Is this true, Jow Forums? I was delusional all this time?

if that is news to you, yes.
The slides don't go far enough.
Those always drop out in the first semesters though.
Now the "I wanna make my own videogame!" Crows. Those insufferable little bastards may stick around to the last semesters only to realize that the videogame industry pays terribly and they don't get to make their own CoD clone if they're working for someone else; so they end up looking for average IT and/or programming jobs while developing an unhealthy hate for their lives and computers in general.
[spoiler]I was one of those guys. ;-;[/spoiler]
I just want to make video game emulators and port console games and stuff
Also kinda want to get into computer vision but it requires a lotta math for digital image processing and stuff
"i wanna make video games!" might as well just be the male version of "i wanna pony!"
the reality isn't as fun and simple as your imagination
Even when it pays well the working conditions are atrocious. And this goes way back, ea_spouse was in 2004 and things haven't got any better since, AAA game devs are pretty much routinely expected to put in 100-hour work weeks for several weeks during crunch time nowadays.
Becoming an efficient hacker is a byproduct of becoming an expert in a fuck-ton of other things.
Learn how to program. Write a desktop app in language of your choice that can download and send tweets. Read a book on operating systems. If after that you're still interested, there's hope, keep going. 90% of people will have dropped out by that point.
Sure is summer
Wait, there were people who actually thought Mr. Robot was accurate? Holy shit, this board is dumber than I thought.
