offtopic but just want to say...I have been programming for a long time, but not being much of a gamer hardly ever noticed what was happening in the gamedev world. Thanks to covid, I started poking around out of curiosity and joblessness and its been great. I have always used coding as a sort of escape?/theraputic tool to kind of shift mental focus off negative stuff out of my control to something positive and controllable. It really helps reenergizing my batteries but beyond a point (esp in the open source world) I get pulled me into drama that again drains energy. But feels like there is something different about gamedev compared to other forms of coding. I dont know if its a younger more enthusaistic crowd or something else...havent put my finger on it but I always feel much better after a session. Was wondering if others have noticed a diff?
