Look How They Massacred My Boy

OH THE BETRAYAL! The top image shows a gorgeous, character-filled brick house labeled "€5 2000s game+mods" - representing those glorious old games we modded into oblivion until they were MAGNIFICENT BEASTS of gaming perfection. The bottom shows the same house but painted sterile white labeled "€30 remaster" - the overpriced, soulless "improvements" game companies sell us as if they've done something revolutionary. They took our beautifully modded masterpieces, slapped on some white paint, and had the AUDACITY to charge six times more! This is the gaming industry equivalent of replacing your grandmother's secret recipe with store-bought garbage and charging you premium prices for the "convenience." THE HORROR!

Give A Man A Console, Teach A Man To Build

The eternal PC vs console debate just got philosophical! This keyboard wisdom hits different because it's painfully true—custom-built PCs are like gateway drugs to endless hardware tinkering. You start with "I just need something to play Fortnite" and suddenly you're researching liquid nitrogen cooling at 2AM while comparing benchmark scores for GPUs you can't afford. The addiction isn't just playing games; it's the never-ending quest for that extra 3 FPS that costs another $300. Console gamers finish games; PC builders finish builds .

The Modern Game Development Dilemma

Game developers caught in the eternal tug-of-war between hardcore veterans and the lucrative casual market. Turns out making games for people who actually know how to play them doesn't pay as well as catering to little Timmy who just got his mom's iPad and her entire bank account. Why spend years perfecting intricate game mechanics when you can slap together a shiny microtransaction factory with auto-aim and participation trophies? The industry's race to the bottom continues, one simplified tutorial at a time.

Microsoft's Recommended Upgrade Path

Microsoft's idea of an upgrade path: swap your modern OS for a game from 1989. When Windows 10 support ends, they're not suggesting Linux or even Windows 11—they're recommending you time travel back to TempleOS. Because nothing says "cutting-edge security" like pixelated platforms and 8-bit sound effects. Honestly, this might be an improvement. At least Temple Run doesn't force updates while you're in the middle of a presentation. And the system requirements are so low, even that potato you call a development machine could handle it.

Based On A True Story

That moment when your innocent game creation suddenly attracts the wrong kind of attention. For the uninitiated, "R34" refers to "Rule 34" of the internet: "If it exists, there is adult content of it." Game devs spend countless hours perfecting gameplay mechanics, narrative arcs, and character development—only to watch in horror as the internet's first contribution is... explicit fan art. The duality of the facial expressions perfectly captures the mental journey from "My game is getting noticed!" to "Wait, not like that!"

The Humble Indie Game Protagonist

That's just Journey's protagonist after the budget cuts hit. When your indie game funding runs out but you still need to ship something, you grab grandma's knitting project and call it "innovative character design." Half the Steam reviews will call it "a profound statement on isolation in the digital age" while the other half will complain that the hitbox is too big.

About Once Every Few Months

STOP EVERYTHING!
