Every time I feel good about my work, Youtube commenters find a way to take me down a notch. One recently questioned how it took me ~8 months to implement NPCs that don't even have relationships, can't impact the environment, and don't have an economy. Like, yeah, what a loser, couldn't simulate a fully functioning human society in 8 months 😆 (Pic unrelated)

@vuntra_city Assuming they aren't a drunk teenager for a moment, I do feel that there are a lot of fairly performative coding videos on youtube that can lead the naieve to assume that the gap between imagining something, and actually implementing it is quite narrow / non-existant.
@toerror Drunk teenager or a delusional vibe coder? You never know these days.
@vuntra_city I was seeing comments from people on youtube ten months ago saying that people were "regularly vibecoding entire games", so possibly both ;-)
