holy fuck i just realized i achieved my life’s goal at the ripe age of, uh, 17. wanted to be a professional musician. went out busking. someone put a one in my case. it’s all i made that day but MISSION ACCOMPLISHED FUCK YEAH. I never said i necessarily had to be a good musician or nothin
I didn’t even know my current goals were a thing when I was 17.
I’m currently solo-creating a physiotherapy game console that helps sick kids have an enjoyable and better experience doing their health-preserving physiotherapy. That’s my current hobby project. And it’s all open source with the build plans available for parents who can’t afford to buy a ready-made version.
At age 17 I didn’t even know that’s something one can do.
What I mean, it’s good to have goals, but life isn’t over when you achieve them.
Thanks! Current target price is €100 for the assembled version. That just about covers the production cost and assembly time, but not the development time.
But if I ask for any more, it might get difficult to finance for some families and difficult to justify for even more families (even though the therapy adherence goes way up with my device, but the parents don’t really know that before they buy).
I don’t have any certifications and stuff behind that, so insurance pays nothing for it…

Good on you for not selling it to some “Healthcare” company that’ll sell it for 10 grand a pop, or 9 after insurance.
