I'm PS/2 Ports Old

The gaming industry's evolution is less "technological advancement" and more "descent into madness." Old-school devs were optimization wizards who could fit entire games into kilobytes and make them run on calculators. They'd offer free demos because they actually wanted people to enjoy their creations. Meanwhile, modern "Triple A" studios are out here shipping 50GB games that still need a 50GB day-one patch, requiring NASA-grade hardware just to hit 30fps, and forcing always-online connections for single-player experiences because apparently tracking your every move is an "essential feature." And let's not forget the bizarre workplace environments where employees are apparently... stealing breast milk? I'm not even going to ask what kind of agile methodology that falls under.

When you've been staring at your code for 8 hours straight and just want to be done with it... nothing beats a physical "git push" button. Just slam that thing and pray your tests pass in CI. Because sometimes, committing code isn't just a command—it's an emotional release. The harder you push the button, the more likely your merge request gets approved. It's science.

Your computer's transformation when you finally install RAM correctly is basically the digital equivalent of a superhero origin story. That scrawny single 16GB stick running in single channel mode is just limping along, but reconfigure those exact same 16GB as 8×2 in dual channel? BOOM - your machine suddenly flexes computational muscles you didn't even know it had. The bandwidth difference is real! Your IDE loads faster, Chrome tabs stop gasping for memory, and suddenly those Docker containers aren't bringing your system to its knees. It's literally the same amount of RAM with completely different performance characteristics - just like how Superman and Clark Kent are technically the same person.

The duality of developers in their natural habitat. While gaming enthusiasts insist that anything below 80fps is basically a slideshow presentation, backend devs are just happy their decade-old codebase still compiles without setting the server room on fire. The fancy Pooh represents all of us who've had to deploy to production on a Friday and whispered those magical words: "If it runs, it's good enough" before immediately turning off Slack notifications for the weekend.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of game developers in 2023! 💀 There you are, innocently browsing Steam for some summer gaming bliss, when suddenly—BAM!—you're slapped in the face with system requirements that might as well say "Sorry, peasant, go buy NASA's supercomputer first." Your pathetic little potato PC is sitting in the corner, practically weeping while the shiny new games flaunt their need for 32GB RAM, the latest GPU that costs more than your rent, and storage space that could fit the entire Library of Congress. Meanwhile, your 5-year-old graphics card is having an existential crisis just trying to render the game's TRAILER. The gaming industry has basically created a caste system where your hardware determines if you're royalty or a street urchin begging for frames per second!

Ah, the eternal gaming platform war—where everyone's arguing over consoles vs PC when some lunatic throws "mobile is better" into the mix. It's like watching two professional chefs argue about gas vs. electric stoves, and then the intern suggests using an Easy-Bake Oven instead. Both console and PC gamers momentarily stop their religious war to share that rare moment of unity: pure horror at the mobile gaming heresy. Nothing brings enemies together like a common threat to civilization itself.
