"but how are you going to make money from <hobby>?"

You fool, you misunderstand me. I aspire to heights of unmarketability not previously known to mortal senses. When capitalism peers into the abyss of my creations I aspire that it will recoil in horror from the eldritch abominations it witnesses there (fan game of the unicorn chronicles by bruce coville, now on gameboy color)

@solient You get me!! I would 1000% rather make the sort of hyper-niche stuff that gets one person to light up and smile uncontrollably than a hundred thousand people drop ten bucks and forget it the next week.

@rex Well put! It's not a hobby if the point is to make money from it.
