  • There is some interesting research on procrastination as an emotional problem. It’s important to note the difference between procrastinating and being lazy. Procrastination is typically productive (I am cleaning the house or being active and engaged in some way instead of writing that term paper) and laziness is not (I haven’t eaten or bathed because I don’t want to and my ass is glued to the couch while I passively watch TV).

    The main hook into procrastination is that your subconscious percieves a low emotional return for the task to be performed. Instead it finds any other task it percieves to have a higher emotional reward and sets you about doing that instead.

    It helps to intentionally focus on how good it will feel to complete the task you are putting off, and so you sort of hijack your own brain.

    Indie solo video game dev here.

    I am okay with gamers “requisitioning” games if they truly can’t afford it. While it is my livelihood, it’s also my attempt at art and I want people to enjoy it. I even plan on releasing a safe cracked copy for the next game.

    If you pirate a game, there are ways to help support us starving devs if you like the game.

    1. Spread the word far and wide that you like the game. A little effort on your part can save us marketing budget and trigger new sales.

    2. In the future if you have the financial ability, buy a legit key on sale. Even at 75%+ discount it helps.

    But please don’t cost us additional money. It costs time and money to process chargebacks triggered by the key resellers selling keys procurred with stolen credit cards.
