Not sure if this goes here or not? but ive dabbled a little here and there with different things but i lack like every skill to make a game. Im wondering what aspect or skill is worth getting better at, for gamedev?

I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

Where do i even begin or what would you advise?

I second this! Even if you study game dev at college (if that's an option for you), you won't get around that part in the end. Picking your tools and iteratively learning how to use them is the way to go. The Internet is full of tutorials.

At best set yourself achievable goals (like cloning simple games) and keep your expectations low. Don't try to do too many things at once and take your time learning.
