  • My wife is quite sensitive to noises and my neighbor was often playing bass-heavy music in the evening but rarely late, until one night he played until 3 AM (stopped quickly after we ourselves got to bed so I didn’t go and complain that night.) Next day, I knock on his door asking if he’s the one playing music at 3 AM.

    To my surprise, the man apologizes, says he was baked and didn’t realize how loud he was. Adds that if he ever is disturbing us in the future, to come and tell him right away.

    Now, we’re surprisingly more tolerant of his musical habits just knowing how polite and apologetic he was about it. So what could have been a rocky start ended up with us being cool.





  • “Do something that you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

    Bullshit. I worked in the video game industry in a field I’m very passionate about with great people who were all talented. But the industry burned me out and almost killed my passion for games as a hobby with the endless unpaid overtime, constant crunch and deadlines, fairly low wage and all that investment was rewarded by eventually being let go along with all the less senior staff because our studio was bought out and the parent company told to cut expenses.

    Don’t work for the video game industry, people. Make indie games by all means. But stay clear of the big names.
