For me it’s always, “this is hacky as shit, but it works, and nobody will ever see it but me.”

I can’t be expected to research every individual in every band I listen to. That’s hundreds, possibly thousands, of musicians.

I recall Bastion winning GoTY from some major publications.

I hate the forced Chromatic Aberration. Photographers spend thousands of dollars on lenses to minimize the effect. Meanwhile, devs just slap it on games without any way to disable it without mods (which they’ll ban you for if you use them online).

I’ve had VLC struggle with high-res videos from my phone, particularly if I’m seeking and replaying a bit.

edit: It may have also been high frame rate.

For those who don’t get it, it’s the “stop doing science” meme.

To be fair, game devs did the hackiest shit to deal with the constraints of the time. They did things that no programmer would do today because they’re bad practices when you’re not worried about tiny amounts of RAM or storage.

Nothing will ever match the feelings when you were young and things were new. It’s easier to accept that than face the constant disappointment trying to recapture it.

The title of Engineer is heavily protected in some countries. You’d get the title of Developer or Analyst or something along those lines.
