The GPU "Upgrade" Betrayal

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute DRAMA of GPU upgrade culture! 😱 Someone has the AUDACITY to claim their "outdated" GPU needed upgrading, only to reveal they already had a top-tier 4070/4080/4090 or Radeon beast that most of us would SACRIFICE OUR FIRSTBORN for! The sheer BETRAYAL when someone with a $1500+ graphics card whines about needing an upgrade while the rest of us are nursing our ancient GTX 1060s like they're fragile Victorian children with consumption. THE NERVE! THE PRIVILEGE! Meanwhile, I'm over here with my GPU held together with prayers and thermal paste, begging it to run Notepad without crashing. 💀

The Curse Of High Refresh Rates

The high-refresh-rate rabbit hole claims another victim. Once you've experienced the buttery smoothness of 144 FPS gaming, your standards get completely warped. Suddenly 60 FPS—which used to be the gold standard we all dreamed about—feels like watching a PowerPoint presentation. Your GPU is crying, your electricity bill is skyrocketing, but you refuse to compromise because "I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live an uncomfortable life." The gaming equivalent of refusing to drink anything but top-shelf liquor after that one time you splurged.
