he will be very comfortable in his new home 💔

i will treat spamton with care even when he tells me to invest in $KROMER

im sorry. the industry right now is hostile to newcomers.

i wish i could say “find a survival job and do gamedev in spare time” — because many people do follow that strat... but given my own experience with trying to find said survival job i dunno if im the best person to say that

and if its bad all around… might as well do the projects i want to do

for sure. ill say that my intern experience brought me a lot of connections and confidence that i didnt have before — which is really nice. i try not to beat myself up about my current employment sitch bc its just bad all around now

i did experience a wonderful internship this summer but even then i was by far and large the oldest in my local cohort (most of them were college kids) and i was on the older end of the entire internship program. i felt like i was lagging behind in life

so you can probably see why i lost faith in the rat race lol. this isnt sustainable

there are some genuinely awesome ppl i met last gdc but the best event i went to there was a town over and very anti-corporate — so the opposite of gdc as it currently exists

also i tried getting a normie job for the past 3 years (to support myself) and i never got one. even with tailored resumes, cover letters and an arsenal of skills many of these listings required. came close w a couple of interviews but the magical internal candidate always won out

the only reason im continuing to do what i do in terms of freelance is bc im lucky enough to have a family that can support me.
on the other hand it means im far less fiscally independent than, say, my twin sister — whos working towards an md/phd (so she’s being paid to go to school)

has been for the past few years lol…. seems more interested in c-suite guys than any proper devs lol

they released the other figures so its a matter of time……….. FREE HIM!!!!!

I JUST REALIZED TENNA’S SUIT IS DRAWN SPARKLY THERE TOO…. incoming wave of sparkly tenna fanarts in 3…2…1…
