I've only told a few people of this. Last February 26th, I took an online certificate course from Career Step to try to become a Medical Transcriptionist (because my video game degree got me nowhere) which is basically a job where I have to learn a lot of medical terminology and type down what doctors dictate to me by audio files. Problem was... I had little to no medical terminology, and the online course work they had for it was confusing. Also, I normally wouldn't have a problem typing down what other people said... if they weren't such bad mumbling speakers!!! To top it off, I learned from online message boards that the medical transcriptionist field is a dying field, so it wouldn't have gotten me anywhere. This was my parent's idea for me to have a stay-at-home job on the computer. Nice and all, but it wasn't something I wanted to do, medicine is NOT my nitch and how can you expect to type something when the audio file you have is of a guy mumbling? So, yeah, I had to take a final exam which I had three tries on, and all three tries I failed.
Sorry, but Career Step... I do NOT recommend!
... but, I'm not upset. In fact, I'm happy that Career Step for me is finally over! Now to move on. What am I doing now?
Well, on August 24th, I managed to get myself a volunteer position for a video game company called Interceptor Entertainment as a Quality Assurance Tester! THIS WAS THE BIG BREAK I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! I basically play a video game and I report bugs. The best part is that I am finally getting work experience AND my name is in the credits! This will definitely help me stand out when I apply for other video game companies (or I may just stay with Interceptor, I like it).
Right now, we've finished Beta testing a new 1.2 version of the game "Rise of the Triad" on Steam, but I can't tell you what's new in 1.2 due to a non-disclosed agreement I made when I signed on. But I can tell you that my name is in the credits! Who knows where I'll end up soon.
So, in conclusion, the whole Medical Transcriptionist thing didn't work, but I finally got my big break, I got my foot in the door with a video game company. My dream of being a game developer has started!

I don't get it
Why are people so obsessed and praising "Sonic Frontiers" so much? And what's the deal with this "Final Horizon" thing? Why do people love this game so much? Sorry, but I just don't get it.
What PAW Patrol means to me
Ten years ago, a cartoon premiered on Nickelodeon. August of 2013 gave us the show "PAW Patrol" created by Keith Chapman (famous for creating "Bob the Builder") starring six puppies and their ten-year-old tech-savy boy named Ryder. Where was I at the time? At the time I was unemployed (five months away from employment actually) and my mom was running an in-home daycare. In addition, at the time I also had a 33-month-old nephew named Nick. Before he was born, I was excited but also nervous about becoming an uncle, with my biggest fear being "Will he like me? I know he will love me, but will he like my company?" Despite being nervous around babies, I tried to bond with him so I needed a trigger. That trigger came in August of 2013. That month premiered the show "PAW Patrol" on Nickelodeon. It turns out to have all the traits I love in a show. Unlike shows made for adults and mature audiences, kids shows don't have too much (or in some cases, overdo) emotional drama and tensions between
UPDATE: Why I am NOT excited for Sonic Frontiers
UPDATE: Last night took a load off my shoulders. I had a chat with the guy I mentioned last night, said what was needed, apologies were made, and now I feel comfortable to play Sonic Frontiers without feeling anger or resentment. --- Believe it or not, I am actually NOT... NOT... repeat, NOT excited for "Sonic Frontiers" coming soon!!! Why? My reason is personal and I'm angry about it! Get ready for a rant coming. Before the title was called Frontiers, the previous title for the game was called "Sonic Rangers" and I personally liked that title. Mainly because anybody who knows me knows how very pro-military I am. I instantly thought of the 75th Rangers as a funny inside joke on my part. But that's just me. I have NOTHING against the Frontiers title, I was a little upset they got rid of Rangers, but I just shrugged my shoulders and let it be. There's no shame in my belief saying "My heroes don't wear capes, they wear dog tags!" What does this have to do with Sonic Frontiers? It
Outlived Marcus
To those who know, we lost the wonderful Marcusthehedgehog back in 2020. He was born 19/1/1984 and passed 12/8/2020 (that military dating format) He lived for exactly 17,474 days. My birthday is 29/10/1985, so that means today I've been alive for 17,475 days. I just surpassed Marcus. I miss you so much, buddy.

You working as a tester, lucky you. XD I'd say enjoy what you're doing as a voluntary tester, but I can see you already are. I hope your dream comes true in a massive way.
