Meme aside, there is no justification for doing that. Even if I saved up my own money, I wouldn't get an extravagant hobby when others at home are starving. It's just asking for trouble.

A $1999 pc, sure. But not $2000! That's just too much.

I can grow food minecraft

That dollar could buy the family enough Ramen to avoid starving.

Gotta save the $1 so you can buy a box of pasta for the rest of the year.

Eh, the wife isn't starving either. Clearly the kids aren't trying hard enough

[–] schnensch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They should just stop being hungry. Easy fix.

Hey kids, you wanna try Minecraft IRL?

I've actually never seen this format before and I must say I quite like it.

Man I miss Shaun the Sheep

$2000 just for the GPU...

[–] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

At least it'll keep the place warm in the winter.

buy now, cry later

I loved Shaun the sheep

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Would have upvoted because of Shawn alone, otherwise with how GPUs are priced, 2k is worth a couple of hungry mouths

"This is an investment so I don't have to worry about replacing parts for the next 10 years!" - Me, reasoning with my wife

OMG, I'm splitting in half with the laughter! Thanks for this
