It's posted around before, so I'm aware :c
Still, it's a topic I don't think we've had before; might as well roll with it.
Why the fuck not?
Obviously I develop videogames else I wouldn't be here. My interest in development has been very on/off over the last few years and so my projects, which probably should've been finished by now, languish in development hell whilst the gaming world continues on around them. I worry sometimes that by the time I do finish some of my projects, they simply won't be relevant any more because any "experimental" directions I was trying to take will have already been taken by someone else!
Equally obviously I play videogames else I wouldn't be interested in making them. I'm currently playing a LOT of
Fallout 4, and most of my gaming is probably spent on either RPGs or the
Football Manager series. I used to heavily prefer traditional JRPGs over western RPGs, but that's changed recently and I now find myself preferring western RPGs. I also used to be a fairly high-level
Starcraft 2 player, by which I mean I was capable of nicking games off professional players without ever being notable myself or reaching that level on a consistent basis, but I disliked the direction that Blizzard took multiplayer in the latest expansion and so I quit playing. I was also kinda advised to stop playing by my doctor because I was developing signs of RSI in my wrists...
... which is ironic because my other main hobby is playing football, and I play as a goalkeeper. Having bad wrists whilst being a goalkeeper ain't exactly great, as you can imagine, and it was actually increased pain whilst playing football that made me realise something was wrong with my wrists in the first place. Thankfully they've healed a lot now and I'm playing without being in so much pain afterwards, so that's definitely a good thing. It's just a shame I don't play for an organised team at the moment; I definitely miss playing league games!
