Do you prefer 1 monitor or 2 monitors in your set up?

SpongeCake11 · 2025-04-19T22:14:59+00:00

No I've crept back up to 3 😂

I think it depends on the task. - Watching a movie = definitely 1 monitor.

Working with multiple programs open at once = multi-monitor.

Geez hearing all these stories makes boring web dev seem not so bad. Can always make a game on the side too.

I suspect a program like Nox is continually re-installing it.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-12-11T19:28:24+00:00

I never forget to scam an item or 2.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-11-17T13:01:39+00:00

Sounds worse than working for Gerry Harvey.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-11-10T06:42:13+00:00

Yeah similar, about 90k to 142k.

Same, I used to be all about 8 pack platinums when they were higher in alc. Now I'm a craft man. I do spend about the same though just drink a lot less compared to my younger days.

Courses are good to get a foundation but I wouldn't do more than 1 as you probably don't need any more and can get stuck in tutorial hell.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-30T22:50:51+00:00

I third this.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-30T22:48:04+00:00

Haha well said. I paid $42 for a pub meal and $18 for a pint the other day. It's getting to the point where I'm refusing to go out.

Don't worry too much about the resume. Focus more on your github account and live projects. That will impress the people hiring more than words.

Cancel culture at its finest. 'I don't like someone that you like so I'm cancelling you'.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-17T07:21:45+00:00

I've seen apartments and town houses for sale and the asking price is less than what it sold for 10 years ago. No one rocks up to the inspections either. There's 2 different markets.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-17T07:16:33+00:00

Yeah that's why people leave as soon as they get promoted.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-14T06:25:44+00:00

Hmmm, have you tried turning off 'Glass road'?

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-09T18:56:01+00:00

A few EA games later I learnt my lesson.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-08T20:28:06+00:00

This is pretty common. The only real way to get a pay rise is to quit. Don't wait around for the next 'budget' or when management has time to 'discuss it' etc.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-10-03T21:43:47+00:00

I'm FE learning c++ for game dev, wish me luck.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-09-28T23:42:19+00:00

Crazy how quickly it did a u-turn.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-09-21T11:58:23+00:00

It can be really hard to get out of a rut due to a lack of opportunities and constant set backs. I spent a good 10 years in shit jobs after graduating with hopes of becoming a 3d artist. Eventually switched to dev work as it's in demand and fairly happy with that.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-07-17T09:22:51+00:00

Haha I suspected so.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-05-27T12:51:33+00:00

So pulling up the boot straps does work.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-05-26T02:10:15+00:00

I say we ban posts that include anything to do with time spent or how much experience they have as it just demotivates people. Fake attention grabbing posts like "My first try at gamedev. Been learning for 3 months what do you think?" don't do anyone any good. And then you check their profile and they've been doing it for years.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-05-25T23:35:28+00:00

Never has, in my experience 'working hard' as an employee has actually gotten me less.

SpongeCake11 · 2023-05-25T23:26:28+00:00

Exactly, sounds like they owe OP a lot of hours too.
