W Black Friday Deal

black-friday-memes, hardware-memes, ram-memes, ddr5-memes, pricing-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Black Friday "deals" on RAM prices are basically just retailers putting on clown makeup. You watch the same DDR5 kit climb from $134k to $156k over the weeks leading up to Black Friday, then they slap a "MEGA SALE" sticker on it at $629k and expect you to be grateful. It's like they're not even trying anymore—just straight up insulting your intelligence while you're standing there with your wallet out like William Wallace ready to charge into financial ruin for some memory sticks.

The pricing strategy is so transparent it hurts. They're literally training us to wait for "sales" that cost 4x more than the regular price. Peak capitalism meets peak absurdity.

Me Choosing Which Game To Delete To Install A New One

The dreaded "storage execution" scene! That moment when your SSD is at 99% capacity and you need to install a 60GB game. Suddenly you're Negan from The Walking Dead, bat in hand, deciding which of your precious game installs gets the digital axe. The 45GB game is sweating bullets while the 92GB behemoth is practically begging to be spared. "But I'm only 30% through the campaign!" Meanwhile, the 58GB and 89GB games are silently accepting their fate, knowing they haven't been launched in 8 months. Bonus pain: after deleting 200GB worth of games, you realize the new one needs another 50GB for the day-one patch.

I Know Something's There, I Just Can't Prove It

That moment of existential dread when your antivirus finds absolutely nothing suspicious, but opening Task Manager makes your CPU temperature spike to 100°C. It's like having a burglar who hides perfectly when the cops show up, but immediately starts a bonfire the second they leave. Your computer is basically gaslighting you – "No viruses here! Now excuse me while I melt through your desk for... uh... normal computer reasons."

The Potato Graphics Connoisseur

The eternal struggle between performance and comedy. While everyone's dropping their life savings on RTX cards to see every pore on their character's face, some of us are over here deliberately cranking those settings down to potato quality. There's something deeply satisfying about watching a AAA game turn into a blocky, glitchy mess where characters' faces fold in on themselves during emotional cutscenes. It's the digital equivalent of watching a Shakespeare play performed by kindergartners - technically worse but infinitely more entertaining.

The Most Physical Network Topology

The apartment building networking topology we never asked for but definitely deserved. Three gamers locked in an epic battle, visible through their windows at night – one with a headset strategizing, another grinding away at their desk setup, and the third looking like he just rage-quit so hard he needed a bandage. This is what happens when you take "local area network" too literally. The ping must be amazing though – just open your window and shout "LAG!" instead of typing it. Next-level physical topology that even Cisco didn't think to document.

Trust But Verify (Or Drive Two Hours)

The eternal IT paradox: "Trust but verify" taken to its logical extreme. Poor Eric drove two hours just to press a power button that three people swore was already on. This is why we develop trust issues and insist on seeing error logs ourselves. Nothing quite builds character like a 4-hour round trip to flip a switch that takes 2 seconds. The server was probably running perfectly... in someone's imagination.

When Your Fridge Has Better Cooling Than Your Gaming PC

So your fridge is running Noctua cooling fans? Guess your ice cubes compile faster than mine. That's what happens when your household appliances have better hardware than your development server. Next thing you know, your toaster will be running Kubernetes while your production environment is still on a Raspberry Pi from 2012.
