A goal is good. Start working toward it, learn what you need as you need it.

Try writing the topics down, then sorting them into a tier list of what you’d most like to learn if you had to choose. Take the few things at the top, and try to set aside regular scheduled time each day/week to focus on them.

Once you have topics, do some searches for ‘how to learn x’, etc. Sort through the slop, you should find some people eager to share how they learned it.

Also, ask around on Lemmy for individual topics.

Depending on the topic/sort of topic, find a textbook. Those are exactly an attempt to layout a learning plan. You don’t have to read it cover to cover or do every exercise, but follow how they’ve organized material. Same kind of thing, you can search and find course syllabi that college profs have put online for free, or MOOC stuff like MIT OCW.

I haven’t tried it, but there’s a line in the article “Offline play is unaffected.” Does that mean there is an offline mode, or just that there still won’t be one?

Ideally I’d like to see them do a physical console release next year with the final build. But I know that has no chance. Also ideally, and probably just as unlikely, would be great if I could play it on Linux. AFAIK there’s anticheat that wouldn’t let me play online if I tried.
