I Don't Need Math! I'll Just Make Videogames When I Grow Up!

The sweet summer child who thinks they can skip math and just "make cool games" is about to get absolutely demolished by reality. Game development is basically applied mathematics in disguise - vectors, quaternions, matrices, physics simulations, and collision detection algorithms waiting to ambush you like final bosses.

The bottom panels show the major game engines and graphics libraries (Unity, OpenGL, C++, and what looks like PhysX) literally laughing their logos off at this naive declaration. They're like "Sure buddy, good luck implementing that 3D rotation without understanding linear algebra or calculating that trajectory without differential equations!"

Game dev without math is like trying to build a skyscraper with popsicle sticks and wishful thinking. Those complex formulas on the chalkboard? That's just the tutorial level.
