I remember someone on this forum asking at some point who our heroes are and that they were dismayed when multiple people were saying that they don't have any. I think this is an interesting topic (though I'm having trouble finding that discussion). I'm hesitant to have heroes because they may... is milk-shake duck still known? But at what cost! I want heroes now and I'll just not agree with everything they do or say. I'm clearly celebrating something they are doing rather than everything they do. And I'm going further and further into the idea that heros are not actually achieving what they are famous for, but they are convenient personifications of a bunch of effort from many coming together. So, for my first hero I'm going to shout out Baba Amte who helped start a leprosey colony that turned into a large commune that seems to focus on accessibility.

I've recently been thinking about it, and realized I've never had a hero to speak of. The closest person I could think of is my father, but, to put it plainly, he's disappointed me to such a degree that I can't see anyone looking up to him now. I've always tended to visualized an idealized version of myself as someone to aspire to be. Technically, I guess I've always been my own hero. I never looked up to anyone in the game industry, as I either didn't know enough about the industry to have a reference or never saw someone like myself in a position of power. I still don't, mostly because I still don't see anyone like me in a position of power or importance (e.g. a lead developer, head of a game studio). I can't decide if that's weird or not. To rectify that, I want to start a small discussion about our personal heroes. Did any of you have heroes when growing up? Just anyone you looked up to or wished to be?
