So True

Intel's been promising their 5080 "Super" GPU for what feels like geological eras now. Wait, Intel doesn't make the 5080? NVIDIA does? Yeah, exactly. Those folks are still waiting for something that doesn't exist while the rest of us moved on with our lives. Fun fact: By the time NVIDIA actually releases a hypothetical 5080 Super variant (if they ever do), we'll probably have invented quantum computing, solved P vs NP, and finally agreed on tabs vs spaces. The skeleton perfectly captures that eternal optimism of "just wait a bit longer for the next gen" while technology marches forward and your current rig collects dust. Pro tip from someone who's seen too many hardware cycles: buy what you need now, not what's promised for tomorrow. Otherwise you'll be that skeleton on the bench, still refreshing r/nvidia for launch dates.

The Bubble Must Collapse

Picture the absolute AUDACITY of developers sitting here like skeletal lawn ornaments, waiting for the AI bubble to pop so GPU prices finally become affordable again. Because nothing says "I'm a rational human being" like postponing your entire build for months (years?) because some AI startup decided your RTX 4090 is worth more than a used car. The sheer TRAGEDY of watching datacenters hoover up every GPU in existence while you're stuck running your neural networks on a potato. But sure, let's just casually wait for the entire tech economy to implode so we can finally afford 32GB of RAM without selling a kidney. The patience. The delusion. The skeleton vibes are immaculate.
