9:49 AM

Wake up

._.

Kinda tired

gf is driving to get me a coffee right now

lucky!

Noo don't wake up

Go to bed

Bed is better

it isbetter, but it is not an option

working class don't sleep, we are modern day slaves

What I should do, is find a celebrity and tape myself having sex with them

Insta-no more work for life right there

Advantages of college: sometimes your weekend randomly starts on Thursday :D

Advantages of work -- no more summers off for the next 40 years

Disadvantages of college: it costs money (€2000 each year) instead of making you money

I read on Reddit the other day, this girl just got out of college with 90K in debt

HOW.

That is 22500 per year

Well if you're from outside the EU it costs €10000-15000 per year here, so if you have a super decadent lifestyle you can get there.

Yeah, but if I had such a crippling debt (this debt is not interest free) -- coming right out of school

Holy shit..

10:03 AM

Yep, it sucks.

My student loan debt was at like 15K when I got out - and that was crippling enough for someone without any money or foothold on life

I can't imagine it being 90K that is almost a mortgage

something needs to be done about this

At least... the VERY LEAST, eliminate or greatly reduce the interest made off these loans -- I lookd at the numbers and it is sickening how much money is made off student debt

I'll also finish college with some amount of debt, but at least it's nearly interest-free and I only have to repay 3% of my income above the minimum income each month.

Also the government gives me €373 each month so I can't complain. :P

Yeah, here we use the youth as a way to fund the old

I was fortunate, the only "debt" I got was because I didn't cancel "study finances" (money from the government for studying) on time, so I payed that with the received money

I got a couple scholarships

well, whatever they are called... freemoney

like 2000$ or so

10:06 AM

Probably scholarships

Those aren't really a thing in holland as far as I know

Here, you just have to apply for a bunchof them... your chances of getting some are pretty high

If your parents' income is low enough you receive some money, so everyone kind of has a scholarship anyway. :P

It just sucks to apply for -- most of them want 500 word essays or whatnot

Takes up a lot of time to apply -- but you cash out so its really worth it

€2000 for a 500-word essay seems like a pretty good deal.

naw, its more around 500-1000 each

I remember this rich kid in high school ended up winning a fully paid scholarship to the university of his chioce

What a joke that was -- like he already had a free ride

10:10 AM

@Lokkij more like an essay for a chance at that money

Yeah, a chance :) the game was to apply to as many as you qualified for

The money I receive to pay insurance with is also a bit more than my insurance actually costs, so that's another free €15 per month. :P

you are totally cheating the system man

Apparently its a crapshoot, if you get the bad one, you get 20% less battery life

Samsung and TMSC manufacturers

iPhone 6s Chipgate?

I'm still not sold on entity frameworks for games

I've found them quite useful, it's allowed me to prototype way faster in my gamejams

It also has the advantage of being very easy to load entities from a file

user92578

Hi guys!

Hello

sup typster

user92578

no homework

11:59 AM

:O

user92578

and we have some career lectures in this course

user92578

so today in the morning a game dev artist from Frozenbyte (Trines) came to talk about his job

user92578

it was really awesome

user92578

the guy was super nice and explained good stuff

Cool

12:00 PM

should of taped it

put it on youtube so we could of benefit from it as well -- damnit typ

user92578

Oh, and @MickLH I thought I'd just let you know that we're done.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

@Tyyppi_77 very cool

user92578

yeah

user92578

really basic stuff, I'm guessing I was the only one who really understood what he was talking about

12:01 PM

What is the most important thing you got out of it?

user92578

"rigging" and stuff

user92578

hmm

user92578

that's a good question

user92578

I guess what I really learnt that in the game dev industry, your education is not the whole deal. You really need to be into it and work on stuff on your own, so that you can present your work when applying.

user92578

I'm not sure if I actually want to be a game dev.

user92578

12:02 PM

But programming sure is something I'd like to do for a living

user92578

The guy went trough different positions in the business

user92578

He mostly focused on the stuff he did, rigging and animation

user92578

But he explained how programmers often have different focus areas in the team

user92578

Oh man, I'm still so hyped about it

yeah it's not just like "can you operate a spreadsheet?"
you need to be able to be creative, whether it's coding game logic, or modelling/rigging/art/texturing, or music

user92578

12:06 PM

I can't believe I thought about going to listen to an engineer

Games are fun

user92578

Yup

user92578

All tough I gotta say that he did not have a clue of how to use the Powerpoint-like tool in libreoffice

user92578

Which is kinda funny for a guy who can probably operate perfectly in Maya or something :D

user92578

But hey, what's up with you guys?

user92578

12:10 PM

@Jon oh and this. there were like 15 of us listening in a small class room, so whipping out my phone/magically getting myself a good camera and a stand would have been really weird
