Yellowstone is fantastic! I'm loving it
Right now I am playing a lot of Balatro, some Satisfactory, some BG3, some No Mans Sky. Minecraft is also regularly in rotation.
Ooh, an OG gamer. I like it. So far so normal. Everything you've said has been pretty run of the mill 20s to 30s hobbies.
At your current stage of life, do you feel like there's still more to be explored or that you've attained self actualisation?
Oh man, what a question. I really want to change careers. I want to learn to make furniture. It feels more "lasting" than writing code. So yeah, I have more to do.
Really leaning into that “coder wants to become carpenter” stereotype I see ;) It was one of the things I wanted to do growing up, and is still a skill I’d love to develop. I just didn’t have room to do that kind of work until recently hehe…
To be honest, these days I’m wary of turning fun things or hobbies into work. I’m pretty sure that if I ended up building furniture for other people like I have to write code, I’d start hating it too. Coding tends to pay much better anyway haha…
