BordedDev271521hI really enjoy 3D character modelling and could probably get good enough (and about equal pay) but I have more than 10 years pro experience as a dev and near 0 character dev, and that industry is very cliquey and well...

jestdotty653921hit's what I'm good at so I guess it's what I'm stuck with
I'm not even good at it anymore, hahahaha. maybe I will again though
I feel like people kind of ruin hobbies for me though. I don't know what's up with that or how to fix it. it's like I got too much black and white thinking when people make things shitty -

lol jestdotty.
Yes, I'm stuck with it as well for now because of the experience thing.
People do, they ruin hobbies. Art becomes tedious. Gaming becomes tedious.
To fix it, you would probably have to look into other stuff first, to detract attention.. and I find it's better to do things for yourself. -
SidTheITGuy981919hI've asked myself that question enough number of times to justify me being a dev for the last 8 years.

jonathands39618hI have, my first answer was, rather be a multimillionaire, but being a dev is slightly easier

D-4got10-01227310h@BordedDev Also, most artists are 'touched'... true at least for the ones I met.

How about knitting, basket weaving, pottery, wood carving, ice sculpting, Macramé, gardening? I'm sure there's a hobby you'd enjoy. -
@BordedDev Fine, crocheting it is. A fine craft practiced by many.
...coincidentally crochet hooks are often used to mend dreadlocks, so there's that...
Have you ever asked yourself: "Do I really want to be a dev?". Maybe one wants to be an artist, y'know.
