Rant time

Did a lot of art this week, unusual. When anyone asks me about a multimedia degree I'm like "No!" never you're going to regret it.
One of the reasons I got it was I sucked in math and science. You know how many people sucks in math and science so your competing with everyone for a job. It's a degree that's hardware intensive, parents spending at least 30k for initial gear and pirating heavily. Biz 101, the start up costs is already so much and the pay off is so low, if you look at the salaries these days. One biz only needs a very small staff or one artist if they have a marketing arm. So the artist to biz ratio is 1 artist to 400 employees. And the work is mind numbing revisions and no control. I'd rather read a boring 200pg TOR or bills or contracts or accounting. More things go on in one's head when they do analysis then revisions with a deadline, because visual art is so burdened with emotion and biases. If you'd didn't start out as a Rockstar prodigy your odds are dismal lolz. The objectivity of analysis has no moving goal posts, and so many tools to find answers, there is less frustration and anguish. In science and math you don't need talent, you need wonder, imagination, creativity...  all things that can make a great artist but one that will not starve in desperation.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
