Howdy! I'm a mid-30s game developer. In a past life (my 20s) I was an astronomer, but academia sucks so I gtfo'd. I like to ride bikes, but I fell out of the habit over the pandemic; just getting back into it now. I enjoy boomer shooters, and indie games. Gay and trans and loving it.

Academia sucks soooo bad, i agree. Had to get out of a dream project because it was too much.

Yeah I was pretty close to finishing a PhD but my life kinda fell apart. No regrets on leaving, other than waiting so long.

I never got a PHD but was really good at my stuff so they hired me for this huge neuroscience project. It was hard to quit, but a little part of me was dying every day I had to deal with deluded megalomaniacs running things they have no idea how to run… life is too short for regrets
