Can't wait to get Uncharted 4 for 45 bucks soon!

 

[Numb]

Never gonna get to meet

 

[Jobbs]

freelance art/graphic design is pretty much hell, because -- like, most people hiring you don't know fucking shit about what looks good or what's a good idea, but that doesn't stop them from having terrible and *very specific* ideas.

I aim to never do it again, I hated it passionately

 

[liliththepale]

Client wise....yeah, but that'll happen in any sort of freelance or contract based business.

Yeah, I got so fed up with it. I started working for my dad last autumn because an opportunity came up and I haven't looked back. The pay is slightly less than what I had been getting before but it's far more stable, much less stressful, and scheduling is still pretty lenient. (I have regular hours but I can just text my dad if I'm going to be coming in late or have to take the day off and he just rolls with it, and I can stay overtime to make extra whenever I want).


So having been there I have mad respect for anyone in the freelance biz who manages to make it stick long-term.

 

[Kevyt]

Which ones did you get? I've been sticking with some old Chuck Taylors for awhile now.

Those. I'm weak and just a beginner so I got the cheapest ones I could find.

I don't care about how much weight I do right now, I just want to work on form. :3

 

[Xiao Hu]

Is it a family business or does your dad work for somebody else?

 

[FUME5]

.

Yeah, I'd consider your filial obligations more than fulfilled!

She an heiress yo.

 

[Jobbs]

and then she got her dick filial'd by the sound of it!

 

[FUME5]

and then she got her dick filial'd by the sound of it!

That sounds a little too incestuous for our girl.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'd be the heir to a sizable fortune if Castro never kicked my dad's family out of Cuba. Then again I also very well might not exist so I'm not really sure how to feel about that one

 

[Jobbs]

I meant later with her boyfriend you freak!

Did he meet your mother outside of Cuba? Then you definitely wouldn't exist. Fortune shmortune.

You should march down there and give Castro a piece of your mind.

 

[marrec]

Je sais qu’on a tant de choses à se dire
Et tes histoires seront bientôt usées
Quand je serai blottie contre la fatigue
Des jours à la mer qu’on veut oublier

Et voilà que tu ne peux plus chanter
Je crois bien que je suis seule à t’aimer
Tes lèvres brûlent tant de mille mensonges
Que tu ne prends plus la peine de raconter

 

[liliththepale]

Guys don't be lewd.

Is it a family business or does your dad work for somebody else?

My dad owns a few different businesses. At the screen printing shop where I work is my dad's main office, but my older brother is the floor manager. Then besides me there are five non-family employees who do the printing and operations.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Did he meet your mother outside of Cuba? Then you definitely wouldn't exist. Fortune shmortune.

Yeah he did, so this is likely. Then again, you never know, maybe I would have had the same soul with different genetics?

You should march down there and give Castro a piece of your mind.

I can't because I'm actually an enemy of the state by extension of my dad writing a memoir painting the government in a negative light. I'd probably be detained if I went there lol

 

[Granadier]

Guys don't be lewd.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Jobbs]

child please

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Come for to me, daddy drake

Congrats on the sex

That's cool. I imagine working for your own family is usually more motivating than slaving yourself to some ungrateful cunt.

 

[Granadier]

Depends on the family relationship to be honest.

 

[Xiao Hu]

Let's just assume you wouldn't work for them in the first place if they were cunts themselves.

 

[zeemumu]

Come for to me, daddy drake

I'm gonna rent it from a Redbox and see if I can complete it before the return fees get ridiculous. Apparently it's $2 a day for games, so I'll give myself a week at most. Should I fail, I'll buy it.

Unless I can't find it. Then I'll just buy it anyway and complete my collection

 

[friskykillface]

times like this I wish I embraced a digital download future but then again I don't want to own games forever

give me Uncharted 4

Yaassss!!

I'm like, Carla Bruni, oh wait no, Coeur de Pirate!!

 

[Jobbs]

I'm expecting a lot of crazy setpieces where everything's falling apart or there's an earthquake or whatever and I'm vaguely in control of Drake as he jumps from thing to thing.

The ironic thing is that these segments are the least exciting parts of the game (this goes for UC as well as Tomb Raider). I don't understand the reliance on them.

 

[Misha]

Hahahaha nononononono

 

[liliththepale]

Freelance clients notwithstanding, I've only ever worked for people I like a lot, so it's hard to say. I'm pleased with my current predicament though.

I heard fewer set pieces this time around, and that the E3 vid is basically the biggest set piece in the game.

well, we'll find out soon. I'll give it a chance. the thing with the jeep and then nathan's swinging on a rope and crashing through a boat or whatever had my eyes rolling back into my head.

I'm pleased with my current predicament though.

am I mistaken or is this statement at odds with itself? 'predicament' denotes a negative circumstance

well this is awkward. I've been using that word wrong for a dozen years or more. In my mind it's always been synonymous with situation.

 

[Kevyt]

Do you people not sleep?

 

[Granadier]

well this is awkward. I've been using that word wrong for a dozen years or more. In my mind it's always been synonymous with situation.

Or you've been subconsciously screaming for someone to rescue you from working situations.

 

[zeemumu]

Heh

"Play of the game: This fucker as Bastion in his turret form"

Do you people not sleep?

Most of us sleep at different times because we're in different time zones with different lifestyles so there's always someone maintaining the thread *clocks out*

 

[jb1234]

Do you people not sleep?

Depends where you live. It's just 9:23 PM here.

I've started work on a classical song for soprano. It sounds really nice so far, much more peaceful than the usual stuff I write. It's a fun change of pace. I've already asked my preferred singer if she wants to tackle it and I'm betting she'll be very flattered.

 

[Misha]

well this is awkward. I've been using that word wrong for a dozen years or more. In my mind it's always been synonymous with situation.

At the very least, id bet everyone knew what you meant so it isn't a failure of language. It just reads like an oxymoron in those situations so there would be some expected irony id think

 

[liliththepale]

Do you people not sleep?

Nah. Just pay a little attention and you'll start noticing what everyone's sleep schedule is, more or less. Excepting this past weekend, I tend to sleep a whole lot.

Or you've been subconsciously screaming for someone to rescue you from working situations.

Yeah I'm like Kenneth from 30 Rock

Oh, for sure! Especially since I'm often an advocate of word play. In this case it was just a gaffe.

 

[Vazra]

I see we reached the educational part. Let me skedaddle outta here.


Also its 12:25 here. XOXO.

 

[Misha]

Do you people not sleep?

I took a nap a bit ago and am relaxing before my actual sleep

 

[Professor Beef]

I don't think I've ever met any Fakers, but I've met plenty of Gaffers in general.

So I just found out that you can look up your Google searches, and there's analytics on them.

StackOverflow is my savior.

Where tho?

 

[Jobbs]

I plan to use google analytics to look at how many people do different things when playing my game

 

[marrec]

Je t’ai vu tracer le long du paysage
Une ligne des aimées qui détruisent ton langage
Et quand tu chantais plus fort dans ton silence
Je voyais les larmes couler toujours à contresens

Mais quand les saisons attendront ton retour
Ce sera le vent qui portera secours

Et si la terre est sombre, et si la pluie te noie
Raconte-moi, qu’on puisse trembler ensemble
Et si le jour ne vient pas dans la nuit des perdus
Raconte-moi, qu’on puisse crier tout bas
Crier tout bas

Turns out I had a waifu this whole time I just didn't realize it.

Moving to Montreal bbl guys

 

[Granadier]

Where tho?

<3 Analytics. Even if it's just watching myself. Finding patterns in things is fascinating. On Android phones at least you can pull up your location history. It's fun to look at how much or little you travel over the years.
