    Yeah btw, we were sexting today, and she suggested I blindfold and tie her to the bed when I come back... wondering if she's a bit kinkier than average?


    Ah, young love. Fuck like bunnies and do all the perverted shit you can think of. Nah, that's normal. It's when they get older and stick around longer that they come up with rules and be all conservative.

    Law school is actually killing me. I get an average of 3-4 hours of sleep a night, haven't been to the gym in months, I miss my family and my dog, I sit in class and stare at my desk, my limbs feel like they are made of spaghetti. This is my last year but I can honestly say I am miserable, bored, and sick of being here. I woke up this morning and felt like a flat sheet of paper, it feels as if I've lost 20 pounds since school started. It's not even that it's hard, it's easy and obvious and anyone would be able to spend one week preparing for the stupid test at the end of the rainbow. Angry these days.

    Get more sleep, honestly you'll feel a hell of a lot better. Also maybe put less pressure on yourself to do CSGO maps. I know it's fun but you need to focus on your studies. Your family is still gonna be around after law school so just try and persevere and it'll be worth the effort

    About 6 months ago I got a new job (which was well documented on the Core). Unfortunately I had to keep doing my old one and learn people how I did it before I could start my new one. Spend a week in training and today was my second day of on the job training. My teacher however was confident that I could do it and left me alone. So there I am, with no idea what I'm doing, responsible for a enormous amount of stuff and accountable for every penny we waste. How much are we talking about here? Well proper fuck ups could costs us ten thousands of euros within hours. Not long after he left, bad shit went down. I got corporate on my back and questions coming in from everywhere. I really felt like this:

    [Blocked Image: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--qOw8koA5--/japbcvpavbzau9dbuaxf.jpg] But I knew I had to man the fuck up so I took charge of the situation. I decided not to follow procedures and do what would be best for us and soon got a call from the higher ups. Explained to them why I did what I did and I received a lot of praised. Handled it like a pro, finished out the afternoon and now I'm sitting here on my thrown of awesomeness due to the huge amount of compliments I got. My collegue said I did it better then some of the people that had been doing it a lot longer. He said the message was clear, I'm here to stay.

    That's what odd, I thought he was. I thought he worked for Unknown Worlds.


    Tbh though don't, finish your law degree and make a hell of a lot more cash than you would in gaming. People in the industry could certainly use lawyers that understand game development.

    yeah, work for cash, who cares about following what you love.


    I mean sure, finish your degree, at this stage might as well but professionally you should follow what you enjoy doing, not money. I know saying this is a bit cliche by now "follow your passions, sea of roses and whatnot" but I'd take making games on top of a more "normal" job anyday.

    I can imagine being a lawyer is a pretty damn fulfilling job in itself, it isn't working in an office doing paper work for a large company.


    and obviously as is the case here, you can make games/levels without having to work in the industry.

    Ya I gotta go to classes, that's factored into grades. I think all I really want to say is give some advice, don't do things in your life just because they "sound logical" or because other people want you to, you won't be happy. I'm consciously doing something I don't want to do because it "seems smart", what I never considered would be how hard it gets some days when it really becomes a chore. I'm really grateful for all the opportunities I've had and people I've gotten to work with, it's why I can be optimistic in what has become kind of a painful time for me. Love the Core, keep being awesome guys.

    Your LD work is fantastic dude, your passion for LD breathes through it. I'd hate to see talent like you doing divorce cases or debt collecting.

    Go post up on a 'Lawcore' forum and people will tell you you're squandering your law career for some silly games job This is probably a very biased place for career advice


    I'd recommend just sticking it out. It can't hurt to have a degree in something completely different to games. I sometimes wonder what I would do if I were to leave the industry.

    If all else fails you can just join Cooper & Norman to work on games industry related cases... that will make both your parents and Helder happy

    Couple of days ago I've told you that I'm single, and that I'm happy with that. Yesterday we had conversation what went wrong ect, and she actually made me understand how I've fucked up. Now I'm listening to Alien 3 soundtrack and feel miserable.
    We both made some decisions that we have to live with, I just hope that shit will turn out really well for her.

    Every time I hear people saying they are missing the family I feel like a pile of shit… I live very well on my own, never missed anyone the year I was in Africa, don't feel the need to come back to Italy now that I'm in England… I even see my sis little, and she lives 100mt from my room. She says I contact her only when I need something :/

    We've been trying to get rid of this house for 4 years and now I did all I could to make it as attractive as possible for buyers. Literally blood, sweat and tears were spilled on this and yesterday we had a open house and nobody came. Fucking depressed right now
