@nprofile1q... reminds me of this comic ... I feel like the full time academic load leads to the behavior by making students split time between coursework to maximize grades.

@nprofile1q... Even your parallax cloud demo looks complicated to me so no judgement here.

I guess I was wondering why your racing game was too complicated that it needs to be put on the back burner. I get time and energy and wanting to feel progress.

So what are you planning to replace it with. From the post, it sounded like one core implementation for each game. So what core thing goes with what game? And do you find that game fun to play and fun to work on.

@nprofile1q... I liked watching the progress you were making, but I definitely get the feeling of biting off more than you can chew. I'm not a game dev, but the two questions I have are what skills are you looking forward to learning? And do the kind of games you want to make have any overlap with what you want to make?

I also remember hearing/reading someone saying that you should make the simplest version of the core game play you can to see if it is fun. That resonated with me for a lot of things.

@nprofile1q... first of all I agree with everything you said. Second, did they miss the part that you aren't in the US and read the content/context of what you wrote? Baffling.

@nprofile1q... I certainly get the old Internet vibe. It'd be nice if there was an agreed upon tag like instead of auto-delete, if someone is preserving, switch to private dm.

Or self hosting and then modifying to not honor self deletes where you've interacted. But that feels a bit scummy.

@nprofile1q... when I lived in Prescott, Arizona, we'd get summer monsoon thunderstorms every afternoon and amazing sunsets to follow. Do you get those too?

@nprofile1q... I've had a wasp fly into my jersey and get me a couple times. It's a terrible experience. Sorry you it got your finger .. sounds way worse than in the chest

@nprofile1q... I think a happy place that brings comfort can be a helpful balance. It took me a long time to give myself permission to not make everything about performance and achievement. I still struggle with it tbh, but life can be richer when you can appreciate the full range. And honestly, as far as indulgences go, it is really cool you find it in godot.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... so Oedipus is out but what about Sisyphus?

@nprofile1q... forgot about chrome... It just stays black screen

@nprofile1q... Also Pixel 9 Pro. Firefox also worked fine.

Duckduckgo browser got this
