I'm currently working in my first job as a freelance storyteller for a video game. Also, my very own game (made with a friend) will be featured as a demo in a Virtual Reality showroom for a german boardgame publisher. And i'm still working on a boardgame with a friend, where we finally got to the phase of only individual card fixes and flavour changes, and are now looking for artists. And finally, there is nothing else going incredibly wrong, so i can really enjoy it.
What's the game like?

Which? The first i am legally bound to not talk about, sorry.
The second is a puzzle game where you save robots in a deadly factory using only one button and your brains.
The third is a euro-game about ancient gods, which i also feel i can't say too much about. It uses a novel yet easy mechanic to play cards. And no, it's not a deck builder.

If i wanted to play Virtual Reality Dominion, i would launch Tabletop Simulator and put on the Oculus i borrowed, although it's not as much fun as real Dominion. It's the other way around with my game, as that one is much more fun than actually working in a deadly factory.

My first tennis match us tomorrow and I'm playing three singles, which means (on paper) I'm the third best player on the team. Since I'm a freshman, it's a pretty exciting achievement!

I dunno, working in a deadly factory sounds pretty fun.

Then buy my game when it's out, you'd like it. In fact, all of you should buy my game. Or else!

Haha that's exactly where I started my freshman year. Then I switched to doubles because I liked it more.

Yesterday, I got to fire a real M72A5 LAW anti-tank rocket. Today, I got to fire an APILAS (although the APILAS was with a training rocket). For the record, extremely few people get to do either of these things during the military training in Finland, and both of these things are indescribably amazing experiences.

would you say that experience is more fun or less fun than, hypothetically, shooting memes from a memegun

Got a new job! My current job switched me from .Net to Java recently. And since all my experience and expertise is in .Net, I haven't been happy about it. I'll be starting next month; after some vacation time.

So update to my lifting posts, I got up to (units pounds):

squat: 355
deadlift: 315 (maybe 1 rep of 325)
bench press: 190
overhead press: 115
barbell row: 155

This was about three to four weeks ago.  I was too heavy though.  I got up to 225 pounds and decided I had to drop.  So three and a half weeks ago I started tracking my calories (never done that before), and I've lost about 15--17 pounds since then by capping my intake at ~2000.  I was really surprised it dropped so quickly.  (It's also a lot more than is generally recommended, but oh well.). I've never really restricted my diet before, just tried to not eat to unhealthily.

I've also been eating more protein for breakfast (eggs) and no cereal.  I feel a lot better throughout the day.

Edit: Oh also, like two inches off waist measurement, which is a bit better gauge then weight.  (Some weight lost is certainly muscle.  My lifts have all gone down by a bit.)

That's really impressive!

How long have you been lifting? How much did you weight before you started?

That's really impressive!

How long have you been lifting? How much did you weight before you started?

I've been doing squats for quite a while, over five years.  I had done deadlifts occasionally in that time frame, along with various other things, but no regular regimen.  I didn't get 'serious' about a program  until around six months ago.   (June 8 was the first day I started the new lifting program.)  Before the program I would squat up to 225 lbs (two plates on each side of the bar), and occasionally go up to ~20 lbs higher.  However, I don't think my form was very good. 

Before starting the program I weighed about 215 lbs.  A month or two after the program, my squat got up to 315 lbs, and my weight jumped up to 225.   Being that heavy made me really slow for volleyball (along with lots of ankle pain jumping and landing), so now I'm trying to cut down to as light as I can be while not losing too much strength. 

My form was better (I think; hard to judge these things), but I still could not get as low as I want to.  I have an issue with ankle flexibility, so it's basically impossible for me to do a complete 'ass-to-grass' squat.  However, if I take a wider stance, focus on keeping knees out and warm up hip flexibility, I can get fairly low, significantly below parallel.  So that's what I'm working on now; I dropped down to 275 to make sure I go absolutely to the bottom on each rep, and am working back up to 315+.

The program includes all the lifts I said before.  It's called Stronglifts 5x5, and is basically designed for beginner lifters to get them to an intermediate stage. My start -> max progression was basically:

squat: 225 -> 355
deadlift: 225 -> 315
bench press: 135 -> 190
overhead press: 65 -> 115
barbell row: (never did before) -> 155

Thanks for the detailed info! I've been trying 5x5 stronglifts too for the past 3 months, but I had barely ever done any lifting before, so I am starting from scratch. I have been tracking what I eat, and I am somewhere around 140-145 pounds, so obviously I don't expect to lift anything similar to what you do.

What I've been finding most difficult is solving my shoulder pain (from being hunched over a laptop for the past 7 years), which makes standing overhead tricky (I am doing it seated at the moment), and even forces me to be careful with the bench press. But also one of my legs is an inch or two shorter than the other, which means that squatting is by default fairly messed up for me, I am moving to single leg squats for the time being because "heavy" (for me) squats were actually downright painful.

I actually enjoy the few exercises that don't make some pre-existing condition flare up :p
