When The Tutorial Requires A NASA Supercomputer

The eternal hardware flex vs. reality gap! When you're watching those VR optimization videos, everything seems so achievable—just tweak a few settings and boom, silky smooth gameplay! Then reality hits when some YouTuber casually drops that they're running a rig with components that cost more than your car. For the uninitiated: an RTX 4090 is NVIDIA's flagship graphics card (~$1600) and "9800x3d" likely refers to AMD's high-end CPU with 3D V-Cache technology (~$500).

Meanwhile, The Sims 3 from 2009 is over here with fully functioning humans that can already woohoo in hot tubs.

Virtual Reality, Actual Poverty

First panel: Excitement! "WHOA!" Second panel: "THIS VR IS SO REALISTIC" - that moment when you're convinced the $3,499 headset is worth every penny. Third panel: Reality check. Bank account showing -$3499. Fourth panel: Crying through your $3.5k face computer while questioning your life choices. The most realistic feature of Apple Vision Pro? The ability to see your financial regrets in stunning 4K resolution. At least now you can cry in spatial computing.
