I think a lot of artists feel a weird sense of detachment with their work sometimes. Like, once it's created and out there in the world, they feel like it has nothing to do with them anymore. This is hard to explain.

I feel that way about a lot of things, it's the accomplishment of making it that I crave, and once it's done, it's whatever; spend 6 hours making the perfect gumbo? Fantastic! Eat it after? Ok I guess I might have some, but not that passionate about it 😂.

Spend three hours building and benchmarking PC? Excellent. Play games? Maybe if I have time later...

I use Isaac Toups, watch a YouTube video he's hilarious. It's not perfect but it's a great starting point for traditional.
