Maybe they want older people with 50 years of experience in entry level work.
Junior being 25-40 years of experience.
At least 12 years of "exposure and name recognition payment" is still a must of course.
This time it's either accidental or through very controlled frame by frame analysis, I swear!
Took a bit since my last update, but there is finally a new archive post up.
Now to see if I can get someone from the Blackpantslegion to sit down and walk through their latest Tex Talks Battletech video with me.

will do!
Just wanted to send you a follow up nudge, in case you finished reading through some stuff, got distracted by new stuff and completely forgot about me. No worries if you got too much going on in general, I plan to stick around for another couple of decades.
For those that don't know how to do it in a non-triggering way:
I have just the archive for you.
electronicepileptic.wordpress.com/epileptic-tr...
Most of the blog posts are results of seizure triggering experiences I've had over a period of 4 years.
As someone with photo-sensitive epilepsy:
Please don't do that.
If you do that anyways, please make the bright effect stay static and stay around for at least 2 seconds.
I'd much rather watch a wonky animation than have a seizure while playing your game.
This does not apply to electrical house installation or plumbing.
I tend to feel like anyone spontaneously laughing, is doing so because they are laughing at me.
Best way I've found to get around it, is to remind myself that I'm here to make people smile and I managed to succeed without even trying.
So what you are saying is, that you gave people something to talk about, making their own ice breaking attempts easier?
Keep it up!
Oh yes, plenty of years to get it right.
But it is somewhat like coffee.
First it is just jet fuel in your veins.
Eventually it is something you need if you want to be even partially awake this day.
You'll want to get yourself into a solidly organized daily schedule at this point.
The meds have a diminishing effect over time.
I can do anything
I can do anything with my medication
I can do a lot if I'm medicated.
I can't do a thing without my medication.
Schedule things so it is a new norm.
sounds good. You can hit me up here or through the contact form on the blog site
To give an example of the difference between the two types of blog posts.
Here is one without dev comments
electronicepileptic.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/h...
and here is one with comments

And of course, if you don't want your game to be showcased like this, no hard feelings.
I understand that this is a project made with blood, sweat and tears, so it can be really hard to see people look at it from a perspective like mine and not be hurt by the attention.
The post will be going up on this site
electronicepileptic.wordpress.com/epileptic-tr...
and it will be used to help devs make great games without being running into the same health related minefield.
Having dev commentary explaining their process is really appreciated.
Constructive here means that I'll be taking the visual material you have provided, explaining the parts where I feel it beginning to provoke a seizure reaction and then commenting on what would need to be changed to remove that reaction.
No negative or detrimental statements intended or made.
Speaking of visibility, from a photo-sensitive epileptic perspective, your game is fascinating me.
There is a lot to learn, and even more to teach, from just the short video here.
I'd love to chat more with you, if you have the time to flesh out a constructive blog post with me.
Thank you for putting the photo-sensitivity warning up on this post.
Usually those warnings won't show up until after the game is bought, downloaded, installed and started.
Well well well. If it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
The people who get loudly angry about anything they don't like, are the only people who are posting instead of silently enjoying the game.
you might also want to think about how long you can stand being around a bunch of people and being the center of attention.
If you expect that you'll need a 5 minute break in the middle just to scream into a pillow, let the organizer know about this beforehand.
Get yourself some comfort food a few hours before the talk and some even more comforting food for a few hours after the presentation. That gives you a good vibe for the whole day and it makes the presentation seem like a part of the day instead of the absolutely only thing that can happen that day.
Get in the mindset that there is only one other person in the room at any given time. That being the person you are directly addressing.
Once you talk to a different person, the first one has magically disappeared or is returned to the background extras.
So I'm half signal boosting this for a friend and half casting around for suggestions on what kind of accessibility requests we could throw their direction.

So far it is looking surprisingly photo-sensitive epilepsy friendly.
Well I suppose that depends on why you made the game in the first place.
Did you make a game that you wanted to make? Then yeah, it's worth it.
Did you make a game that you just hoped would be a source of money?
Then it might still be worth it, depending on where that experience leads you career.
I was thinking more in the line of neon signage. Or band names.
This thing is fantastic.
It looks great, yeah.
But man is it ever going to be illegible without a cheat sheet next to me.
At least in longer writings
The correct words are also not "E Fadre, Et Pili, Et spiritus sancti."
It is also frowned upon to start the sermon "heavenly father, you who should have known better."
