The eternal computational arms race summed up in four panels! Scientists drool over fancy hardware specs (32 cores! 32GB RAM! 2TB NVMe!) only to use all that power for... visualizing a handful of atoms. The tiny molecular visualization on that monster rig is the computational equivalent of buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox. Molecular modeling software like VESTA is notoriously resource-hungry, but this is taking it to another level. Every computational chemist just felt personally attacked.
