watching this video atm. finding out that scott cawthon worked at dollar general up until FNAF is insane. i work at dollar tree, currently building my game. not that it's going to be as big as FNAF, no way. but it's just interesting to see that similarity.

@beardalaxy I think the person who made Stardew Valley was working part-time at a movie theater, but he was also leeching off of his wife.

@xianc78 i wouldn't say he leeched off of her. she was incredibly supportive of him and only had to be for a few years. she's not being "leeched off of" much now, is she? stardew valley is incredibly successful and the man put in the hours to make it happen.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 i thought he lived off savings. i saw that photo he posted of his work desk and its just like a jumble of phonebooks.

silver spook wrote his game on a potato laptop in the back of his car

@icedquinn @xianc78 at least the wikipedia entry says that his wife (then girlfriend) worked two jobs while he was working on the game and ushering.

@icedquinn @xianc78 my best friend's wife was a single mom who paid for their apartment mostly by herself while he was going through school. now he's a pharmacist and makes bank so she gets to be a stay at home mom.

relationships can be rocky at times, but trusting in each other and making sacrifices usually turns out pretty well and keeps the relationship strong.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 taraban had a video about that. he was relating getting them super high class boyfriends to trying to work for a company. you have to show up before the company makes it big to get equity; otherwise you're just gonna get salary.
