  I think when you’re probably shooting (as in filming) stuff you can’t just shave your head in the middle of an ongoing project.

  Otherwise I’d agree with the sentiment he should actually shave his hair but in this specific circumstance it doesn’t feel disingenuous.

  Seconding chopsticks, they’re a little tricky to use but you get used to them with practice. It’s nice to not have gross hands after snacking.

  Or you can also go the whole I’m a gross monster route and just shake the bag into your mouth, I’m certainly guilty of that.

  I think the problem most people have is that they expect things to happen instantaneously

  In my experience it’s oftentimes men that are looking to date women way more attractive than them. Like some fat slob incel that refuses to date or bang a chubby chick and then gets mad they’re not picking up women that are hot AF and upset “nobody will date [them].”

  It’s stupid, I know a guy on discord just like that. Unattractive fat guy and when I mentioned I think the biggest thing to coupling is being realistic and dating people about the same attractive level … Dude balked at that. Was like “what about a guy that has a great personality,” the man is delusional. No job, on food stamps and just getting by, living in a one bedroom (maybe studio?) apt, slobby and fat then hits the surprise Pikachu face that women don’t want to date him. Not to mention his social skills. Talk about a total lack of self awareness.

  Sure maybe if you were extremely rich a woman might overlook your physical appearance but let’s be realistic here.

  That to me is the problem most people have but I agree with the instantaneous thing too - it takes time to get in the groove so to speak. I’ve seen it go both ways gender wise just picking on my fellow dudes here.

  That’s awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

  I’m not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

  Maybe that’s why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

  Personally, I’m just some schlub on the internet, but I’d strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you’ll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren’t successful, most indie game companies fail. There’s a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you’re in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

  Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I’d think long and hard about the risk you’re accepting.

  I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.
