  • Who cares :)

    From apam@21:1/151 to aLPHA on Wed Dec 1 14:48:18 2021
    I started a new BBS game project, this time in Lua! I typically flame
    out in the home stretch (always thinking -- no one cares, it's dumb,
    who will play it, etc.) but given it's a good excuse to learn more programming,

    I know how that feels, and I also feel like that a lot. I've been very
    lucky to have a few cool people pick up some of the things I've made, so
    that's always encouraging, but at the end of the day, you really have to
    do it because it's fun for you to do.

    If you do it for others, and lets say it becomes the most popular game in
    the world, you're then tethered to that and have to do updates and so on
    on something you don't really enjoy doing.

    Plus it's ok to have lots of unfinished projects. Lots of stuff you can
    revisit down the track if you feel like it later..

    100% agreed! It keeps me up at night, thinking about it. That's a good
    thing. Thanks, apam.

    Yep. :-) Planning to get back into building model cars sometime soon. We are having the floors replaced (out of neccessity, not vanity) and my wife has
    a 'she shed' for her hobbies (vinly cutting, t-shirt making, etc.). She's not
    a 'want to be alone' type person, so she wants me to have a corner in it. :-)
    I plan to start doing some model cars again and working on my Gaslands stuff. :-)

    Anyway - same thing - sometimes you get burnt out on one thing and have to drop it and do something else. And sometimes you need a simple thing to just get your focus back. :-)

    Umm... Okay? LOL - not sure what that has to do with it. :-)
