i thought he had more time

just 33, thats fuckign tragic

I knew this was coming, just hope it wasn't so soon. UGH, shitty day.

he even tweeted that he was feeling better

yeah my dad went through similar circumstances about 10 years ago, when i saw he needed to have his abdomen drained i thought to myself..... uh oh

the pain can become so normalized you forget what the baseline is and can think you are recovering

Oh shit, you weren’t kidding

The internet has tainted me so badly that when I see ‘RIP Person’ I just assume it’s bullshit

<:LUL:358048719846899713>

no, I'm not laughing at him

I'm simply posting an image of him

in memoriam

you know, it amazes me that stuff gets around so quick. his wiki is already updated

You know, I think my best memory of him will be that image of him laughing

Don't forget the edits.

The one with the oversized mouth?

Shit man, he was the one that got me into game dev

And the one who got me out of game dev and into a job in SE, and then plan to go back in game dev in a few years when I am financially stable.

game dev should be a hobby. if you make a reputation, then try making yourself an indy studio

Lol, I was gonna work with a larger company

no, no no no no no no

Then I learnt the reality of it and decided to do proper software

well, unless you like sleeping in a studio and getting fired at the end of the project and rehired later

Nah, it wasnt the case, Like I siad, it was one specific company

i followed the same route "maybe i could do game design *does research* maybe i'll just do normal SE and make games as a hobby"

When that didnt work out, I kept in touch with the lead dev who was a really cool guy in general.

Nah I am in your situation, Ill do it as a hobby

don't think i could work for a large game company. too many potential head people, too abstracted from the project, trying to maximize profits

Yeah, kinda why after Tencent bought a majority I got worried

Though after I heard about the other companies so I am less worried

Now I am worried people will stop buying stuff from them now that they think the company already made it big

what? grinding gear?

or riot?

or uh

none, ok

honestly if you want to work in games, imo the most stable option (relatively speaking) is to work in co-development or outsourcing. games get bigger every year and it's a much better choice to work at a place where your employment isn't dependent on how well a game sells, but only the fact that another company needs your company to help make it.

friggin outsourcing

it sucks that games and film are so unstable

the fact that's caught on so much really annoys me

yeah, it's been a thing for years and it's here to stay
