  • Help with portfolio

    There are tools out there for RPG design as well (Elder Scrolls/Fallout toolkit, shadowrun). However it might just complicate things for you if you are new to the field. Getting acquainted with tools and understanding what makes up one level - any kind of level - is much more important than individual preference in the beginning. If you want to become a level designer, meshes in general don't matter - what you want to show off is the gameplay. This also factors into your portfolio in the sense that videos of gameplay will always show more than screenshots.

  • Net Neutrality petition

    I never understood how petitions are so popular when they really do nothing but show awareness - and awareness isn't something that will change or buy out corporate corruption or lobbyism. It's like people are content to just sign something and think it'll make a difference when really that's the least of what's going to happen. What do you think will happen if you email the leadership of the FCC, when it's mostly bought out or employed by ISP people?


    Short of doxing individual ISP leaders and lobbyists, I don't see any way this will change. You can't use a water pistol to put out a house fire.

    Thanks man. I appreciate it.

  • What's going on with your life?

    I think deep down everybody has their own problems and their own ways of dealing with them. I see a lot of stuff here that I partially recognize, but nobody really hits the nail on the head. I used to have a depression as well for the longest time, and my studies kept me from actually achieving what I wanted to do (which I guess back then was a huge contributing factor). But after finishing all of my studies and finally having some breathing room, pretty much everything went away. And I do mean everything. While I was studying the dream and goal was to break into the industry. Now that I have achieved that my days off are spent on nothing and I often feel without purpose. I have generally seen a lot of death in my life... perhaps more than the average person, which most likely has shaped into what I am/was. My mother, the only family I ever had, died 2 years ago of cancer, and that ripped out a part of me. I had and still have very few friends. All of this together made me just not care about anything. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I could probably do it indefinitely, but it feels like an empty existence, and none of the goddamn knowledge I have accumulated over the many many years of reflection and studying has, or most likely won't fill that emptiness. It's like having all the answers except the one you need yourself.


    I started doing a lot of bad things, including drinking a lot. More stuff followed, none that I will speak of here because it is simply too fucked up. There's a border between where your problems are just your problems and when they become everybody's problems, and I'm not about to cross that line... both because I am very private person, but also because of the severity of the things I've done. This is most likely shit I will have to take to my grave, at whatever cost to my psyche.


    For anyone else reading this, take note: Don't leave yourself purposeless, because it will drive your mind to the edge of your sanity, and it will cause you to do shit that will not put you in a good light. It really is the journey and not the goal that matters.
