Hi, I am trying to kick my videogames addiction
As a g*mer, I cannot fully support this goal but I'm still wishing you the best of luck in your endeavor
I did that by becoming a game dev lol
how fast did you learn to code? Did you go to uni for it?
2 years in generalist game dev studies, a bit of everything, 2D & 3D art, programing in C# with unity as a game engine, small game proyects, so many programs for everything etc.
I didnt find it difficult, but Ive always been a computer nerd so idk
I still dont know how to properly program stuff as thats not really my expersite, I mean that I know how to get things done but im sure its not very eficient.
Then another year of a master in 3D art (no programing here), now I can do some shit like this.
Whelp, I spent years trying to learn arabic in a not really useful environment til I threw a sizeable amount of money at a specialized course and it works now. I could try art now that I have time to do other things, but it might be too close to g'ming and reactivate the addiction clusters, idk
In case it helps you, I found it the opposite, now that I have more knowledge about how games are made, I see so many of them as just pure repetitive consumerist trash, so I only end up playing the really good ones that really get my attention, and overall spend much less time playing.
I think I will just master arabic as good as I can, that is probably already a pretty big fucking task that will keep me busy forever
Oh, my friend just picked up a drawing tablet, seems like I will spend my evenings like that
