Inspired by the latest Brandon Stanton X post I'm curious what dream did the HN community give up on?

I wanted to create games on Unity and build a business there, but I changed my mind and became an open source developer.

Which develops various things, for example: https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/phono-in-terminal-image...

I used to want to do a PhD in English Literature. I had a vague idea that it was my "calling" and that being a published academic would vanquish my insecurities.

It would have been a disaster. Academia looks miserable. I can achieve far more as a programmer, and I get paid enough to live a rich and fulfilling life on top.

Creating a video game.

One of my lack of talents, probably from autism, is absolutely no musical/artistic talent. No amount of practice gets me there for art/music.

To me, a video game is trivial to make from a programming point of view, but it's all art that holds me up.

But if you have noticed, AI 3d models, AI images, AI music, AI flavour text. I might theoretically be able to make a video game?
