Game Prices In 2025 Be Like

The eternal struggle of 3D artists who create beautiful models with shader complexity that would make a GPU weep. While they blissfully ignore the optimization viewport (notice that "Shader Complexity" tab up top), anyone who dares look at the profiler has an existential crisis. That MaxShaderComplexityCount=2000 at the bottom is basically screaming "your beautiful art is killing the framerate, you monster." It's like putting 47 Instagram filters on your selfie and wondering why your phone is hot enough to cook an egg.

The AUDACITY of our phones needing a charge! 💀 Meanwhile, we'll literally perform OPEN HEART SURGERY on our PCs - repasting thermal compound like we're Gordon Ramsay plating a filet mignon, vacuuming dust bunnies that have formed their own civilization, debugging software that's more temperamental than a cat, and installing 47 different drivers just so our RGB lighting syncs properly. But heaven forbid our phone battery drops below 20% and suddenly we're hurling insults that would make a sailor blush. The duality of tech devotion is SENDING ME.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of debugging sophistication. Why spend 20 minutes configuring breakpoints and stepping through code when you can just pepper your codebase with Debug.Log("asdfasdf") and watch the console like it's reality TV? Sure, your senior developer might judge you for not using "proper" debugging techniques, but nothing beats the raw efficiency of keyboard-mashing a string that stands out in the log. If it works, it works. And let's be honest, we all know which line hit when we see "asdfasdf" scroll by.

The EXISTENTIAL CRISIS of staring at two buttons labeled "Ray Tracing" and "Path Tracing" and having ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what unholy difference exists between them! 💦 Meanwhile, your GPU is SCREAMING in the background as you toggle between settings that might as well be labeled "Make Computer Hot" and "Make Computer SLIGHTLY HOTTER." The audacity of game developers to assume we know what these rendering techniques do beyond "pretty graphics go brrr" is just... *chef's kiss* MAGNIFICENT.

Behold, the pinnacle of game development: storing your entire storyline in a global array and using hardcoded indices to track plot points. Because who needs databases or state machines when you can just check if storyline_array[367] == 1 to determine if you've already done something? The real masterpiece is using instance_destroy() as your universal solution. Lunch with Fern? Destroy the instance. Already completed a task? Destroy the instance. Relationship problems? You guessed it— instance_destroy() . Meanwhile, poor Rhode gets the "Do Nothing" treatment. Clearly the developer's favorite character won the popularity contest. This code is basically the digital equivalent of writing your novel's plot points on sticky notes, scattering them across the floor, and numbering them randomly.

Remember when NVIDIA promised us RTX would revolutionize gaming? Fast forward to reality where we've gone from "RTX Hair" that just makes characters look like they haven't showered in weeks to "HairWorks" that completely overhauls physics but turns your $3000 GPU into a space heater. Meanwhile, the doge meme evolved from normal to buff while our framerates went from 60 to slideshow. Graphics cards marketing in a nutshell: "Sure, your game runs at 3 FPS now, but look at those gloriously realistic individual strands of greasy hair!"
