Fake FPS Counter Fix
The publisher of the PS2 game I was working on threatened to pull funding if the game didn't maintain a steady 30fps. It ran at 20 at best. We couldn't optimise it any more so eventually just wrote some code that added 10 to the FPS counter. They were happy, game shipped on time
A screenshot-style post jokes that a PS2 game could only run at 20 frames per second, so the developers altered the FPS counter to add 10 and make it display a steady 30. The punchline mocks misleading performance metrics and the publisher’s satisfaction with a cosmetic fix.
