    My life:

    1. Play video games despite my father’s immense disapproval.

    2. Learn to program so I can make my own video games.

    3. Get a job where I’m paid to program.

    4. Never actually finish any of my own games.

    I do still play video games and he does still disapprove but I’m older now than he was when I started playing and he started disapproving so that’s probably not going to change.

        Are you two me, then? Only difference is that my dad actually enabled my gaming addiction and was an enjoyer back then, I vividly recall him playing Red Alert, Age of Empires and Civilization 2.

        I’m on step 4 mostly thanks to godot, tho. Might give Ebitengine (Go) a try in some months. That or DragonRuby, as I qualified for a free license and Amir very quickly replied to my email.
