Game Developers Pretend to Be Scientists

Text on the meme

STOP DOING GAME DEV • Computers are only supposed to be used for calculations • Years of advances in technology, yet no real use for GPUs except cryptocurrency mining • Want to waste electricity and computing power for a laugh? We have a tool, it's called Electron! • "Yes, Jimmy, I want to make a rogue-like game with a raytraced apple" - STATEMENTS DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY DERANGED Look at what game developers have been demanding your respect for all this time, with all the electronics and computers we build for them This is real computer science, done by real programmers ??? ?????? ????????? "Hello, I would like apples please" They have played us for absolute fools

What it means

A sarcastic poster contrasts supposedly serious computer science equations and diagrams with game-development code and a request to render a ray-traced apple. The punchline mocks programmers for using powerful computers and elaborate technology to make games perform trivial or absurd tasks.
