My Body Is A Machine That Turns Wishlist Into Regret

THE AUDACITY! Someone has the NERVE to mock DOOM's source code for having "no structs, no classes" only to get absolutely DESTROYED when they actually look inside and find—GASP—structs everywhere! 😱 The betrayal! The drama! It's like bragging about how your vegan friend eats no meat and then finding their freezer PACKED with bacon. The shocked cat face is literally all of us when our smug programming hot takes get obliterated by actual facts. Moral of the story: maybe CHECK the legendary code before trashing it, you absolute AMATEUR! 💅

The Game Engine Hunger Games is in full swing! While Crytek and Unity are busy slashing their workforce like they're pruning dead code branches, Epic's Unreal Engine is channeling its inner Highlander, sword raised, ready to decapitate the competition. Nothing says "sustainable business model" quite like not randomly firing your developers or implementing surprise runtime fees after people have already shipped their games. The tech industry's version of natural selection is brutal—survival of the least mismanaged.

Ah, the universal gamer solidarity against the bane of PC gaming existence. Nothing unites the gaming community quite like the collective disdain for having to install yet another launcher just to play a single game. Each publisher insisting you need their special software to launch their precious intellectual property. Origin, Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games Store, Rockstar, EA, 2K, Bethesda... it's like needing a different key for every door in your house. Meanwhile, your RAM weeps silently in the background as eight different launchers run simultaneously, each one updating when you least expect it. Just let me play the damn game already.

Remember when games fit on a 1.44MB floppy? Now Call of Duty is like that friend who keeps saying "just one more beer" but shows up to your house with a U-Haul full of storage requirements. At 105GB, SpongeBob thinks the madness has peaked, but Patrick knows better - slapping us with a 300GB reality check. Your SSD isn't crying, it's having a full-on existential crisis. And game developers are just sitting there like "What? It's just 4K textures of the same gun from 37 slightly different angles."

The eternal struggle of every game developer who still lives with their parents. That crushing moment when Mom walks in, sees you clicking away at Unity or Unreal Engine, and assumes you're just wasting time on Fortnite again. The sad cat face perfectly captures that mix of indignation and despair when your career aspirations are dismissed as "playing games." Sure, I'm staring at a screen for 12 hours straight, but I'm creating worlds, not just living in them! Pro tip: Next time, just tell Mom you're "optimizing recursive algorithms for interactive entertainment systems." She'll either be impressed or confused enough to leave you alone.

Nvidia's gone from "graphics card company" to "AI overlord" so fast that gamers are getting dumped like last year's Steam sale impulse buys. Remember when GPUs were for rendering Skyrim mods? Now they're calculating the probability of human extinction while costing more than your first car. The relationship status between gamers and Nvidia has officially changed to "it's complicated" – or rather, "it's computing" the next trillion-parameter model. Your RTX 4090 isn't rendering Cyberpunk anymore; it's rendering humanity obsolete.
