Thats why i jokingly bully people that say they cant do their creative project because they dont have this or that. Just fukin doooo iiit. Just start. If you arent motivated enough to do it on the second setup, you wont finish it anyway.

I can't do my creative project because I'm supposed to be working

I can’t do my creative process because I’m not creative

I'd argue you just haven't found your outlet yet.

For me it's the inlet that's the issue.

Try drinking more water

Have you considered lube?

Same, and even when I've been thinking about it all day once I'm off I'm too drained most of the time.

I can't do my creative project because executive dysfunction stops me from getting things moving when I try to start

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Hello me! I have ideas that are so cool though :(

I think that's separate from what the higger comment is talking about. They're saying if you're just making excuses because you don't have the equipment, the equipment won't help. Mental health is a separate issue

You have to break it down into smaller chunks that you can focus on long enough to complete. What happens if you're so bad that the chunks have to be essentially meaningless? I don't know either, someone please help.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah but breaking down a task is a task and we all know how that goes

I can't do my creative project because I don't have hands

As someone with dysfunctional hands, assuming you're not kidding, speech recognition and eye/head tracking has come a long way. Unless your creative project is detailed art. It hasn't come that far.

ok, but sometimes you end up with aesthetics that are incongruent with your emotional expression, and sometimes end up with a trash tier product.

That might be sad but still much better than not having done it.

Learning from failure > Not learning anything

I am on my 4th solo game dev project right now. I havent finished any of the previous ones, but each attempt was better and more complete than the one before it.

Get it to where each new thing is a tweak. Tweaking is easy and satisfying.
