buyer's remorse and words of truth?

I wonder if you can properly use quaternions to setup your camera, FFT analysis (and other signals processing know-how) to design sound effects for your games or do that advanced calculus stuff to procedurally generate worlds. And how to use NURBS you probably knew since your birth. Ignorance is cheap.

Studying game development is fucking stupid.

Of course someone with a shitty major is going to say college isn't worth it. That's because they made the mistake of choosing a shitty major. Study computer science. Game development is not computer science. The probably teach you how to use RPG Maker and Unity, which is not going to teach you general computer science and software development concepts.

Actually, if you watched the video, he complains it was the opposite: they taught him math and C#, instead of teaching Unity and RPG Maker, and how to draw sprites in Photoshop. So in the end he had these lowly math skills and a huge debt, knowing nothing about making a game. TLDR: mathematics is a scam.

GAYME culture is horrible. This video struck me as "self-proclaimed lazy genius encounters reality" cope. Work ethic and humility enough to put in the necessary time are not just more important than "intelligence", they are mandatory.

I taught myself game development in my free time when I was studying computer science. C#? Only C#? No other programming languages? Holy fucking shit. I learned about half a dozen programming languages studying computer science.

And using Photoshop? Wow, that degree is worthless.

And there is literally nothing wrong with math.

But allow me to elaborate. His degree sounds shitty, but that doesn't mean he should say all degrees are shitty or worthless. Clearly a dumbfuck who studied fucking game development is going to realize that it's worthless. But he didn't study computer science and he doesn't know how fucking amazing it is to learn all that shit in university.

Yeah, some people are "self-taught" but then they don't even know what they don't know. They don't get opportunities for internships or joining extracurricular clubs where you meet up with people and write apps together.

College is great, but only if you study something useful.

Lastly: there's much more interesting stuff in computer science than just >hurrdurr vidya gaems. It's very immature to only be into games and not other cool fields like machine learning or natural language processing or mobile app development or information security. Computer science is fucking amazing.

>tfw people still think learning obsolete but tangentially related crap in a group is the best method for anything computer science related.

Obsolete? What's obsolete? You do know CS curriculum gets updated, right?

1.Its outdated meme knowledge like your SICP.
2.Its taught to a group, which is factory method of education.
3.It has little to do with actual programming.
4.It puts you into debt with student loans.
5.Its not reinforced by practice, like actual programming and is forgotten fast.

How many shekels they pay you to promote Lisp and dysfunctional academic garbage?

That guy makes a ton of money, running IT business with PHP and the shit, outsourcing most of the stuff to 3rd world niggers, so he has a lot of time to make videos, while you're wasting it learning Category Theory, believing it will help you to score with a cute Japanese girl.

My college doesn’t use SICP. That’s just an ancient meme tier book. Lisp is useless.
2.Its taught to a group, which is factory method of education.
Groups are important. No man is an island.
3.It has little to do with actual programming.
I have done lots of actual programming here. Pretty much every single core CS class.
4.It puts you into debt with student loans.
Life costs money, but there is a high ROI for a useful degree.
5.Its not reinforced by practice, like actual programming and is forgotten fast.
There is plenty of practice here.

You have strange misconceptions about CS in university. Sour grapes?

Everything but JavaScript is obsolete and useless.

Not only that, but if the JS framework you're using is more than a year old, it's obsolete. Gotta learn the newest one. Seems like a new one comes out every second. You could google pretty much any word followed by "JS" and you'd find a framework or library.
meme.js

anime.js
http://animejs.com/
dankjs
https://github.com/dgcoffman/dankjs
lolcatjs
https://www.npmjs.com/package/lolcatjs

But, of course, there's not just one JS. There's ES5, ES6, jQuery... so many different ways to reinvent the same shit.
