Not Everyone Has The Hardware For That Many Frames

Nothing strikes fear into a developer's soul quite like inheriting a "vibe-coded" codebase. You know the type—written by someone who was "feeling it" at 2AM, fueled by energy drinks and hubris. No comments, variable names like magicNumber42 and iKnowWhatImDoing , and functions that would make Cthulhu weep. Just like Arthas from Warcraft deciding an entire city needed cleansing, sometimes the only rational response to legacy code is total annihilation. Rewrite from scratch? Absolutely justified. That's not technical debt—it's a technical crime scene.

The AUDACITY of JavaScript haters when Lua developers are RIGHT THERE! 😱 Lua devs sitting in the corner with their 1-indexed arrays and "nil" instead of null, nervously sweating and praying nobody notices their quirks while everyone's busy roasting JavaScript. It's like watching someone get away with murder while the cops are distracted by a jaywalker. The side-eye is INTENSE because honey, when your language is primarily known for Roblox and WoW addons, maybe don't throw stones from your glass gaming engine!

Ah, the beautiful delusion of "making a game for free." The meme shows the harsh reality waiting for naive game dev beginners. Sure, Unity's got a free tier and Blender is open source, but then Visual Studio crashes into the party and suddenly your wallet is crying. Not to mention the inevitable descent into the donut tutorial purgatory while learning Blender. Meanwhile, your sanity gets a funeral service after your 47th failed build. The "free" game ends up costing you your time, mental health, and probably that relationship you once had. But hey, at least you've got a half-finished game about jumping cubes!

The eternal struggle of graphics programming in six panels. Anyone who's dealt with transparency knows it's not just a technical challenge—it's psychological warfare. Alpha blending, z-buffering, sorting issues... one minute everything renders perfectly, the next your UI is showing through walls or your water texture looks like a portal to another dimension. And don't get me started on glass shaders. The number of times I've stared at a screen at 3 AM wondering why my transparent objects are rendering in front of opaque ones is frankly traumatic. Whoever said "just make it see-through" clearly never had to implement it.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of solo game developers! 💅 One minute they're drowning in a sea of basic coding errors that a toddler could fix, and the next they're strutting around telling friends they're "professional game developers." THE DUALITY! It's like wearing a designer outfit while your apartment is literally on fire. The confidence! The delusion! The sheer DRAMA of pretending you know what you're doing when your code is held together with digital duct tape and prayers! And yet, we stan a delusional king/queen. Because honestly, without that unhinged optimism, would ANY indie games ever get finished? I think NOT.

Rendering: the art of turning your $3000 gaming PC into a space heater while you stare at a progress bar. Non-3D folks will never understand the sacred ritual of watching an hourglass while your GPU screams for mercy. "I'm not doing nothing, I'm actively waiting for technology to catch up with my artistic vision."
