Nuisance to whom? If you enjoy it, it's not hurting you otherwise and you're not making demands on anyone else then there's no reason to not do it.

 

However, I do understand the difficulty in continuing if you are having to be your own cheerleader.

Sometimes it's our own personal issues clouding the way we interpret other peoples reactions to our work. I fight with this problem constantly.

 

I don't mean this in a patronizing way but I'm proud of your accomplishments especially regarding the O2 and VB.

I think the same way too. That's why I didn't do much about homebrewing myself (heck, I already work as a programmer as my main job!). But every now and then the bug bites me again... that's why yesterday I did a hack of Atari 2600 Pole Position and put it up in the "Hacks" forum.

 

I wouldn't say you're a nuisance... some people are better at programming and some are worse, just like some are better and some are worse musicians. But those who do it in their free time aren't expected to be a master in the craft. That's why you find many amateur bands around playing music which they wouldn't be able to sell, but they still enjoy doing it. So... in the end it all depends on if you enjoy doing it if you're not in for the money. As Wham said... Do you enjoy what you do? If not, just stop, don't sit there and rot!

I still play Fatso here and there, so don't give me that nobody like to plays or cares about your games.

 

I'd say do it when you feel like it, but don't just drop it. Seems to me you like it to a point, and that is the main thing.
