Are You Sure You're Making The Right Choice?

Remember when NVIDIA and AMD used to compete for who could give us better value? Now they're joining forces in a sacred pact to empty our wallets with overpriced 8GB GPUs. It's like watching two ancient enemies realize they can make more money as a cartel than actually competing. The budget gamer sits in the corner, crying into their 5-year-old graphics card that's somehow worth more now than when they bought it.

Remember when game devs were literal coding demigods who could squeeze a full RollerCoaster Tycoon into Assembly language and fit shooters into kilobytes? Now we've got bearded dudes stealing breast milk while shipping 500GB games that still need a "day one patch" bigger than entire operating systems from the 90s. Modern AAA game development has truly evolved from "how can we optimize this to run on a potato?" to "just buy a new PC, peasant." And don't forget the always-online single player games because heaven forbid you enjoy content you paid for without a constant internet connection. The industry went from "first few levels free as shareware" to "that'll be $70 plus $20 for the season pass, $15 for the cosmetic DLC, and $10 for the soundtrack we removed from the base game."

PC users panic when their GPU hits 80°C. Meanwhile, laptop owners casually sip coffee while their device doubles as a space heater during Zoom calls. Nothing says "working from home" like coding with third-degree thigh burns and watching your battery drain faster than your morning coffee. The real reason laptop cooling pads exist? So you can still have children someday.

Finally decoded Reddit's voting system! Upvote for "you're on Team NVIDIA" and downvote for "how dare you prefer AMD." The GPU holy wars continue to rage while I'm still coding on integrated graphics that struggle to render VS Code. The real winner? My electricity bill.

Remember when upgrading from 8GB to 16GB of RAM made you feel like tech royalty? Now your Chrome tabs laugh as they consume 63.9GB of your 64GB memory while you sleep peacefully on your pile of cash that could've been spent on more sensible things... like more RAM. The task manager doesn't lie—your computer is one YouTube video away from spontaneous combustion.

FIBER OPTIC CABLES: *exist* JOURNALISTS: "HOLD THE PHONE! Are these magical glass straws the secret to slurping internet at the speed of light?!" The absolute DRAMA of tech journalism discovering basic networking technology that's been around since the 1970s! Next headline: "Revolutionary new invention called 'electricity' might power your devices!" Meanwhile, network engineers are having aneurysms in the corner while journalists act like they've discovered alien technology. The disconnect is simply *chef's kiss* magnificent!
