Release Date Roulette: Indie Dev Edition

Ah, the eternal graveyard of half-finished projects. That last panel perfectly captures the existential rage when someone suggests you actually complete something instead of starting yet another shiny new endeavor. The audacity of suggesting we confront our digital skeletons! Making a game or learning SQL? Those are just future abandoned projects waiting to happen. But finishing what we started? That's the real horror story. The developer's GitHub is basically a cemetery of repositories last updated 3 years ago with commit messages like "initial commit" and "will finish tomorrow."

Ah, the eternal struggle of PC gamers waiting for the perfect discount. If it's not at least 90% off, might as well be full price. We'll just stay in bed, refreshing Steam every 8 minutes, waiting for that sweet indie game to hit rock-bottom pricing. Because paying $3.50 instead of $0.50 for a game we'll play for 200 hours is clearly financial irresponsibility.

Ah yes, the classic LinkedIn tech post where someone claims Fortnite was built with C++ and Minecraft with Java—technically correct! But then there's the masterpiece known as "MOHBGS"... which doesn't exist. It's the perfect representation of those LinkedIn "experts" who confidently list technologies they've never touched and games they've never played just to appear knowledgeable. The digital equivalent of nodding along in meetings when you have no idea what's being discussed. Resume padding has evolved into an art form!

This meme is peak programming comedy gold! It shows C# getting a "Gen Z makeover" where traditional programming keywords are replaced with Gen Z slang. The left side shows boring old code with standard syntax, while the right side transforms it into a linguistic dumpster fire with "highkey", "lowkey", "vibe_check", "its_giving", "no_cap", "big_yikes", and even "yeet" replacing proper programming terms. What makes this hilarious is how it perfectly captures the absurdity of trying to make programming "cool" for younger generations. Because nothing says "how do you do, fellow kids" quite like replacing "catch(Exception e)" with "find_out(Tea t)" and "throw" with "yeet". The code would be utterly incomprehensible to actual programmers but hey, at least it's "giving" maximum chaos!

Remember when you could buy a graphics card without taking out a second mortgage? The "expectation" shows a humble GT440 from 9 years ago - probably cost you a reasonable $100 and could run Minecraft without setting your desk on fire. Fast forward to "reality" and we've got a monstrous GTX 1080Ti that costs more than some used cars and requires its own nuclear power plant. The best part? Both cards are equally impossible to find in stock. The crypto miners got the new ones, and your weird cousin who "builds gaming PCs" hoarded all the old ones.

OH HONEY, NO! Sweet summer child thinking that shipping your first game means you've "made it" in development! The silence in that last panel is the DEAFENING REALITY that your coding journey has only JUST BEGUN! 😭 That first release is literally just the tutorial level before the REAL boss battles begin - maintenance, user feedback, bug fixes from hell, and the soul-crushing realization that your code will now haunt you FOREVER. Welcome to development purgatory, darling! The grind doesn't end - it just puts on a different outfit!
