The Ultimate Early April Fools!
Nvidia's marketing team deserves an Oscar for this one. "RTX 5070 with 4090 performance for just $549!" Yeah right, and I'm the next CEO of Microsoft. Nothing screams "false hope" quite like promising top-tier performance at mid-range prices. Gamers and developers everywhere just collectively felt their wallets sigh with relief before realizing it's probably just marketing speak for "slightly better than last gen but we'll charge you premium anyway." The GPU market is basically gaslighting at this point – making you think you're crazy for expecting reasonable prices for reasonable performance.

The Desperate GPU Dating Game
The desperate dance of GPU pricing in real-time. Nothing says "I'm totally not panicking" like dropping your price by $130 in a series of increasingly frantic messages. From $940 to $810 with a brief "Bought it for more than that" thrown in for emotional leverage. This is basically the GPU market's version of drunk texting your ex. "Hey... u up? I'm actually worth $940... no wait $915... actually $810... please respond."

And that awkward moment when the customer actually thanks them for the privilege of being financially drained? Pure Stockholm syndrome that every product manager dreams of.

Thanks Dad, For The £500 "Simple" Website Gig
Nothing like family members who think web development is just dragging a few buttons around for an hour. Dad's out here brokering £500 deals for a "normal screen size" website while his kid is wondering if this requires a full CMS, e-commerce integration, or just 47 revisions of "make the logo bigger." The best part? Dad has absolutely no idea what goes into building a website but is confidently volunteering his child's expertise like it's a quick favor. That £500 will cover about 1/10th of the therapy needed after the client says "I want it to be like Amazon but better."
