Why is it always the sperm and never the egg?

Because the man's seed carries life while the women's womb is literally dirt. /s

The egg is the container of nutrients. The "house" with a fridge of infinite food, etc

My kid was conceived via IVF. I literally have a picture of him as a 5-day-old blastocyst. (ok I can't help being pedantic and pointing out that I think it would be more accurate to consider the embryonic disk as the true "here is me when I was little" precursor as the zygote/blastocyst develops not just into the baby but into the whole amniotic sac. But whatever).

if my parents had a pic of me as blastocyst, I would find that very cool! you're lucky!

You mean it’s an old pic of half of you?

Here's an old pick of me.

Is it, though?

Yes it is. I've played Warframe on console (native PC title). It has a cursor and shitty uneven menus. Which means, I don't play Warframe on console anymore. War Thunder has the same problem but they allow you to use the PS4 controllers touchpad as a mouse, so its not that much of an issue.
