What amazes me is that this is not the April 1 video. From the concept to many aspects of this, it has that April Fool look and feel. And it's just over a month from that occasion.
thatd actually be hilarious, scoop out all the guts and put the water cooling in it too, so you just have a moderately sized pumpkin sitting on your desk with cables coming out of it.
"It was 'Big Potato' that made us put that in there." I literally laughed out loud. I took a moment and truly appreciated your work. That's pretty awesome! And hilarious!

It was hilarious how they talked about Basically Homeless in such hushed tones lol, they wanted the glory of a gaming potato for a decent amount of time.
