System requirements Memes

The bear vs wolf meme perfectly captures how system requirements have evolved over time. Modern AAA games demand absurd hardware specs (RTX 5090, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD) while the original DOOM from 1993 will happily run on a potato with two wires sticking out of it. The title about "running it in GitHub Actions" is the chef's kiss - some dev figured out how to bypass buying a gaming rig by abusing CI/CD infrastructure to play games on company hardware. Classic developer resourcefulness. Your DevOps team hates this one simple trick!

Ah yes, modern gaming in a nutshell! A massive bear labeled "NEW AAA GAMES" requiring a nuclear-powered rig with "RTX 5090, AMD RX 7900, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD" just to launch the title screen. Meanwhile, the humble wolf "DOOM 1993" runs perfectly on a calculator with "CPU, GPU (OPTIONAL)" specs. The real joke? That GitHub Actions workflow is gonna time out before your AAA game even finishes downloading the shader cache. Meanwhile, DOOM is probably already running on your CI/CD pipeline's error logs.

Ah, the evolution of game development—from heroic optimization wizards to corporate dumpster fires. Remember when devs were literal coding gods who could fit entire games in kilobytes and make them run on a potato? Now we've got these "Triple A" clowns shipping 50GB broken messes, requiring NASA computers, and forcing you to be online just to play a single-player game. The best part is the "optimization" advice. "Just buy a better PC, bro" is the game dev equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" except it costs you $2000. And let's not even address whatever the hell is happening with that breast milk situation. Modern gaming, everyone! 👏
