It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.

As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.

Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.

EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement

Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out? solidarity

Hi, I am trying to kick my videogames addiction

[-] Lurkerino@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

I did that by becoming a game dev lol

[-] material_delinquent@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

how fast did you learn to code? Did you go to uni for it?

[-] Lurkerino@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

2 years in generalist game dev studies, a bit of everything, 2D & 3D art, programing in C# with unity as a game engine, small game proyects, so many programs for everything etc.

I didnt find it difficult, but Ive always been a computer nerd so idk

I still dont know how to properly program stuff as thats not really my expersite, I mean that I know how to get things done but im sure its not very eficient.

Then another year of a master in 3D art (no programing here), now I can do some shit like this.

Whelp, I spent years trying to learn arabic in a not really useful environment til I threw a sizeable amount of money at a specialized course and it works now. I could try art now that I have time to do other things, but it might be too close to g'ming and reactivate the addiction clusters, idk

In case it helps you, I found it the opposite, now that I have more knowledge about how games are made, I see so many of them as just pure repetitive consumerist trash, so I only end up playing the really good ones that really get my attention, and overall spend much less time playing.

[-] material_delinquent@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

I think I will just master arabic as good as I can, that is probably already a pretty big fucking task that will keep me busy forever

Oh, my friend just picked up a drawing tablet, seems like I will spend my evenings like that
