Switching Engines Won't Magically Fix Incompetence

Switching Engines Won't Magically Fix Incompetence
The eternal game engine debate, featuring Patrick Star dropping truth bombs! The meme perfectly captures how gamers blame Bethesda's Creation Engine for bugs, while simultaneously claiming Unreal Engine games run poorly. Then the punchline hits - Oblivion was remastered with Unreal and still performed badly. The real mic drop: it's not the engine, it's the developers! No amount of fancy engine-switching will fix fundamental development issues. Reminds me of that junior dev who kept blaming our framework for his spaghetti code. Changing your hammer doesn't fix your terrible aim!

The Story Of A Slop

The Story Of A Slop
OMG the AUDACITY of game engines charging $99.99 for the privilege of turning your character into a mechanical octopus, only to have it run at a PATHETIC 24 FPS! 😱 The journey from "look at my cool tentacle arms" to "WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE AND LAGGING" is the quintessential game dev experience. First they seduce you with those shiny Unreal powers, then BAM! Your graphics card is screaming for mercy while frantically suggesting driver updates like that's going to save your dumpster fire of a project. The modern gaming equivalent of "it worked on my machine" - except your machine is now melting through your desk. Truly the circle of game dev life!

Game Dev Death Match

Game Dev Death Match
The epic showdown nobody expected: Old-school pirate-themed game engines vs. modern anime girl physics engines! Left side shows "THE STRONGEST GAMEDEV IN HISTORY" with a menacing skull pirate that ran smoothly on a Pentium II with 4MB of RAM. Meanwhile, "THE STRONGEST GAMEDEV OF TODAY" features a cute anime character whose hair physics alone requires a NASA supercomputer and makes your GPU beg for mercy. Your RTX 4090 isn't sweating because of ray tracing—it's calculating each individual strand of that anime girl's hair during a gentle breeze.

Why fix your spaghetti code when you can just demand players buy a $3000 gaming rig instead? Modern game development in a nutshell: "Can't run our unoptimized mess? Sounds like a YOU problem." Nothing says professional game design quite like shifting the burden of performance from talented developers to consumer hardware. Who needs efficient algorithms when you can just require 32GB RAM and the latest GPU that costs more than a used car?
