I have recently started uploading videos of myself revisiting two of my favourite games of all time to YouTube.[1] I have found the experience to be a lot fun, still relaxing, and not at all stressful, high-pressure or taxing. In fact, it's been a great experience to finally express my thoughts about these games and the themes they cover out loud.
I'll probably continue recording and uploading the games that I play, I am interested in watching back my first playthroughs of games in the future, watching back my reactions when my mind was blown by a plot twist, a new boss, or a new mechanic. I really wish I had done this the first time I played games like Elden Ring or Zelda: BOTW.
Maybe my wife, my children and grandchildren will watch these videos of one of the most childlike sides of me when I'm long gone.
Perhaps more relevant to the tone of the post, I am starting to feel this way about programming. Programming is perhaps my most creative hobby, and as more and more time passes I feel similar feelings towards writing code to massively enrich execs and investors, working on codebases for products I couldn't care less about.
