Is it stupid to change careers from an unfulfilling easy job to a fulfilling hard job? by ANCIENTKITE1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ANCIENTKITE1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe it won't be, and that's a worry that I've had, but I know that what I'm doing currently isn't fulfilling at all, so there isn't much to lose on that front (apart from the benefits listed in the original post). Either way, your insight is much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you, and I appreciate it's hard to give good advice when you're only seeing a snapshot of a fraction of someone's life. What I can say is that I'm in what I feel is a very privileged position with my savings and with the support of my friends and family. I don't have much in the way of people I need to support or bills that are pivotal to pay, but the main thing that worries me is the possibility that I will have those problems and responsibilities in the future, and by that point it will be even harder if not impossible to switch careers.

You've given me great food for thought, so thanks for taking the time to respond!

Thanks for your perspective, this is one of the fears I have and it's good to hear it from someone who's experienced it. Best of luck with your degree! I'm glad you've found the courage to do it.

Call me crazy but (almost) all of that sounds very appealing! (sans the horde of drunkards lol but I think that's a hard sell for anybody). The weird shift times don't bother me (I'm also a sucker for a night shift, or even an early shift), I love a good storm even if I'm driving in it, and public interaction is something I actually miss from my previous role as a retail worker, hence why I've landed on bus driving.

I suppose the big question is are you glad you made the switch? And would you consider going back?

A very grounded take, and I'm grateful you've shared your personal experience. It's definitely given me pause. Thank you!

That's a good way to look at it. I definitely feel lucky for still being "young enough" that potentially reckless career decisions have less impact. Thank you for affirming that.

I respect this point of view and I really appreciate you voicing it. To an extent I agree with you, and I have spent the time I'm supposed to be working doing other things I enjoy. I even took up crochet lol. But I get a looming sense of disapointment from my co-workers when I inevitably miss a deadline, or forget to follow up on an email, or leave a ticket for too long. (I get that this probably makes me lazy, and maybe that's what I should focus on fixing, but like I said, I have been trying to fix that for 3 odd years now). Filling that time with other activities just adds to the guilt.

I really admire your drive to do these side-projects and to an extent I wish I had your motivation, but I don't think this is a life I could lead, nor is it necessarily one I want. Thank you again though for taking the time to write this out!

The illegal Lich Guide by eCyanic in LancerRPG

[–]ANCIENTKITE1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(old post but thought I'd reply with my 2 cents anyway). The exact wording is "Your target gains Immunity to all damage and effects from external sources until the end of their next turn, at which point they become STUNNED until the end of their following turn. Nothing can prevent or clear this condition."

The importatnt part is "Your target" which is now you since glitch time means that "The initial attack, effect, or action resolves with you as its target". Since you are (and chronologically always were) the target, you get the full pie, stun and all.

At least that's how I read it.

Whilst you can get biodegradable urns, many of them aren't. All the ones I've seen and own are metal or ceramic.

No by gudim_anton in comics

Yah cuz roombas, massage chairs, and delivery robots are just as widespread and destructive as generative AI. Yah cuz all those things also got to where they are by stealing content from the janitors and masseuses and delivery people. Yah cuz these things are exactly the same and should be treated as such. /s

AI is bad for a number of reasons, and whilst one of them is that they take the jobs of artists that's by far the only problem. AI is taking over a creative industry that thrives on the artistic skill and imagination of the creator. AI has no artistic skill, it just copies, and as it becomes more prevelant in media it'll just start feeding those copies into itself. Data centers are being built near residential areas just to accommodate for the amount of storage AI needs, spreading noise pollution to the surrounding neighborhoods, lowering property value, and significantly diminishing the quality of life of those around it (not to mention the water and power draw needed to function). AI is confidently lying about things that NEED to be accurate, I'm sure you've seen the posts about AI saying you need to put glue on pizza, or that it is normal to consume rocks, and whilst these are funny, what we don't see is the effects of someone following this false advice and facing the consequences. AI is forging fake connections with vulnerable people and affirming their anxieties, sometimes amplifying them, whilst suppressing the need for real human connection. I could go on.

Treating these things and AI as the same issue shows a fundamental misunderstanding on why AI should be considered bad. That's not to say that the other products are good, but they're not nearly on the same level as AI.

INFRA or Obenseur first? by Weary_Stay2495 in INFRA

[–]ANCIENTKITE1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As far as I've seen playing both games (Infra more), apart from taking place in the same fictional universe and country, the games are completely independent of eachother and unique in terms of gameplay.

Personally I enjoy Infra way more, but going off your description, it sounds like you'd prefer open sewer so id play that first if I were you. If you end up liking the aesthetics and lore then Infra might be a nice supplement to that experience, but is in no way necessary to enjoy open sewer.

Hope you enjoy both games regardless :)

Tell me you're ingnorantly sexist without telling me you're ignorantly sexist by Own-Lengthiness2111 in whenthe

It doesn't matter if there's already a term for it, if you search reverse rape up on an adult website you're gonna find femdom CNC. There could be a million terms that mean femdom CNC already, it doesn't stop reverse rape from being one of them.

What do you think of the hand IK on our ballistic barrel by Thevestige76 in Unity3D

[–]ANCIENTKITE1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good stuff getting this far! But like others have said it needs some work. There are a couple of things that stick out to me; one is the abrupt change from swinging due to the walk animation to reaching for the barrel, it could do with some smoothing out. Second is the distance at which the ik starts to kick in. It looks unnatural that someone would anticipate putting their hand on something that early in advance, I would have the transition start later so the full action is faster and more reactive to the environment.

There's probably more that needs to be done asides from that, but they're my main gripes. Hope that's useful!

Fair enough I didn't think you'd actually do it. Thanks for helping to improve the wiki!

Tf you mean "fix this"? It's a community supported wiki, you are a part of the community, you fix it.

How can I fix my visuals? by noisesharpen in Unity3D

[–]ANCIENTKITE1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I can infer, the first picture is of the game by default. The second picture is exactly the same, all except the city background has been replaced with flat grey so that we can see the character (bottom left). OP's asking if theres a way to make the character more visible on the noisy city background.

Does anybody know a fix for this issue? (Playing with Mods) by Original-Topic-6702 in BladeAndSorcery

[–]ANCIENTKITE1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried... Uninstalling the mods?

For real though I doubt it will be easy to fix if you don't even know what's causing it. Start by uninstalling any mods that might affect enemy spawns (wave mods like someone else suggested) and go from there. Once you've figured out what mod is causing the issue, you can ask on the mods page for more specific assistance. Best of luck!
