Just saw a kid on a leash being forcefully guided by his father while he had a pacifier and his eyes glued on a screen. Millennials and further, do better.

Discussing grind culture and the games industry on X. And unsurprisingly, 280 characters wasn’t enough, so I accidentally wrote an essay instead
It’s about why I think we’ve started confusing self-sacrifice with professionalism. I hope people still read😅

@JoeWilsonEQ1 I think we are really having two very different discussions here, Twitter might not be the a good forum to have a discussion about how you can make your industry better and not a grind house.

@glen_da88 Trauma. Mi ricordo di quando ho lavorato un doppio turno a ferragosto in un ristorante, senza pause, tutto di corsa, e il capo che si stupisce che gli chiedo la paga di due turni, senza nemmeno un extra di straordinario (tutto in nero ovviamente)

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@JoeWilsonEQ1 Nobody is pretending that. We are really on different wavelengths.

Imo a lot of the posts around this currently read as endorsement or at least acceptance/resignation to how the industry is and promoting a grind mindset that helped creating this situation in the first place

@egyrm That they don't see or don't want to see how their statements come out is really frustrating

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

thinking of starting smoking some kilos of weed or heavily poisoning myself with alcohol to kill some braincells. It seems that every successful person either has dumb confidence, evil apathy, or both.

maybe some creative industries do deserve to die

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.

Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.

I just don’t get it.

@SyphoticART Sometimes it is even worse when they are in the industry. I remember one of my professors, a designer for Ferrari, he would come two hours late, talk about his life and leave early... I still don't know why he was "teaching"

This went off topic soz, you are a cool guy, +1 follow

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@SyphoticART I think we read his post in a different light, and I don't think I can agree with your more charitable read tbh then
got a little worked up lmao

I studied industrial design and architecture, I left also because of stuff like this and the attitude of the profs in furthering it

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@SyphoticART No, it is a fact of the job market. It didn't even exist as a career 100 years ago, it is a baby industry.
Even if it's fact, how it was put betrays an agreeance with it, that's what I am having a problem w/. It is also outdated as a learning method, specially for things like 3D

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@SyphoticART But the original from Henning is simply furthering it as a fact of life basically. It is irresponsible. If anything those already on the top should be fighting so that it may change, instead of black pilling some 19yo trying to study 3D in college.

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@erce_subasi It is absurd, and seeing teachers agreeing with it in the qrts is even worse, but also explains a whole lot.

Imo if you can't teach something to a decent professional level in uni hours, you may just be a bad teacher (and grind mindset is an outdated way of thinking/teaching)

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

This is how you make burned out 20yos

[Henning Sanden @henningsanden]

For 3D students: Most I’ve met simply aren’t doing the hours needed to get into the industry. Studying only 10:00-16:00 every day won’t cut it - particularly since only a portion of the day is spent on actual work.

@articaea What is funny is that it is AI, but literally nothing they pointed to is a sign and they missed everything that is

[Ari from Nowhere @AriNowhere]

@supawesomeholly he really has a masterful hand for light
