    Sometimes being a graphics programmer involves looking at something in real life with a scowl, saying "Oh so YOU can get away with it"

    I feel like, if we saw this fence in a game, we’d be like “those reflections aren’t realistic at all”.

    Ads for games in the 90s were the absolute worst. You'd have a two page spread with no screenshots, someone making a stupid face, and a ransom-letter font saying "ArE YOu FuCKINg STUpID?", then a tiny little Yoshi's Island logo in the corner

    Programmer: We can do anything with code these days! Fully destructible environments. Impossible spaces that fold in on themselves. Entire solar systems! Artist: Cool! How do I make this slightly transparent object appear behind another transparent object? Programmer: *sobbing*

    Christ, I pulled Yoshi's Island out of my ass because it was the most wholesome 90s game I could think of, and the actual print ad for it is this shit-smeared monstrosity:

    I dunno what the fuck their deal was. Like even on TV ads, you were lucky if you got a whole second of game footage and not the worst sketch comedy you've ever seen Even as a kid I just wanted to see the fucking game and not some ad execs friends kid pretending to play a game
