News JVTech “Pray for me”: when I got home, this gamer met the worst nightmare of any PC player … but in his elevator
Coming home, a player fell face to face, in the elevator, with a well -known reference to all gamers on PC. A scene as familiar as it is unexpected, which offered him a beautiful fear … and many make the community laugh!
Imagine the scene: you go home after a long day, already dreaming when you can finally settle in your chair and start your game at the moment. You pass the door of the building, call the elevator … The doors open, and there, surprised: instead of the mirror or shiny stainless steel, a screen. Not just any: the famous blue screen of Windows, the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The one who sighs all users. This is exactly what an internet user discovered, who shared this unusual find on the forum r/pcmasterrace from Reddit.
An elevator in technical distress
This is the kind of image that can give a little thrill to the regulars of PCs. On the modest elevator control screen, usually reserved to indicate the floors or disseminate advertisements, a critical error appeared. The message, without detour, announced: ” Your PC needs to be repaired ».
A sadly familiar sentence for millions of players and workers, often associated with data loss, capricious components or, in the best of cases, with a forced restart in full game.
Seeing this warning in such an unexpected place is surprising. For this player, the reflex was immediate: take out his phone and immortalize the scene, not without a touch of fatalistic humor. On Reddit, he posted the photo with this legend: “I found it in the elevator of my apartment, pray for me”writes the Breadtoastyy user.
The community at La Récousse, between laughs and advice
It didn’t take more for the meme and ironic advice machine to the “PC Master Race” sets off. Far from being sorry, the other members of the forum reacted with the biting humor that characterizes them. The comments quickly flocked, transforming this unusual breakdown into a great moment of collective comedy. The most popular suggestion, a real pillar of computer troubleshooting, has arrived without surprise. A user, Economy_cut_1890, launched the famous:
Have you tried to turn it off and turn it on?
Another pearl of technical wisdom, proposed by another user, was going even further in jargon, suggesting with the greatest seriousness of the world of:
Try to enter the BIOS to activate the Secure Boot.
This situation, as comical as it is, recalls that our lives are increasingly dependent on on-board computer systems, sometimes as vulnerable as our good old office ordinators. From the display screen for train schedules to the advertising station, therefore, including elevators, it is often a version of Windows or Linux that turns behind the scenes. And who says operating system, says potential bugs. We can easily imagine the conversation between the trustee of the building and the maintenance technician, trying to determine if a simple Ctrl+Alt+Suppr will be enough to bring the elevator back to life.
For our player, one thing is certain: he will never take the elevator in the same way. And he may think twice before taking the stairs.
