    I had some kidney stones but I passed them naturally. It was super fucking painful... Like someone was constantly hitting you in the balls

    Yeah the pain was insane.. I spent a week in the hospital, where I followed a shock wave lithotripsy treatment, that didn't directly help and even made it a lot worse the days after. But after 2 weeks just one day before surgery I passed them naturally. Now I just need to consume a lot of water and less coffee to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    mh yeah, I'm thinking about that. Yager said I'd still have a job there, if I'd want to finish university next year.


    Yeah, mean. Because of my degree I could start working in Canada. I know a lot of people who have trouble without a degree

    I didn't feel like work today. Came in, didn't do dick. Immediately started surfing, did some interview stuff for the Core, went on a long break, took a 3 hour dump, surfed some more, chilled with some colleagues, finally didn't know what to do online, looked at the clock, one hour to go. Responded to like 10 mails, typing fast, copy pasting shit and using fancy words. Received a call from my manager that he really appreciates all my hard work and the enormous effort I put in everyday. Offered to finish something for him meaning I would do a bit of overtime (like 10 minutes or so). He was overjoyed and I had a really hard time not to burst out in laughter.

    Ok so i was doing some food shopping at a random supermarket and i was in the queue waiting to pay.


    Then a woman asks me out loud : " Don't you think it smells like shit ? "


    I say : " Yes it does. "


    And then with the cashier we look around and there was a fat and smelly shit standing there alone on the clean tiles just after the cashier stand. Where the fuck does that comes from ???


    The black woman who was the cashier was absolutely disgusted and just threw paper on it and said : " I'm not cleaning this, it's too disgusting and I am not paid to clean shits on the floor. "


    Then an arabic guy in the queue behind starts shouting out loud throwing his arms 360° around him : " THERE IS SO MANY JOBLESS PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE A JOB CLEANING SHITS ON THE FLOOR, YOU HAVE A JOB AND YOU ARE DOING MANNERS YOU FUCKING CUNT "


    The cashier answers mixed in a flow of insults that it wasn't her job, that she was already doing a shitty job to be insulted by such fuckers and that it was nowhere written in the contract she signed. People in the queue were shouting there is no need for violence over a shit, some virtuous souls proposing to clean the shit. Then they started to insult each other in arabic and I didn't understood a thing.


    Meanwhile, the 2 m tall black guy from the security was slowly coming with his arms in his back while an employee and the butcher of the supermarket with his bloody apron were coming in reinforcement.


    The angry guy finally left and so do I after i paid.


    But i do not know who finally got to clean the shit ? The shit of dissension

    maaaaaaaaan...i just had kidney stones myself...in fact, i think i still do as i keep pissing blood every few days or so and pissing out little bits and pieces. one of the worst pains i've had so far (mono was worse though)


    i haven't been posting much on mapcore lately...... mostly just lurking around. as most of you know i've been on sort of a games industry time-out since finishing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the DLCs etc. I moved back to Germany early last year (something i thought I'd never do) and have been working for an airline just to pay the bills and do something else for a bit.


    My sister had a baby and I didn't want to miss seeing him grow up in his first few years. It's been a pretty scary step to sort of "quit" and drop everything but I think I needed it and experience something else in my life. I feel like I taking a step back from the whole circus of the games industry gave me the chance to focus on some other elements of my life that i severely neglected in the past, in other words "having a social life". I found an amazing girlfriend here and we've been living together for the past year or so and I seriously haven't been this happy in a long long time. But also, I just downloaded Unreal Engine 4 and am starting to put together a new portfolio soon to make a re-entry into the biz in the next year or so hopefully. I feel motivated again and my batteries are re-charged. I might post a few WIPs here soon when I really start getting into it. I've missed hanging out on Mapcore.

    Well well... lots of shits happenned last year for sure..


    1 year ago, I left unemployment (the period when I was making csgo maps for operation Bravo ) for New World Interactive where I really enjoyed working on Insurgency for 4 months, those guys are great !! I was in a cool house with 4 people in a city where I had a lot of friends and thanks to "freelance" schedule, I made a lot of partiiiiies ! I also had my driving licence and my first car (at 27 but shhh).


    On the same time I signed for a 1 year contract at Arkane Studios. So I moved to a new city called Lyon which is a great one, had my first real appartment not far from my new job and start working with some of my best friends. It's really great but I miss sometimes the indie vibes I had on INS2.


    Had some small but very long health troubles during the winter but everything is fine now, also checked my eyes and they are fully operational !!


    Also finally have the girl I want since several years and she is moving to my place in a few weeks (didn't expect that lol)


    Now I hope my 1 year contract will end on a full time one but I have a feeling that someday I will want to work on a more personnal project, I want to be more involved in game development. I'm less involved in Mapcore since a long time now... but it's more an overall with the internet tbh..


    Love U guys !
