Can't even use a joystick yet...

Hoooo child I lost some hours to that one.
Fortunately for me, the wife liked it too, so I didn't have to answer too many judgemental questions.
Rocket League on the other hand...
You know the sequel is in Early Access right? That's what killed me last weekend...
The first release was so half-baked that I didn't get into it, but they've released updates now that we're enough for me to lose a weekend playing it. I still think the description "early release" is accurate, but it's going to be a phenomenal sequel when they get the features and bugs worked out.
I bought this game like a year ago and have been afraid to install it for that very reason. Just haven't had a week in my life that I can completely clear my schedule. I feel like based on what I've heard about it, it's likely to scratch that same sort of itch that Kerbal Space Program does for me...
I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.
I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, "SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don't actually know what either of those words mean."
Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I've always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn't know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I'm actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.
Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I'd need to read like six other articles, which I can't do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.
I've taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I'll regularly read articles that I don't fully understand, assuming that I'll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I'm reading about over time.
Dude fucking iRacing...
In my hand, currently.
