Sometimes the line between work and passion is incredibly thin. Especially in an industry like ours, where the “product” we create and sell is all about enjoyment and fun.
The distinction often lies in timing and perspective.
For instance, if I take out a box of Lego pieces and start building a castle dungeon, at age 8, itโs simply seen as playtime. Fast forward to age 28, and this same activity can be clearly recognized as level designing and pure dedication to one’s work and professional growth.
And if youโre a bit older, the circle closes and you may find yourself blending both worlds and using your work tools to bring a premium touch to today’s session of Gloomhaven.
In either case, the photo would be quite similar.
To be honest, I’m a bit unreasonably proud of the upgraded experience I created in a few seconds with just a few Lego pieces. In fact, this might actually be my inner 8-year-old self-posting. Come on!, look at what I did! Look! Youโre not looking!โLOOK!!, itโs sooo cool!!
