I heard the management finally lost their sense of humour over his ol' poo-in-the-urinal trick, so gave him the heave. Could be just a rumour, but sources, you know. 

Gotta learn this one. 

I'm using W8.1, and Avast as my antivirus. I don't use DeepGuard.

Though about LockHunter, I just realized there's a "Other" tab, and inside there's "Terminate locking process". I don't know if I should do that, maybe that could imply closing System or do something bad in the process... 

You're aware that Windows Task Manager have a "programs" tab and a "process" tab, right? Maybe fteqcc shows as a "process" you can kill. 

My best bud suggested to add the filepath of my mod to the exceptions of my antivirus and IT WORKED

NOW I can truly go back 8D 

all that anger over how shitty FTEQCC was paid off! 

Most anti-virus are more trouble than they're worth. Internet is the source of most problems and can easily be avoided by just using your head about what you do there. All I use is built in Windows Defender because it rarely screws stuff up, but the browser has NoScript, Ghostery, etc, including a really big hosts file. 

I like avira.

Someone mentionned that we got better tools, including better sunlight. I assume this refers to ericw's new light compiler tool, with sunlight_2.
If this is true, does that mean the following screenshot is history, and we can finally get legit outdoor areas with just sunlight?

Why is it so hard to find local people interested in working with game development?

I mean, interested in WORKING. When I interview potential teammates, if I ask what "living a good life" means to them, the answers boils down to "buying lots of things". Not to creating a good work. Not to being proud of their skills. Not to making a difference. They just want to consume and die.

Holy fuck, this is frustrating. 

But since we're likely not locals... 

I think people who are interested in working on a non contributing thing like game devolepment do remember their efforts lie on the side of pleasure.

With non contributing I mean the urge for money, as with every task in the sense of time surviving.
Having a job that satisfies and gives reliable lifestandard is a good thing.

Working in game development for me is a hobby and I don't think if I would earn money with it my fantasy would continue long. (.)

When I am playing a game I don't need to think, don't have to do that input to solve problems and my only skills are winning the game.

It is like scraps, concepts that bear a good intention, a good start but were thrown apart by lack of involvement. That's frustrating. 

Portfolio before interview.

If they can't even give a link then you just saved yourself a wasted interview.

I once pushed for hiring a guy who brought a sketch pad full of random crap. He beat 4 other applicants (1 of which I'd proposed) because even though he didn't have the skills (at that time) he definitely had the hunger to make something.

When someone has that it's obvious in their work. The primary use of interviews is as a social test. And socially well adjusted probably isn't high on your list of requirements. 

Scampie is a shrimp and his blog is called Undersea Adventureland. But he never did an undersea Quake level (1, 2 or 3), unfortunately. 

I keep meaning to delete all the wordpress shit from my site and just have it be a listing of my maps. 

what shall we dowith the drunken shrimpies? 

That's borderline Shakespeare.
