Announcing: The “Worst. Game. Ever.” Blog
Confession: My primary job isn’t running video game companies. That’s actually my second job.
My primary job? I’m a full-time pancreas.
My middle daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 5.
The onboarding experience was brutal.
On Friday, life is normal. 24 hours later – you’re responsible for injecting a lethal drug (insulin) into your kid at precise doses 20+ times a day. Or… coma.
It took us a year of trial-and-error on our own kid to understand how to manage this disease – and that’s for a computer engineer and a pediatrician. I don’t know how the muggles do it.
I didn’t sleep much that year. As a therapeutic exercise, I wrote a journal analyzing the experience from my unique perspective as a videogame developer. Just published it as a blog: The Worst. Game. Ever.
In a few days, I’m going to announce a project I’ve been working on to FIX this problem.
In the meantime, if you want to understand the problem – read the blog and share your comments there.
