Hi and welcome.
My journey is quite unique. I started this account with a gaming focus after a major brain injury with 90% memory lost.
The game I stumbled upon was Entropia Universe, a real cash game.
This game has real life dollar based economy.
I somehow managed to become one of the top level players in this game with over 1 million skill points earned and 2600+ things I can craft......on a very limited income.
I have taken the profits over the years and reinvested in real life assets, like real estate, and stocks.
And as of 2023, the virtual crafting journey is funding a full sized 5' x 10' CNC machine for real life crafting.
I have created a database driven webpage for this CNC project for all files, information related to what is used and more to come. (links below)
I still play the game, but will be trying at least to make cool projects on the CNC, and integrating new tech with programs and sensors to improve manufacturing and bring it back home.
