I feel like a total loser maybe because of hormones or possibility that ive done nothing my whole like. Ive had some interest/ideas on what to do but all of them are complex and im not sure how to start simple. I want to make games but it requires coding, art, a cool idea, and more but i stink at all those stuff and im impatient for some reason. Its like i want life to be easy but its not. The only think ive pushed thru is dnd, i like it depending on the group, but right now i feel burned out and numb. I just need something for my personal life. It would help if i could do it from a computer because thats what i have or for free.

    This may not be accurate anymore, but ~15 years ago I got my foot in the door as a game tester by showing a history of alpha and beta testing. I can go into more detail about my interview process if you want, but the point I wanted to make is that you don’t need to be a programmer or artist to work in the game industry.

    Broader advice is to take what you love and instead of doing exactly that - make a lateral transfer to a different industry. Making good beer and making good pizza dough take the same skills, their end products are what differs
