I drowned some ants when I was a little kid in our backyard because I was scared of them and also curious. My neighbor told me to think about what I did. I was mortified. I'm a vegan now.
Kids need to learn that kind of empathy. Although I don't think I would have ever thought about about ripping limbs from frogs.
For years, coming back to my hometown made me feel alien, like in a dream where everything was just slightly off. Like somebody came a rearranged my kitchen drawer while I was sleeping. Just wrong.
But now, twenty years later it, it changed. It didn't become home again but a place that I felt a deep connection to. My friends and I are now parents. The places where we were young and stupid are no longer for us. But that's okay.
I can never go back. Nor do I want to. But I understand my friends that stayed or returned. It wasn't such a bad place after all.
Came here to point that out. You also have LTS versions for business critical software. Sometimes, a newer version is in beta or nightly mode for a long time while the stable version only receives bug fixes.
It's not gender related. Son was easy, daughter just couldn't feel, when she needed to go until she was a bit over 4 years old. He will do it when he's ready. I feel you.
I would suggest that you try something different. Do a little tutorial game in the Godot engine and learn all the things that you would need to implement yourself if you wouldn't have the Godot engine doing the heavy lifting for you. This might help you to get a feeling for the scope of your endeavor. I think it's hard enough to build a game where you don't have to implement sprite movement, update ticks, physics, collision detection, etc yourself.
If you want to do it anyway because it's awesome, there's a running joke that there are like 50 game engines currently being developed in Rust. Go all in!
I recently found out about this and I love it! Used to use paperwork for my scanning and archiving but paperless ngx is so much better.
