Faux-IT guy for friends and family. I’d say I’m an “advanced hobbyist” but charging for it/making it a job? No way. Especially not with ADHD. I pick up and drop projects too readily. I couldn’t work in an environment where I have an obligation to fix things I don’t feel like dealing with as opposed to tinkering and creatively helping folks when I feel the energy to.
Also standup/general comedy. I’ve been told I’m very quick witted but memorizing for a stage makes me so anxious. I like to just “perform” when the timing is right and the spark hits.
Lol ok I’ll give you that. But I also think you get what I mean. There’s actually a fantastic video called that covers this issue incredibly well. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
Ok still is. Wasn’t saying it isn’t currently but all these decisions were made like 15+ years ago. Hence “ahead of its time.” The implication is many of these decisions still hold up very well to scrutiny.
Yes. I have played it since the orange box and still do occasionally. This is “you couldn’t make blazing saddles today” nonsense. The satire is and has been apparent for a long time in large part because Valve generally doesn’t punch down.
