It's Finally In My Price Range But I Don't Know If I Should
THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE OF EVERY DEVELOPER WHO SWORE THEY WOULDN'T BUY ANOTHER GADGET THIS YEAR! That Steam Deck with its measly 20% discount is TAUNTING me from across the internet, whispering sweet nothings about all the games I could play during compile time. My bank account is SCREAMING in terror while my inner child is already imagining playing Doom during standups. The mental gymnastics I'm performing to justify this "investment" deserves an Olympic medal. "It's practically saving money if you think about it!" 💸

Must Get That Deal
Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of this meme attacking my entire Steam library! 💀 The difference between normies and us gamers is ASTRONOMICAL. They wait for sales like peasants, while we HEROICALLY buy games at full price only to let them marinate in our libraries like fine digital wine for a YEAR before even installing them. My 347 unplayed games aren't a problem, they're an INVESTMENT in my future happiness! And yes, I WILL play Skyrim again instead of any of them, thank you very much!

The Monkey Brain Discount Algorithm
Developers and Steam sales - a tale as old as time. Your brain stays completely offline when seeing a $29.99 price tag, but throw in that "-50%" label and suddenly your dopamine receptors light up like a Christmas tree. The game still costs exactly $29.99, but now your primitive developer brain is convinced it's an incredible deal. And Lord Gaben watches from above, knowing you'll buy 17 games you'll never install.

Buying Games > Playing Games
The digital hoarding phenomenon strikes again! That sweet dopamine hit from clicking "Purchase" during Steam sales is vastly superior to the actual commitment of downloading and playing the games. My Steam library has more unplayed titles than a bookshelf at an illiterate's house. It's basically a digital museum of good intentions at this point. The backlog grows faster than technical debt in a startup with no code reviews.

I Am Hoarding Domains
THE AUDACITY to compare my domain-buying habit to "compulsive shopping"! 💅 Excuse me, but those 37 domain names I purchased at 3 AM are not just impulse buys—they're investments in my future genius ! Sure, I haven't touched my last 12 side projects, but THIS ONE will definitely become the next billion-dollar startup! My wallet is sobbing, my projects folder is a graveyard of dreams, and GoDaddy sends me birthday cards now, but how DARE you judge me for securing www.definitely-will-code-this-someday.com! It's called being VISIONARY, sweetie!
