Are you passionate about anything, /r9k/?
No, I'm not passionate about anything. It's one of the reason why I'm depressed.
>>24362794
Yes. programming.
I code every single day.
Sometimes when people say vidya is not a hobby, i wonder if developing vidya is different.
It depends on the meaning of "passionate." I am interested in philosophy and such, but not intensely so.
Being passionless naturally leads to depression, but that's alright. I have lived without depression for parts of my life, but disliked that. I prefer my depressive state, as positive emotions prevent rationality, objectiveness, and such.
>>24362794
Yes. Music, literature, and the arts in general.
I'm developing my prose and hoping to become a "good writer." I want to write about ideas that I find interesting, in a unique, original way.
>>24362794
Fighting games. I'm gonna spend ridiculous amounts of time on sf5. I'll probably stop trying to improve myself as soon as it comes out
I'm passionate about being an absolute sick cunt.
>>24363095
>The fking aspergers on this one is strong
>>24362794
Only the love I don't have
No. I have to force myself to do anything.
Any passions I once or may have had have eroded away due to years upon years of chronic depression and apathy, my soul is stagnant.
>>24363089
what current project are you most excited about?
>>24362794
Literature and learning.
>>24362794
if I read a good story that makes me think in a way I never thought before and changed my mindset in some way, I get really excited and passionate about it. I haven't had time to read anything recently, but I'm planning to hit the library this week.
>>24363115
I want to be passionate about writing, but I'm having trouble coming up with anything original.
Yes my art and btfo robots
Sorta. If my depression wasn't killing it every day I would have made it much further in my art and film.
>>24362794
A lot, Till the pills wear off.
>>24363179
Feel free to insult my shit tastes, but it's a metroidvania.
I'm an One Man Army so i have to do the coding, art and music, and the only thing i do really well is coding.
I'm currently trying my best to design a comfy village place.
I used to be passionate about r9k but I can't t do anything to keep s4s away.
>>24363196
If you claim you don't have time to read, but have time to /r9k/, I don't see how you could say you are passionate about reading.
>>24362794
Only your mother
>>24363265
It's better than saying I'm passionate about nothing.
>>24363254
>being passionated about /r9k
I swear sometimes you robots bring it to yourselves
>>24363283
In what way do you mean you get excited and passionate about individual works? Like reading secondary material and criticism over them? If you want to begin writing, it might be useful to start with writing about the books you end up passionate about, since you're already in a positive state.
>>24362794
Was very passionate about music (not music theory doe) between age 15 and 19 and after that it slowly vanished and now I only listen to Spiderland.
I'm into olympic weightlifting because that's the only way and place where I feel comfortable outside of my room.
>>24362794
Maths (I'm a maths major), Anime (much better than real life shows), and lifting the feels away. Used to play a lot of games; most of the time being spent on runescape. I don't play much games anymore.
Normally, doing mathematics help me keep my mind at bay, and not worry too much about anything else. I encourage fellow robots and neets to atleast pursue one academic endeavor; whatever it is e.g. writing, philosophy, languages, science, arts, musics, ..., etc.
Based on experience, my greatest passion is accomplishing nothing
>>24362985
Other way around to be honest family
Mythology and religion
>>24363407
Which translation of the Edda do you suggest, anon?
Mtg. Legacy specifically. There's a decent group of players in my area since most of us work at the same lab. Pic related is my project for a kooky stax varient
>>24363364
Yes, it's definitely this
>>24363331
I'm not really hard to please when it comes to books. The kinds of literature I get passionate about are ones that feel meaningful after you've read it. Books that push multiple themes throughout the story and make you think in a different way, basically.
I'm passionate about these dubs
I'm passionate about doing nothing and being lazy.
>>24362794
Programming and drawing.
Coincidentally, both are for the sake of pornography.
>>24363624
What a weird ass post.
Code a me a rat would ya?
>>24363571
you mean THESE dubs?
>>24363545
Alright. I was suggesting you might write your own critical thoughts about them, to put the passion you feel about them into writing, since you said you wanted to start that. Even something as simple as a review blog would help you get started funneling it into productivity.
>>24363504
Not that anon, but it's definitely Byock for the Prose Edda and Hollander for the Poetic.
The real question is which translation of the Tain is best.
>>24362794
I finally found something, it's music and running. I've always hated running and physical activity since in school I had undiagnosed asthma and it led to me not trying when it came to PE. This adversity to exercise finally came to a stop when I got treatment and tried to run again. I actually feel comfortable running now, I'm undoing the fat I piled on these years. Listening to music while running is blissful. I'm the type of person who loves moving when music plays, although I could never show it because I was embarrassed about being fat. Now I'm going to live events and being me, the journey is just beginning. It'll end when death comes for me.
>>24363881I agree, own it as well. Was just testing him since I assume a lot of people ITT are bullshitting.
>>24363891
Keep up the good work and remember that motivation is your enemy while discipline is your friend.
>>24363653
>>24363571
Stop it. You're both failures.
>>24362794
Until very recently, Warhammer 40k painting. Never had anyone to play with but the painting was always fun. Parents reaction to it kind of made me stop.
>>24363916
I default to suspicion and not excitement when someone says reading is their passion. I've been tricked too many times by someone claiming that, when what they actually meant is that they may read a book or two every month.
I guess I'm too picky on what constitutes a "passion." But I would assume even going a day without doing something you love so much is difficult.
>>24362794
History. That's about it
>>24362794
no because I'm not a fucking normalshit
>>24363950
Check this failure
>>24363967
Keep painting dude. Let it out.
>>24363922
I will anon, I am starting to understand the world in these ways
how the fuck do i become passionate about something?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>24364295
Me too, bro.
What's your favorite era? I used to like the classical world (Greece, Rome) but Asian history has been my thing lately.
My passion is seeking dank memes.
>>24362794
Smash Bros and competitive Pokemon. Beating people 1v1 lets me pretend that I'm better than them for a brief moment. When I lose I get very depressed.
Used to be into YuGiOh but the game became so luck based and shitty I can't even delude myself into thinking I'm skilful.
Also toy collecting. Just a chill hobby. Coming up with poses and making scenes look good is just fun.
>>24362794
I'm passionate about being redpilled by reading /pol/ everyday. Im kinda retarded so I basically need to learn and take daily doses of redpills in order to make up my mind about things.
Quite a bunch of stuff, but it's mostly things others don't find very interesting...you know how it is: classic autsimo
>>24363967
>tfw you have talent at drawing
>everyone in your school would tell you you were really good
>your art teacher enrolled you in a contest and encouraged you to take an art major
>tfw your parents completely disapprove
>they say you're just gonna end up sketching for 20 bucks in the streets of ny
>tfw been neet for about 3 years now since then
Of course, I now realize an art major is shit tier, but would've been nice to have some supportive parents.
>>24364429
Not him, but what are you reading within Asian history? I focus almost exclusively on Japan, but I love it too.
that's the problem
>>24364429
Serbian and german history, sorry for the late response
>>24363881
>>24363916
Different guy, but I also got into the Poetic Edda not too long ago. If you guys haven't read Ursula Dronke's translation, I really recommend it; not only for the poetry of the translation, but there is a bulk of really well done scholarly commentary for each poem. The editions are out of print I think but I found the first volume in my school's library. I own Lee Hollander's Poetic Edda as well but I really prefer Dronke's edition from what I've read so far.
>>24362794
I'm passionate about beating the meat every day, and meticulously adding to and organizing my porn collection. 305 gigs and counting...
I used to be really passionate about track riding motorcycles. I would spend tons of time working on my bikes and practicing my technique in the mountains before I went to the racetrack. It was pretty much all I thought about but the passion is almost dead. After several crashes and an empty bank account, motorcycling just made my life worse. I've been lucky in that I've become pretty apathetic about the whole thing. Maybe one day in the distant future I'll start doing trackdays again but I'm not sure if I'll still be passionate about it.
>>24367067
>Edward Hopper Spurdo :DD
oh my god I don't think I've been caught off guard so much by anything in my life.
I used to be really into plants. Grew carnivorous plants and had a big garden. I really want to grow weed. I don't really like smoking it that much, but growing it looks like SO much fun.
>>24362794
Music, I love everything about it and I'm good at it, but it drains the hell out of me. I reach such a high with it that I just crash after it or when it reaches the boring part. I need to find a band, but my social anxiety kind of presents that and showing any part of it off, but I love it when I do it.
>>24367839
How dangerous is it really f'am?
I'm passionate about fishing for (You)s.
>>24368075
It depends. On the racetrack it's not that dangerous, everyone wears a full race suit and is decent at riding. On the street it can get very dangerous on the touge. I've had two crashes on the racetrack and one on the street and haven't had any injuries but I wear full gear. A lot of street riders will get injured so bad in their first street crash that they stop riding all together. It's really only as dangerous as you make it pham.
>>24363217

>>24362985
I feel you anon I have nothing to live for no drive in life no passion or attachment to anything. I need to end it.
Music and good movies\television.
I wanna compose for film and tv and also create and write a god tier tv show, maybe a movie. For the tv show I have all the characters and arcs and shit in my head and gotta turn it all into scripts. If I don't accomplish my dreams or am nowhere close in 9 years then I'm killing myself.
>>24368392
nah, failed normie. if you participate in smug neet threads you are objectively facebook normalshit and not a robot, therefore you are not welcome here
>>24368588
I haven't even updated my facebook since 2011
>>24368517
same, after a few acid trips i realised the life style ive chosen i will either sore to extremes or die by 25
>yfw im one of a billion struggling musicians who think their better than everyone else
I think the thing I care most about is sleep. But I have a job that makes me wake up early. And I drink on the weekends which doesn't allow me to have a restful sleep. And I stay up because I don't want tomorrow to come.
Writing. I had two novel series and a non-fiction standalone I was working on but I have since given up on writing.
Now I am passionate about dying. RIP in pizza
>>24363089
>i wonder if developing vidya is different.

I know this post is old as fuck, but I hope you're still here.
If you have a bit of cash (or can take out a small loan and pay it back by charging for the game), you should hire some freelancers. Create the basic ideas you want to see in the game and have other people build upon your designs for the art and music.
Hell, you could even just hire some cheap freelancers on sites like fiverr to make some cool concept art for you, then use it to advertise on a crowdfunding site. That way you can get all the cash up front and then you could hire some professional freelancers to design the art and music for the actual game.
