      One way is making raytracing shaders for older games. I recall one korean dude whose patreon was raking in ~50k dollars a month, several of his releases/posts were about adding raytracing to Fallout 4

        Thanks! Sounds like a significant learning curve.

        Not that I’m opposed. Currently reskilling myself from bored accountant to hopefully some sort of IT wizard. Just learning everything I can get my hands on and doing projects like building / maintaining a home server, building a PC, switched to Linux last year, and coding some small projects in Python.

        I just feel like I’m learning such basic things and won’t be able to actually make money with any of this for years. It’s frustrating lol

      The crazy thing is that you can literally just do this by studying engineering for a few years. It’s not that hard, it just takes some work.
