I tried to post this blog earlier, but nothing became of it.
The likestats page has come to upset me immensely. I've fallen off the +1 comments board entirely and have shuffled to 15th in blog likes. *sigh
(I guess it would be hard to maintain though, given I've fallen from 1 blog / 1 day to about 6 days / 1 blog.)
I had a dream recently where suddenly, for some reason, it was suddenly 2014. I think I somehow managed to throw away an entire 2 years on something (it might have been some sort of coma) and woke up one day on September 24, 2014. That dream was
awful.My dreams generally do a horribly shitty job in coherence, so the fact that that particular one did well to
1) not include people that it would be illogical to
2) not include impossible things like flying people
3) have people, like my parents, act as if yes, 2 years really did pass and everything is totally normal
made for a dream that unsettled me to my core.
Depression? What depression? Oh, yes, that depression. I seem to have misplaced it, and I've been much too busy to look around. I'll inform you if I find it.
Speaking of business,
I've had to cancel all of my projects everything is effectively hiatus'd, again, because my parents enjoy revoking computer privileges. This has escalated to where we can't keep a Nintendo 3DS in our rooms at night.
Have any of you played La-Mulana for the Wii? It's 10 dollars, sure, but it's pretty great. We're 9 minutes in, out of a projected
forty million.My work hours are being cut by my parents to accommodate for an excess of studying. Three hours for every one hour of school, they say. This adds up nicely to 27 hours of study per week. I question how I'm supposed to sink 9 hours of time on the use of probability in logical arguments.
A co-worker of mine has decided to act more brash and ornery towards me- with the convenient timing of 'right after I decide to stop with the straightness pretense around him.' If I confirm this to be the case, I have it written in my planner to assault him, in the high-priority purple ink.
I've picked up Rytmik Retrobits, as well as downloaded a copy of Famitracker. I'm having a much easier time with one as opposed to the other, no points for guessing which is which.
I made a song in Retrobits after about 45 minutes of tinkering. I'm still lost when it comes to Famitracker.
Someone should please explain what the big hoo-ha is about Starbucks and it's horrendously overpriced coffee. I recently gave them a shot again and once again found my 5-ish dollars wasted on a coffee product that I had to dilute in sugar or something before drinking. That, and they misspelled my name again.
My parents are making me paranoid about my job security. My co-workers fuck up orders about as often as they say "hello" and my mom and dad's all "oh how come so many people are coming in with complaints
are you screwing up all of the orders how many mistakes do you make oh it's a wonder why you're still employed"
I'm gonna go before it gets too late. It's 11:55 and I still have 8 pieces of art to write blocks of notes on before I go to bed today.
Unless there is something keeping you in Texas (It is Texas, right?) I would think about moving to a nice enviorment in NewYork, Canada (Someplace nice in canada), or California.
Heard recently that the two biggest indie game scenes (in the US I guess) are in San Francisco and NYC, actually.
idk about living/office costs thoughIs that supposed to be a jab at me? :P
Game development is one of the worst and most competitive industries. Some stories of indie game devs give me chills at night (Like stories of indie game devs that spend a lot of time cramming in these office like environments with friends, even getting something that people end up downloading - but still end up homeless on the street. And the successful ones make something like $20K/year - almost nothing compared to any other job ), and mainstream game development isn't any better, though better paid (and I hope you're a programmer, its more competitive for everyone else).
I'm not giving up.
Well, ideally, a degree in one of the two would be what I'd get.
@ludamad'Professional indie developer' seems like kind of a silly job description.I'd probably be just fine putting up with a job that I hated if it meant that I could still tinker around with games and fuck around on sites like this one <3
