Post by: Kaios on February 08, 2020, 10:42:42 am: Went to college for Computer Programmer Analyst, but then decided nah I hate this. Went to college for law (quite the leap from CPA I know), graduated, and worked in personal injury for a few years. Got laid off. Went back to college for business and worked at another law firm during that time as well, graduated, currently looking for a new position somewhere. Ideally in something personal injury related but I'm looking at most any clerical/administrative positions that are unrelated to legal as well. I also do some volunteering with the CNIB which in Canada is the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, I have enjoyed it very much so far.

Other than that I just play whatever games I find interesting, which isn't much because almost every online game developer sucks these days so I find myself jumping around different games rather often.

Post by: The Muffin Man on February 09, 2020, 12:27:01 pm: I work in IT, can't really stick to a game that long these days because they all bore the wolf out of me with their grindy microtransaction-fueled crap. Spending the rest of this year paying off any debt I have left/my car and probably moving because my location is closing down, but idk where yet. Kinda thinking about grabbing a Raspberry Pi and delving into Python and see if that interests me any.

Amateur boxing in my free time, but games wise I only really play league of legends now as I like the competitiveness.

Nothing has yet managed to fill the void that rpgwo left :')

Post by: Jon The Great on February 14, 2020, 05:06:30 pm: Makes sense rpgwo was kind of a techie game. Lots of commands to type.

Yep! I started as helpdesk 6 years ago, moved my way to a jr sys admin, then a sys admin and now I'm an engineer. I'd like to swap careers to developer though. I find coding to be a lot more fun vs routing protocols and moving data across a network. :P

What are you doing specifically?
Title: Re: Now we are all much older
Post by: Tommy on February 14, 2020, 11:16:07 pm: I delved into the Hospitality industry almost 2 years ago. I love it. Recently moved to a new city with my fiancée. Found out we are pregnant like 3 days after we got engaged! Super excited to be starting a family in this hell-hole of a world (can only wish for the best for our families, right?).

I don't play many games regularly, partly due to a lack of time, but mostly because they fail to hold my interest for longer than a week or so.

Jumped back into doing art again. Pixel art mostly, if you know anyone needing some pixels made shoot them my Fiverr. (shameless self-promotion ;D ;D) (https://www.fiverr.com/share/8zDADq)

Also, like Gimpy, drugs.
