Uh-oh, I sound like a father. Any moment someone will come and ask me why I don't have kids yet! Anyway, having your own studio sounds awesome, even if a modest one. And a real Windows 98 PC is every retro fan's wet dream... sadly I don't really have enough space to get one. Plus, I don't want to give people any more reasons to consider me a hopeless nerd that needs to have kids ASAP!

But, of course, being cousinless will be the greatest benefitm considering how nasty they are. It's one of thoser things that makes me glad my family is fairly compact and thus I don't have to worry about numerous relatives and their numerous demands.

Yes, pacing is the best thing about being solo. Even in a MMORPG I try to do stuff alone because I always worry about teammates either rushing things or going on unnecessary detours. The other thing is the whole "you vs. everyone else" atmosphere that creates all the excitement and immersion. Some modern players may view familiarity as boredom, but for an old dog like me it is a sense of revisiting stuff that I like, going through the motions of beating it with the precision that only comes with knowledge.

Indeed, even introverts can feel lonely. At work, I am surrounded by numerous professors and engineers, as well as at least one computer nerd... and yet, the person I can really have a nice conversation is the cleaning lady. It could be because we are both very rational thinkers, whereas many of my colleagues (especially the females) are interested in weird stuff like chakras, healthy eating, astrology, that sort of stuff. Or soap operas, which I can't possibly watch unless I am tied to the coach with a lot of duct tape. When you are in such an environment, having someone with the same mindset as yourself is invaluable.

Ah yes, I noticed there was a new video. What was its name... Abdul? Aladdin? Ah, Abu. I still can't decide if it's funny or disturbing. And yes, it's good when I team can define and follow roles... otherwise it could be like doing "group" assignments at school (where you end up doing all the work for everyone else). And if there's one thing I know about writing and proofreading, it's not to overuse the thesaurus :P
