Linus Will Be A Grandpa When GTA 6 Releases

Spent $3000 on a liquid-cooled gaming rig with RGB everything just to play a game that looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint. Meanwhile, the kid with a potato laptop is desperately trying to run Cyberpunk at 12 FPS. The true tragedy of modern gaming isn't bad game design—it's resource allocation. That RTX 4090 is sitting there calculating the perfect shadow on a Roblox brick while somewhere an integrated GPU is literally catching fire.

OMG, the AUDACITY of this bell curve! 😤 Cheap games are for the intellectual EXTREMES of society! Meanwhile, the average IQ masses are over here throwing away $80 on AAA titles that'll be in the bargain bin next month! The gaming industry's greatest achievement is convincing the mediocre middle that expensive = quality, while both the brilliant geniuses AND complete simpletons are playing Terraria and having the time of their lives for $9.99! The math doesn't lie, people - true gaming enlightenment is found at both ends of the IQ spectrum!

The skeleton of every Steam user, faithfully converting wishlist items into digital dust since the dawn of time. That wishlist is basically a graveyard where good intentions go to die. We tell ourselves "I'll buy it when it's on sale" but then we're too busy playing the same three games we've had since 2012. The wishlist is just a monument to our gaming FOMO – the digital equivalent of buying a treadmill that becomes an expensive clothes hanger.

Remember when you could build a gaming PC without taking out a second mortgage? Yeah, me neither. That glorious feeling of assembling your rig right before GPU prices went absolutely bonkers is like watching a plane crash in slow motion—except you're Thomas the Tank Engine with that unsettlingly cheerful smile, blissfully unaware of the financial apocalypse behind you. Building your PC before the crypto mining boom, chip shortage, and general hardware price insanity hit different. You got that sweet RTX 3080 at MSRP while everyone else is now fighting scalpers and bots for a card that costs more than their entire setup. Meanwhile, current builders are out here selling kidneys just to afford RAM sticks. The best part? You're just cruising along with your reasonably-priced components while the entire PC building community burns in the background. No regrets, just vibes and 144fps.

When your Gateway PC from 1998 can't run a game from 2023, it's not exactly a shocking revelation. That ancient beige box with its Pentium II processor and whopping 32MB of RAM would struggle to run the loading screen of GTA VI, let alone the actual game. The hilarious part is framing this as "breaking news" - as if anyone was holding out hope that their museum-worthy Windows 98 machine would somehow handle a game requiring approximately 500,000% more computing power. It's like announcing that your horse-drawn carriage won't qualify for Formula 1 racing. But hey, at least you can still play Minesweeper at a blistering 800x600 resolution!

The high-refresh-rate rabbit hole claims another victim. Once you've experienced the buttery smoothness of 144 FPS gaming, your standards get completely warped. Suddenly 60 FPS—which used to be the gold standard we all dreamed about—feels like watching a PowerPoint presentation. Your GPU is crying, your electricity bill is skyrocketing, but you refuse to compromise because "I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live an uncomfortable life." The gaming equivalent of refusing to drink anything but top-shelf liquor after that one time you splurged.
