Brute Force Over Brainpower

The ultimate flex in computing isn't fancy algorithms or clean code—it's getting Doom to run on literally anything with a circuit board. The iconic FPS game has been ported to calculators, printers, ATMs, and probably your smart fridge by now. It's basically the "Hello World" of hardware hacking, except with demons and shotguns. Those little cacodemon sprites at the bottom perfectly represent the gleeful chaos developers feel when they manage to cram a 1993 game into yet another device that has absolutely no business running it. Because in the world of tech, the question isn't "can we?" but "why haven't we yet?"

When your code review gets a perfect score for being absolutely terrifying. That's not a bug report, it's a trauma report. The reviewer gave it seven hearts because they're still alive to write the review, which is more than we can say for their sanity. Legacy codebases should come with this exact warning: "If you're a fan of spaghetti code, give it a shot. If you value your mental health, stay FAR away."

The same energy as waiting for framework updates instead of using the stable version that works perfectly fine. My Steam library has 200+ games I've never installed because they were 90% off. What's another $4.99 for a game I'll "definitely play someday"? Meanwhile my IDE license renewal at full price? Absolute highway robbery.

The ETERNAL DUALITY of a programmer's soul! On one side, we're embracing the elegant simplicity of established data structures like binary trees for problem-solving. On the other side, we're POSSESSED by the absolutely DERANGED delusion that we'll build an entire game engine from scratch—as if our weekends aren't already sacrificed to debugging semicolons! The audacity! The hubris! The inevitable 3 AM breakdown when you realize your "revolutionary" engine can barely render a square without crashing! Yet here we are, cycling between these two extremes like some kind of computational bipolar disorder. It's not a phase, it's a LIFESTYLE.

Frame-independent game physics is the hill many junior devs die on. Multiply all movement by deltaTime or watch your character zoom at light speed on a gaming PC and crawl like a snail on a potato. Skip this step and your boss will find you, and they will kill you. Not the crime mentioned in the meme, but an actual crime against humanity.

Ah, the CRUSHING REALITY of game dev fame! 💀 You pour your HEART and SOUL into creating immersive digital worlds, dreaming of being recognized for your artistic vision... only to discover your biggest fan knows you from writing that ONE spicy novel they keep next to their toilet! The absolute BETRAYAL! This poor developer thought they'd be praised for their pixel-perfect animations or groundbreaking gameplay mechanics, but NOPE—they're immortalized as "that kinky book author" whose work was deemed too scandalous by religious authorities! The throne room placement is just the *chef's kiss* on this monument to professional identity crisis!
