Shoutout to this dog

big up that dog

you wanna learn to be cynical and jaded like me? well you can too with these easy simple steps

Dude, is everything ok?

Rejected by games company I applied to...got a job offer from another company BUT they may be taken over by Rupert Murdoch. #fml

That's unfortunate. Keep looking, applying, and building your portfolio and hopefully the next chance will work out better! (and hopefully ol' shitstain Murdoch doesn't buy out wherever you're working in the meantime)

Yeah...I mean it's still not confirmed that he's definitely gonna take-over (the deal has to get past UK regulators first), but tbh I'm not too sure about the company anyway. I think they're low-balling me with their offer and I didn't really like the manager who interviewed me.

Becoming popular enough that I'm able to sell out to a megacorporation is my life's dream.

I've already sold out to a megacorp. I've been working for said megacorp for the best part of three years. It's okay. Good points and bad points. The project I'm working on right now is a steaming pile of shit though, which is why I'm looking to move.

Third UK-based terrorist attack in the UK in four months, second in London. At this point I'm seriously considering going outside less

Of course the odds matter little too if you're dead.

yep

Yes I know "Don't let the terrorists win" and all that but it matters little who wins and who loses if you're dead

Good luck, Yellow! Don't let it break your calm, I'm sure you're more than capable of handling the change should it come.
Thanks NS! I think it's time to have some change in my life, so I'm just going for it full-speed ahead. #noregrets

Regina, Saskatchewan is outside of London!
If there are any gamedev companies feel free to refer me...........

Good luck. Midlands should have affordable housing too.
Yeah, Midlands are much more affordable than London - however as a result, the salaries are lower too. By going from working in a bank in London to a gamedev company in Midlands, I'd almost certainly be taking a pay cut - but I'm at a point in my life where (as privileged as it sounds) I don't give a crap.

I have a Skype interview with the CTO next week...fingers crossed...

Good heavens no. This job is in Leamington Spa in the West Midlands - there are a bunch of games companies clustered around here for some reason.
