That's Not A Boot Sequence, That's A Demonic Ritual

Nothing hits quite like a refreshing BIOS error with your slushie! That 7-Eleven machine decided to boot into the most terrifying screen known to PC users instead of dispensing frozen sugar water. The blue screen with error logs is giving major "your motherboard is about to become a paperweight" vibes. Imagine walking up for a Mountain Dew and getting served a kernel panic instead. That's not brain freeze—that's just your system freezing! Somewhere, a sysadmin is frantically trying to SSH into a slushie machine while muttering "I didn't sign up for this." Next time you complain about your deployment failing, remember: at least it's not preventing teenagers from getting their sugar fix.

You know you've found your people when someone casually mentions they manually uninstalled McAfee. That's not just a friend—that's a battle-hardened warrior who's stared into the abyss and survived. McAfee is basically the herpes of software: it comes pre-installed on your new PC, refuses to leave, and makes everything slower. The uninstall process is so notoriously difficult that John McAfee himself once made a satirical video about it. So yeah, if someone went through the seven circles of registry hell to purge this digital parasite, they deserve a medal and immediate friendship status.

That's the Portal cake logo with "The MSRP is a lie" repeated like a dystopian mantra. Graphics card prices haven't been this fictional since cryptocurrency miners were building rigs in their mothers' basements. Manufacturers slap on MSRPs that belong in fantasy novels while retailers mark them up to "market value" – which is corporate speak for "whatever desperate gamers will pay." Nothing says "modern computing" like needing a second mortgage for a GPU that'll be obsolete before you finish paying it off.

The evolution of gaming platforms perfectly captured in three stages of corporate desperation. Nintendo and Xbox started out hostile, screaming at you for daring to emulate their precious titles or even thinking about buying used games (because how dare you not pay full price twice). Then they pivoted to the subscription model grift, begging you to please subscribe because their "exclusives" are totally worth it. Meanwhile, Linux gaming just rolled up like the chad it is and said "do whatever you want, it's your machine." No DRM tantrums, no subscription guilt trips, just pure freedom. Proton and Steam Deck really turned Linux from "yeah but can it run games tho?" into "yeah it runs YOUR games better than your own OS." The irony? The platform that was supposedly "not ready for gaming" ended up being the most pro-gamer of them all.
