This reminds me of a legendary thread in the forums of the German gaming magazine GameStar:
https://www.gamestar.de/xenforo/threads/world-of-warcraft-2.337502/
Me: reads the comment
Me: reads "German gaming magazine"
German
Still me: clicks the link and is disappointed when it's all in German
For some reason, I click it, and Google translated it for me?

Clearly adolescent folly. I too remember thinking making a video game would be very easy.
