Somewhere between the third RGB fan controller and the fifth “tactical” keyboard profile, gamers stopped building computers and started summoning Care Bears.
Every rig now looks like it’s one unicorn short of filing for Pride Parade permits.
You ask for performance and they give you:
Meanwhile the CPU is thermal throttling because it’s busy rendering a bisexual aurora borealis inside a fish tank.
Gamers swear RGB doesn’t affect performance, yet their PCs consume more watts lighting up like a Vegas chapel than running the actual workload.
Somewhere, a serious workstation is whispering:
“I was built to compile… not to be seen from space.”
If your computer needs a color profile and a coming-out ceremony, it’s no longer a machine — it’s a lifestyle brand.
Turn the lights off.
The packets can’t see you anyway.
