i have a scholarly interest in game design

after a long time trying to do other things, i figured i'd pretty much rather be dead than try to do anything else.  it's only september of my first semester, but i'm already leagues happier right now than i can ever remember being.
Indeed, College for programming/game design was one of the funnest times in my life too, and I still enjoy programming as a hobby, though I am too stressed out about money to do it lately.

College

funnest

College, an institute of higher learning

funnest, a non-existent word implying the past tense, as in something that has been finished

I finished college.

Or been kicked out for rampant idiocy.

One's a bit more probable than the other.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Does this mean we have to start a sub-argument with our remaining evidence and the loser forfeits half of his or her karma, rounded up?

Here's a bit of random advice that probably applies to everybody here:

You are much, much more competent than you think.

This is not because you have misjudged your own level of competence.  You lot seem to be painfully aware of your own shortcomings.  What you're less aware of, however, is a pretty simple fact.

Competence is relative.

Here's one thing to keep in mind when you peer out into American society: Stuff like Dilbert is not a hyperbole.  People really are, truly, honestly, that stupid, lazy and ignorant.  Sarah Palin is running for Vice President.  You are pretty fucking smart for a human being.

This is something you may have to remind yourself of constantly when you find yourself repeatedly submitting substandard-but-acceptable work and find armies of suits furiously sucking your cock over it.  The world sets its bar a lot lower than you do.

tl;dr: "I don't have low self-esteem.  I have low esteem for everybody ELSE."

Actually, it's "I have low self-esteem, but it's important to realize that nobody else is clever enough to have the same opinion."

And what's with this tl;dr crap?  Nothing I do is ever too long.
