A full year of multi month hikes across the world. I want to see it all and meet new people.
I can recommend a big stupid project where it's not a big deal if you fail.
Until recently, for me that would've meant "run Windows programs on Android," mashing together Wine and e.g. Unicorn Engine... but now there's like six different "userland emulators" vying for preference. FEX-emu, Box86, others with even sillier names.
I did manage a bespoke 8-bit FPS. That only took about two months. And then I've been idly tweaking it over the last two years. Splitscreen multiplayer, as a joke, was maybe not the best idea.
What'd take both time and space is some extremely low-end VR. I am convinced that Quest-ish headsets could cost, like, fifty bucks. The big players keep iterating clever hacks from a decade ago. Solving those problem, instead of avoiding those problems. Light should be collimated by default, which means a point source, which is any single LED. Rendering has to be detached from software performance, which means projecting the nearby world to e.g. floating dots instead of directly making a flat image. Inside-out tracking is at least the right idea, but it doesn't have to be especially good in order to ground an inertial estimate.
Book a private jet to go to California with my family. I've always really liked the idea of California and I also have a really good friend that lives there! ๐
Quality time with family then
- Learn how to cook fancy food
- Gym like hours a day
- Start a dinner club (my husband loves the idea)
- Pro bono tech support/advice for charitable organisations and non-profits
I kind of did this once! Essentially I got laid of from a job but happened to have a good money buffer and life was quite inexpensive at the time, so I just thought "fuck it" and went as long as I could without working, I made it about a year.
It was awesome! My mental health has never been better, I wrote most of a book, got pretty decent at Blender, started working on learning to make games... and then I had to go back to work and it all went to shit lol, that was several years ago and I haven't touched any of it since.
Prioritize exercise. Try to gear towards being able to run a marathon and doing some strength training and yoga.
Cook more for myself. I don't think I'd go full vegetarian, but I'd probably have less meat dishes overall.
Try to learn Spanish or Portuguese using one of those quick learning methods.
Take at least two cross continent trips. One would be between the two inhabited North American coasts. The second would either be Europe from Portugal to Finland, Australia, or the Americas from North to South.
Maybe live in a low cost Spanish or Portuguese speaking city for a month.
