Update: (I'm 17 Years Old, And (It Feels Like) I've Already Wasted My Entire Life)

[Zercasm]

Hi everyone, a bit over 1 year ago I posted this thread and I just thought I'd give you guys an update of where I'm at.

I have slowed down on reading too many books, currently I'm reading Unscripted .
Right after the thread I started diving into programming and learned web development. Around September, I picked up Unity and game development and has been working and publishing a few simple games for free. Now I'm working on 2 bigger game projects that I'm planning on selling once they're done. This fall I'm going into college for software engineering to learn even more about programming while still working on games.
Thanks a lot for the help a year ago. I'm now on a great path.

Now that doesn't sound like wasted, does it?

Keep up the good work!

It's great to see other similar youngsters here! I'm 17 and I've been in the video game industry for the last 3-4 years, with around 500k installs on Google Play in total. I also have experience with selling games. Feel free to hit me up if you want to chat!

What a hilarious title. Most men are essentially worthless until 30, so you've got plenty of company. Stop being melodramatic and start putting in work.

And start doing some strenuous physical activity (MMA, weightlifting, rock climbing, fencing, whatever) - it will mellow you out.

Am 29, still worthless, can confirm

Great progress. Also, your college education is free, no?

Correct. College education is free in Sweden. Only debt I aquire is a small loan I have to take to pay for food and housing. The good thing about that loan though is that the interest rate is extremely low compared to normal loans.
