I need to quench my thirst for knowledge and learn something new just for the sake of it.

I’ve already learned:

  • Equations and pivot tables in Excel

  • Vector graphics in Inkscape

  • Music mixing in rekordbox

  • Personal VPN on a raspberry pi 4 with OpenVPN

  • LAMP stack web hosting

  • Streaming & video capture with OBS

  • Manual & automatic backups with FreeFileSync

Things I’m open to:

  • FOSS (even beta) or free-as-in-beer software

  • A high or low learning curve

  • Tools for niche fields that I’d otherwise have no reason to learn

    Godot. Start with an idle game, move onto more. Just don’t make a horror game, way too many of those and a lot of them are bad.

      I want to use Godot to make a King’s Field-like game, but the time needed for that is something I just don’t have right now! Maybe one day! T-T

        I made a roguelike for a game jam a few months ago, it taught me a lot!

        I’d been making mostly text-based/UI-based stuff before, so it was my first “real-time” and “3D” game.

        Also, I concur: Godot is awesome to work with :)
