Every single loving day when i come home this little frog just sits there and gives me this stupid look on his face. What should i do about him? Ideas?

i’m mostly thinking about what I want to do and achieve in my life and as much as I enjoy seeing what
I can make with a renderer, it’s also kind of a weird waste of time. like i’ll spend whole evenings and stay up till 2:30am, before having to get up at 6:20 to get kids ready and to school and me to work, just fiddling with a setting or trying out different colours or whatever, and well, why? three year old instagram account that has less than a hundred followers? either the world isn’t ready for a large variety nonsensical very-average-compared-to-contemporary renders, or the world doesn’t want it. I’m too poo poo for it to ever become a job like as a designer, and I dislike my day job enough that I really need to spend my time finding a solution to that like upskilling somehow or idk.

what I am trying to say is that rodtronics is pointless and time put into it is as well. imagine if the part of me that has seemingly endless energy for fiddling parameters and making renderings could be aimed at something that actually improves my life.

eh apologies for the emotional dump. i’ll probably continue to make poo poo because it’s a good escape but I’m can’t fool myself into thinking it’s toward something

this isn’t a bad thing.


yeah maybe

most people, myself included, only consume media. having a project you work on that creates something, even if it is just for you, is pretty cool IMO.

This.

I think if you enjoy making it, it is worthwhile.

But regardless, Binging with Babish was a guy who worked in the vfx industry and pivoted to cooking. Maybe the best way to turn it into a Job of sorts (if you want to do that) is to use it as a portfolio for either a digital arts course (where they will probably go over turning-into-a-business and stuff), or to a job posting you think will hire you.

Or you could go into mentoring, etc. by doing detailed writeups on how you make them. I think most people in Tech that are in the places they want to be, have kept blogs or logs or whatever that cover what they are working on and explain things, it's not my style (the activity of "making a post" for me is separate or whatever to whatever im doing at the time) but it doesn't mean it's not worth giving it a try.

building cyber rova seems like a thing you do so you can post it on r/cyberrigs but I can imagine once you’ve built it and you’re sitting down at your complete raspberry pi box, it dawns on you that you’ve based your personality around a computer than can’t do poo poo. but now you’re committed so you have to pretend like it’s great and then the rest of the community sees that and they themselves feel the same way but see others having fun so they think the problem must be with them, maybe if they had more usb ports they’d be happy with their cyber rig

and so the cycle continues. a tale as old as time
