Something I noticed: the terminal background that is being used in the gif at the top of this page is this one, titled "PC Gaming Master Race."[0]
The origins of the picture/painting comes from the long-standing meme that PC gaming is superior to all other forms of gaming, thus PC gamers are the "master race" of all gamers.
The photo depicts Gabe Newell (founder of Valve Software, a longstanding PC-game oriented studio) and imposing humans representing "PC gamers" standing atop a glowing city composed of PC gaming rigs. These "PC gamers", led by Gabe Newell, look down on the "unwashed masses" of all the console gamers as the console gamers rush to the edges of the city, trying to enter. Gabe Newell is extending a glowing hand as the console gamers reach out to join the "PC Gaming Master Race."
... Why did I just explain all this? ...
