Morning Discussion

I had some trouble sleeping last night and started to do some mindless busy-work in an attempt to drain my energy levels and fall asleep. Soon, I came across an email from a former colleague of mine adamant that I purchase Game Dev Story.

I imagine I'm extremely LTTP on this one, but I could not stop playing it. In a weird way it reminds me of a PC game I used to play (maybe) ten years ago, titled Hollywood Mogul.

It was a primarily text-based game where you ran a movie studio, purchased properties to make into feature films (or developed your own idea), spent money on marketing and hiring the cast and crew, and released it in hopes that you'd create a smash hit.

There's something about all those little elements that I love. Eventually, all that thinking did my head in and I slept like an infant.

    Fridays are like mini holidays.

    I am celebrating by taking a moment to Shack.

      Also, wondering why no one else thinks it's a good idea to try to break this chunk of code up into multiple modules when it would give us so much more freedom and capability.

        I like our philosophy of putting modules into the cloud for multiple projects to use

        Last night I made the comment, "man, I wish every day could be Friday."

        But then I realized that would be some serious Twilight Zone living hell shit. You would eternally be teased that it was teh end of the week, but the week would never really end.

        Then I drank a little bit and felt better.

          Man, I wish every day could be Saturday. It's the only day better than Friday.
