Showcase Memes

You spend six months building your indie game, write a heartfelt post about your journey, include screenshots, a trailer, and your soul. You hit submit with cautious optimism. Result: 1 upvote, 0 comments. The void stares back. The same subreddit where someone posted "I made Pong in Excel" got 47k upvotes yesterday. Your smile fades faster than your motivation to ever post again. The game dev grind is real, but the showcase post grind? That's a different kind of pain.
