Week: 114 (Year 3)

How was the weekend?

Question: What is something most people misunderstand about you?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19381611

People think I’m a fan boy because they assume that my opinions are driven by the same baseless assumptions that they also have.
;)

Fact is, if I don’t have actual experience with it, I don’t shout out my opinion about it.

@Lensflare sure applebitch :p

I'm kinda wysiwyg. It's ok. Only my parents have some negative not deserved assumptions about me. I was a long time sick and couldn't do many things. Now I'm quite alright but they're still assuming that I'm not able to do certain stuff.

- SSDD.

- Looking for subtext in whatever I write, where in most cases there is none. But I still get flak for the perception of the supposed subtext.

Weekend: I am setting up a cloud storage company and it's a bit more expensive than I expected. That results in needing many customers. Many customers results in more support. I know, the cloud software can be just made high quality but customers always find something to complain. Only thing left is a good docs page on how to use webdav. I got demotivation a bit but decided to go trough because I want to start at least something. But I need 300 customers to break even. I've also learnt that only 2.5/5% will upgrade from free plan to paid plan. Fine, there goes the free plan. I can't give 15gb away to every customer, especially not as starter. I'll loose money at the beginning anyway and still have to invest in marketing. But marketing will be trough shady backlinking and I think my domain name is very good that contains product. When it's in Google, it will sell itself I guess.

Weekend:
Working on my yet another side project, a 2D Rogue-like hybrid between Vampire Survivor and Final Fantasy 7

@Lensflare sounds interesting

I have decided because I am fucked language-wise because I speak English and Quebec discriminates against the English by law, and I have job PTSD and a giant job gap and my brain is fogged up by the illness I got to the point I can barely function much less make code to the quality I did before I got sick...

that my best bet is to learn a game engine and make games and maybe then I could not starve to death. so been learning Godot for 3 days now. wish me luck I guess. as I have erratic emotions and thoughts because post-brain damage that happens and you grief your old personality and etc lol

what do people misunderstand? hmm they seem to pick something random to "understand" in some weird way that just shows their projection. it's never consistent towards me, but consistent to the primary culture group they belong to. so I never feel like they misunderstand me, more like they misunderstand themselves I guess if there's misunderstanding to be had?

@jestdotty Godot is a great choice I think!
It’s free, has a good community and has bindings for many languages, including Swift!

Currently I do some prototyping in SpriteKit but eventually will switch to Godot later.
