Am I The Only One Whose Urge To Build A PC Rises In A Challenging Market?
Nothing screams "financial responsibility" quite like deciding to build a gaming rig when GPU prices are doing their best impression of a SpaceX launch trajectory. When everything's affordable and reasonable? Nah, sleep mode activated. But the SECOND graphics cards cost more than a used car and RAM sticks require a small loan? Suddenly you're possessed by the spirit of Linus Tech Tips himself, frantically refreshing Newegg at 2 AM like your life depends on it. It's the programmer equivalent of only wanting to clean your room when you have a deadline due in 3 hours. The chaos fuels us. The financial irresponsibility makes it *spicy*.

Razer just announced they're putting an AI anime girl in a jar on your desk. Because what your productivity really needed was a holographic waifu powered by Grok telling you to drink water and optimize your K/D ratio. Sure, it can help with scheduling and spreadsheet analysis, but let's be real—they're burning enough GPU cycles to run a small datacenter just so she can remind you that you've been sitting for 3 hours. The silicon shortage suddenly makes a lot more sense when companies are shoving LLMs into RGB desk ornaments. Your gaming rig can barely run Cyberpunk, but hey, at least your desk accessory has better AI than most enterprise chatbots. The future is weird.
