Don't Get My Hopes Up

Ah, the classic gaming paradox! You've got hardware that could probably launch a spacecraft to Mars: 128-core CPU, RTX 4090 with 24GB VRAM, 256GB of RAM, and an 8TB NVME SSD that could store the entire Library of Congress. And what does Unreal Engine 5 do with all this computational might? Struggle to hit 25 FPS in a menu screen . It's like buying a Formula 1 car and using it exclusively to pick up groceries at 5mph. Those fancy ray-tracing acronyms (DLSS/FSR/XeSS) are just there to make you feel better about your $5000 investment that's being brought to its knees by some shiny buttons and particle effects. Remember when games used to run at 60 FPS on a potato? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Back in 2016, a Computer Science degree was basically a golden ticket—ornate, prestigious, and practically guaranteed to land you a cushy job. Fast forward to 2026, and that same degree is just... there. Duct-taped to reality, barely holding on, looking significantly less impressive. The job market went from "we'll pay you six figures to center a div" to "you need 5 years of experience, three side projects, and a viral GitHub repo just to get ghosted by recruiters." The degree didn't change—the world did. Now everyone and their grandma can code (thanks, bootcamps and ChatGPT), so that fancy CS diploma is competing with self-taught devs who built an entire SaaS in their basement. The contrast is brutal: from majestic carved dragon to regular dog with a backpack. Still a good boy, just... not as mythical anymore.
