I've spent years overthinking business ideas, money, fatherhood, work, films, games, AI and whether I locked the car 3 days ago. So naturally I started a newsletter. First post live -https://t.co/9R2W26fTv3

Making my space salvage extraction game with no idea what I’m doing. How it started -

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

A month ago I had absolutely no idea how to make a game.
Tonight I changed a white triangle into a spaceship for my top-down space salvage extraction game (what a niche, ha).

It’s still ugly.
It’s probably coded terribly. Yellow flags means it works. Haha
And half the time I break things I fixed yesterday.

But it’s becoming a real game.

One tiny step at a time.

@Timidey4you At John Wick I instantly looked at his feet. Ha

If you’re a father in your late 30s trying to build a better life while pretending you’ve got everything figured out…

You might recognise some of this.

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

Nobody tells you this about fatherhood. You don’t become calmer. You get angrier. Because now you have skin in the game. The consequences get real.

Went to watch Karate Kid: The Musical.
A story of a kid becoming best friends with a 70 year old man.

Going to Back to the Future musical next month.
A story of a kid becoming best friends with a 70 year old man.

Can’t wait until we get Up the musical.

It feels like a lot of people making money with AI are actually making money on YouTube by telling people how to make money with AI.

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

You know that feeling when a moment is absolutely perfect.

Then for absolutely no reason your brain goes:

“Yeah but one day this ends.”

What’s that about?

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

Overthinkers. Quick question.

Is it overthinkers?
Over thinkers?
Over-thinkers?

Asking for absolutely no reason whatsoever. 🫠

Think I just dislocated a finger putting fitted sheets on my mattress.
Didn’t have “getting beat up by my bed” on tonight’s plans.

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

One is the new Ferrari Luce costing £500K.

The other is the Nissan Leaf.

Only one has enough space for a toddlers bike, snacks and 400 loose raisins.

I know which one I’m choosing.

What about you?

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

My toddler just used his elbow and 100% of his body weight directly on my thigh.

I saw what God looked like.

Imagine going online and giving Henry Cavill shit because he’s a 43-year-old dad.

@PhacetheMelody Ha. There’s always got to be enough room for another guitar.

Come on now men, be honest. How many times a day do you open your calculator and add up your wages against your bills?

[TonyA @TonyOverthinks]

It’s actually a miracle how our parents raised us. Remember… they didn’t have Google.

My son after he’s spent all day at his grandparents being an angel, knowing he’s about to come home and fuck shit up 😂
