Someone Has To Do It, Right?

Behold the evolution of PC justification logic: Normal brain: "I need this RTX 4090 for school spreadsheets." Glowing brain: "This 64GB RAM setup is essential for my remote work meetings." Enlightened brain: "My liquid-cooled rig is purely for watching YouTube at 1080p." Transcendent cosmic brain: "I spent $3000 on this battlestation to play Stardew Valley and occasionally open Notepad++."

Ah, the mythical Linux battery life! 81% battery with 55 hours remaining while in "Performance" mode? That's not a power management system, that's a fantasy novel . Windows users get excited about 3 hours of battery life while Linux is over here claiming your laptop can outlast the apocalypse. The best part? Someone has it in "High performance" mode, which on any other OS would drain your battery faster than a TikTok scrolling session. Linux is basically saying "I can make your 2012 laptop battery perform like it's powered by arc reactor technology from Iron Man." Sure, Jan. 🙄

The financial priorities of PC gaming enthusiasts in their natural habitat! Rejecting a $630 Nintendo Switch 2 as "too expensive," but gleefully dropping $4000 on an RTX graphics card without blinking. Because nothing says "reasonable budget management" like spending the equivalent of a used car on a component that'll be obsolete in 18 months. But those ray-traced reflections in Cyberpunk are totally worth eating ramen for six months straight.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? That glass panel is clearly running Windows and experiencing unprecedented stability. The fact it didn't shatter on impact means you've discovered the rarest bug of all - reliable Microsoft hardware . Try installing updates or running npm install - that'll break anything. If all else fails, just tell it you're migrating to Linux and watch it self-destruct out of spite.

That moment when your trusty coding companion of many years decides it's had enough of your spaghetti code and kernel panics. The emotional attachment is real—you've been through countless all-nighters, Stack Overflow searches, and successful builds together. Now it's just sitting there, refusing to POST, taking your compiled memories to silicon heaven. It's not just hardware failing; it's the digital equivalent of your childhood pet running away. Pour one out for all the terminals that never got to execute their final shutdown -h now .

The eternal struggle of PC building in 2023. You're all excited about that shiny new PC upgrade, maybe even drooling over those fancy PCMRs (PC Master Race setups), until DDR5 prices show up and grab you by the wallet. It's like going to a restaurant, checking out the menu, and then flipping it over to see they charge $15 for a side of fries. Suddenly your enthusiasm gets body-slammed by economic reality. The dream of 128GB DDR5 RAM running at light speed? That'll be one kidney, please. No wonder we're all still rocking DDR4 while pretending we're "waiting for the technology to mature."
