What's going on with your life?

[blackdog]

So I finally did it.

I resigned a week after coming back from Canada and last Monday I moved in with my girlfriend.

It was risky to move without having the safety of a new job, but I decided to go for it to force myself to do better.

I hope I can soon find at least an easy job with set routine, 9-5 or the likes - eg admin, just so I have free time to spend developing game dev skills, which I wasn’t managing with my random shifts. In theory that was getting better, as I got promoted to Manager position and we were finally sorting the staff, but that could have changed in a snap and the whole long distance was just stressful. It’s been too long and need to see if we really work as a couple, can only do that by sharing a place.

Per aspera ad astra!

Hey gang. Just got back from my honeymoon in New Zealand. Loved it. 3 weeks of fast-paced bliss and adventuring. A lot of nature photos taken for source materials and I feel rejuvenated to tackle 3D projects again.

Starting to enjoy the loneliness and time spent with animals more than with people...

Cant agree more!

I've started a new job Tuesday.

Junior Technical Project Manager in the web department a publishing company.

Hopefully this means I won't have to clean a room or wash plates ever again... but I'm very bummed by the commute. Had to buy a car, which I was trying to avoid, and it's not 50 min like Google was saying, but 1h 20m. Tiring, "dangerous" and costy. Since I'm still getting contacted by agencies for jobs will definitely stay on the look out.

I also got in contact with a game developer and designing a logo for his game engine.

My problem is debt, so , i can't really do anything about that. When my ex left me i had to sell the house when it was a rough time, so i had to sell it for less than it was worth. So, if anyone knows a magic way of reseting debts plz let me know

This story is much more complicated than it appears on the surface. She was on a website looking for a Sugar Daddy, they were together 3 times willingly and who knows if she didn't lie about her age? We have to be careful about demonizing everyone in this climate of fear and suspicion that we live now. They could have probably dealt with this a lot better than by going to the authorities, who only see black OR white (literally lol). There's also a huge difference between dating a 15 year-old, who is using her free will to look for an older dude on a creepy website, to being a pedophile (someone who sexually abuses kids and fucks them up for life, which is clearly not the case here). Mistakes were made on both sides.

I dunno man, give the right (or wrong) set of circumstances and it could happen to anyone.

I wrote for Cliffes Half-Life website back in the days, posted news. I remember him being a rather arrogant man but we got hooked up with CS betas before they actually got released officialy. This is the only reason i kept writing haha. Hopefully it's not true, as Minos said, the #metoo movement here in Sweden has been crazy. People being hanged in media before even found guilty by a court. 

I'm okay with people being hanged after they have been found guilty.
