I know someone that know's Richard Garriott, th Ultima creator.  Richard is apparently a bit eccentric.  Most game developers seen to be a bit touched, I'm a good example of that...

I avoided that malady.  Back in the early '70s a friend of mine from college asked me to join him in making computer games for home computers.  I glibly responded "There's no future in computer games.  It'll never catch on".   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams_(game_designer)  His games were popular for a while but he was quickly overtaken by bigger companies.  Although he still keeps his hand in it.

Perhaps I should have jumped at the opportunity, squirreled myself away in a dark lab making games for 40 years going franticly bonkers before quickly falling into penniless obscurity instead of the long  interesting career I have had ending in quiet bonkerness and penniless obscurity.   NAH!  I've got lots of memories and am surviving the long expected penniless obscurity quite nicely thank you.  And I get to share my quiet bonkerness with y'all.

 

I will cheerfully note that I created/coded computer games for a mere 5 years before getting  so burned out that I couldn't even play computer games for 2 years after, and to this day if I try to code up even the simplest game I get stress headaches and sick to my stomach.

This kind of burnout is not uncommon in an industry with normal work schedule means 10-12 hour days, plus weekend when it's crunch time and you either ship or get fired.  It's also typical to be hired for one project and be laid off once it ships.  Oh, the stories I could tell... it's the rare person that lasts more than 10 years in a coding position, most run like Hell for management or production positions. :-/

Feh.

...which is why I walked away from it over two decades ago, and today would rather pay other people to do scripting for shaders, plugins, & the like rather than do it myself..

I completely understand. :-|

Oww, owww, owowowowowow pain hurt anguish agony, not feeling good.

My ride to the grocey store fell through (keeping an eye on a sick kid) so I was forced to walk a mile and a half in a not-broken-in prosthesis, after not having walked further than 3 blocks in the past 6 months! :-O

Aspirin dow, chair in relax mode.

The amazing thing is that it's not my right foot or the amputation stump that hurt, no soreness, no rubbed open holes in skin, no nothing.  The prosthetic doc did very good, the fancy right shoe insert and the kick-butt engineering of the prosthesis did the job!  Foot and stump warm and happy, my circulation is apparently as good as mu foc told me it was.  Thank Deity for little favors! :-)

Now, the 'what hurts' list: hamstrings, calves, knees, hips, lower back, neck and shoulders. A decent portion of my fat carcass is NOT happy with me.  If this plays out as usual, more bits will hurt tomorrow to pile on.

Thankfully beer arrives tomorrow in exchange for my USB drive, so I'll survive the weekend happily!! :-)

That being said, a mostly successful shopping trip.  Got noodle soups, hot dogs (on mega sale!), corn tortillas and flour tortillas.  I have a few bucks left over, I was starting to hurt to the point I just wanted to go home once I had enough fppd to tide me over while I sell stuff.  Maybe I'll go back for refried beans and taters, now that U know the trip is physically possible.  My body tends to shape up pretty quickly with regular exercise.

The weather helped - low 70f's, overcast, strong breeze.  Never overheated.

Once the beer arrives I'm good for a while, so I'm in pain but relatively happy.  I think it

s nap time now that the aspirin is cutting in!  :-)

Happy is good *hugs* :)

It certainly beats a lot of the alternatives...! :-O

...I always feel better when the marketing is done.  Particularly when the weather looks like it's going to get bad and I can just stay inside, work on projects, and nosh away.  Will have to make that trip this afternoon (if I can get the phone to charge, still having issues with the jack making a solid connection so I can use my virtual bus tickets) as tomorrow through the weekend looks pretty wet and cold.

Wet + cold = unhappy. :-(  Hope your charger starts behaving.

You're welcome!  It's not really bad.  I think people make too much fuss about everything.  Creates mass hysteria.  I do advise getting the Pro version, though...there are benefits.

...I used to keep telling them "No Mayo" and they'd still put mayo on my Whopper. so stopped going there years ago.  I never could get it "my way".

kyoto kid

...well market trip complete but not without one snag.

On the way home after getting off the bus and heading over to the tram platform, there was a message on the reader board that said all trams were out of commission indefinitely because of a switch issue (turned out it was right by my apartment building).  As I learned from someone who decided to walk from downtown instead of wait, this had been going on for almost two hours (probably happened just after I left my place on the way to the market). Normally when something like this occurs, the transit system would dispatch a few buses as emergency shuttles, but not today.  So had to walk 8 long blocks (analogous to more like 10 or 11) carrying two bags of groceries home (which is why I usually take the bus and tram in the first place).  By the time I got to the door of he building, my right hand was in serious pain.

Even as cheap and penny pinching as the airlines are today, they still give you a 50$ or 100$ off voucher for your next trip when they screw up.  I should get a refund of my fare.

...I do like the ability to  create better draping for still scenes. Just meed more horsepower to use it.

Mistara

The one about a mile and a half off would do it right, no mayo, heavy pickles.  Then it burned down. :-(

11:18pm and the aspirin has worn off.  Everything from my ankles to my shoulders aches, so I'm popping more Bayer and going to bed.  The alarm goes off at 7AM so I can clean up before the guy comes over for the beer barter...  oh boy beeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr!! :-)
