Daddy's Home

Posted by WaleedAmer on July 1, 2015, 1:07 a.m.

This is my second consecutive "I'm back!" post so I don't really know the best way to go about writing this so I'll just tell you guys about what I've been doing for the past 5 years.

1. My brother and I made an EP which you can listen to here. It's R&B by the way lol

2. I've been coding a lot and haven't touched GameMaker in years although I do miss it sometimes. Of course I do not have a single finished product I can show you guys because my pull-out game is simply too strong. You can check out my Github though. My personal favorite project is Tapfest, which was my way of learning Socket.io and Node.js

3. I'm going to be a senior at Rutgers University this coming Fall studying Computer Science. I was on the Pre-med path up until the end of this past semester, when I finally made the switch. I had been considering it since Freshman year but I simply didn't trust that I could possibly make money by programming. It sounded too good to be true but now I'm realizing that life can indeed be nice sometimes. I'm looking forward to my career!

If you don't remember me by the way, I used to go by the name "amerup".

If you still don't remember me then I don't blame you, I never posted anything impressive on here.

I missed you kids, I'm glad to be back :)

welcome back! I've got your new EP on repeat, it's great. always good to see an old member!

@Reiddsan good to hear from you! And I suppose I was a little kid when I was active, I was in my awkward phase for sure. To clarify, btw, I'm 6 minutes younger than Basil (but I kicked him out of the womb so it doesn't really mean anything)

@hel thanks a lot! I'm so happy you guys are still active. It makes me feel pretty bad that I was gone for so long and I feel like this welcome is too warm for what I deserve

Idk how you got that idea, I always thought of compsci/software as one of the most lucrative job markets d:

<3 Stick around this time!

Edit: This blog title makes me think of the `Victor Echo November` episode of Venture Bros:

Quote:
"Blackout Target Victor Echo November Seven Niner is in Daddy's lap. Repeat, in Daddy's lap. Call off Blackout team. Daddy is going to put the boys to bed… himself."

-Phantom Limb

So when I read the blog title, I get Phantom Limb's voice saying it. Snide bastard!

It's like we're all finally awakening from our coma. Let the 64Renaissance commence

@Obelisk YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what up boi? Basil's in a coma but I'll smack him back into reality soon

@DesertFox <3 I plan to stay. Also I've never seen Venture Bros but that quote gives me the feeling that I should give it a glance
