Gaah, how do you deal with general feeling of "everything's shit"?

The work thing I used to love and felt like it was impactful (Unity) has been going downhill for many years, and so far does not look like it wants to stop going downhill.

What I dabble with now (Blender) feels useful, but I'm too afraid to take on more impactful areas/work/responsibilities.

And then, everything outside of "just ye olde coding" feels like it is going to shit.

Argh!

@aras what makes you afraid of taking on more impactful stuff?
@elliotc Good question! Responsibility, I guess.
@aras what's the worst case scenario? (genuine question if not obvious)

@elliotc worst case wrt blender, or worst case in general?

blender: good question. I start something, get responsible for it, and have no easy way out, I guess. Yes, stupid.

in general: war comes here.

@aras @elliotc I visited Latvia (i know, the other guys) last year. I stared at the very border every day, visited old partisan bunkers, idea that the whole thing returns felt uneasy…

recently I have no idea what might happen next day, world is in hands of old egoistic men

I am absolutely in no control of current events. That’s somehow… freeing? I try to spend time with my family and friends and try to worry only a little, cancelled twitter, stopped watching youtube…
