"Oh I kinda have this weird blood pressure thing or something. I straight up need to eat salt, like a lot, or I get really dizzy, out of breath and weak when I'm up"

So uh....
I may have POTS?
This is not just a lil random quirk I have?

My school has given me a permission for 10 hours of remedial teaching per YEAR. That I'm already scared of asking because of my past.

Alex Lankio @mimirthful.bsky.social · Sep 3

But it also makes me hate my brain even more because why can't I learn like a normal person. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing a cog everyone else has.
And I know ai is so fucking bad for the environment and people. Boy am I aware of it. I hate this. so. much.

It's the only thing that doesn't sigh passively aggressively or straight up give up, after a long explanation, when I go "I still don't get why X works like this". It doesn't make me cry because I feel too stupid.

I'm just trying to survive, to be able to learn. To be able to get a job someday. I never use it to do any work for me. Just to explain why something works like it does, like I use it to dissect the thing till the ground until i finally get it.

I admit. I use AI a lot. To explain concepts to me, that I just. Don't. Get. Maybe someday I can ask actual humans, but in the past I have been yelled at when I have been too stupid and gotten stuck while learning and somebody has tried to teach me. Don't worry, I already feel bad about this.

I'm so tired of the "hyper realistic unreal engine" graphics style on the big name games. They all look the same and soulless.

Alex Lankio @mimirthful.bsky.social · Jul 30

But yeah, idk of anyone cares or if posting this looks bad. I just needed to get this out of my chest. (among with lot of other things lol)

To find anything good out of my time on game studies: I understand OOP and UX heuristics pretty well now. I'm sure i picked up some info that will help me with full stack stuff. I appreciate games differently nowadays and maybe want to create some as a hobby in the future.

I was also supposed to create a game studio with my friend, but they were diagnosed a serious illness that will worsen with time, so we had to scrap that. I was enduring a lot for that dream, but sometimes life just happens.

Alex Lankio @mimirthful.bsky.social · Jul 29

I've not been well. I quit my game dev studies, and switched into fullstack studies beginning this autumn. I just couldn't continue with games. Only thing I got was a burnout and depression because nothing was enough. I also need to get a job and pay my living asap.

also my dysphoria has been of the charts for a while now. Still not enough money to get a top surgery. I can't keep suffocating myself with the fucking binders for a long anymore.

I'm starting to get a grasp of the commander pattern. I have already learned limited state machines, observer pattern, pooling and so much more this year. The problem arising seems to be, how to connect all of these patterns together. 😅 I plan to learn that this summer!! #gamedev #indiedev

Hello humans and other creatures of bsky. I created a game with my friends this spring. If you're a fan of anomaly games or lynchian vibes, you'll love this one.

We poured lots of love on this one. I hope it brings joy to someone. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm trying to wrap my head around the command pattern, and my brain hurts. 😭 I feel like it'll take a sec before it clicks, and I understand what is going on. #gamedev #student

28 days later, and I'm still so excited, and learning new! The game I'm creating is going well, I'm actually enjoying myself, and I hope I never have to go back to Unity T-T

Alex Lankio @mimirthful.bsky.social · May 6

I decided to start learning Godot as a summer project, after using Unity for years and... I'm speechless, Godot docs are so great! I always felt like I was too dumb to understand wtf was going on Unity's docs, and now I just feel like Unity has gaslighted me all of these years. 😭 #gamedev
