Am I being stupid/unrealistic/weird for aspiring myself as an indie game developer?

Probably, but if you enjoy it, do it anyway! Just take care of yourself :D
I think we all gotta be a little out there to dive into the gamedev mess :P

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Man, who even cares? Just keep doing it if you want to.
It's a great hobby and creative outlet.
Just remember you make stuff that a lot of people enjoy from all over the world! :)

Not really. Just remember that it's not the most stable career right now and it'll demand A LOT from you, in more aspects than just gam mak, but if you can manage it, more power to you!

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Here's a fantastic inspirational quote for you from a guy who sings dumb songs about his dick and watches his friend play video games for a living.
"You just have to be at peace with what you are and what you really want to be. Like, a lot of people will say, 'I'm an aspiring artist,' or 'I'm an aspiring writer.' NO! You're a writer! You're an artist! If you're doing that shit every day, that's what you are. Just own it."

Thanks for the support, yo! You guys are the best. I guess I am a bit crazy for being a game developer (especially after experiencing the insane amount of work it actually takes to make a game). I'll just have to hang in there and give it my all! I mean that's all I can do, right?
@LockeZ: Aww, I love Dan! He's IMO one of the coolest big cats on this planet. I remember that quote too and I think it's pretty accurate.

As many eggs as I can! Slowly, but surely, another egg is put in the basket.
My main goal right now is to grow a bit more as a developer; learn new stuff, get into pixel art, learn some more coding, improve on my grammar/writing. When I feel more confident and ready, I'll try to go commercial.
I'm going to try to play it pretty safe though and create a game around the aspects that I am most familiar with.

That's all you can do, buddy! And we all support you. :D
Actually that's what I'm doing! Sticking to what i know for my first commercial game.

That's great to hear! I'm always motivated to hear from others that are in similar situations.
I can't wait to hear more about this game of yours. Also, let me know when you need a tester! I won't let any damn bugs get past me, yo!

I didn't read all the comments here, but the question in my mind is that you... didn't consider yourself an indie game developer already? Unless the question was in regards to being more professional about it? I dunno. I'll just show myself the door.

Well, I kind of do, I guess. By "indie game developer", I mostly meant someone who develops non-AAA games for a living.
