39 - Trans - Seeking other techy / nerd types

I'm an artist / game developer looking for other like minded and educated people.

I'm not much of an "alternative" type of person... I don't smoke or drink... instead I'm more of a computer nerd that has played many RPGs and comes from D&D and Tolkien that wants to live in a little cottage tower in the woods while homesteading and continuing my work.

Also, yes, I'm trans... but the easiest way to think of me is a guy that looks feminine and dates other guys (rarely).



Anyhow, I've finally saved up enough cheddar that I'm thinking of getting land this next year and starting to build my cottage and whatnot. But figured I'd see if there are other people in my age range and position looking at something similar.

I figure romantic partner would complicate things, so am more open to non-romantic friend that is aiming to get going also...

My big goal is to have a nice garden and a few animals (I grew up around animals), and a very well stocked pantry while trying to figure out how to grow tree woven chairs or something..... but I also appreciate the modern technologies of the world, such as fine VR movies and bideo gams.

PS. My name isn't actually Bob Just figured that would be a better name for this type of forum

Did you go to school for your game development? Any titles that might be known that you have your initials on? There are so many games out on so many platforms that is it mind boggling. Computers and programming makes it easier to work from home, doesn't it? It is refreshing to see the many types of people with many interests on Permies.

I read through some of your other posts. Interesting that you look for alternative methods and understand why and why they do not work instead of insisting they do or will. Is there a design you have settled on for your home? Have you had progress?

Hi,

Intriguing post. I’d like to chat and follow you on your journey. Send me a moosage if you’re interested in chatting.

Bob,
One tiny flaw I see in your vision is the lack of connectivity in rural areas. Most of use suffer dialup speeds and lag issues. Not good for gaming.

I am sending you a PM to offer some additional information.
