Who Would Have Thunk?

The brutal reality of Assembly language summed up in one perfect Carl Sagan reference! When high-level languages let you just import a library and call makePie() , Assembly forces you to manually manage every electron in the universe. Want to print "Hello World"? First define the cosmos, build a CPU from quarks, and then spend 47 lines moving individual bytes into registers. It's like building a skyscraper with tweezers when everyone else is using cranes. No wonder Assembly programmers have that thousand-yard stare—they've seen the void between the bits.

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of admitting you're still using an HDD in 2023! Everyone GASPS! The room falls SILENT! Your developer friends look at you with such PITY and DISGUST, like you just confessed to coding in Notepad or still using Internet Explorer! DARLING, the loading times! THE LOADING TIMES! How do you even FUNCTION waiting those EXCRUCIATING extra seconds for your IDE to open?! It's basically technological TORTURE at this point! Next thing you'll tell me is that you don't have RGB lighting on your keyboard either! *faints dramatically*

Buy a new mechanical keyboard and suddenly TikTok's algorithm knows you've joined the cult. Next thing you know, you're sitting in a coffin surrounded by keyboard enthusiasts asking about your switch preferences while your bank account is already dead and buried. The real RIP is your wallet after you discover keycap group buys.

Ah, the evolution of game development—from heroic optimization wizards to corporate dumpster fires. Remember when devs were literal coding gods who could fit entire games in kilobytes and make them run on a potato? Now we've got these "Triple A" clowns shipping 50GB broken messes, requiring NASA computers, and forcing you to be online just to play a single-player game. The best part is the "optimization" advice. "Just buy a better PC, bro" is the game dev equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" except it costs you $2000. And let's not even address whatever the hell is happening with that breast milk situation. Modern gaming, everyone! 👏

THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL! 💔 Imagine thinking you're safe with your gaming setup when suddenly your "mom" knows EXACTLY what GPU you're rocking! The horror! The Terminator isn't just hunting John Connor—he's hunting kids with clueless parents who can't tell an RTX from a toaster! That moment when your AI overlord exposes your foster parents as tech-savvy imposters because NO REAL PARENT knows what an RX 9070 XT is without being a literal killing machine from the future. Peak silicon-based betrayal right there!

The classic corporate strategy vs. rogue tech reviewer showdown. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang thinks he's clever by timing the RTX 5060 release during Computex to avoid early negative reviews. Meanwhile, some absolute madlad tech reviewer just brings an entire PC setup to his hotel room in Taiwan and benchmarks it anyway. It's the hardware equivalent of "you can't fire me, I quit" but with more RGB lighting and jet engine fan noise. The look on Jensen's face in the last panel is the exact same expression every engineering manager has when their carefully crafted release plan gets demolished by someone who just doesn't give a damn about their marketing strategy.
