I am gonna start my last semester in CS so for me it was just generally games. I went pretty fast from the game dev aspiring route over to other professional areas in my HS years. What about you?

Combat medic. With my handy smoke grenades and zapper paddles, I can help lying-down-but-not-dead-yet people make a full recovery.

Beacon’s hot. I’m ready.

Now I just gotta find someone to hire me.

It was game design, and I discovered it playing ZZT.

For the unfamiliar, ZZT was a game that came packaged with the tool used to make the game. A bustling Internet community grew up around making and sharing games using this engine. The ZZT scripting language was one of the first languages I learned, alongside BASIC. Nowadays, game-making engines are chocabloc, but back then it was something special, almost unique.

Not me personally but related. American Truck Simulator has started displaying in-game billboards for an irl truck driving recruiter.

I’m usually pretty strongly against in game advertisements, but this one just kind of makes sense to me.

Yeah I’ve heard about this. It’s really a great idea which is a perfect 2 birds with 1 stone situation.

The entire Ace Combat series, though I’m trying to study for airport management because my eyes aren’t good for piloting.

Great taste ngl. I’m really glad that that Bandai finally revived the genre, so I was able to try it. It’s an absolute blast.
