Okay, from my eyes (not playing video games):

"A display resolution is good for heating my house"

"There are Gamers that are more hardcore than you, dropping more than forty pro-gaming hours in pikmin for as we speak."

I can only guess that there is a group of people that's more hardcore (???) because they're getting paid to play?

"On what is essentially a decade old NVIDIA gimmick tablet"

Now that I have googled, the meme probably talks about the Nvidia shield? That is likely considered inferior to a tower in the gaming community? And the gist is, that people whose job it is to play, use these.

"And you are telling me you need a 1000 watt Power Supply Unit."

And this is where I'm completely lost. Maybe people claim they need a good Power Supply Unit to be able to go pro? But wouldn't that be more like a GPU or something?

Extra context to the other reply: the switch uses a version of the same APU used in the Nvidia Shield.

translated: "People are happy playing the nintendo switch for days on end and yet you claim you need the beefiest possible PC to enjoy games at all"

and the title is about how higher screen resolutions require more computer power, which generates more heat.
