>be Carmack
>be the driving force behind id
>develop 80% of the tech used to power the games alone
>draw the sprites for wolfenstein, come up with the basic concept of DOOM, be heavily involved in the design of Quake (to the point where the game is named after your DnD character), etc. etc.
>go on to make the greatest competitive shooter of all time (Quake 3)
>invent numerous revolutionary computer graphics techniques, one being directly named after you (see: Carmack's Reverse)
>continue working in the games industry for 30-some years, making several well-received games in the interim, until fucking off to build rockets

>whore yourself out to every media outlet while smarter, more talented people are actually making the games, claiming you are le rockstar developer
>after contributing barely anything for years and blowing company funds on pizza parties and beer, you finally get fired
>try to start your own studio, release one of the worst FPS games ever made
>do literally nothing else for two decades
>to make ends meet, you go on podcasts talking about how you are actually the la creatividad of DOOM or something, and shout "trans rights" on a stream to insure that you get the support of men in dresses (your only fanbase, since you paint your fingernails black)
