I'm PS/2 Ports Old

When someone asks my age, I don't give them a number—I just show them PS/2 ports. If they recognize these ancient keyboard and mouse connectors without Googling, we're from the same tech paleolithic era. These circular relics with their color-coded pins were the USB of the '90s, except they required perfect alignment and a small prayer to connect properly. Nothing says "I witnessed the dial-up apocalypse" quite like remembering to check which color goes where. Kids these days with their USB-C will never know the satisfaction of that perfect *click* when you finally got it right after three attempts.

The Unstoppable Growth Of Call Of Duty

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 Most Satisfying Way To Commit

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.

The Digital Sophie's Choice

The existential crisis of modern gaming: you've got 128GB of storage, 127GB of games you love, and a new 60GB title you desperately want to play. Suddenly you're Negan from The Walking Dead, forcing yourself to choose which beloved digital child gets sacrificed to the storage gods. "But I might play it again someday!" you whisper, as you reluctantly hover over the uninstall button for that RPG you haven't touched in 18 months. The psychological warfare between attachment and practicality is more brutal than any boss fight.

Can You Fix My Printer?

The AUDACITY of people when they discover you work in tech! 💻 One second you're having a nice conversation, the next they're asking you to resurrect their ancient printer from the digital graveyard.

The way that doctor YEETED that clipboard is exactly how I feel when someone says "but you're good with computers" after I explain I can't fix their hardware. The emotional DAMAGE is real!

It's Evolving, Just Backwards

Remember when NVIDIA promised us RTX would revolutionize gaming? Fast forward to reality where we've gone from "RTX Hair" that just makes characters look like they haven't showered in weeks to "HairWorks" that completely overhauls physics but turns your $3000 GPU into a space heater. Meanwhile, the doge meme evolved from normal to buff while our framerates went from 60 to slideshow. Graphics cards marketing in a nutshell: "Sure, your game runs at 3 FPS now, but look at those gloriously realistic individual strands of greasy hair!"
