after 3.5 years of the same office coffee I can say it starts to taste shit no matter how good it _was_

It's beyond the taste of shit right now... I can't even SMELL that fucking coffee, when someone walks next to my desk with that coffee I start to feel sick, that's how much I can stand it now.

Drink some booze at your desks guys, it will cover the smell

Stop drinking coffee altogether, get huge migraines for a few days due to caffeine withdrawal, problem fixed.

PS: I just went through this stopping sodas altogether.

I don't drink coffee. You know what is good ?

Quote from Furyo

- All artists who love to work in darkness will probably develop severe eye problems within the next 20 years.

As someone who has worked in darkness for the last 10 years and has perfect 20/20 vision, and aware of the fact that you wear glasses, how can I trust you with this prediction?

You've still got 10 years to go

* Practice fake fart sounds so that people eventually think they are real

* Sing bohemian rhapsody with arnold schwarzenegger impression

* quote "it's my body I do what I want" In meetings

games, serious business :derp:

omg how the heck did I miss this thread?

- Design games that are fun and meet the requirements and then listen from the mouth of the company director, who previously mentioned he hadn't played more than 10 games his entire life, how they should be more game-ish.

- Spend your time researching things to improve the workflow and documentation. Then, hold your tears while you get a promotion rejected because you spent too much time without Microsoft Word displayed on your screen and they say how you should spend your time better.

- Buy a neat and geek Tetris-themed coffee mug and take it to the office. See coworkers getting crazy about it while you receive a boost in popularity. See some disrespectful fool use your mug days later and mask your anger. Take it back to your home to avoid getting stolen. See your mug broken on the sink. Cries.

- Work at a game company. Design games. Receive complaints that what you designed looks a lot like games. Try to keep your faith in humanity. Fail.
