Nice! I'm a dev too, I'm a gamer and I'd previously been a gymnast so I didn't have much time / respect yet for the outdoors. I recently signed on with a company in the outdoor industry doing devops and I've been taking advantage of my industry discount and picking up more outdoor hobbies. I definitely still like video games but I've found they just make me mad recently. I'm really enjoying spending more time outside and having other things to do in my free time.
Oh that sounds like a good deal! Might have to start looking for something like that myself!
Yeah, I don't really play many stressful games these days or if I do I might lower the difficulty. Mostly focus on story driven games these days with a dash of rpgs in there.
Maybe we're just getting old? :D
It's definitely possible, I've been shifting to more PvE and single player games. I'm finishing up atomic heart right now and I really like it. I'd also absolutely recommend trying to join a company in the outdoor industry. It's insane what counts as outdoor equipment. Besides the normal stuff grills, smokers and for some reason crocks count. Most of the time it's 30-45% off.
