Day 1487
Welp, its been like 4 years since the C&A situation, its been a while, K over here has been living the american dream, comfortable riches, living with 2 of my previous co-workers and we together are now millionaires, lots has happened in these years, to be honest its so much i cant physically write it all down, normally i make dumb*!#%* diary entries when i have stress, which in my old company was a lot, so its impressive that i can revisit this without dying inside.
So for starters since my imaginary viewers probably forgot, the basics of what happened: I was the lead dev of The Amazing Digital Circus! It was supposed to be some VR esque thing with an machine C&A was making, we made an ultra-advanced AI that still beats the current AI, i mean ChatGPT got nothing on Caine, and then the project went to *@%@^* due to the CEO going insane and shooting me, so thats that.
The company got dissolved, and i was going to go my own ways to California but since it ended up failing due to some random investor buying it up first, capitalism at its worst, i ended up going with my two friends and coworkers, Dave and Abe to New York, we mostly been just living the life and working, i got a new job on another indie dev company, Dave ended up making his own startup for a bit then went back and started working for an local bank, Abe ended up going to Microsoft, and we have just been chilling, 3 high-experience and high-paying men living together, 2 of them passing 10 years of experience(Abe with 10ish and me with 12ish).
Im what the internet considers an "Unc" now, really COVID hit the fan hard and i guess the internet turned into Fallout, really what the *@%@&* is meme culture now, what next, they gonna start memeing around a number? Wouldnt be surprised if the dad jokes start coming back for some reason.
Really it was annoying at first to stay home due to COVID but not only do we do a bit less work, we ended up gaming together a lot more, we tried making an youtube channel with varying degrees of success, might have to make my own with coding tutorials, double digit experience could really use some exercising in these troubling times.
Anyways Dave wanted to visit our hometown to remember the old days of C&A, and also use it as an chance to get out while we still can, and i support it, but hopefully my brain doesnt have some mental problem due to it that causes me to have an stroke when i see the destroyed building.
Really, i kept it all behind for an reason, i still have the code for the game and some stuff is still unanswered, like why was the server on for some reason, why is it when i look on where the HQ was, the building is still decently upkept, why is it that no news of the situation hit the media and why is it that nothing happened from me getting shot and the potentially global repercussions of an machine like theirs to be leaked to the public, i considered leaking the code in some way, but im not sure it would work.
Welp, it was good revisiting this, im not sure if ill keep going for a bit longer, just to get up to times, but it was an interesting time i lived through, i still have good memories of the team working together, i mean other than Dave and Abe i barely have contact with any of my other coworkers, i still got Ninja added on Steam but he hasnt logged on in weeks, Lana just disappeared, Matt is currently in Italy for some reason and my old CEO is currently in some jail somewhere.
It was an time, alright, hopefully i can revisit it one more time before burning this diary with the C&A building or something, i just... want this to end so i can finally officialize my new life, i moved on.
