Naming A Method At 5 AM

Ah, the eternal gaming platform war—where everyone's arguing over consoles vs PC when some lunatic throws "mobile is better" into the mix. It's like watching two professional chefs argue about gas vs. electric stoves, and then the intern suggests using an Easy-Bake Oven instead. Both console and PC gamers momentarily stop their religious war to share that rare moment of unity: pure horror at the mobile gaming heresy. Nothing brings enemies together like a common threat to civilization itself.

The ultimate recursive procrastination loop! This starterpack brutally exposes the indie game dev lifecycle with surgical precision. Instead of actually coding their game, devs spend countless hours making elaborate docs about worldbuilding, obsessing over engine choices, refreshing wishlists for dopamine hits, and watching YouTube tutorials they'll never implement. The "just write a book guy" with 50+ Google Docs but zero engine experience is painfully accurate. And that "thinking about a name for 2 months" hit way too close to home. Meanwhile, the "backseat dev" who thinks every problem is solved with "just add a shader" or "just add multiplayer" exists in every Discord server known to mankind. The imposter syndrome is real—nobody understands how much work goes into making a game until they've stared blankly at their code at 3AM wondering why their character controller is suddenly launching their protagonist into the stratosphere. And of course, there's always that one dev who buys every asset pack but never ships anything. The irony? Creating this starterpack was itself a form of procrastination. Meta-procrastination at its finest!

The eternal duality of game development vs gaming in one perfect sketch! Game devs look at other games with jealousy and imposter syndrome ("that guy's game is way better than mine") while comparing their own work to a simple cake. Meanwhile, gamers view the exact same games with extreme binary judgments - either something is absolute garbage or it's the second coming of digital Jesus. The irony? Both are looking at the exact same products but through completely different psychological lenses. This is why game developers need therapy and gamers need... well, also therapy.

The classic "idea guy" in game development strikes again! Nothing makes actual developers run for the hills faster than someone who's done all the "hard work" of coming up with an idea while expecting you to do the trivial part of... you know... actually building the entire game. It's like saying "I've designed a rocket ship on a napkin, now all you need to do is the engineering, physics, and actually launching it into space!" Sure buddy, let me drop everything and work on your revolutionary "Flappy Bird but with zombies" concept for free.

Nothing turns a peaceful gamer into a keyboard-smashing rage monster faster than 500ms of network latency. You're just calmly playing your game when suddenly your character starts teleporting around like they've discovered quantum physics, and then—BAM—you're dead because your perfectly timed headshot registered somewhere in the digital void between your PC and the server. The controller that was in your hand? Now mysteriously embedded in your drywall. Not because video games cause violence... but because that &%$#@ lag definitely does.

The absolute TRAGEDY of our time! Here I am, hands clasped in desperate prayer, staring at my screen with the emotional depth of a blank slate, BEGGING the GPU gods at Nvidia to announce that their 50-series graphics cards were just an elaborate April Fool's joke! But NOOOO! Those wallet-destroying monstrosities are ACTUALLY REAL! My bank account is already filing for emotional damages while I sit here contemplating if I need to sell a kidney just to render my pathetic little side projects. The audacity! The betrayal! And yet... *dramatically whispers* I'll probably still buy one.
