Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 14/05/2026There's Philly and Pittsburgh, which are super expensive to live in. Then there's everything inbetween where it's cheap to live but there's zero work in tech unless you get lucky. It's one of the cheapest states to live but it's cause we are all broke like the median salary here is 40k 100 1

Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 11/05/2026ditched Bluesky for Threads, watched myself get miserable and bitter in real time, jumped back, low cortisol man this place is nice. Maybe it's my feeds here but the lack of ragebait is so refreshing 120 2
Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 11/05/2026EXACTLY. I am also more technical and suck at the traditional art side of things so I get that mental gap/jump. Pick an engine, get a guy to move, and watch your self confidence grow in real time :3 DaVinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa on his first day of being an artist ;) 010 1

Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Coding is creative by nature! How many bugs have you sat there chewing on a solution before finding it? Or even just slapping together the "temp fix"? The creative part of dev is similar. Just think of a small game and see if you can do it. Doesn't have to be game changing, just something you did 110 1

Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I've had an idea for a game where a chicken coop gets ransacked by lizards and you gotta get revenge for years. This might be the sign from God I needed lol 010 1

Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Maybe I have to accept that life is a lot and the massive strides I was able to hit at one point just aren't feasible. If I can only tackle stuff one day a week, that just might be the way it is. This is where scope and planning comes in. Is the project doable with the time I have? Maybe. Probs 100 1
Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 10/05/2026(mines ADHD) Listen we both know that comes in waves and you gotta really seize that momentum when it hits. I work as a SysAdmin so coming home from computer work to do more (unpaid) computer work is kinda the last thing on my mind. 2 disabled cats add to the pile. Maybe a schedule is needed? 000 0
Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Like I thought ahead and made the enemies "templates" so certain types that have very similar behavior are very easily implemented and tweaked. It's just the gritty gritty shit at this point. Balance, mapping, all that shit 100 1
Salad Retossed @saladretossed.bsky.social · 10/05/2026the slow grind of asset creation and mechanic refinement after the initial boost of making huge progress is the worst part. Burnout from irl job and life is a bastard also 100 1
