I just built a PC, went for 16 GB RAM. To me that's a good amount. Prior to this I used 8 for the longest time. And I'm a Unity programmer and gamer.

However, about 50% of /g/ posters seem to say this same thing:
>d00d RAM is dirt cheap these days why wouldn't you get at least 64GB dude it's just so cheap I mean it's laughably cheap---
>here, check this link, you can get more RAM for only $149

What you guys don't get is that 150 bucks for fucking memory isn't "nothing" to me. Fuck, most of my computers have cost that much.
You guys are 20-year-olds, right? You're still high on your first job and don't seem to understand that life is not a competition in who gets sucked in by capitalism the most. Your RAM isn't your penis size, anon. What you don't understand is that if you keep spouting that "just buy more, memory is dirt cheap, bro" bullshit, your Firefox tabs will consume 1 GB per tab before you know it.
Have you ever stopped to think about the absurdity of our situation? We've been here on 4chan, this same website, since 2008 posting text and heavily compressed jpg images. This same action used to require under 2 GB of RAM. Now Mozilla and other corporations are telling you that posting text on a php image board from 2008 requires your goy ass to get new parts every year. The experience never improves, only your pc does.

>8gb
Hey gramps get with the times
