I'm at the age where if games require such quick reactions that the difference in FPS matters, I'm going to get my ass handed to me by the younguns anyway..

Personally I need it for video editing & 3D work but I get that's a niche case compared to the gaming market.
Hell yes time for another compilation video.
I want non-dark fantasy, less "we have to save the world from the big bad guy" and more "here are the little every day things that come with being an elf/dwarf/hobbit/whatever".
Doctor who?
Yep. It's much better to focus on your quality of life right now, while keeping an eye on the back of your head for the future but I saw so many people just sacrificing everything to get that extra 20% salary, without realising inflation catches up to it faster than you get raises.
I want the salary that allows me to be independent, take care of my family and have time to spend with them, and that doesn't involve crushing my soul. Living life as happy as possible right now is more important than whatever magical number you think will solve all your problems. Personally I'm trying to achieve that by being a freelance in a passion field.
I'm sure you'll make way more once you go independent!
And parrots and wooden legs.
That still sounds on the cheap side for Europe, in some countries you'll easily have spent north of 2k€ on all the mandatory lessons and exams, or even more if you're a slow learner or fail the tests a few times.
Basically this is similar to my "organicness" argument. Reddit grew over many years and these niche subs got created as they were needed, not all at once. On Lemmy and the Fediverse in general, there will be another layer of organic growth and organisation with regards to federation, where instances will clump into "neighbourhoods" that users can choose.
I've seen "Lemmies", I've also seen "sublemmies" which brings "subs" back on the table imo. Alternatives are /c/s, commus, com's, etc.
Probably the YouTube views alone make for a pretty penny.
