Planet Piss /s
I don’t have side projects because it’s hard enough to simply get up for work 5 days a week.
I maintain a handful of RimWorld mods, going on about 6 years now. They’re in a pretty stable and mature place so they don’t take too up much effort, but I do check for Steam commens a few times a day, to make sure nobody found any bugs or major issues.
Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).
I’m not sure I could say I’m the sole producer, most of my mods are cases where the original author has stepped away from modding and I saw an opportunity to add some improvements of my own while carrying on the torch (I stand on the shoulders of giants and all). I think I’m most known for Camping Stuff and Snowy Trees, since those are the mods that I started with, but I’ve since adopted a few more, but if you’re interested in the full list, here’s my Steam / GitHub
My bedroom electronics maker lab setup probably qualifies. I’ve rewired LED’s and added some printed wire guides for my laptop stand’s Ethernet cable. I also hung my SMD parts bins, and built shelves for my DMM and scope. I started that around 6 months after I was disabled, so 10 years ago.
I’ve been working on a raspberry pi based music notes box for shows on and off for about 5 years. I can count through and change songs with my foot, so I have an easier time keeping track of where I am in the song for live shows (I’m the bassist). I did all the programming and hardware stuff.
