I'm in the same boat... I've been hanging on to several ideas for various years, but I've always been discouraged by the sheer amount of work. As a single developer, it would likely take me the majority of my life (and possibly some of my afterlife) to complete some of my more ambitious ideas. Not to mention a lack of artistic ability.
Sure, the obvious answer is to find people to team up with, but that requires being social... and compromising with people who want a say on how my ideas are built.

GTAV had a production budget of what, $140M or so?
Yeah, he should be able to pull that off.

That wouldn't be the first project like that. I've seen several video games that tried more than they could realistically achieve.

As students, we would often bait our tutors with questions like this. They would always throw them back at us to solve.
In this case, we would have been told to outline the steps required to achieve this goal. I.e. Storyboard, create simple text version to test the logic and then consider what would be required to move forward. In other words, follow the design process from beginning to end.
At the time we would groan and usually forget the whole thing but, occasionally this approach did trigger a positive response. Some of our better projects were kicked off this way so maybe it isn't always a good idea to 'dis' this sort of question.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

I know it's over when the fat lady sings.
I don't know wether Danish beer is that good or only makes you wish the fat lady would start to sing.
But I do know that danish beer cans have some great pictures of the 'fat' ladies.[^]

Drinking, eating, fighting, and pinching the girls. What a boring way to spend Eternity. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I would worry more where they bring us when we die with a keyboard in our hands.

They take us to Coder's Heaven where we just imagine what the program needs to do and the code writes itself at without bugs or logic errors.

I don't know. The eating, drinking, fighting and pinching the girls version sounded better. I could even spend quite some time with the pinching alone.

Yes, yes it does. Moral of the story, if you're going to die, don't grab your keyboard, grab a sword, or a dagger, or Odin's Gungnir, thrust it in the air, and let out a mighty warcry with your final breath.

So good that we can step over the part with the ladies. It brings you directly to Valhalla.

What is your take on Schöfferhofer: Hefeweizen Naturtrüb[^]? Going to pick up a carton on the way home tonight regardless of what you say, but always good to see how it is viewed by locals.

Personally, I used to like that sort of beer very much, I just had too much of it since I came to Munich. It still hast some of the yeast left, which will give a richer taste. Leave a small rest in the bottle when pouring it, then roll the bottle on the table. Pour in the rest after that. It will contain much of the yeast that had settled at the bottom of the bottle. That's also the reason why it's never drunk from the bottle and poured in one go (except the tiny rest to wash out the yeast) into a tall right sized glass.
Pouring that stuff and getting just the right amount of foam is a little tricky. If you have the right glasses, moisten them with some water and then old them almost horizontally when you begin to pour, then straighten them up as they fill. Good luck.

...was my son's first Calvin and Hobbes[^] day - as bedtime story. He's 9 (and yes we still do bedtime stories). I have to translate them to him (in French), so some jokes get lost in translation, but he loves it so far, so the tradition (of good taste) passes on the next generation.

From ages 7 through 8 I read my son Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. My translation was to simplify some of the English. It left a mark . . .
He plans on doing the same for his son, when old enough, using the same set of books.

there was a time I almost knew the book by heart
