The tough thing with creative endeavors is that you really just need the motivation to start and continue making anything, it can be inexpensive stuff. The important thing is output and making it a regular thing.

That being said, gearing up for a new hobby is always fun if you can afford it. But you can absolutely make short films on an iPhone.

Woww I had a CD-ROM of Lemmings and I always felt so sad for the lil guys. Thank you for sharing that link!

As a lifelong peanut butter cup fanatic, this initially filled me with rage. Can’t stop thinking about though…

wwwwwwwwwwwwwhAT’RE YOU DOING HERE STUART?!

I don’t know why this is cracking me up so much 🤣

Same - I regularly use vim on servers when I have to, but I can only remember some super basic commands. Most of my coding is done in a basic text editor like Sublime Text or Notepad++ or an IDE.

I do get the appeal of becoming fluent in Vim or emacs and theoretically attaining giant productivity gains. Although for me at least, text editing is not where all my time is wasted. I lose my productivity the old fashioned way: attending unnecessary meetings and wasting time solving the wrong problems.

Go scream at the top of your lungs somewhere loud like a busy highway overpass. Weirdly works!
