Indie game development. Except more full time instead of just on weekends like I do now.

Find a deserted corner in the Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest, likely up near Haida Gawaii, and just… vanish.

I like civilization in general for the benefits it brings. I even like a few people. But humanity in general…

I truly enjoy solitude.

I can answer this because it's true. I work out daily, cook every meal, hangout all day with my dogs, explore YouTube rabbit holes, and read scifi. Without an alarm, I'm suddenly a morning person. Up by five with energy. I'm trying to figure out my next move. Weird thing is, it's probably another career. Just on my terms

[-] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

The same life but without the pressure of a job.

[-] Kualdir@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago

Game (and probably stream myself doing so) a lot, get more exercise, volunteer a bit, probably contribute to open source projects a lot more

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Write sci fi novels and take care of stray cats

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Exercise, drink wine, read more, and take tons of road trips.

[-] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

I wish I could be a perpetual student attending college. And open a business that im passionate about.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Become a blacksmith. I'd make all sorts of things.

And a welder. And a tool and die man.

I'd work with metal. And at some point I'd make a point to learn glass blowing because it's cool.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

A podcast about the pre-columbian Americas which in all honesty would be a Hardcore History knockoff.

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Volunteer, hands down. Local community stuff, create something akin to a co-op public broadcasting channel, spend time with my animals, bake and donate goods.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Basic needs only? Still work so I can have money to do more than just basic things.

[-] Azal@pawb.social 2 points 5 months ago

I don't think I'd ever leave the makerspace.

[-] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

You know those people who restore old machinery and equipment? Locomotives, historic warships, industrial sites and so on? I'd absolutely be dedicating my day to that. There's something so satisfying about seeing that old stuff work, but they're always chronically understaffed and struggling to keep up with everything.

Oh, and write a novel.

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

I would become an author and write plenty of fiction, poems, short stories. I might also get into game development. And if time permits, I would even pick up on astronomy.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Study more JiuJitsu and physiotherapy for poor people.

[-] ImmersiveMatthew@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Exactly what I am already doing. imagineering my top rated VR Theme Park and explore SE Asia and other parts of the world. Love both.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

Still work but at a reduced rate and else I would actually think about volunteering or improving my living conditions like a garden or tech at gome :)

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Knowing me, do what I normally do in my free time, but hopefully actually get projects done.

I'd have plenty of time to play games, watch my shows, listen to CDs/music, hopefully finish a project I started on Wattpad or another program, and spend time learning coding to help with my NeoCities site and some other projects I wanna work on but don't know enough to make become a realiety.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.

[-] Batmancer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Metal, leather and wood working. Bee keeping and running a little shop

[-] seeigel@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

Without joking, most likely I would watch more Lemmy.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Go into teaching. I love to assist others in their learning voyage, I love science, research, classes. However, financial realities mean that I would be starving if I pursued that path. So I find fulfillment in adjacent activities in my current line of work. I would also have an electronics workshop, repairing computers and other electronics for fun.

[-] slingstone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Exercise to get healthy and work on my garden, to start. Then I'd handle any necessary projects for my home. Then I'd find causes to support by volunteering.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 2 points 5 months ago

I would walk my dog, lift weights, study foreign languages, help my community

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm into bird watching, so I'd want to travel to see new ones and what have you.

I would want to craft more.

I would read more.

I would take language lessons

I would work on that book idea

I would take classes on anything that interested me.

I would want to have a small farm, I just think it's neat.

I'd throw parties probably, but only if poverty were eliminated for everyone.

[-] die444die@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I mean I think you can still throw some parties even before then. Just keep it realistic.

[-] GarboDog@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Would study and do arts and use our findings and research to help improve the world in some kind of way, even if its a little.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

I would make radio. I do one show a week and I sometimes struggle to find time to even prepare for that, so if time weren't an issue I'd probably end up just doing a load more.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Probably continue to work in transpiration with special needs school kids. My job isn't so much about money to me at this point I'm deeply emotionally invested.

[-] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I've been using the stress of needing to do things to keep me going. Without it I can't even imagine what I'd do.

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Go around pantsing people all day. Go so hard that it starts to feel like work. Then pants myself and end it all.

[-] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Write, write until I drop dead, with a smile in my face.
