When some Gen Alpha kid in 2064 tries to explain Alt+F4 to you like it's revolutionary tech... Listen here, youngster. I've been refreshing browsers since before your parents were born. I've witnessed the birth of keyboard shortcuts, survived the IE6 era, and debugged code on dial-up.

The gaming backlog paradox strikes again! PC gamers threatening violence over waiting for GTA 6 while simultaneously ignoring their digital hoarding problem is peak irony.

The cognitive dissonance of having enough untouched content to last several lifetimes while acting like waiting for another AAA title is literal torture. Meanwhile, our Steam libraries silently judge us harder than any hostage-taker ever could.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAUMA of Windows API development summed up in one tragic epiphany! 😱 That moment when you wake up in a cold sweat with the horrifying realization that the documentation is your MORTAL ENEMY. It's like being told the cake is chocolate but biting into raisin instead! The poor soul tried using RIDEV_NOHOTKEYS flag with Raw Input because the docs SAID SO, only to discover what every Windows developer eventually learns through blood, sweat, and keyboard smashing - the documentation is where dreams go to DIE. It's not a bug, it's a feature...of the documentation itself! 💀

Five of these panels show the typical innovation S-curve where technology evolves from primitive (MS-DOS, Internet Explorer) to peak performance (Windows 95, Chrome).

Progress isn't always what corporate overlords want you to believe it is.
