  • Genuine opinion: Who cares?

    Who cares if what we enjoy is changing, at all. It’s kinda like if you go to a bowling alley, to go bowling. Do you show up and decide to bowl if there’s other people bowling or not? I’m gonna go bowling regardless, that’s why I went to the bowling alley.





  • I gave away my unopened Lambo (42115) set after staring at my unfinished Bugatti (42083) set that sat for 2+years without progress. Both were covered in dust. I accepted that I might never open the other set.

    No, I’m not rich. I just bought 5 sets when I went to legoland on a trip my therapist suggested to get out of a depression slump. The other sets were small and digestible.

    I aim to finish that set this year.







  • Ive been programming as a hobby before I got a degree in game programming last year. I applied to as many companies as I could, for 6 months, before my funds ran dry. I was forced to go back to min wage.

    I’ve seen people program, and I’ve seen people “program”. People who “program” do it 10 times faster than someone who takes the time to solve the problem and build a modular solution that scales.

    Who is the company going to hire, the person who fixes it fastest, or the person who fixes it right?

    I’m using my degree to seek a new career. I love programming, but I can’t fight the industry.


  • Not exactly. There is a web-based game called GeoGuesser, where users are given a picture and guess where the picture was taken on a map. You get a higher score the closer you get.

    One player I follow called GeoWizard makes YouTube videos of his games, as well as challenges himself to find locations of fan photos and such. Your situation sounds like the ladder. :D

    On a different note, he also takes on real life challenges, such as crossing European countries in a (nearly) straight line, or traveling as far as he can with just 10 pounds in his pocket. Recommend checking out a series if you’ve got time.
