Indie-games Memes

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.

When your budget is $0 and your team is just you staring at a computer for 18 hours a day, you tend to wear a lot of hats. Independent game developers don't have the luxury of specialized roles - they're the entire credits sequence rolled into one sleep-deprived human. "Producer, Director, Actor, Editor, Writer, Visual Effects, Creative" isn't a panel discussion - it's Tuesday. The rest of the week looks suspiciously similar, except with more coffee stains and increasingly concerning Google searches like "how to make game when no sleep for 72 hours" and "is it normal for code to appear in dreams."

OH MY GOD, THE INDIE DEV NIGHTMARE JUST GOT REAL! 😱 This poor indie developer thought they were being SO ORIGINAL with their Armored Core-inspired game, only to have FromSoftware drop AC6 and then MECHA BREAK with the EXACT SAME MECHANICS they spent years building! The emotional journey from "I can figure this out" to "OH NO THEY STOLE MY WHOLE IDENTITY" is just *chef's kiss* devastating. And that final panel? THE RCS SYSTEM IS 100% IDENTICAL?! That's not just getting sniped by the competition—that's getting your soul harvested by the gaming gods themselves! The indie dev market is truly the hunger games of programming, and this poor soul just got CANNONED.
