damn guys this sucks, when they said "would you die for your art" i thought we were fighting cops or something not wasting away from carpal tunnel and vitamin deficiency..

but yeah, ouch. this is literally just how it is. i feel like its just a countdown until i get some ergonomic keyboard thing going on myself. the artist-writer combo is bad enough without also being someone who is used to being hunched over laptops (i don't have any kind of "home base" and nowhere to live permanently at the moment, maybe that's part of my issue) 

may we all attain true balance in all things

i think it absolutely answers the question! i think it aligns a lot with what i would've answered myself -- the material reality of project management is something that i think thwarts a lot of people who start from zero with their friends once they have to transition from "we are doing this for fun, as friends" to "we are doing this for a living, as professionals." there's so many compromises and adjustments to make to your attitude about why you work and what you need to protect. 

you saying "the effort becomes physical as well" is all too real for me especially... even if i have my mental attitude worked out, i'm in a good working environment, and i'm having a lot of fun, i can be stopped by hand pain or my energy disorder -- something that happens when you make what you love into something you do for 8 hours a day

thank you for such a complete response, and congrats again <3

it's so well-deserved! congratulations!

here's my question: it's been a good few years since you started! what do you think has contributed to project longevity - both in terms of logistics and simple mental endurance?

this game is pure peak, thank you for my life
