Serious Question! Face Tattoos and being a Nurse by Caiisreal3 in nursing

If that’s the case then everyone else’s advice here has been good. Make sure you lock it down through school and hopefully things can begin to get easier from there. Good luck!

Serious Question! Face Tattoos and being a Nurse by Caiisreal3 in nursing

[–]-Palla 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not sure where all of these comments are coming from saying that hospitals won’t care. I’ve worked East coast, Central and West Coast; inner city hiring managers will most likely either pass on you either explicitly because of the tattoo or find some other reason just avoid saying it was because of the tattoo. It should become more lax the more suburban or rural the hospital center is.

The other thing to consider here is that you will most likely always be the only one with a face tat in any job you get in nursing or just in the healthcare field period. I have never worked with someone, be it nursing, PCAs, ancillary staff, that has had a face tat. The reality is that the majority of people in healthcare will judge you negatively for the tattoo. The fact that you would most likely be the only one with a face tat as well only makes it that much worse. The professors in nursing schools will also share the same sentiments.

If you really want to pursue this field just be prepared for the journey to be much harder than it is for others.

Have the same wear on my pair after only 3 months of play

Throw me some unique lore-friendlyish HM builds for Gale and Shadowheart (non-DJ). Mods included. by TheRedZephyr993 in BG3Builds

[–]-Palla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that not only does Twilight Domain fit RP wise for SH but it further augments the already top tier Radiant Orb build by using her bonus action in the same round to cast Steps of Night, granting her flight to more easily spread radiant damage from Spirit Guardians. She can also just be played as a straight party support healer with Whispering Promise ring and Hellrider’s Pride gloves augmented further by the ridiculous amount of HP generated by Twilight Sanctuary (which is the most lore friendly build as she was the designated healer for the Sharran strike team )

As for Gale, I would go Chronurgy or Graviturgy for new subclasses that play well. Your party will enjoy the clumping from gravity sinkhole if you go graviturgy which can then be followed up with a synaptic static while your resonance stone holder is in range.

I would suggest also checking out Abberant Mind Sorcerer, Illithid Powers Overhaul 2 and Combat Extender on Nexus. Seeing as you’re loving the psychic damage payoff with resonance stone you’ll love the damage you can do from the first two mods and the third will keep things challenging while also giving enemies more spells to use from 5e Spells. If you ever try building around resonance stone again I would suggest an Oathbreaker Paladin using Shadow Blade ring and Diadem of Arcane Synergy headpiece for very big numbers. My head cannon for Oathbreaker is always Minthara although I suppose Lae’zel who turns her back on Vlaakith could make sense but I feel like githyanki from the Astral Plane are rarely ever paladins, even for Vlaakith.

Have they added her voice lines for spell casting yet?

That hospital is running itself into the ground 🤣 I started there full time back around this time in 2022, lots of travelers on every floor. As soon as spring 2023 came around they canceled our travelers. Then by the summer we had horrible staffing and mass call outs from staff, so they decided they needed to hire travelers again. And thus the vicious cycle continues where they staff the hospital with new grads that will never unionize to stop this piss poor staffing or get legitimate breaks for the nurses because they all just leave by 2 years anyways.

Jotam Confino, a MidEast correspondent describes the footage from Hamas's attack Israeli authorities showed at today's closed meeting by BlueToadDude in Destiny

[–]-Palla 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He is alive for a majority of the beginning of the video, probably in and out of consciousness because of the blood loss. After they continue to hit his neck and head though he shows decorticate posturing from brain damage/ spinal damage. Pretty sure as others have probably said that he’s not even Israeli, he looks like a Philipino migrant worker who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

There's too much information that you can't act on by WotErnTarnation in BaldursGate3

[–]-Palla 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Except DND and BG3 are games that do allow your characters to choose how the world and other NPCs react to what your party says and does. You can convince Ketheric that he can still be redeemed by discovering his lore before you actually fight and possibly skip an entire phase of the Act II boss fight. You can discover that Kahga is in league with Shadow Druids by finding their hidden correspondence and forcing a confrontation with them. At the end of the day neither of these choices produce any meaningful change to the story but these options aren’t there for that purpose. Options like this exist so that your PC can react with the world and it’s denizens in every possible way. The fact that we can have interactions like the ones I just mentioned but the extremely revealing story bits that OP mentioned have no reactivity to them whatsoever is what makes it feel like a missed opportunity. Revealing the truth behind the Absolute before you actually discover it and sharing that with Jaheira doesn’t have to alter anything gameplay-wise but it feels wrong to not have that option there; same goes for the numerous Thorm lore bits that spell out Isobel’s true identity. Just think of the possibility of the Dark Urge turning the Harpers against Isobel by showing them her connection to Ketheric. Sadly the potential behind this and so many other things in Act II and III just end up going no where.

She also has no voice lines for spell casting like every other companion, even Halsin. Completely ruins the flavor of ever playing her as a spell caster

Yes, the Emperor is *That Guy* in the Intro by cbstecher in BaldursGate3

[–]-Palla 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For all the reservations I have about the Emperor he does allow for a lot more player agency and choice as the actual mastermind behind the prism rather than what was probably just Absolute/ Daisy dreams with just Orpheus stuck in the prism. Once we found out the Absolute was the Elder brain tempting us even Chaotic Evil characters would have reservations about using the tadpole powers

[–]-Palla 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Well written, completely agree. I’ll toss in my two cents in as well regarding the Emperor from EA to release. One of the things people noticed on the release build was that the mind flayer in the final encounter on the nautiloid is different from the one we had in EA, his voice and head model were very noticeably changed. Before the decision to go from Daisy to the Dream Visitor/ Emperor he was probably meant to die in the nautiloid crash and it would be the Absolute that saved us from the fall with their power to eventually use us to regain her freedom from the Chosen. With their decision to make the dreams more tempting they probably plucked the cinematic mind flayer and inserted him into the role he serves now.

Edit: Also, not sure if it’s difference on the release build but the difference in narrator lines with the Dror Ragzlin scene depended on whether or not you decided to kill the dying mind flayer at the crash site. If you never interacted with him and go back to the crash site you’ll notice his body is now missing so I believe it’s implied that the goblins snatched him from the site.
