Grammarly: You're the Dynamo.
Miroboard: In 2024, you communicated most with the 3C programmer.
Artstation: Your last portfolio update was in June 2024. Oof. 😅

2014: think of your year results.
2024: here are your year results.

Last week: upgrading GPU to make the home project run better.
This week: learning Shift+Ctrl+[,] GPU built-in profiler to find out old Niagara Fluids system to slow down all the showcase room.
L = Logic... 🤣

Also: learning profiling on the weekend instead of playing new games.

Me: I’ll never play it, because they are brilliantly talented—and this setting would scare the soul out of me!

Gamer Dads be like:
Office coffee talk:
- I just deleted all my games. Completely.
- Every single one? - I ask.
- Yep! What else could I do after my kid brought home his failing grades!
- Oh, for the kid... I thought for yourself!
- No way, I'd never do that to myself!
