The TRAGEDY of a generation, captured in two devastating panels. Young and hopeful at 15, dreaming of building that glorious RGB-lit battlestation and ascending to PC gaming heaven. Fast forward to 22, and you're just trying to figure out which meal to skip so you can afford RAM that won't bottleneck your depression. Plot twist: those 20% tariffs on PC parts hit different when you're paying rent, student loans, and pretending you understand what a 401k is. That gaming PC dream? Yeah, it's now sitting in your Amazon wishlist next to "financial stability" and "8 hours of sleep." The real kicker? Your 15-year-old self had NO IDEA that adulting would turn "I'll build a PC when I grow up" into "I'll play games when I retire... if I can afford to retire... if retirement still exists."
