sometimes I feel like I know what I'm doing, if you can believe that

but whatever, it's cool, of course

but the gamedev is programming, and answering on a Q&A site is volunteer work, and so few people are willing to put time and post a usable answer that such questions are best answered by random somewhat similar blog posts by enthusiasts, but not here

I get it, gamedev doesn't get much traffic, but this seems to be a rather simple question for someone who knows the answer

an example of a questions of mine without a good answer lol

well, "just", but you know

this was the goal from the start, and for now work has been just an intermediate step to keep the lights on and some emergency savings to keep me calm about it

but personally I'm working on not having to work for anybody else anymore, so I don't have to think about things like that

I feel like if you start doing more than your current position's description entails, it's time for a raise and the job title change

(yay but feels kinda lonely on this internet website with so few upvotes of good content on seemingly big sites with lots of visitors)

that's how my manager does it, I love reading their business emails

@DJPirtu you can essentially "make them" take more action by acting as an analyst and writing a crap ton of questions to specify exact solutions to predictable problems you can already foresee from your experience, basically making them do more research now, or see this list of questions, think "ughhh" and tell you "just do whatever your experience says is best" and pick the easiest/best route you want

these random questions, who cares honestly

do what you enjoy in life

@DJPirtu I've got some questions to which I don't think anyone will ever find an answer I'll find satisfactory, even if it is fair or reasonable in an objective way, so whatever

reading workplace questions always feels somewhat alien, because I never worked in a "real" corporation before, nor do I plan to ever

but also makes it feel like if the people under you know these things, maybe they deserve to be on par with you in the corporate hierarchy

like, you know, friends?

read this comment and thought: wow, you can actually like use your position as a manager to ask your crew for their opinion and input on the project's direction and actually very likely learn the better ways to solve a problem

ye they added this stuff after I stopped asking questions frequently and I see how it can be trippy the first time around

proportions/scaling

@Derpy interesting facial feature sizing

bookmarked this channel too, juuust in case

@ahiijny this is nice but also I've had like 20 bookmarks for various anime short vids since like 2014 which I never visited, which I think I should rectify sometime next year

ded did it do

it did do died

I did do have internet connectivity issues coz my router died around that time so I guess it makes sense

idk I guess I've been playing bugged half the time with paimon out

apparently it's a bug

@Derpy I thought she's always visible?

(thanks for coming to my cat talk)

so maybe I'll be able to read reddit threads for a loooong time before it starts feeling like "I've seen everything" again

I keep thinking "when will I start feeling like I've read all the comments there are" but maybe this time the medium is not subject to the same limitations as books and movies

now I've been reading internet comments, which don't seem to follow the same limited patterns as published books or filmed movies seem to be limited to

I used to watch 2 movies a day from the top imdb list and rated above 8.0/10 in my uni years, but having watched about 2000 titles I thought I've basically seen most interesting movie types, and the plots of the more interesting ones stopped surprising me, and it started feeling not worth my time anymore, so I returned to sci-fi (audio) books for a couple years next. Which also lasted only a few more years and now I can't bring myself to read anymore coz I think I've read enough books.

@ahiijny I would suggest trying to figure out if there is something that truly brings you more enjoyment/relaxation than those things, so you can feel less anxious about potential fear of missing out on the old things you used to like more, knowing that you now enjoy other things better

I don't have a solution for that, but I did notice this thought pattern, so that's a step

seems to be a common experience among people of a working age

I also have tremendously long plans written out vaguely but in enough detail to know it's gonna take a couple years to complete, so yea there's better things to do and I'm kinda afraid to let myself truly forget about both my money making work and my hobby/free time work coz "what if I won't be able to resume again"

saw a comic recently with 2 panels: 1) at work: can't work well until relaxed 2) on vacation: can't truly relax until all work is done

I've been browsing reddit a lot lately, but this "lately" has been going on for the last 3-4-5 years honestly can't remember how long

@ahiijny ah yes the 9000 browser bookmarks confirm

@ahiijny big same

@ahiijny it's also a privacy feature - doesn't let it do whatever to your pc state or steal data for marketing

stardew valley feels like it has a lot to offer, as do terraria and starbound

and yet where are such games
