I play Animal crossing after I get up and take a shower, then I go to classes (this is my last semester ;-;).  Then I come home and stress over the fact that I have no fucking clue where I will work this year and no concrete grad school plan other than that I want to go fall after next.  And I go swimming a lot, anywhere from 3-7 days a week.  Also, I play a lot of carcassonne at night.

..it's the wall of text posts, isn't it?

ಠ_ಠ  Maybe.

Maybe it was an event from long past. An event that involved a great many events. An ev-yeahitwasthetext.

that was the joke

The funny thing is that TF2 is the first vidja game I've really, really enjoyed in years. There have been occasionally games I've really gotten into, but I have never been a huge vidja gamer. And I've played tabletop RPGs fewer times than I could count on one hand (long story there). The only thing I've really been guilty of was excessive dabbling in CCGs.

It's not that I don't like games. It's just that I've never had the urge to do nothing but game for weeks on end.

I learn about archaeology. My father thinks that this is information which has important real-world applications. I don't want to disillusion him.

My goal in life is to work in a museum as a conservator, preserving artifacts, and hopefully getting paid by the government to not do much else, freeing up my life for precious video games time.

I got my first programming language at age 9. I gradually gave up on my childhood dream of professional game development as I learned just how difficult it is. You need to work longer hours for lower salary doing more difficult tasks to stricter deadlines than the rest of the industry, and people still think your job is playing videogames all day.

A computer game used to be done by one person working for maybe a year, and it would cost thirty or forty thousand dollars. Now we're doing these huge games that teams of specialists work on together, and they're starting to cost huge amounts of money. Within a few years it'll cost a million dollars to put together a game. When you're dealing with that much money you have to plan out every detail.

Right now I do pen-and-paper RPG writing, which is one of the few game fields where implementation costs are still low and a relative nobody can find small jobs. You can actually be the solo "ideas guy" and develop gameplay elements that people will actually use. The pay isn't usually spectacular, but it beats working on another World War 2 shooter for three years just to make a one-sixtieth contribution toward a magazine review of "76% - a disappointing sequel".

JD, the trick is to either rewrite or entirely throw out the definition of the word "professional."

I mean, if I wanted to, I could fart out something in Flash within a month or two that I'm sure will be a huge shallow-as-hell moneymaking machine.  I know for certain that the idea would make me gross amounts of money because the idea of implementing it fills me with hollow disgust.

Instead I just block off a portion of my day creating something that I think is going to be nifty, and if nobody else ever thinks so fuck 'em, and the rest of the day I spend sustaining that dream.

I convince myself it is alright to skip class and be late for work so that I may DM everyday.

Oh, I also draw pornography which you guys will never see.

Currently, I've hit one of those rock bottoms.

Did the army thing.  Then did the reserve thing fulltime.  Rode the pony, led the section, realized that it didn't take much to have good workdays... and so forth.  Then some piece of paper that isn't my fault got the base surgeon to say no to me instructing a qualification course in Kingston.  So I'm sitting here on EI working partime. 

To take it even further, I pulled an office space yesterday, but instead of the hypnotherapy, I just starred at my uniform while overhearing supervisors curse out the name of people who are more technically competent than them, or myself combined and said 'fuck it' and went on my bike instead without saying a word.  Got a date for the weekend, picked out a costume for a party the next night, enrolled for A+ certification, worked an afternoon in a Kabuki cab, then spent the night at a beach with people banging on drums.

I'm at a point where "doing all day" is going to be different..  It's nice. 

I'm thinking of starting a blog again.

You're history's greatest monster!

Im currently searching a part time job or full time so I can go back to school while collecting unemployment.

[Brentai]

Wait, you're looking for a job you can get fired from?

You know, this is actually pretyy far from rock bottom. I don't mean that in the "hur hur, you think you've got it hard..." sense.

Though it seems that you've cottoned on to the upside already. 

What's the weather like?

I am so sunburnt right now it's not funny.

How's the weather in Toronto?

[Mongrel]

Between 10 and 15 degrees, part sunny, part overcast. Absolutely beautiful.

I had lunch on the patio of the place I went to. Everybody else there thought it was too cold, but it was just fine for me (well, okay the wind picked up at the end, but it was nice enough for me).
