The classic programmer's paradox: you grind through years of learning, land that sweet dev job with actual money, finally afford the beast gaming rig you've been dreaming about since your college ramen days... and then promptly have zero time to use it because you're too busy writing code that makes OTHER people money. Your Steam library becomes a digital graveyard of unplayed titles, each one a monument to your financial success and temporal bankruptcy. The gaming PC just sits there, RGB lights mocking you, while you're stuck debugging production issues at 10 PM. At least your laptop gets plenty of action though—just not the fun kind.
