let's throw a small army at the problem" approach. Individually weaker, but there's like 3000 of them, and they don't care about taking lunch breaks. And this, friends, is why your fancy gaming rig can render realistic explosions but still freezes when you open Excel.
