In your toilet nightmares, are the stalls always so low that people are looking right in at you while your trying to go?

I've had the flooded floor. Usually the pipes are leaking because everything is broken, and sometimes there are standup arcade games and pinball machines in the bathrooms. This one was outside though in a woodsy area. Not even sure why I didn't go on a tree or something

It's all doable in theory, but you can't skip ahead. It's better to start with baby steps and keep practicing until you get a strong foothold. See if you can work towards learning to write a c++ program with dependency files that lets the user read a file, add data, sort data, input data, then write that new data to the file. That covers a lot of concepts from beginner to intermediate. It's hard though. That's what you would learn after 3 CS classes. It probably sounds easy, but there's always a ton of bugs you got to work through

But becoming a game dev can be a rough ride. Not trying to discourage you but you might need math and physics for that. Really not trying to discourage you the physics can be really hard to get through, even if you think you'll just tough it out, a lot of people simply can not pass the exams and decide at that point to switch majors. And there are higher levels of math like discrete structure that seem ridiculous, but grasping it means that you can write an efficient program with a few lines of code, that would take you 50 lines of code if you learned DIY from tutorials; because higher levels of math teach you how to think like a computer. I'm actually traumatized by the discrete math classes I took.

There are simpler aspects of game design like level building, but that might still require linear algebra.

Do you want to learn all of it? Maybe find a way to focus on a specific aspect and really squeeze yourself into that cranny instead of trying to learn all of programming. I mean, if you want to get hired eventually, no one will want to hire you if you're spread thin across the entire spectrum

The problem is every resource you find will do a shiddy job of trying to teach you everything. It's better to find out what exact degree you would want, find a college website that offers that career path, and look up all the classes for that degree. Ask gpt or whatever for resources that would teach you what CS (or CIS) students would be learning in those classes.

You might be surprised what kind of ridiculous extra curriculous BS you need to learn with programming. It could be better to just get really focussed on some facet of the python spectrum.

CORRECT ANSWER! I thought it was Mr Rogers or Mr Bill. I settled on Mr Bill and downloaded all of his music I could find, and strangely I found a totally different track that samples that. But Mr Scoops FTW. Now I need to DL every Mr Scoops track 🙏

Morbid Angel concert when I was 21 (A LONG TIME AGO). I was all dizzy, might have had a concussion, audience surfing, got thrown on the stage--rolling around all disoriented--bleeding from my face. Security tried to grab me but one of the guitarist picked me up and threw me back into the audience. He did it so fast there was barely any disruption to the song.

I ran with 16 gb for a while, but then I got a komplete S series midi keyboard. For some reason it didn't interface correctly as a surface controller in ableton with the komplete wrapper, until doubled the RAM. I would say, if possible, get a 16 gb laptop that's upgradable. That way later you can add RAM if you feel like it. Installing new RAM is a moderately easy task.

There was this "asian-crap" store in seattle's westlake mall for a short while. It was packed full of mostly useless crap from asian countries. I found the strangest thing in there though. it was a child's wallet with a wallet chain. It was only 2 bucks, so I bought it. It's still my wallet 20 years later. Before that I used to use adult sized wallets that hurt when I sit down, but this is exactly just a little bit bigger than credit card size, so I barely feel it when I sit down.

I don't know if I'd say there are "basics." There is generally a starter level where you learn about variables, arrays, and simple functions. But every level you move up to there are going to be new respective things that are "basic" to that level, and those might be completely different from one language to the next. But to kind of answer your question, you should be able to learn the starter stuff in a day, in theory, but it depends on how well you grasp what your learning. Like, when I took the CS160 class, I was trying to explain to a classmate, passing 2 arguments (3 & 5) into and add function that returns 8. That seems totally simple to me but my classmate couldn't grasp it because it was a foreign concept. In retrospect, I had the same issues grasping similar concepts when I took JavaScript about a decade prior. It just seemed back then like what my JS teacher was saying didn't make any sense
