Radio Paranoia posted:big same. if i could devote the effort i put into my work into a personal project i could probably figure something out but we just had a month where mrs paranoia's income was pure freelancing and it was a little touch and go without touching our long-term savings i have ideas but my brain doesn't handle constant work well--i need time after a workday to unwind and if i tried to write code in my downtime from writing code there's no way my mental health would be ok

bob dobbs is dead posted:"all you have to do is to make the 1200th most popular game on steam all time" not to mention the fact that people only buy the game once, sales are invariably gonna drop off over time. you might be able to go f/t for a few years on a game like that but it's not gonna set you up for life

Jonny 290 posted:do you wfh? I've started taking a 10-20 minute walk around the block after coffee/poo poo/clothes but before i look at Bad Screen. then i do the same at the end of the day. it seems to help a bit i recommend having a dog for this, it's nice to get out of the house to take him to the park in the morning and then go for a walk around the neighborhood after work

i have seen conveyor belts, actual boats, and also "boats" that are just decorative platters that look like boats that are carried to the table. the confusion is understandable
