My kids taught me this well. They'll do anything and go anywhere in their PJs without a single care. ๐Ÿคฃ
This is not very profound but not only can you just do things, you don't even have to be perfectly prepared to do them. It took me way too long to become this easy going. Want to have a baby? Have a baby. Want to go climbing after dropping your kids off at school but you forgot your climbing pants? Climb in your full sleeve shirt and jeans no one cares. Want to run but you are walking the dog wearing sandals? Run in sandals. We're going on a trip. Did we forget anything? Doesn't matter, we can just buy it when we get there. KEVIN!

The Wolfโ€™s Bite is part of Steamโ€™s Couch Co-op Fest! It was released nearly 8 (!) years ago. Is it considered retro yet? ๐Ÿ˜ญ #steamcouchcoopfest

I've been tinkering with Love2D, and ... love it so far! Started prototyping a Tecmo Super Bowl-inspired game. It's still very raw. ๐Ÿˆ

I couldn't agree more! I've been a software engineer for over 18 years, beginning with an internship using the LAMP stack while in college. My first job after college involved both Java and C#. My next gig was for a defense contractor where I worked with C++ and Java. Next, at an applied science consultancy, I focused on C#, JavaScript, and Java. Eventually, I transitioned to a Python role with minimal Python experience because I wanted to learn the language. Now, I still focus on Python, but one thing I've learned: languages evolve, and so do we.
There are *zero* successful software engineers who have only used one language in their careers. Zero. Most have used a dozen languages or more. Programming languages don't matter. They have no bearing on how valuable you are. And more importantly, people who pay don't care.

Oh, I almost forgot. I also shipped multiple (sponsored!) games using ActionScript 3 (might've dated myself a bit there ๐Ÿ‘ด) and a commercial game using @HaxeFlixel. Languages are cool and all, but they're just a means to an end. Shipping things is what matters. ๐Ÿšข

I recently picked up a Steam Deck! As anyone with a game on Steam would do, the first game I booted up was @thewolfsbite. It plays quite well on the deck!

As a dad raising a young family, I haven't had much time for game development over the past few years. However, I've been tinkering with Love2D whenever I can. It's been a lot of fun, and I have some small projects to share soon. ๐Ÿ™‚

Infinite again this season! Thanos/Galactus from 73->93, then Thanos control finished things up. @MarvelSnapZone @SnapDecks

Hit Infinite in #MarvelSnap for the first time! Control Kitty did most of the work from 53โ€“>93, then took Destroyer to 96 and closed out with Sandman. @SnapDecks
