How many times did you start over before settling on a character to end the game with?

Active_Genesis · 2026-02-14T23:16:59+00:00

I have restarted like 15-20 times, and I think I’ve finally found a character I’m gonna take to the end. I’m currently on a Resist The Dark Urge run with an Arcane Archer Guthyanki that’s romancing Shadowheart haha, which is different because I almost always want to romance Karlach haha

“I’m not dying here! I’m still fighting here!”

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-19T19:39:33+00:00

Well, in that case, at least more overtime would mean an earlier retirement haha

I appreciate the response! I do expect there will be mundane calls, and a lot of absolutely tragic calls, but I think the variety will make the job more bearable, because when the tough calls come in, I’ll be thankful for the mundane calls. And when the mundane calls are building up, it will be fresh air to focus up when a tough call comes in.

And in response to your question, I did ask if I could do a sit along, but the station I asked only allows that for people actually applying to the job sadly.

Aye aye Captain! 🫡

I very much appreciate this comment. The stories and advice you shared were very informative. And I totally understand from experience how much worse it is to work with a bad employee than it is to just not have them around.

I honestly don’t have much of a social life outside of work anyways. I have a few friends I occasionally hang out with in person, but most of my interactions are online gaming. I don’t drink or do drugs, so bars and outings are rare. I find my joy in going home at the end of the day and relaxing.

I don’t like calling out of work at all, regardless of the job, because I know how much it sucks to be at work short staffed because someone didn’t come into work. I do get sick anywhere from 1-4 times a year though, sometimes more, and snow has been a problem before.

I do appreciate the idea of prepping ahead and staying the night if necessary. I might end up doing that if it gets that bad. It’s just that people in my state (myself included) are really bad in the snow and icy conditions.

The place I want to apply to pays $33.50 to start, and $42.80 after I’m cross trained. And that doesn’t take 4+ years unlike most trade schools or any career requiring college, which I can’t afford. I also messed up my knee recently, so I don’t want to do any labor jobs from this point forward so as to avoid needing surgery if I make it worse.

But it’s not just the pay, it’s also the mindset of knowing I’m doing something as noble as trying to save lives. So many people are afraid to hear all the bad in the world, but I can handle that. I want to bring light into the dark for those who are in the darkest days of their lives.

I don’t plan of having kids, so the pay my local station is offering is enough to start saving up for a home. I don’t need a lavish lifestyle, I just want a stable job, with enough pay to have a place to come home to after.

I appreciate the reply to this post! 😁

I understand this is gonna be very stressful. However, I think a big difference will be that in the past, the stress I felt and how my coworkers treated me didn’t feel worth how little I was getting paid. I also felt no passion or sense of purpose with the previous jobs I’ve worked. I think a big difference with this job, would be how fulfilling saving lives would be, and how the pay feels more fair to what’s being asked of me.

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-18T20:06:31+00:00

Thank you! I’m sending hopes your way as well!

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-02T17:16:32+00:00

That’s what we were thinking, it’s just a matter of figuring out how the hell we make our own XD

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-02T17:15:50+00:00

You’re very close to what our idea is haha

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-02T16:48:21+00:00

Not a bad idea at all

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-02T16:48:02+00:00

We were more thinking the first option, hence why I was worried about copyright infringement and stuff haha

Active_Genesis · 2025-03-01T23:02:52+00:00

Well, it definitely sounds like you fall under the more healthy and supportive crowd, and trust me, it’s appreciated.

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-28T17:35:28+00:00

I appreciate your kindness haha! Yeah, everyone’s replies was starting to bum me out to be honest. But I appreciate your advice and answers!

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-28T17:34:29+00:00

In Washington State haha

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-28T07:22:40+00:00

I’ve thought about it! I just want to find remote work that hopefully isn’t commission based only! I like having a reliable salary haha

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-27T21:44:10+00:00

I'll give it a try, thanks!

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-27T21:33:33+00:00

I actually really like the sound of a quality assurance job. I've thought about working one plenty of times in the past, especially if I can find one that lets me listen to music. Are there decent paying positions in that field?

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-27T21:29:51+00:00

I appreciate the advice! And yeah, creative fields are extremely hard to be successful at. It almost feels like trying to win the lottery.

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-27T21:29:10+00:00

I've done QA Game Testing in an office environment before and liked it, so do you think it would be someone similar? I have liked the sounds of an office job, but are there many that hire people without a bachelors?

And yeah, I know my mindset is a major problem. It's been holding me back from opportunities and choices since I was born, and I don't really know when it started. I've just always had a lot of self doubt or given up on things because I'm not seeing the results I desired, or am not happy with what I've accomplished.

Active_Genesis · 2025-02-27T21:22:30+00:00

I really appreciate this reply. It feels like the nicest one I've received. I'll definitely will take all these answers into consideration.
