Add Capsule Collider

Remember when game devs hand-crafted assembly code to squeeze every cycle out of the PS2? Now they just throw more lights at the problem and hope DLSS will save them. Modern devs staring at their RTX 5090 wondering why their unoptimized mess runs like a slideshow. "But I added ray-tracing!" Yeah, and your grass simulation is calculating the aerodynamics of each individual blade. Maybe learn to write a shader that doesn't require NASA's computing budget.

Behold, the pinnacle of game development: storing your entire storyline in a global array and using hardcoded indices to track plot points. Because who needs databases or state machines when you can just check if storyline_array[367] == 1 to determine if you've already done something? The real masterpiece is using instance_destroy() as your universal solution. Lunch with Fern? Destroy the instance. Already completed a task? Destroy the instance. Relationship problems? You guessed it— instance_destroy() . Meanwhile, poor Rhode gets the "Do Nothing" treatment. Clearly the developer's favorite character won the popularity contest. This code is basically the digital equivalent of writing your novel's plot points on sticky notes, scattering them across the floor, and numbering them randomly.

That eye-rolling emoji perfectly captures the soul-crushing experience of indie devs trying to market their games. You spent 2 years building your masterpiece, and now you have to somehow convince people to care with a budget of exactly $0 and the social media skills of a hermit crab. "Please play my game" tweets into the void while Steam's algorithm yawns in your general direction. Meanwhile, AAA studios are over there dropping $50 million marketing budgets like it's nothing. The duality of game dev: brilliant enough to build complex systems, yet completely useless at telling anyone why they should care.

Childhood: "I'll make the next World of Warcraft but with better graphics and cooler weapons!" Reality: Spending 6 months debugging collision detection only to have your game downloaded by your mom and that one supportive friend who gives it a 5-star review despite never making it past the loading screen. The gap between gaming fantasy and game dev reality is basically the distance between "I'm having fun" and "I'm questioning every life choice while staring at a semicolon for three hours."

Oh, sweet summer child who thinks game development is just pressing the "make cool game" button! That facepalm moment when you realize that 3D graphics are basically advanced calculus wearing a trench coat. Unity, OpenGL, Autodesk, and C++ aren't just laughing at you—they're laughing geometrically in vectors and matrices. Every physics simulation, every lighting effect, every character movement is pure, unadulterated mathematics having a party on your GPU. The irony is exquisite—running away from math class straight into the loving arms of linear algebra, differential equations, and quaternions. It's like saying "I hate getting wet" and then announcing your dream career is "professional submarine captain."

Game developers know the pain. You spend hours optimizing your code, squeezing every last frame out of your game, when suddenly your own "brilliant" feature idea comes along and murders your performance in cold blood. Then you have the audacity to blame the engine! Classic developer self-sabotage at its finest. Unity gets a bad rap, but let's be honest—we're the ones adding particle systems that spawn 10,000 objects with real-time shadows while wondering why our game runs at 3 FPS. The duality of game dev: creating the problem, then being shocked when it exists.
