You’ll need a processor powered by five hamsters, a graphics card made from 2000 tiny hamster brains, and a whole lot of hopium to run an upcoming zany side-scroller, according to the system requirements accidentally uploaded to Steam by one indie developer.
If those are theminimumsystem requirements then I dread to think about how many hamsters might need to be sacrificed to get the game running at peak performance. In fairness, at least a couple dozen hamsters are cheaper than most graphics cards, even if I’m not sure how to stuff the fur balls into my PC. Do they need an exercise wheel to generate power? Or is the process less, err, cute?
“I legitimately forgot I had this on my OS requirements when i sent it for Steam approval,” cerero admits in a recently viraltweet.
