THING FOUR: I HAVE IDEAS AND PLEASE TALK TO ME

The plan is to spend several months at home figuring out what I want to do next. This will involve a lot of research/contemplation and messing about with some personal projects I’ve got ideas for. I’m really interested in the use of games to solve real world problems and help people (in big or small ways), and I’d love to discuss this with anyone who’s worked in the field of serious games, or anyone who knows of good resources I should check out/events I should attend! I’m starting to build up a big list of these myself and I’m really excited by what I’ve found so far. Also, if anyone’s made changes to their lifestyle – inside or outside of work – because of feelings about the current state of the world I’d love to hear about how that went! Any info I can get is really going to help me come to some conclusions about what I’d like to aim for next.
