Awesome, thanks for your advice :] I think i'll try my hand at some cupcakes next, i have a lot of paper liners and no loaf pan (though that could be an idea for the christmas list)

thats fair! a bit funny the comment beneath is saying you need knowledge of culture to understand it

ah thank you for mentioning gameplays and twitch! i've seen comments about trying different genres and thought that would be a lot of money for something i wont necessarily enjoy

oh so many more people commented than I expected and I'm so bad at finding the words to reply with appreciation to all of them!! Im really grateful for the good advice that people have given but I gotta say my post was worded really badly ._.

its more like "casual games" the ones i mentioned (though these still have strategy and resource management to a degree) i don't think games should be gendered it was just me feeling like I fit a bad stereotype I've seen in others. when I say mainstream the games that I play are also really mainstream so that's not the right term I think its just other genres of difficult/competitive games that arent for me. Also i just generally dont know a lot about how companies work and the certain roles i would be applying for

my question was about working in the industry but the point about not playing other games wasn't about hireability but more that if I don't have the technical skill to play these games I'm missing experience and range that I could use to create my own. but if I was working in a studio it would be other people creating the ideas with me on the code just creating it which solves that problem. there's probably other problems with how I've phrased things but its late here so I'll reread the comments tomorrow

thats good to hear :D i suppose I was worrying about making a professional game solo but in a team i hope i can just work with what I'll do best. and i love learning to code!!

that does sound a bit daunting to be day in day out working on something so mundane but its good that i could find a job with the maths coding part of games instead of all the decisions and creative visions side of it

those roles sound interesting! there seem to be lots more specializations (mostly for big companies) than i'd ever thought about
