I don't know if these are the most joy but some good memories.

When I first saw Mario 64 in Toys R Us I was awestruck. Just unbelievable. Mario in 3D.

When I was playing Ocarina of Time I was hunting Poes in Hyrule field on Epona. I fell asleep because it was late. When I woke up the game was still running. Nothing overheated. Nothing killed me in game. No loud jarring noises. I wasnt late for anything. I just woke up and started hunting Poes again.

A friend and I were staying up late playing one of the early Kings Quest games where you can dial a 900 number to help you if you got stuck. This was back when save points were maybe once every 10 minutes if you're lucky. We had gotten to a really verbose riddle that we were supposed to have found a clue for earlier in the game but missed it. We just figured out the riddle and guessed it on the first try. It was an unbelievable triumph.

They just made Space Marine 2. Great campaign and the most immersive Warhammer 40k game yet imo. As far as the look and feel of the world they really didn't miss once. 40k is an old IP with A LOT of details and to just consistently nail those details is really a Herculean feat.

The gameplay loop isn't exactly my cup of tea but it isn't bad.

I don't know who else I would pick to do this project tbh.

Didn't see what community I was in when I read the post and thought there were just a lot of people here who hate stand up comedians doing crowd work

What kind of bed do you have? If your bed isn't flat this can happen as well. I scrapped a magnetic PEI sheet because it was never gonna be flat enough for a whole smooth first layer for me

From a far enough view point anything can be "simple". Anyone who has ever had to design, build, or program something for a client can tell you that what is "simple" in concept can be very complex to execute.

Life happens to everyone and finding ways to fit in "doing the thing every day" can become a very complex problem.

There is nothing simple about "keep doing it every day". There are so many reasons not to and it's up to you and you alone to find the reason or the will to "keep doing it every day."

In my experience, waiting for the carrot on the stick is much more likely to result in the whip

There haven't been any changes to etch a sketch in decades. It's already great...

...or maybe just the etch a sketch R&D department really aren't the brightest bunch out there.

The US is pretty big man and things are different in different regions. England is only as big as Alabama.

In the cities you can walk to places or take much more limited public transportation.

Every one outside of the city has a car though. Drive through banks, fast food, pharmacies, and even liquor stores are a real thing.

My commute to work is ~40 minute drive and some of that is at 129 kph.

I rarely walk anywhere for anything besides pleasure. There is a restaurant within ~10 minutes walk but most roads don't even have sidewalks here and people don't always pay attention while driving
