Hey everyone,
As many of you would know, we have some friends who think that programming computer games are cool, awesome and impressive, but there are also some people who think that this is boring, useless and “sad”. That is what they think when I tell them what I do, and it makes it hard to justify staying in on a Friday night for a good programming session. In the end, I always end up being “peer pressured” to do other activities instead, like watching a movie, having a LAN party or going clubbing. Sure these are fun and enjoyable too, and we all need our fair share of going out with friends, but sometimes I’d rather stay in and work on my projects.
I was wondering what you guys think and how you handle these situations.
