Bought a new mousemat a few weeks ago the gel hand rest thing broke just from normal use and gel burst out the side already, Not really worth chasing it up for a return, seems so insignificant but damn I wanted it to last a little longer then 2 weeks
Looked forward to have last weekend to work on some personal projects. I ended up having a hardware failure and spending all of Saturday running tests to find out eventually it was a bad stick of ram. Then on Sunday, got a virus somehow and how to spend all Sunday reinstalling Windows and software.
So yah, the weekend was not as productive as I had hoped.
...JAYYYSUS-H-CHRIST!!! just realised something both at the same time absolutely HORRIBLE whilst extremely TERRIFYING to even comprehend for a second. That this mutha-fucker has had his greasy mitts on the "Football" for over a MONTH now.
Oh well on the plus side at least, will definitely spend what remains of it attached to the broken end of a bottle of Mr Jim Beam's finest blend, trying to purge from my mind the pure fuckness of it all.
Trump is by far a problem to what was running for President. Anyhow, this didn't make me feel like crap so much as Grocery Stores are demonic hell, after having a yelling argument with a few cashiers over a policy. Why I rather starve at times then buy food.
I spent most of the day reconsidering whether I should be learning Houdini, because it is both difficult and not at all fun. I don't think I've ever had a fun time learning new software, though.
Had to spend a bunch of time looking over videos of cool stuff made in it just to keep myself motivated. But that's hard, when it sees so little use in games. I accomplished jack-all today, because most of it was spent lying down thinking about how badly I don't want to go over more training, and contemplating how useful it would be if I did. Now I feel gross from wasting an entire day
European low cost grocery stores in the US... less variety of food, same price as regular US grocery stores, no hand baskets, "insert a quarter" carts, Buy(Bring)-Your-Own-Bags.
In Canada we are use to insert a quarter or even a dollar for carts, and using your own bags as I'm not paying $0.05 cents for each bag. I do like European foods so that fits in perfectly for me We have kindereggs everywhere, they're boring.
Being told I'm overworked and underpaid by my co-workers and knowing I have to leave, but working too often to ever put together a decent portfolio. I'm going to have to quit just to get another job.
...well not necessarily 'crap' per se but a real pain the bum nevertheless.
Namely WW2 vintage Teutonic military ordinance engineering at it's finest; Too be precise sub-d modelling these track link for my "Königstiger" personal project are taking forever and a day
(by last count 6th iteration and hopefully last...everything crossed)
I might have to lay low for a few years without actively seeking out a career because of my monthly monetary compensation from the VA. My monthly cashflow is just about comfy enough now, and for complex reason other vets advised me not to pursue an accredited education for now.
From Uncle Sam's POV I am totally disabled, and that can be somewhat justified because some medications given by the VA medical system wrecked me internally. So I consider the disability compensation and SSDI I receive as the compensations for the huge mishap they made. I am allowed to have a marginal job so the total income flow per month is great.
And it's screwing up my contract work. With a salary job I never felt guilty taking a sick day, but as a contractor you almost seem more indispensable and I hate screwing up people's deadlines.
getting RFP's from potential clients, spending 2 days assessing and breaking down the scope of work to provide a thorough and accurate bid, only to find out after submitting that the funding isnt in place yet, and they're just kicking tires for when it is (if ever).
Family member of old age does not have any savings and we're struggling to help him live. When he gets the cash, he spends it in crap. When we confront him and tell him to get his shit straight, he gets mad at the whole family and won't listen to anybody. We love him, but this crisis that has lasted for too many years now has skewed our image of him into something really disgusting.
The actual state of the Video games Industry. FUCKING Loot-boxes, Micro-transactions, worthless DLC, Pre-order bullshit, dumbing down, forced Diversity (vs natural Diversity), unfinished products, Day 1 patches, etc....
After a fully productive week where I managed to finished on of my personal project (SUPER PROUD!), today and yesterday, I ended up streaming YouTube videos all day and spending my time on reddit....Feel like complete shit...

It makes me sick.
I'm black and even I cringe and gets unconfrtable when I can sense a black or female character was put there just for the quotas..
My first cringe was when I was watching desolaiton of smaug and there was a shot with a veiled black women getting worried..like she beasically had her own shot, full face zoomed as a villager in a fantasy medieval setting..felt awkward...
You mean affirmative action. It's happening with everything. Ask yourself are those people qualified for the position or are they simply given it on the backs of those who could preform the role or position better ?
Completely ashamed to be making my first post on this site in this thread but... whatever I guess.
Today I reached my capacity with my students. I teach L2 and L3 college/high school kids game design, 3D modelling basics and general media research. Trying to engage students by discussing level design types... none of them are passionate about games, most haven't even heard of games outside of FIFA, COD, Battlefield and PUBG. This is killing me inside.
Another Year, another fucked up and half-assed DRM (over)-loaded and cheap Ubisoft PC-port. Well, if they don't want my money, they won't get it. I thought i might give them another chance after passing over the last two AC games, but who am i kidding. I know what they think about PC-gamer and the feeling is mutually. I hope the financial short-term gain is worth the long-term image damage.
I will go to a small trip with my motorcycle after 2 hours but just know I found that my phone charger is not working. This is making me feel crap today.
Receiving designs as powerpoint files... hell why are people doing this?
it's the poor man's photoshop. It's the only way some poor office workers can feel free and creative, just like real artists... (well, and then there is the crazy guy in Japan who paints in Excel)

Yeah i know, but it´s weird that the powerpoint has a jpg embedded that was clearly created in a software like photoshop. Because powerpoint has no copy stamp and masking tools .
I was going to install one small thing in my bike. I was excited but later on few people said it will be good few said it will be bad, Now I am confused and do not know what to do and my day is crap....

No actually i don't hope that.
It’s official. Scotland is now in mourning for the passing of their beloved Irn-Bru – gone, but not forgotten.
Their add still makes me laugh.
This is making me feel crap today.
