I've been thinking a lot recently about game development, what it means to me, my motivations, and what things are important to me when I do it. I never really feel like I fit in with other developers because the way I go about things is so different (though there's also some pretty big demographic differences in play too; some communities have some major problems with lack of diversity). But I think the best way to respond to that is to just embrace the stuff that sets me apart even more.
