The eternal duality of game development vs gaming in one perfect sketch! Game devs look at other games with jealousy and imposter syndrome ("that guy's game is way better than mine") while comparing their own work to a simple cake. Meanwhile, gamers view the exact same games with extreme binary judgments - either something is absolute garbage or it's the second coming of digital Jesus. The irony? Both are looking at the exact same products but through completely different psychological lenses. This is why game developers need therapy and gamers need... well, also therapy.

The classic programmer bedtime ritual: say goodnight to your partner at 11 PM like a responsible adult, then immediately boot up Geometry Dash the second they fall asleep. Because nothing says "healthy work-life balance" like grinding through impossible platformer levels until the birds start chirping. The progression here is beautiful—midnight hits and they're still going strong, by 3 AM they've entered the zone where time becomes meaningless and muscle memory takes over. Meanwhile, their partner is peacefully dreaming, blissfully unaware that their significant other is one failed jump away from throwing their mechanical keyboard through the monitor. Fun fact: Studies show that 87% of programmers have convinced themselves that "just one more level" at 2 AM will somehow improve their debugging skills the next day. Spoiler alert: it won't, but at least you'll have sick reaction times during your morning standup when you're running on 3 hours of sleep and pure caffeine.
