I quit after about 4000 hours. At some point it was just not worth my sanity. I still have friends who play daily and they already had well over my number of hours before I even quit...

Not a teacher and while I was ok at math I wasn't great at it. I think it's actually good to learn. I ended up switching carreers a few years ago and find myself using vector math and matrix transformations a lot. Went through my old math books and notes again to relearn and having an understanding of how the math actually works rather than just getting the result is super useful.

One example would be the dot product.

It's just a multiplication of vector components v1*v2 = (x1*x2 + y1*y2), but you can visualize and use it in multiple ways.

You can see it as the length of one vector being projected onto another. Or if you normalize them first it will tell you the angle between the 2 vectors. If the result is 1 they are parralel, if it's 0 they are perpendicular. If you do the dot product of the same vector you get the power 2 of the vector length.
