Since I havenât seen anyone post this, I thought Iâd share the new Star Engine demo video from Cloud Imperium Games.
I will never let myself live down the stupidity and shame of falling for their bullshit not once, but twice. Iâm ~$150 poorer thanks to my impressionable college-brain thinking their âcomplete in a few yearsâ line back in 2014 was even remotely possible.
Well, think of it so that you spent $150 on a class on media literacy and a crash course on the dangers of unethical business practices.
Itâs sort of how I try to view my past fuckups: I canât change the past by feeling like an idiot for making some mistake, but I can try to learn to not make the same mistakes again (and instead make new and exciting mistakes) and learn to âforgive myselfâ in a sense.
Fuckups are inevitable parts of life, and beating myself up over mistakes wonât stop me from making new ones. I do need to learn from them when I make them, so I might as well do it in a way thatâs less unpleasant and doesnât require carrying around an ever-growing pile of memories labeled âIâm an idiot for doing [âŠ]â
