It’s not that I’m not skilled at the things I like. It’s that the stuff I want to do is stuff like reading and playing videogames. It’s not something you can feasibly make a living doing. Also, I’m pretty sure that the few actual jobs there are in areas like that still end up pretty unpleasant.

Huh. I never doubted that for one second, nor said anything about it.

Oh. Oh, it makes sense now. Well, to tell you the truth, I too started with reading and playing videogames, and I’ve progressed to writing and making stuff for videogames. Low entry barriers to my respective means of expression helped a lot, too. Do you have any sort of hobby that you’d like to take to the next level, so to speak?
I’ve tried writing, but I can never get more than a few pages. I can come up with good ideas, but I’ll never be able to write the requisite million words before I can get to the good writing.
As for making stuff for videogames, that’s pretty much what this project is. I’m making a graphics program for non-euclidean geometry. Imagine portal, but with portals that look like this, or at least they would if you embedded them in four-dimensional space and looked at a cross-section, and several other interesting defects in space.
I’ve also tried modeling. I’ve had some fun with it with POV-Ray, but I never got the hang of Blender.
