The Linux Gateway Drug
Started with one innocent computer, ended up with a room full of salvaged hardware running 24/7.

Why pay someone $200/hour to listen to your problems when you can spend $2000 on old server hardware to create your own EMOTIONAL DAMAGE?! 💀 The absolute DEDICATION of stacking five Dell servers in your basement just to run container orchestration that could probably run on a Raspberry Pi! But nooooo, we need the FULL ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE at home because clearly our relationships weren't complicated enough already! The electricity bill alone would fund a year of therapy, but who needs mental health when you have high availability and auto-scaling for your personal blog that gets three visitors a month?!

The Curse Of High Refresh Rates
The high-refresh-rate rabbit hole claims another victim. Once you've experienced the buttery smoothness of 144 FPS gaming, your standards get completely warped.

Your GPU is crying, your electricity bill is skyrocketing, but you refuse to compromise because "I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live an uncomfortable life." The gaming equivalent of refusing to drink anything but top-shelf liquor after that one time you splurged.
