Back When We Used To Be A Proper Civilization

Oh, the TRAUMA of modern OS interfaces! Look at that gorgeous Windows 7 start menu in all its organized, logical glory - before Microsoft decided we all needed to suffer through tiles, hidden menus, and updates that reorganize your entire digital existence without permission!

Remember when you could actually FIND things without having to perform a sacred ritual and sacrifice your firstborn to Cortana? When settings weren't buried seventeen layers deep in a UI designed by someone who clearly hates humanity?

Those transparent Aero effects were the PEAK of human achievement, and I will die on this hill! Modern Windows is just a dystopian hellscape where every feature you love disappears with each update. THE HORROR!

The Great Gaming Wait Of 2026

The PC gamer staring longingly through the blinds at console players getting GTA 6 first is just *chef's kiss* painful accuracy. That May 26, 2026 date might as well be etched on our tombstones. Nothing quite captures the essence of PC gaming like watching console peasants get early access while we sit in our expensive gaming chairs surrounded by RGB lighting that cost more than a PS5. But hey, at least we'll get the game when it's properly debugged... in 2027... maybe.

How Do You Do, Fellow PowerShell Programmers

When you've copy-pasted enough Stack Overflow solutions to make PowerShell bend to your will, but have absolutely no idea what any of those $_ variables or pipe operators actually do. You're just one Get-Help command away from being exposed as a complete fraud, but hey, as long as the script runs without crashing the production server, you're technically a "PowerShell programmer"... right? Right?!

Can You Work On Weekend

The classic PM-to-developer exchange: "Hey, we need this feature done asap, can you work over the weekend?" followed by the developer's response—a person in Windows 95 merch giving a thumbs up that screams "absolutely not" in every possible way. Nothing says "your poor planning isn't my emergency" quite like a passive-aggressive thumbs up from someone who's already mentally logged off until Monday. The ancient art of appearing supportive while silently updating your resume.
