Summoning Demons Is Easier Than Cloth Physics

The ultimate betrayal for any Rust evangelist: discovering your favorite game or tool isn't actually built with the language you've been preaching about for years. That wide-eyed cat perfectly captures the existential crisis of realizing you've been living a lie. "Memory safe? What memory safe? I've been recommending IMPOSTERS this whole time!" The Rust community in a nutshell - simultaneously the most enthusiastic and most disappointed group in programming. They'll tell you Rust is the solution... right until they find out it wasn't the solution this time.

The AUDACITY of thinking anyone would pay for your passion project! There you are, pouring your SOUL into crafting pixel-perfect gameplay while dressed as a literal clown. 🤡 The indie game dev dream: spend 5,000 hours creating your masterpiece only to sell exactly THREE copies (two of which are your parents). Meanwhile, some kid makes a game about a screaming goat and becomes an overnight millionaire. THE INJUSTICE! But you keep coding anyway, rainbow wig firmly in place, because what else would you do with your tragic existence? At least the circus has good benefits!

That moment when your roommate's forgotten meat perfectly resembles the low-poly nightmare fuel from 90s PlayStation games. The texture mapping is spot on - 256 colors of pure horror. Probably has the same shelf life as those games too... measured in decades. Just waiting for it to T-pose and clip through the refrigerator wall.

Game development in a nutshell: level designers toss narrative designers a chaotic mess three months before launch, then casually say "make it make sense." Meanwhile, narrative folks are just stock market traders screaming internally "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CHANGED THE LEVEL? WE RECORDED THE DIALOGUE YESTERDAY!" The true art of game storytelling is retroactively justifying whatever random level elements the designers decided to throw in at the last minute. It's basically professional fanfiction writing under extreme duress.

Oh, nothing screams "professional codebase" quite like opening your source code to the public and having every single comment be an existential crisis wrapped in profanity. Someone named Garry is having a COMPLETE meltdown in the comments, questioning the very fabric of reality with gems like "why the fuck does this exist" and "this is fucking disgusting." Meanwhile, we've got warnings about not storing destroyed instances "for fuck sake," path comparison methods that are apparently a cosmic joke, and buffer sizes set to absolutely unhinged values because, and I quote, "fuck it, let's set these to insane values." The cherry on top? A beautiful Log.Error("Fucked"); followed by a return statement. Not "error occurred" or "operation failed"—just straight up "Fucked." That's the kind of raw, unfiltered honesty you get when developers think their code will never see the light of day. And now it's open-source! The transparency we deserve but definitely didn't ask for. 💀

THE ABSOLUTE COSMIC INJUSTICE of coding existence! ✨ Regular workdays? Moving at the speed of continental drift. But the SECOND a game jam deadline appears on the horizon—SUDDENLY I'M THE FLASH INCARNATE, violating the laws of physics and typing at speeds that would make my keyboard burst into flames! 🔥 It's like my brain has TWO settings: "tortoise mode" for the 40-hour work week where each line of code takes approximately 17 years to write, and "SUPERHUMAN CODING GOD" for those 48-hour game jams where I somehow create an entire functioning game while surviving on nothing but energy drinks and sheer panic! The duality of developer existence is TRULY the greatest mystery of our profession!
