If I weren't responsible for some three mafia games right now I'd be taking a month-long retirement from the internet.  Or more.  I'm exhausted.

[Bauglir]

I feel like I should email you some brownies. But then I remember this world isn't wonderful enough to allow that yet. But then I remember that, if it were, I'd probably be incapable of standing under the weight of all the junk food I'd transmit to myself. Point being, I'm far too tired to come up with a clever way of saying I wish you luck. Take it easy, buddy.

D: You could call in a co-mod to help..and if it'd make you happier, I'm really really enjoying how you do your games..

My friend decided to do another "I'm going to faux argue with you and degrade you sort of thing, while you do your normal thing and not reply"
Not sure how to explain it too well, but I is sad for a bit now :L

With friends like that ...

Feeling a bit better.  Don't worry about me, I'm kind of moody.

Why do my threads always blow up while I'm asleep?

[Nadaka]

bored. not enough bugs to keep me busy at work. We are in the post release lull.

[penguinofhonor]

Aren't there usually tons of bugs post-release? Or is it early enough that people haven't even reported them yet?

[Nadaka]

Not really. Bugs have to go through a lengthy process from the airforce through oversight to our representatives then the test engineers for confirmation, then back for approval and packaging and budgeting, and then back over to our side where they are transferred manually into our bug control software and handed out to developers.

Right now, the only work to do is on internal products and things that were supposed to go into the last release candidate and couldn't be finished in time.

Math is fascinating. One of the things I want to learn in college is higher maths (engineer level? Actually not sure if CS people get advanced math...) so I can know how more complex simulations tick.

But it's not fun in this form =/

Can't say as I don't know where you live, but here in the EU (I think education in all EU members is standrdized anyway) civil engineers don't quite get the level of math you get in a dedicated math/physics uni education. In my experience anyway, I never did continue the education so meh...
Agree that as far as math is concerned, anything short of the real deal is...ugh.

Well, I meant computer science... o_O

Computer Science in the states will get fairly advanced math courses.

That varies. My alma mater had a Computer Science and Math program with a high level math focus, add calculus base physics and take the algorithms and computational science electives (can't recall all of their specific coarse names) and you get a strong math based programming degree. Other schools treat CS as little more than software engineering.

Seconded.  My college had three CS degree programs: one was OMFGmath, one was standard, and one was business-oriented.  Sadly, I went the math route.  It's a bit of a blur now, but I remember having taken calculus 1-3, somethingsomethingsomething, a few 400-level math courses ending in numerical analysis, which nearly killed me.  I think it was only a few credit hours away from being a math minor, really.

Oddly, I really don't get much out of the video games I used to enjoy a lot.

Starcraft II, etc etc is very different from brood war. Everything seems repetitive. I don't get it ... it seems.

It feels like work, somehow.

I've kind of struggled with this a bit myself the last couple years... and I think it's force of emotional habit from two influences -- working full-time and modern game design's focus on rpg elements.  The former forces you to adapt to spending most of your time in a working mindset, and after some years it gets really difficult to remove yourself from it.  The latter merges a working mindset into an activity that's supposed to be play in a manner that's designed to be behaviorally addictive.  Shouldn't be too hard to understand what's going to result from that combination of things.

Muscle atrophy makes me sad.
