Early access Memes

Now I understand why this game's been in Early Access for a decade. The code's a beautiful disaster - global variables everywhere, hardcoded dialogue IDs, magic numbers, and enough switch-case statements to make a CS professor weep. My favorite part is the instance_destroy() call that just... nukes something when you've had lunch with someone? Classic indie game spaghetti where nothing's refactored because "it works, don't touch it." This is what happens when passion projects grow beyond their initial scope without architectural planning. The road to game dev hell is paved with good intentions and global variables.

Behold, the perfect visualization of showing your prototype to the world—a literal trash possum desperately trying to convince people to try its creation. Nothing says "I know it's rough around the edges but please just give it a chance" quite like a wild animal screaming from inside a garbage bin. The duality of feeling like your project is simultaneously your precious baby AND absolute garbage that you're weirdly protective about. That moment when you've spent 47 sleepless nights on your "revolutionary" game/app/website and deep down you know it's held together with duct tape and prayers, but you're still out there hustling like a garbage marsupial.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern game development! 😭 Remember when pre-ordering meant getting a COMPLETE game that actually WORKED on launch day? Now we're just paying full price for the privilege of being unpaid beta testers for a half-baked, bug-infested nightmare that will eventually be fixed in patch version 37.2.5... maybe. We've gone from happy, excited gamers to hollow shells of despair, clinging to the fading memory of what gaming used to be. It's like watching your childhood dreams get trampled by a herd of profit-hungry executives in Gucci loafers!
