Hardware testing Memes

Oh. My. GOD! The AUDACITY of benchmark purists! 💅 You know you're dealing with the ELITE of computing when someone runs benchmarks without frame generation or upscaling. These people strut around with their raw performance metrics like they're carrying the holy grail of computing! While the rest of us PEASANTS are just trying to squeeze decent framerates with our pathetic GPUs, these benchmark purists are over here demanding "REAL PERFORMANCE NUMBERS" and "GENUINE RENDERING" like they're some kind of digital aristocracy! I can't even! The next time someone brags about their "native resolution benchmarks," I'm just going to dramatically faint right onto my DLSS-upscaled desktop!

The mythical moment has arrived! After years of being asked "but can it run Crysis?" as the ultimate PC benchmark question, someone finally leveraged this meme into an actual job offer. Crysis (2007) was so notoriously demanding that even modern systems struggle with it at max settings. The formal frog gentleman's announcement perfectly captures that surreal professional victory when your obscure gaming knowledge suddenly becomes a legitimate technical qualification. The interview probably went: "What's your experience with hardware stress testing?" "Well, I've been running Crysis since 2007..." "YOU'RE HIRED!"

Nothing like the sheer existential dread of upgrading your PC only to watch it self-destruct! First, you proudly install more RAM thinking you're about to experience computing nirvana. Then the BIOS decides it's the perfect moment for an unexpected update—because clearly your consent is just a formality. But the true horror? Running Memtest86 and discovering your fancy new RAM sticks are about as functional as a chocolate teapot. That moment when your upgrade journey transforms from "I'm gonna have the fastest PC ever" to "Did I just waste $200 on defective memory?" in 3.5 seconds flat. The hardware equivalent of writing perfect code that somehow still returns 47 compiler errors.
