    You joke, but I have watched so many YouTube tutorials on unreal engine, Godot, and Blender to learn game development stuff. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert. But I definitely know a lot more than I did a few years ago.

      I’m going to guess you did more than just watch videos… If you also applied that knowledge in practical work, you did educate yourself on how to use those tools.

      Whatever you made is the validation/grading of your education. IMO that’s a perfectly valid way to get an education, for those kinds of topics. It’s much more risky to grade yourself on abstract knowledge where you can’t directly make something and see if it works or not.

        So I should start practicing my random medical knowledge from the internet on real subjects! Got it. Thanks!
