Oblivion Remastered Game Size Summarized
Ah, the classic "let me unmask this villain" meme perfectly captures modern game development! A 2006 game like Oblivion somehow takes up 120GB after being "remastered" (aka slapping on some prettier textures). But pull off that mask and—surprise!—it's actually Unreal Engine 5 bloating everything up like it's getting paid by the gigabyte. Remember when games fit on a single CD? Now you need to clear half your SSD just to install the main menu. The storage requirements are expanding faster than my coffee budget during debugging week.

Average Node.js Project
Behold the duality of Node.js development! On the left, we have the node_modules folder—a monstrous encyclopedia that could crush a small desk, containing 500MB of dependencies just to center a div. Meanwhile, your actual source code on the right is basically a haiku that says "import everything" and "console.log('hello world')". The best part? You'll spend 90% of your time managing those dependencies and 10% writing the three lines of code that actually do something. It's like bringing a nuclear warhead to a knife fight.

Time For A New IDE
The classic developer delusion cycle. Start with a lightweight text editor thinking you'll be the next keyboard ninja. Three plugins later, you've turned your sleek editor into a resource-hogging circus that takes longer to start than a Monday morning standup. The transformation is complete when you're staring at the loading screen wondering why you didn't just install the bloated IDE you were avoiding in the first place.

After Getting How Many Plugins Do You Stop
Ah, the classic developer paradox. "I prefer VS Code because it's lightweight and simple!" *proceeds to transform it into a computational black hole with 47 extensions that colorize brackets, play lo-fi beats when you commit, and predict your next line of code based on your zodiac sign* The irony of turning your "lightweight" editor into something that requires 16GB of RAM just to open a text file is the purest form of developer self-deception. We're all just one extension away from needing a cooling system for our laptops.
