I only have 2.5 years to make it :(
- toomuchtodo 12y agoDoing something phenomenal is more important than doing something before 30. I'm 32 though. I'm biased.
- testimoney 12y agoWell better start early. I should stop my Battlefield sessions before bed and start doing something.
- noname123 12y agoHow about becoming a pro at Battlefield? So many startup people but a pro at a game that you enjoy, now that's more special and niche.
- testimoney 12y agoI'm not good enough. I used to be very good at counter strike many years ago but it required a lot of training (I don't have that much free time anymore), and I honestly prefer programming, it's just that I do programming 8 hours a day for work already, so I lose creativity/motivation when I have time for myself at 10pm.
- kansface 12y agoThis is terrible advice. Video game pros have extremely short careers (the runtime of the video game or until their body gives out). They typically work 12 hour days, and as soon as its their job, the game isn't fun. At the end of their career- when they are perhaps 30, they are left with no skill and no job and not nearly enough money to retire.
- onedev 12y agoI don't think he meant it seriously. I think it was said more to convey a certain sentiment.
- _random_ 12y agoWould you rather be e.g. Notch or some Forbes 30-under-30?
- testimoney 12y agoI'm not sure. The 30-under-30 accomplished more than Notch did. I'd feel like I achieved more being on that list. But Notch has a better life, he didn't have as much stress as the 30-under-30, and did more fun stuff and can continue living a nice life. I think my final choice would be to be Notch, but I'm not 100% sure.
