Nintendo Dont Sue Me For Copying The Dpcm Bugfix From Smb For A Nes Game I Made

Ah, the project graveyard – where dreams go to hibernate indefinitely. That folder structure on the right isn't just storage, it's a memorial to our collective optimism. We all start with "JUST MAKE IT EXIST FIRST" – that beautiful cyan circle of possibility – convinced this time we'll finish what we started. Then reality kicks in. That 3D spaceship model? That game engine experiment? That revolutionary app idea? All neatly tucked away in folders, waiting for the mythical "when I have time" that never arrives. The true skill isn't starting projects – it's finishing one before getting seduced by the next shiny idea. Meanwhile, our hard drives become digital museums of what-could-have-been.

The classic "scope creep" nightmare in its purest form! That eager indie dev is *this close* to shipping on schedule when suddenly that innocent little feature request sneaks up behind them. "Just a tiny change," it whispers, while secretly requiring a complete engine rewrite, asset overhaul, and questioning every life decision that led to this career. The sweat drop says it all - they know they're about to kiss that release date goodbye, but they'll still say "yeah, I can add that real quick" because apparently devs never learn.

When your boss asks why the game you're developing needs a $3000 graphics card: "For testing purposes, I swear!" The corporate world just doesn't understand that those extra 500 particle effects and ray-traced reflections are absolutely critical to the user experience. Sure, the gameplay is identical, but can you really put a price on seeing your character's reflection in a puddle at 144fps? Meanwhile, every game dev knows the real difference between these images is about 30 extra hours of crunch time and a graphics engine that will bring even NASA computers to their knees. But hey, those neon effects aren't going to render themselves!

THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY! Even the Hulk—THE HULK—is sobbing uncontrollably because Skyrim Grandma is saying goodbye! This is worse than when your production database crashes without backups! The green rage monster who can smash buildings is LITERALLY WEEPING over a gaming grandma leaving Skyrim. I'm not emotionally equipped for this level of devastation in my code OR my gaming life! 😭 The debugging process of my feelings has failed catastrophically!

The GPU upgrade cycle strikes again! On the left, we have the poor souls who panic-sold their RTX 4090 graphics cards before the 5090 launch, sitting in a dark, depressing cave view. Meanwhile, the smug gamer on the right who held onto their 4090 is enjoying a gorgeous sunset vista. Classic case of tech FOMO backfiring. Turns out the "free upgrade" to 5090 was just Nvidia's marketing department playing 4D chess with our wallets again. Those 4090s are still absolute beasts, and now the sellers are stuck with regret and probably a lighter bank account. The circle of GPU life continues: buy expensive card, panic when new one is announced, sell at a loss, repeat until retirement fund is depleted.

The sweet, sweet dopamine rush of getting those first 40 downloads on your passion project! That formal announcement energy when your GitHub repo finally gets noticed by someone other than your alt accounts. Game modders live for those metrics—each download representing a real human who thought "yeah, I'll give this random internet person's code a try on my perfectly functioning game." The elegant frog just makes it 10x funnier because that's exactly how you feel announcing your minor achievement in the Discord server where everyone else is sharing their 10k+ download milestones.
