>Currently studying CS at age 25 in the year 2026 because I want a stable high-paying career as a game developer at a video game company somedayAm I going to make it?
>>109563175junior here, be prepared for a long road of writing applications. I'm not a game dev but web dev/fullstack and I needed omething 150+ applications till I landed a job this year.
you will be replaced by a chinese AI that runs off a datacenter in Shenzhen powered by coal
>>109563175The number of job openings in the IT sector in 2026 is higher than in 2022-2025. /thread
>>109563175>studying CS at age 25No become electrician.
>>109563175You don't need a CS degree to make sloppy games in Unreal or Unity or Gyattdot.
we're all going to make ityou must understand that FUD drives social media engagement. what people say online about CS is not the whole truth. yes it will be hard but it's not impossible.
>stable high-paying career>video game development
>>109563175Get a real fucking job. CS is for faggots and women. Claude has already replaced youLearn a trade or a craft like a man
>>109563375t. neet
>>109563175i hope you are joking lmao, you are giga fucked
>>109563175>a stable high-paying career as a game developer at a video game company
>>109563175>studying CS in 2026>studying CS because gaymedev in 2026lmfao
>>109563175keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek this retard is studying cs in the big 26 KEKEKEEKEKEEKEI’m sure you’re going to transition soon.Nobody needs codetrans and cstrans anymore, we already have AI and we replaced you
>>109563175Be very, very good at math. Prioritize it. If you want to work in the games industry, they don't need game designers or gameplay programmers. They need engine programmers and graphics programmers, and you must have strong math skills to be good at the things they need.
>stable>high-payingpick one
>>109563175>as a game developer at a video game company someday>Am I going to make it?lmao no
>>109563175If you have to ask, you are not going to make it
>>109563263Wait until you need math calclus so your bullets behavior doesn't use the sloppy generic stuff from your engine. Cool games use custom engine with custom code.
I'm studying electronic engineering. how fucked am I?also, is a masters worth it?
>>109563829AI produce generic shit.
>>109563829Bad bot.
>>109563175>25>studying CS in 2026Should we tell him?
>>109563175>I want a stable high-paying careerstart maximizing soft skills now and maybe you'll make it
>>109563175you design new soccer game based your gameplay experiences in pro evolution soccer?
it could always be worse. you could be a math major like me, who is smart enough to do well in school but not smart enough to get a "math" job besides teaching (lol)
>>109568691have you tried learning excel and getting a job at some govt statistics department?
>>109563175>game dev>high paying>stableLiterally has not been the case since the 80's.Let's ignore the absolute generalized state of the market instead of the specifics of game dev.
>>109563238They aren't.
>>109569612He's probably not black enough for this. They don't give these jobs to white people.
>>109566980I was doing that at 13. Formal math education is a joke.
>>109563175self-study CS and switch to EE, thank me later.
>>109569801EE gets the shit pay so it's not ideal. But it's better than 300 applications and a university exam at every application that converts to an interview just to potentially get a salaried job you'll be expected to work 80+ hours a week OR ELSE at.
>>109563175Do cloud computing as your focus or switch majors
>>109563232>off a datacenter in Shenzhen powered by coalYou do know they're rolling out GW of solar every month? Hammering wind too...Those coal mines? They're powered by electricity. Commonly by panels on site. Got electric tonka trucks. Several sectors already getting end-to-end electrification, and it's rolling out faster than clearly you can keep up with... Wanna take a bet on china being the first superpower to eliminate coal from it's energy mix?>>109569813>Do cloud computingJust as everyone is realising that it's a bad idea to put something important into someone else's control and heading back to local. Good idea.
>>109569824Ching chang chong to you too chinky
>>109563263That right there is 90% of uni. Its not actually that difficult they just make it as hard to understand as possible(on purpose). If you ask gemini to explain you will have the whole semester learned in 2 days. I wish i went electrical engineering instead but chsnging now would be really stupid only 1 year left till master's
>>109569900AI answers are like those slick short youtube explaining videos.They gave you the feeling and dopamine hit of learning something but you didn't actually learn shit, you just fooled your brain into thinking it did.
>>109566980>calculus>computerskek stfu math schizo>derivativewe call that a "difference">integralwe call that a "sum"
>>109569900It's like the scene in A Serious Man.>I understand the physics. I understand the dead cat.>You understand the dead cat? But... you... you can't really understand the physics without understanding the math.
>>109563238>be bigkike>make 2000 openings 1700 of those are fake>the remaining 300 is reserved for indiansretardo
>>109569845This.This is why you fail at everything you do.Do you feel proud, yet?
>>109563175>currently studying oversaturated degree as a grandpa in the year of outsourcing and LLMs because I want an unstable low-paying gig as a junior game dev at a video game company that will hire prajeet x10 insteadDo yourself a favor and become an EE, ME or CE instead. If your degree ends in science and you aren't a 10000 IQ savant or non-whiteboy, you're going to become homeless.
>>109570171My degree ends in science and I am a 100000 IQ savant, but I still can't get shit despite the quantitative metrics showcasing the above.Everything, science or otherwise, is about whom you know, nothing else matters in 2026. Talent, achievements, technical skills, none of that even remotely matters.
>>109567000Most game code is generic shit. 90% of what makes a good game a good game is assets, writing, story and gameplay, and gameplay is usually just some previously existing gameplay glued together to form different generas or just edited to feel better.
>>109570734This i feel like assets is what makes a game good nowadays and you need a shitton.
>>109570734Most game code is very game-specific. The assets, writing and story are very largely generic. Gameplay is defined by code and is purely what makes a game good or bad. Bad games use cobbled together copy of previous mechanics. Good games universally use new gameplay mechanics and system, which is why most game code is unique.None of that shit is hidden knowledge, you could even google it (since clearly you've never made a game before, or talked to anyone who has).
>>109570913Anon you realise game mechanics are the same across the same genres??? There hanst been invneted new mechancis since 2010.
>>109569824China only generates about 8% of its energy via solar, Chang. They're ranked 55th in the world in terms of percentage of energy generated by solar. Even the UK ranks above them and they get no sun.
>>109570936If you are talking about what passes for games nowadays then I do agree with you, but that's because they aren't game, they're slop. It's not a question of the space being saturated or whatever either.
>>109569824you will not survive the apocalypse, bug
