    I am kind of vaguely looking for a new job, I stress vaguely, made only 2 applications in the last 2 months... But, but, but.... got an email for an interesting looking job Wednesday from an HR company.... though it's in goddamn Melbourne! :~ But work remotely is available and pays well.... got a call from the HR today.. the job is with fucking EA Games! The publisher! To work with the FrostByte team (the team that create their top of the line gaming engine)! Additionally, video game / 3D animation is the last one kind of app I never worked on but always thought it would be cool! :) Already did a lot of desktop app dev (WinForm, WPF, UWP), Window Service, Web Service, Web App, Xamarin Phone & Tablet App (iPhone & Android), SQL and Database management, RaspBerry PI-solar inverter driver, but no video game at all yet... :-\ I can't fucking believe it! Now I better ace the interview process! :-D

              Every years, plenty of dreamy young men (of only 49 years of age! that's me! :D ) get lured by the siren song of the video game industry!

BTW, thanks for reminding me... :~ Mmm... we are in Australia here, not goddamn America, should be right? you give me second thoughts..... Salary is good though, there is that.

                  That only means your chances of getting shot are considerably lower and if you get shot at least you can pay the hospital bill, but at the price of about 0.8 freedoms per bald eagle³ :laugh: The crunch happens even in Europe though. But don't listen to me! You should only regret the things that you didn't do :)

                    Yes, even when I worked in Germany the Crunch came because we had American managers involved. :(

                    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                              I had to write a WPF sample pp for them... Took me a lot more than the hours the HR suggested.. (I am rusty hey, no WPF in like 3 years now) But the end result code is very neat loved it! :) Also.. added some async IAsyncEnumerable and IObservable goodness to handle mouse drag in a 10 line method which looks totally procedural and straightforward.. Hopefully they will be both surprised and impressed! :D
