Coding. I love gaming and I love mods for games, but even my best efforts don't get me very far. I can't fully grasp how it works, what it means, or how to ask for what I need to know. It's not for lack of trying or exposure, I've been bullshitting my way through linux for about 16 years now and only recently learned how to use systemctl without without copy paste.
You want literally anything physical I'm your guy. This week I'm researching how to reflow the APU on a ps4 motherboard and it just makes total sense to me, but I'm struggling just to make the json files in a mod for vintage story. Totally lost when it comes to the C#.
I'm somewhat similar. I don't think it's impossible* for me, but it's easy to run into issues and lose motivation or simply lack viable ideas for learning projects. Currently stalled due to multiple system-related issues**, and chilling effect of AI (copilot).
I have a YLoD PS3 I've fixed a few times before many years ago, though it likely was a capacitor issue that was only fixed accidentally. Don't feel like spending money on caps/cooling stuff etc, not set up for soldering. I have another PS3 that currently works, not bothering to set up for firmware stuff for that either (slow internet, no easy way to monitor progress).
* I completed a sweeper clone months ago (in the one somewhat-niche language that I actually like) and that actually went great but I haven't been able to share it. So haven't done anything since then
** I probably need to use a different distro but not convinced by any, and probably need a better GPU to sidestep legacy driver issue (which could help w/updating my current setup) but everything seems like a side-grade or overpriced or both
CodeAcademy is pretty good for a free self-teaching tool, you should definitely take their course! The good news is that the stuff you learn in C# can easily translate to other languages like Java or Python. C# also has a lot of nifty synthetic sugar, it's a fun language
