@nprofile1q... Yeah, since last year I haven't had much if any work (I used to be the unity dev at a previous place before the firm decided making ai rewrapped as tools was the future.) If it wasn't for my understanding parent and their home, me and my brother would be out on the street. Between rent pricing and jobs vanishing, it has been extremely discouraging.
We have been striking out on our own to dev stuff.
I try to remember USA includes the "us" part. And I try to keep hoping, keep creating.
