Outside of Learning

Gaming and Indie Games

While I have previously mentioned that I am working through the freeCodeCamp curriculum, I also have interests outside of learning. Gaming has been a big part of my life for more decades than I care to mention. With my desire to migrate from Big Tech this year, all the PC games I purchase have Linux versions and most are from indie developers.

Tabletop Role-Playing Games

My love for indie games led me to itch.io, where I discovered solo tabletop role‑playing games published on the platform. This was helped by Dan Qui Dam maintaining The Hermits Club, a curated list of such titles. I have based most of my downloads on that list. Through playing these tabletop games, I’ve had to learn new rulesets and hope to review these titles one day via a blog, bringing programming and web development back into play.

Balancing Life

Time spent with family and friends are the true exceptions to my life within code. I also try to connect with nature through long walks, finding peace and quiet for my ever‑active mind. Additionally, I often volunteer within the local community.

Community Invitation

I’d be interested to hear how other members of the DEV Community enjoy their life outside of learning. Please feel free to share!
