Does your school offer a coop program (e.g. Canada, US)? That can be a great way to transition into a job after your degree and give you a sense of what the actual work is like in your field.
Take a look at the required courses for a CS degree. Depending upon the school, they can skew towards the theoretical side. You might find computer or software engineering is more attractive. Or, with your art background, architectural engineering might be something to consider.
I think Mega Man 2 (1988, NES) is marvelous, and still holds up. If you’re interested in arcade emulation (eg Mame), NewZealand Story is fantastic (also 1988). Good graphics for the time, great music, and cute character design.
Are you near Kent? Folks helping folks is what gets me up in the morning. But some days are easier than others.
If you’re a fan of classic mega man, Rock n roll is absolutely amazing.
That’s rad! I’m glad it worked out.
I totally agree, but I’m not sure OPs notion of ‘cold’ is the same as ours.
You might like the OST from Chocolat, or (this is more of a stretch), The moon and antarctica by Modest Mouse. If that is too uptempo, you could try the Sun Kil Moon cover album of Modest Mouse, Tiny Cities
You can get 4$USD (0.7 ml) samples from luckyscent.com. I have a friend who LOVES Zoologist, particularly the more complex offerings like Civet and Hyrax.
‘There are two errors…’ by Robert M Martin?
One where I realized I was wrong three times. My wife and I had visited a modern art museum. One of the installations was a pile of candy in the corner. We got home, I said it’s ridiculous to call that art, and ridiculous to fund artists to create lazy, self-indulgent nonsense. She convinced me that I am in no position to arbitrate what is or isn’t art (she is right, of course). Then I realized she wasn’t arguing about art, she was upset about something that had happened at work (that was my second miss).
Twenty years later I found out what that candy is all about. It was a piece by Felix Gonzalez Torres called “Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA) 1991” It is 175 lbs of candy that patrons are free to take. It represents his lover, Ross Laycock, who had wasted away from AIDS earlier that year (Gonzalez Torres would die from AIDS six years later). So long as there is funding for the arts, Ross is replenished endlessly. For the third miss, I was Oedipean-level wrong.
I really like sambar. It’s lentil-based. Super easy if you have a pressure cooker/instapot.
