Echoing what others have said:

For yourself: Do what you want to do.

Wanna write? Write, read, play with Chat-GPT, do what it is you're wanting to do.

Wanna music? Play, compose, play with Musecore (it's free), listen, go to concerts, do what it is you're wanting to do.

Wanna art? Draw, sculpt, craft, go to museums, google art (it's free), do what it is you're wanting to do.

For others: Show them how much you enjoy it. Discuss the small, simple parts, if it gets too complicated, step back and focus on the small parts that makeup the whole. If it's not interesting, only the one's who want to will learn.

Here's what not to do:

Don't try to learn it all and become an expert in 5 minutes. I wanted to learn programming, and tried the free developer stuff online, but gave up because it's boring. Later, I came back to the stuff I enjoyed about programming and enjoy it.

Don't try to lie to your students about how much you know. They can tell, and you will feel fake. The wonder of, "I don't know the answer, let's find out together." and "Here's the answer, and that's how it fits with this. Isn't that crazy!!!" is so engaging and not only increases student engagement, but also your knowledge and gives you a fun teaching story about how you found out.

Whatever the goal, if you don't have a reason to keep learning, you will stop.

Enjoy the journey!

Do they want a barage of global requests for porn? Because this is how you get a barage of global requests for porn.

Does anybody know where these literal sexual demons are?
Because I want to avoid those places extra hard.

All I can hear is infant screaming.
The premise was good, but that ruined the game for me. Same as Yoshi's Island. Infant screaming.

I like this sentiment; it is very good.

Give me about 5 years. I'm going solo, and just now learning how much I have to know, but I have concept art and music, so I'm making progress.

I second Metroid 2. Fantastic isolation game and pretty disturbing too.

Metrod: Prime - The ACTUAL walking simulator (looking at you, Death Stranding)

 

Is there a kbin App? I'm new here and would love to use an app like lemur or mastodon if there is one that works for kbin. Anyone know of a good app to use with kbin?
