My contribution. Used this as my boss battle music for my one-shot (Final battle took place in basically a dungeon under an esteemed castle which was hiding horrific experiments and abominations). Was fitting, as this boss battle in Demon Soul's was creepy as shit. Also, felt so good when the group said I was great for a first timer, and wouldn't mind me running a longer campaign. | ||

My only problem has been that, from the start, I've wanted all the old masters to do really well because who knows when they're going to finally retire, join the army, and leave the pro scene forever. The thought of such legends leaving makes me sad, and some of the newer faces haven't really had enough time for me to really get attached to them. I'm also not that familiar with the SC2 pros but I'm glad we have them in the tournament. Plenty of old faces doing really well. It's more a case of the non-old masters being so few that they're storylines in and of themselves. I guess we're avoiding spoilers here then but even at ro24 you can count the people who weren't relatively big names in pre-sc2 broodwar on one hand. | ||

I mean yes, the work is good. Love the technology and projects and all that. When I get to work at my desk, I'm very happy. And the company does good work, I feel fulfilled when I contribute. There's nothing wrong with that. But this commute is making me want to die. 4 hours a day. I miss my wife and dog. I miss having hobbies. 20 hours a week on a train or walking and then occasionally push that longer because trains can be fucking unreliable. Not to mention lately the stuff around the job has gotten really annoying. "Why aren't you going to conferences or doing continued learning?" Because I just want to work 8 hours to keep food on the table and I have no aspirations of being Bill Gates or even Mark Zuckerberg. I just want to keep the lights on and have enough dosh to pamper my wife. "You should try innovating more and taking a leadership role at the company." No thanks, I just want to be told what to do and then do it. I don't think that makes me a bad person. And now this week we're holding a conference with a bunch of clients. 7am start time and then "entertaining clients" until 7pm. I leave my house at 5 am and don't get home til 9, all just so I can stand around unhappily while the business people schmooze up our clients. I just want to have home cooking and spend an hour in the company of my wife, but oh no we have to make our clients think that our developers loooove hanging out with strangers. For some reason. I never wanted to be the guy that let his work destroy his personal life. But here I am. And it's killing me. | ||

Won't help with the other 16 hours. but it'll give you that much needed break and time to spend with your wife. You'll maybe have to work a little harder the other 4 days to compensate, or you might be able to get even more stuff done on your own. But it could help if they agree. even if they allow it on a probationary level if your work quality drops or something. | ||

I dunno. I feel like I can keep it up with just a constant low level of frustration, but honestly I feel like there'll be a breaking point and I will always choose my family and my mental health over a job. | ||

I used to loath my commute, but since getting my RX-8 it might be the best part of my day. I literally beam the whole way there. Some times I skip lunch to just drive around. | ||

Driving here in the morning would take 2 and a half hours, most of which would be literally parked on I290. | ||

I like this job but there are plenty of others out there that are 20-30 minutes from my house. It would be nice to have time for video games again. I dunno.

It's not like breaking your family and mental health will actually help the people you work with anyways. Unless you're willing to move closer it sounds to me like you have the right idea, take a job closer to home even if it pays less. I forget the exact statistics but I remember hearing many times that length of commute is a huge factor for your overall wellbeing. The only time I haven't minded long commutes is when it gets factored into my work hours because it's part of the job description. | ||

I drive ~20 minutes to the train station, take a train for an hour, walk 30+ minutes to the office, immediately go to morning meeting. There's actually no shorter solution. | ||
