@sinbad @glassbottommeg yeah, I tried to get into indie game dev in late 90s with the first Symbian phones, when the SDK was still assembly. IIRC the C/C++. I got a friend from US to back me up in a VC style, but I failed to deliver honestly. And I really consider that a blessing now :)

The older I get tho I feel like games may give a better way to express myself than for example demoscene… but it’s also hard to consciously step into an area that’s so oversaturated :/

@logicalerror @sinbad had same concerns, but figured anyone still actively using that place is immune to reason and doesn’t particularly care about truth, so why would I care? Even more true today.

@sinbad impulsive problem solving is a problem on its own :) like I am just trying to survive a discussion I got myself into that evolved from a team-level issue to the organizational level… and sure I solved it on that level too, but it’s draining. I wish I could just go back in time and tell a month-younger-me that not all problems need to be solved. That it’s ok to ignore some :)

@sinbad being abreast with political, but also technical - for a big chunk of my life I thought it’s a good thing, my strong suit. But I have arrived at same conclusion recently. Not sure yet tho if letting go is not a symptom of depression or actually a healthy good thing 🤷♂️
