Re: Monthly chat December 2015
I'm sorry gamecreator to hear about your breakup. Those can be very rough and can take a long time to get over. I hope you can find some opportunities to keep busy and do something you love. I have always found making games to be far too complex and taxing, kind of like building a sandcastle one grain at a time. I have no idea how anyone does it, but I've always meant to look into inform 7, in order to right a story with some interactive elements.
You're right Dark that people respect titles for no apparent reason, but getting a PH.D. at least means that you were able to focus on one topic for a couple of years and in some way add to it, which is more than I can say for myself. I start each day trying to learn more Japanese, but after 5 minutes get distracted on youtube because of some news story, and then I'm in the mood for some Beethoven, and then I'm reading the news, and so on. I love learning, but can't concentrate on one thing long enough
to learn anything interesting.
I did manage to get all my Christmas shopping done in one intense two hour burst though, and I think everyone will be satisfied. I find when you're shopping on a budget, the best thing to do is get something that's either edible or drinkable, as everyone likes to relax with something delicious after the hectic holidays.
I've been meaning to read more classic science fiction, as well as more classics in general, so I'll have to pick up some heinlane. I've tried Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, because I love alternate history, but have yet to find a book that tackles alternate history in enough depth. The Man in the High Castle came the closest though I think.
