I feel like my game is more or less complete. I just need to replace some of the sounds from BS Zelda with stock assets or sound effects of my own, as well as finally giving the main character an original sprite, and including item fanfares along with a sound effect when the player dies (it needs to be in-sync with the death animation).

Other than that. I really don't know if there is anything to add, outside of bug fixes, and maybe some balancing.

Make your own apple trees—Online grafting classes from Seed Savers Exchange (US)

SSE sends you the materials you need (rootstock, grafting knife, etc.), classes meet online

Grafting is a great skill to have. You have many more options for varieties, and it saves a lot of money versus nursery-grown trees. I graft 20-30 fruit trees every spring to distribute in my community.

One of the sad things that I've learned as I got older is that sometimes you have to sacrifice your goals and dreams for someone else's well-being. It won't happen to everybody, but it can happen to anybody. It could be something like taking care of a family member's children because the family member in question got killed in an accident. You could just have those kids be put up for adoption, but you would look like an asshole for doing it.

Nothing like this has happened to me, but it is something that I think about constantly. I always think of Ken Sugimori, the original Pokemon artist. He had to give up his lifelong dream of being a manga artist just so his friends can achieve their short-term goal of releasing the first generation Pokemon games on time, and that's an even less extreme example.

Sacrificing hopes and dreams is unfortunately a fact of some lives, but if it happens, it should be for someone close to you and the situation should be dire. Don't do it because your mom told you that you don't care about anyone else but yourself.

I discovered some wiki where you can create an article about yourself, your company, your project, etc. Basically it's Wikipedia but without the famous people only rule.

Might be useful for self-promotion if you consider yourself a micro-celebrity.

The true richest people in the world are not the Gates and Bezos and Musks ... the ones with the most power keep their wealth distributed and their names away from public scrutiny.

Sometimes I get inspiration when people talk about dreams or doing stuff. In this case @SpurgAnon has been having dreams about some kind of, ultra violent Christian version of doom.

And, I am not really sure what his vision IS, but it did get me interesting in making a tiny doom like game in Godot 4.3

I've included a video of the game play, and the project, which should be as easy as, installing Godot 4.3 and importing, and clicking play.

This was made 100% using my steam deck, and free programs xD (and it is only a single room, so don't expect a lengthy play time xD)

A special thanks to IcedQuinn for giving me good recommendations for sound synthesizers.
