It's so weird, thinking about how I've brushed shoulders with people who are accomplished game designers, or programmers, or artists, or musicians, and when they inevitably ask "So, what do you do?" all I can squeak is
"... um... I reverse-engineer games? Sometimes? and I am working on reverse-engineering a moderately obscure Super Famicom board game video game and producing a translated English version of it?"

but yet people always tell me how amazing that is and how they are interested in what I am doing. ./////.
It always leaves me so speechless that I forget that I should be telling them how much I thought what they did was much less useless and wished I could be doing what they were doing instead...

@Raspberryfloof Why do you feel that you "should" be telling them that?
(~)
@not_on_pizza @not_on_pizza Because, I don't have any real accomplishments, I guess? I haven't finished any projects, haven't released any code, barely wrote any music at all, don't have a portfolio I can point at and say "hey, I did these things and they are neat and now I am doing these things and they are also neat"...
Basically I feel like I don't fit in with most people in the games industry but I wish I did and also feel like I never will? I guess? I don't know it's complicated ;~;
