Apologies if this is the wrong community, happy to remove and post elsewhere.

I'm essentially a beginner to programming. I know some python (made a game of hangman with ASCII art for example) but nothing more complicated than that.

I've been wanting to learn some programming, whether it's python or something else, and I think I've decided on a project I want to make (if possible?).

I aiming to make an emulation front end/GUI selector. I know there are things like RetroArch that are great, but it doesn't have access to all emulation tools (e.g. doesn't have Xbox/PS2/switch).

I'd picture just opening one program GUI that can select the "system" you want to use, then it provides a list of games.

The complexity that I can see is that even if I can run the actual emulator in a container or use a custom GUI to open the emulator it won't 1) be able to show a games list within the same GUI and 2) it won't be an easy back and forth to change emulators.

Not looking for anyone to solve the problem for me, just hoping for some advice on where to start like languages and what I should be trying to learn etc. or if it's even possible. I'm aware there's a high chance it's not!

I've got years to learn and build before my kid might use it, not in a rush.

Thanks!

We've transitioned our 1yo out of our bed and to their own cot. We had to co-sleep after they puked on their old cot and refused to sleep at all once it was cleaned. Every time we've gotten them used to the cot something messes it up like travelling etc. but it's finally looking like something stable.

I was amazed the other night because it was the first time ever we didn't need to hold a hand or pat them to sleep, I could just lay them down in bed and watched them drift off.

The sleep is a little better but still not sleeping through the night and also constantly sick from daycare so they keep waking up cause of the coughing. When they were with us it was a lot easier to put the pacifier back in and go back to sleep but now we have to get out of bed to send them back to sleep.

Then there's also the night feeds... we're still doing a 10:30pm bottle and another bottle anywhere from 3am to 7am, it all depends on how much they ate during the day. Which they've now decided they don't like any of the food we make even though it's exactly the same stuff that would be at daycare. Which then prolongs the cycle of not eating enough and needing night feeds and then not eating much because there was milk overnight. I feel like we have to cut the night feeds somehow but it feels really cruel to starve them when they're used to it...

I just hope getting them to their own bed will be a positive turning point and we'll actually be sleeping through the night soon. I know other people have it worse but everyone I talk to directly has babies that sleep from 8pm to 8am with no stirring and no bottle, it's making me feel like I'm messing something up. Overall still feels like we're taking positive steps though.

Thanks for reading the rant.

I'm currently in the process of writing a song. I've got a tune and I'm putting the lyrics together but I'm always concerned that any tune I think of might just be another song I've heard somewhere randomly that I don't remember hearing.

Do I just have a shitty memory or is this a problem that other people have too?
