    child me taught myself a functional amount of actionscript in like 2008-9 and all i got for my trouble was a couple flash games and a massively decreased interest in game design as a career.

    i also learned a bunch of batch and VBS, whole lotta fucken good those are doing me.

      This is worth a lot though. It takes many people a few years of their life, a burnout and a lot of mental healthcare to get to this point.
