Well, popping by to say hello really. Nothing of any interest, importance or relevance to anything tbh. I’m simply being a resident forum whore.
Actually, on a more-important-than-zero note, it would be interesting to know whether you guys (referring to the chaps at Splash Damage as opposed to other random forum whores) went out and got degrees in Computer Sciences or something, as I’m looking at doing just that, with the slight glimmer of hope that I might myself break into the industry so that I may do the monotonous tasks such as making the GUI and tea (until, of course, everyone realises my untapped potential that not even I knew about and I become the next Peter Molonoux, Alex Garden or some other jammy git).
I looked at coding in UT2k3 not so long ago, and thought “jeez, surely people cant read this, VBASIC is like a nice fluffy thing in comparison to this”. So I’m thinking “maybe i need to get taught this stuff, please God say I do, I surely can’t learn this stuff from horrible tutorials of doom, or even worse, playing randomly for 3 years until it works”.
So, did you just learn this stuff or actually get taught by someone who knows something (as opposed to college computing staff, who are not the best chaps in the world, it has to be said)
And that’s really about it. Nice with the whole “modders -> paid guys” move, maybe someday I’ll live it. Or more likely, I’ll be sweeping the garbage from outside office blocks, looking in marvel at the pies inside and thinking “by jove, i wish i had pies”. And for that, i give you a random smiley with little reference to the pies, but still a slight reference. :chef:
If anyone else is still reading this, then you have more patience than an avid monk who loves reading forums. Bloody good show, I say. But, alas, I’m done now, so I bid you goodbye.
o0o, a banana.
