Anyone Else Feel Like This Is All Of Computex?

Ah, the sticker that launched a thousand panic attacks. For the youngsters: computers used to store years as two digits to save precious memory. So 1999 was just "99" in code. When 2000 hit, systems would roll over to "00" and potentially think it was 1900, causing chaos with calculations, dates, and potentially launching nuclear missiles (or so the media claimed). The solution? Turn everything off and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: we survived, but Best Buy made a killing selling these stickers to terrified boomers who thought their toasters might become sentient.

THE AUDACITY! Someone's out here trying to run Cyberpunk 2077 on what's essentially a digital fossil! 💀 Imagine blaming game developers for your prehistoric Dell Optiplex that was outdated when Obama was first elected! It's like showing up to an F1 race with a horse and cart and wondering why you can't keep up. That poor machine is begging for retirement while this person is demanding it render 4K explosions. The only thing that computer can run smoothly is Windows XP and maybe—MAYBE—Minesweeper if you're not too aggressive with the clicks.

When your gaming mouse has more holes than your production code has unit tests. That awkward moment when you realize your $150 "ultra-lightweight" mouse is just a regular mouse with strategic perforations, but somehow it makes you feel like you'll finally escape Silver rank. Meanwhile, your codebase is held together by Stack Overflow answers and prayers.

NVIDIA CEO: "Just use AI to double your VRAM!" My wallet: *screams in financial agony* 💸 The AUDACITY of suggesting we just casually drop $3000 on a graphics card! What's next? Selling a kidney to run Stable Diffusion? The absolute DELUSION that we're all swimming in money pools like tech billionaires! Meanwhile I'm over here calculating if I can afford both electricity AND ramen this month. The GPU market isn't just a clown show anymore—it's the entire circus, complete with overpriced admission tickets! 🎪

Oh honey, you haven't lived until you've seen PCPartPicker have an absolute MELTDOWN! This poor soul decided to create the computer build from hell, and PCPartPicker is basically having a digital panic attack! 😱 Look at that CATASTROPHIC list of errors! Multiple Ryzen processors?! 1.5 TERABYTES of RAM?! Windows 7 Home Premium in 2024?! I'm clutching my imaginary pearls! This is the hardware equivalent of ordering everything on the menu and watching the kitchen burst into flames! The most dramatic part? This monstrosity would probably need its own nuclear power plant just to boot up. And don't even get me started on how many kidneys you'd have to sell to afford this fever dream of a build!

OH MY GOD, the ABSOLUTE STATE of game development in 2035! 😂 Two game devs practically LOSING THEIR MINDS with hysterical laughter over the most REVOLUTIONARY concept ever - a game that can run on a WHOPPING 24GB of VRAM! Meanwhile, current AAA games are already devouring our graphics cards like they're at an all-you-can-eat VRAM buffet! At this rate, by 2035 we'll need small nuclear reactors just to run the title screen of GTA 7! The optimization apocalypse is upon us, people!
