I trained to be an architect and that didn't happen. No one at the egaming company I worked at knew what esport was so I was put in charge if marketing there. Wanted to work in games full on and applied for a marketing manager role elsewhere and in 2 weeks they made me Head of Brand lol.

One of the funniest (and embarrassing) examples of AI slop is this special Irish stamp celebrating Daniel O' Connell who fought against the British oppression of Irish Catholics..and apparently even in the 1700s loved a bit of catch up telly (from his santa sleigh)

Don't think it ever stops being a really cool feeling to see something you've set up appear in physical print in shops. Thanks again to EDGE magazines Ed for the Hell Let Loose Vietnam interview 😊

I'm once again going to bang on that spinal/back issues can strike at any time, building up unsuspectingly and then suddenly you wake up and life is changed.
Check yourself before you literally wreck yourself!
Also invest in a grabber and company portable stool, no matter your condition.
