family went home a couple days ago so recharging my Give a Shit batteries after the blitz of getting ready for them and then hosting them

Had a lame start since I was awake for about 22 hours before I was able to rest. But after getting a nap in and some time to myself I got a good chunk of work done. A couple friends got me into FF16 that just came out so I'll probably dive into that some.

My partner and I have been house hunting for about half a year and we are so tired of it lol

Good, but tired. Needing to do a lot of website stuff in short order, but that's a lot of us right now, I imagine. Getting up the gumption to remake a map I lost the file of for an indie project I'm helping with. Spare time will come along soon, I'm sure!

Rentin' or buyin'?

Buying! We really want a place that we can do to whatever we want (within the law of course) :slight_smile:

I've been wondering if that's something I could perhaps aspire to. I always assumed it was going to be impossible and maybe it is, but I'm sorta realising I've never looked into it because of that assumption and glancing around. It's pretty complicated and intimidating

Sure is, there's a ton I had to learn in the past year+! From how financing a house works (this one's bound to be very different between countries...) to what you really need to take a hard look at when you're viewing a house in person (age and type of heating is an ahem hot topic in Germany right now).

It's also a really long and arduous process in general - even after filtering out obvious lemons we look at 10 houses we dislike for each one that we like. And then you either find one big problematic issue or it's over your budget and others outbid you...

It's certainly a marathon, not a sprint, but... well, we're game developers :laughing:

Bumping this because I don't want the forum to be dead

I got a new job! Going in for my ID stuff tomorrow, paid training starts... Sometime.

Fuckin sick, what's the job?

Airport security. Think TSA but better trained and more empathetic.

I have been working nights lately so my free time has been in the dumpster, but the pay is okay and the people are mostly alright, as far as customer service jobs go.

If I ever go through security at your airport, you are allowed to do one false drug flag on my luggage, as a lil prank.

We don't check for drugs, we don't even care if you're travelling with them lol. That's custom's job! We just check for guns, knives, and potential bombs.

And liquids over 100ml because that one jackass in 2006 was like "Hmm Hydrogen peroxide can be used to make rocket fuel, what if I brought a bunch on a plane and built an IED during the flight"
