Laravel were the cool shit back then, but I don't get the appeal of overcomplicating PHP, for a webpage.

Doing simple POST in Laravel is unnecessarily complicated, compared to doing the same exact thing with plain PHP.

when I did PHP I worked on more complex stuff so it made sense to use something else than plain PHP
iirc in Zend Framework if you wanted to handle POST you just set up an action for it and it just worked :P
quasi mantle
Please don't justify Laravel that almost drove me to suicidal tendencies.

and set up an action was usually just a matter of adding a function for it into one of your controllers
Zend Framework got increasingly complicated in version 2, I never used it after v1

So much of the old art has to be retouched because the paints degrade. Not exactly poop related, but they likely never expected their art to last for hundreds of years and they would have used poop if it had a decent color.
Second, poop is used as in fragrances.

The year is 2041. Oligarchies are the new democracy. Automation for the 5 largest corporations lead to job losses and anarchy is the past-time of the unemployed.

Imposter syndrome is really creeping up on me the longer I feel burned out.

I really need to get into a quiet space and focus
@potent spadeimposter syndrome is more having skills but not believing you are skilled enough. Like when I talk to graphics programmers and think "I am but a lowly logic coder... what do I know?" Or when you hang out with studio game devs and you are still working on prototypes and not earning. It gets intense.

kinda, but in my case to charge the same in different way xd

Then I definitely have no idea because that'd be something more specific than just common English language stuff
A cursory search seems to indicate the it's really a legally dependent thing
based on billing in a particular jurisdiction
So, a negative invoice to cancel out the previous stuff... and/or a corrective invoice with whatever the appropriate thing is
cursive crypt
I say fire up a search engine and check what is the most likely that term. Then add a subscript that you have no freaking idea what you are doing.
light spruce
Basically, it'd be dependent upon billing and tax bullshit
Like, the US, you'd basically just do a new invoice where you credited anything that was already paid, and then make whatever changes were needed with whatever final amount would be owed for whatever goods/services all in the same one
If money hasn't been paid, it doesn't matter because it's just another invoice. If it has, and you can adjust it within a single invoice, I'd use "corrective" rather than "rectifying" because it's more plain language.

is it worth becoming a game developer or is it just slavery
that depends of a lot of facts

Recently my friends to me they don't see working much more at the companies they are as programmers (are web programmers)
The burn is real, despite they don't crunch but well 24/7 from home doing the same over and over since years ago

im choosing between studying computer science or mechanical engineer
and game development seems like a fun path if I study computer science
but idk
foggy path
if you have a strong fundamental understanding of programming you can pretty much choose what you wanna do
of course from a prospective employers perspective it looks better if you have relevant past experience and knowledge of relevant tools
but with good fundamentals you can easily switch if you feel like it

@foggy path so you mean like switch to an mechanical engineering career even though I have studied computer science
foggy path

mechanical engineering is an entirely different knowledgebase I suspect :D

Shocker, shocker, the old Shooter Game got major audio system reworking last year. 
Also Elemental demo opens with UE5, and worked with Lumen.
Sort of.
