I love yearly goal setting and tracking! I achieved 4 of my 6 goals for 2023. The biggest thing that helped me was my progress tracking spreadsheet [0]. I try to define very achievable monthly milestones. Over the past few years I have lear

This was incredibly fun -- my wife and I played as a team where I am the flappy bird and she calls out ideas for the Wordle part. Highlight of our day!

I'm passionate about two things: game development and writing! For several years I've been working as an evenings-and-weekends indie game developer. I love it -- it's such a joyful mix of technical and creative tasks. It&#x27

This is so fantastic to read -- congrats Andreas! I admit I am very envious reading this. I would love to be in a similar situation, able to focus full time on a passion project (in my case, video game development). Maybe it's time to

The simplicity of this is awesome. I've vaguely wanted to start blogging for many years, but suffered from analysis paralysis on where/how to get started. This was so simple -- took me less than 2 minutes to get set up and start w

This is so neat! Seems like a really fun game, and I'm also a big fan of the very straightforward & minimal website. Would definitely buy one of the decks you're planning to sell :)

I write! I started a new habit back in 2016: anytime I felt bored or felt an impulse to just open a browser and navigate to a news site, I would instead tab to my word processor and write little character scenes or plan out the plot of a ne

I feel the exact same way. Perfectly articulated. It's personal now for me as well.

Make sure to actively invest in the relationships that are important to you. It's easy to take them for granted without realizing you are doing so. That might be your spouse, your parents, your siblings, your close friends, your kids.

This is a tradeoff I've grappled with a lot in the past 5-6 years. I was in my mid-twenties at the start of that period, and I generally have chosen money over passion. Part of my reasoning was that I could try and utilize some of that

Ah, understood -- I spent some time trying to figure it out after seeing your clarification. You are right that if you try the same rook sac technique, white won't be able to get the white king over in time to defend g2. It turns out t

I'd be very interested in picking up this kind of project -- I've spent dozens of hours over the past few months trying to find a project of this type and this size to acquire. My email is in my profile -- looking forward to heari
