Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
So this issue has come up for myself and a few other colleagues recently. I like a few others here (i suppose) are currently at university getting a degree in the game-art field. Although the university sucks (too late to quit), the one good thing is i feel motivated because my major has its own private computer lab to… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
Yeah, I know where you're coming from. You're going to see this in any school, and any major. Just don't let your passion turn you into a bitter person who talks down on others. It's not a flattering mask to wear. I was at school every day it was open, 12+ hours a day, for 4 years. I skipped the labs altogether, and ended… -

I'm in the same boat. We currently are about 10+ in the class, and it's actually sickening on how lazy some people are. We have 3 semesters in total (onto the final big stretch) and apart from me and one other guy, who not only knew the Uni/College would suck in terms of freelance teachers, but that we constantly need… -

Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
Unless them playing games is actively preventing you from using the lab computers, then that was a dick move. Live and let live. Stop worrying so much about how other people choose to spending their time and handle your own business. Life's shitty enough without you coming along and telling others how they can and can't… -

Oniram, It's unfortunate that you have to deal with this at school. Just do like others have said. Surround yourself with motivated people and do the best you can. When it comes to team projects make sure the team leader and instructors have a list of who is responsible for what. It's an even bigger tragedy when you have… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
I've come across many people like this while I was in art school. I've also came across many people like yourself. I've never understood the reasoning behind pointing out that other people "don't give a shit" or watching them so hard that you know how often and what games they play when, you think, they should be doing… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
Same with our University but It's more so on the computer games programming class that shares the game development labs with us (computer game arts) class. We've had to tell them to pipe down a bit, but for the most part a chunky set of headphones which block out sound really do help. I know people on this degree who have… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
This situation has been the reason I stopped going to my Design class for most of the semester. It was like I'd go in the beginning and it would just be a bunch of idiot anime nerds yelling about shit and I'm like "Why am I here right now? I could be getting so much more done at home" So then I stopped going and started… -
Re: Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
yeah, we just got through that situation not too long ago. where our project team of 9 was cut down to 6 because 3 of them were doing nothing.. and now they are doing nothing on their own. generally i think the ONLY way these people can snap out of the habit of not doing anything is to fail a class. which none of them…
