So Really It's Only 2 Years Old

Setting RGB lights to white and getting blue instead is the hardware equivalent of expecting "Hello World" but getting a segfault. RGB color mixing works by combining Red, Green, and Blue channels - so white should be (255, 255, 255). But if you're getting blue, either your red and green LEDs decided to take a vacation, or someone's firmware is having an existential crisis. It's like asking for coffee with cream and sugar but receiving straight espresso with a side of disappointment. The hardware gods have spoken, and they said "no."

When you spend six months optimizing shaders, rewriting the rendering pipeline, debugging memory leaks on hardware with less RAM than your IDE uses, and somehow getting it to run at 30fps... only to realize you could've just used Unity's build button. The Switch port that was supposed to take two weeks aged you 28 years. Your hair went gray debugging Joy-Con drift in your input handling. You now understand why some studios just release "cloud versions."

When your friend asks what CPU you have but you've been living in fantasy land since you "overclocked" it. Nothing says "I'm a hardware genius" like naming your own fictional processor the "Ultra rizzler edition" running at 9.5GHz while your actual base clock is a modest 3.5GHz. That's not overclocking—that's over- lying . Next thing you'll tell me is your RGB lighting adds 10 teraflops of computing power.

Chrome showing up to your system like a shady dealer in an alley. You boot up your machine with 8GB thinking you're good, and Chrome's already there with 47 tabs open, each one demanding its own gigabyte like some kind of memory protection racket. Meanwhile your actual applications are getting swapped to disk wondering what happened to their allocated resources. The PC Master Race subreddit knows the pain—you spent $2000 on a gaming rig just to watch Chrome consume more RAM than Cyberpunk 2077. At least the drug dealer asks politely.

Ah, the classic "locally running fine-tuned model" joke that perfectly skewers both tech bros and Nvidia's marketing department in one fell swoop. This is riffing on how Nvidia has been aggressively pushing AI capabilities in everything from gaming to dating. The tweet satirizes the absurd endpoint of this trend – where even your romantic partners need to be running on local hardware to be "legitimate." As someone who's watched GPU prices skyrocket while marketing slides get increasingly unhinged, I feel this in my empty wallet. Next they'll be selling us RTX 5090s with "girlfriend-ready ray tracing" for the low price of your firstborn child.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Oh wait, you can't! Someone's kid built a "gaming PC" out of cardboard and paint. Complete with rainbow fans, a fake SSD, and what appears to be the Windows logo drawn by someone who had Windows described to them over a bad phone connection. The real kicker? It'll probably run Crysis better than my actual machine.
