Ironically, I'm getting more done with Jugg 2 as finals approach. Earlier today, I had another epiphany about a significantly easier way to do what I was having problems with. Just one line extra. I've said that idk how many times now, "With this one line, I can save 50." I'm hovering under 10,000 lines, so I'd probably be over otherwise. I think I slowed down because of some bugs that weren't easily solvable. I tend to pigeonhole and only focus on fixing things rather than continuing my progress. But I read a nice article today by HobbyGameDev (who interestingly goes to my uni) about productivity traps. That put the minor bugs into perspective. Then I crapped out that epiphany.
I love WYSIWYG editors. So much. Thank you ngstaff. This is my favorite part of the site now. I mean, look at this line break.
Five finals, one for each day of the week. I was worried about one class, but somehow I'm above the course average. The other classes should be alright, one I'm concerned about, but the rest are easy/I get to use a crib sheet. I never make one for tests to make taking the test more fun, but I don't dick around with exams.
To add to my distractions, I just got into Hearthstone's beta. I like the game, but I don't like how people have better cards than I do. People kill everything on my side of the board with some rare card, and I have to level up 3 more times to get that card. Once I get that, people start pulling legendaries on me. I guess they paid money for booster packs, but I made an oath that I would never pay for certain in-game content--usually cosmetics and boosts. This arose from when I quit MapleStory after having spent way too much money trying to be a slightly above-average damage dealer. Those sites who say you can make money by doing surveys? I did so many of those. They aren't (entirely) scams, but it took me 3 months to get $150...which was all spent on that game. I had to make a new email address for each offer (I think I made 80 unique emails), and I created dozens of VirtualBox partitions for the download offers.
Yes, I was obsessed.
Time spent:
- Game dev: more
- Dota 2: same
- Hearthstone: way more
- Finals: fuck me
