This was me last summer... editing sound in a forest.

lush!

did you have/need internet? how’d you manage battery stuff?

Think I’ll try and do this shit srsly.. proper digital nomad style.. I’ll be able to work on stuff as long as there’s a cell tower for SSH & juice for the phone & laptop..

I was just out recording ambiences and... well... people role playing as vikings, haha. You can see the mic in the bag. So I only had to use my computer every now and then to edit files.

But yeah, I just hooked my laptop up to my phone's 4G - which was a fucking pain in the ass because the connection was TERRIBLE.

looks like this

it’s the plan!

It isn’t green enough yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that's really lovely and all guys but let's be real, how fucking uncomfortable is it to do that for more than like 2 hours?

i mean, the ergonomics of fallen trees is pretty shit. i think that's why they invented tables and eventually desks innit

good point, tbh you’re right. it’s ok tho... as long as there’s something to lean back against.. also it’s better to take regular breaks anyway, walk around a bit... maybe climb a tree or smth

Lush. If I were in a line of work that didn't require a decent internet connection, I would love to try the same thing.

You would assume that tethering your phone's data connection to your computer would be a lot better by now.

I finally started hitting the gym today. My plan from here on out is to do it right before work, at least 5 times a week. See how many lbs/kilos I can shed over the next few months, but more importantly improve my overall health.

Really just trying to step out of my comfort zone more in general lately.

That's awesome! I find when I get in a rut with exercise, it's the first couple weeks getting into the swing of things again that is hardest. I bet you get addicted to it, great stress relief.

Not only is it a benefit, but in the long run, I think a necessity for life longevity. Mornings are better anyway because of the endorphin and metabolic boost you get for the rest of the day.

I always work out at night. Keeps me burning fat at night plus muscles recover faster when sleeping. If you’re going for five days a week (I might suggest easing into it), muscle recovery will be key.

Obviously, YMMV.

It sounds like you've really reached a new level with this new material :D The third track I especially can't wait to hear, very menacing!

I was just contacted by another game company. Damn.

I have a hard time sleeping if I work out later in the day (2-3hrs before bedtime type of thing). 

Got two dates this week with two pretty hot women. Both of whom seem extremely interested, constant unprompted messages on whatsapp etc.

I assume the fwp will come when I like both of them and both of them like me and I have to choose one.

Or the opposite :^)

I literally Googled the question "is it better to work out in the morning or in the evening" the other day, and part of the answer I got was that evening workouts actually result in a 25 percent reduction in sleep. So there you go.

Sitting in a tree......

this is fine, should’ve brought a cushion..

Drop test ?

My phone died in the middle of my last delivery, which was at an apartment with no buzzer number given.  Luckily I memorized the address right before the phone died (which I rely on 100% for directions + getting paid for deliveries I complete), and when I showed up the girls who ordered it were waiting in the lobby.  They were all drunk and happy.  Crisis averted!  Charged my phone when I got home so I could still get paid for it.  Though even if I didn't, I still would have felt satisfied with actually making that delivery happen.  I had one major order fuckup last week and probably can't afford another one, so this was a lucky FWS indeed.
