    Inaction Is A Slow Death

    MINDSET 
    Ooo this is a great video! Definitely adding to my whole "motivational" playlist when reminders to keep going and to take chances are needed.

    Ooo, what's your favorite nation to play as? It's been a minute since I've played any Civ games.. much more into Paradox grand strategy games like Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings lately. If you don't mind my asking, what do you do within the industry? Do you have your own studio or work for...

    Anyone here belong to a fraternity?

    Whether active or alum. I belonged to Sigma Nu back in the day.

    I identify with this hard, my guy. I was in the same position back in 2018 when I was 26. Work was a slog, health was failing, depression and anxiety at an all time high. Sometimes we get so focused on the hustle that we forget the importance in pacing ourselves; while surrounding oneself with...

    [Progress] Building a Content Creation and Strategy Business

    EXECUTION 
    I appreciate the kind words! I think previous attempts I've made trying to do this fell flat because I was still trying to find my voice and angle -- both of which I have now. But I was also stuck in the "do what you love" rather than "love what you do" mode. I was much more focused on the...

    This might be a little bit long-winded but bear with me.. I just enjoy telling this story hahaha (tl;dr at the bottom). I've always been a pretty big gamer (my dad was a game developer back in the day so I grew up immersed in video games) so my perspective on life had always been influenced by...

    Ahh yes, I appreciate that clarification. I feel the same way about a lot of this. I apologize too if my initial reply seemed a bit terse.. like I said, the whole stigma against games and the condescension that comes with it gets me riled up and perhaps more defensive than I should be at times.

    EXECUTION 
    So I went back and reread some of my earlier posts and wanted to clarify a few things that have changed over the past seven-ish months in case there are others more interested in how my process was honed a bit. And.. you know.. for posterity. I know this community likes short and sweet content...

    Yeah, I understand where you're coming from, though refer back to my earlier statements: Everyone needs some way to relax after putting in their hours; if gaming is your choice, then that's perfectly fine. People who have a hard time with games taking over their life when they should be doing...

    It's been so long since I've played Minecraft though I still like all the memes and random videos YT's algorithm keeps serving me. Skyrim I haven't played either except for the Enderal overhaul mod. That's cool that you still play in order to keep in touch with your father. My dad just plays...

    Ooo, I like that but let me restate my question: how are you gonna get unscripted?

    Ahh, this warms my heart. My best friend and I met when we were kids playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault way back in the day when GameSpy was still a thing. As we got older, he and I would always talk about doing entrepreneurial stuff together (both of our sets of parents were business-y) and...

    What games are you playing on your phone, friend? And what's your unscripted goal, if you don't mind my asking?

    Yeah, while I still play video games, I find myself playing them less and less. Like right now, I find that I'm having more fun working on my business than my usual games.. like on my downtime, I'll sit and look at my library and then give up and start working on my next article. But I will...

    Will China overtake the US

    Again, this is what I'm more worried about than the original question. Much easier to control sheep than wolves.

    Yeah, I used to play a lot of MMOs back in the day but they're too big of time sinks for me; never could find a way to balance them effectively with the rest of my obligations. CoD.. haven't played since Black Ops 2.. as I've gotten older, if I'm gonna play an FPS, I prefer slower ones like...

    I'm just glad to have people stumble upon my little corner of the forum hahaha. Thanks though! Super excited. Also @Madame Peccato look who it is. Didn't realize you were also a part of TFF fam. :D A welcome surprise to be sure.

    Will China overtake the US

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This sums up what I'm more worried about rather than economic/military comparisons. Also, in reference to controlled speech and censorship of media, you can be a free country that values intelligence and science. We, as a society, seem to place higher value on stupidity and incentivizing that...

    How do you react when you sit with someone in your age or younger and has net worth 20 times yours ?

    PEOPLE QUESTION 
    I'm a little late but this really caught my eye and had to respond to it directly. The key to success is, when finding yourself in situations like this, to not have a reaction at all. And if you must react, it should be a reminder to redouble your efforts to get to where you want to be...

    Ooo Duke Nukem 3D.. that's one I haven't heard of in a while. I think that was the last Duke Nukem game I played but that was many moons ago. World of Tanks is pretty cool but I'm a War Thunder guy myself if ever I get the itch to play a tank/plane/boat game.
