Sometimes I wonder what the thought process behind the gaming aesthetic was. RGB (*if tunable) itself is fine and adds a nice opportunity for personalization, but are those tacky fonts, crystal-facet enclosures, and overall showiness just tasteless or do any gamers actually prefer that look?

Guilty as charged.

Edited to add, this is actually a slightly old picture. I have a white GPU now.

This is how I feel about gamers acting pretentious about RGB aesthetic. Neon tetra are sick. It's great they can enjoy minimalism, but let others enjoy RGB vomit. It's like the weirdest flavor of elitism.

But you're not enjoying your hard earned money or free time the right way!!
