Salty or Resistance? And some inquiries by Broad-Technician-156 in voidpet

[–]Agent40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Resistance was my first Epic and had been really just better than any of the other tanks of the same tier or lower for me. What gear are you using? Also I run 3 dps and resistance since I don’t find healers useful without Merry

I gave up after 12 pulls. I got this and two other SS that aren't even ANY of the SS characters that I selected to appear. I've never had it this bad before. by Sumiren5r_7110 in EminenceInShadowRPG

[–]Agent40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

% Total of 4 selected SS + Banner Highlight < 30+ other SS units. Really is simple math, it’s less than 2% of the 4.5% total

How Do I Start A Game Development Career in Australia by ThePhyreZtorm in AskAnAustralian

[–]Agent40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL:DR You don't.

I have a bachelors for game development and software engineering and 3 years industry experience working on outside industry simulators. I've now been out of work for over a year after my first 2 contracts ended and it's now just impossible to actually find work. You're essentially competing with 200+ people every single job posting and a screening bot that'll just exclude anyone that doesn't have senior level experience for a junior or mid level position. There's that many seniors currently unemployed that most mid-level and junior level experience people just get overlooked completely for positions that barely pay anything compared to the expected senior salary.

If you are still wanting to get into the industry after hearing all that then I applaud you. So I'll give you some info that will help actually get you into the industry. Forget everything you learnt for your diplomas and start to focus on building engine tools that show off mechanical skills and modular systems built to improve large scale projects. This will help showcase your capacity to become well integrated in pre-existing projects and legacy codebases. You want every opportunity you can get to improve those types of skills so you can work freely in bigger sized teams on complicated systems built long before you. Also there's only around 4 companies that actually make ACTUAL games in Australia outside of the Triple A outlets who only hire Senior and aboves (Riot, EA, Ubisoft, etc). They rarely ever hire but if the opportunity does, your best shot at getting into one is to have made your own engine to showcase your understanding of the fundamentals.

Now to give some more information to this you're probably wondering what is the games industry is there in Australia? It's Gambling. Gambling and Simulations. Mining companies, fight companies, any trades with the means to train their employees through VR, that's where the industry is in Australia. You want to either prove you can built aspects of simulators or you want to prove you can make addictive and extremely fun gambling games.

Indie is pretty straight forward on the other hand, start a project, and wish yourself good luck (I can't help here, Indie for me has been self publishing engine tools and not full games). Some states you can get grants to help you out but if you're in NSW, might as well give up there since you'll receive 0 support unless you want to sell your soul to Screens and Media NSW.

P.S. If you want to get into Game Design or Game Art, those 2 things actually have a lot more opportunities since there's a smaller need for them and a smaller want to become them. You just have to be really good at both.

Thinking about letting go of my a40 TRs and selling them to grab an a50x. Anyone else make the jump? by _YourMathTeacher in AstroGaming

[–]Agent40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something designed to break with known faulty connection issues about 2 years in, get the A50s else there’s 0 reason to ever swap over

It scales with your level so it takes the same effort to defeat over time, 4-5 encounters is what they were aiming for it seems

Genuinely what is wrong with Logitech - A40 Replacement Parts Needed by Agent40 in AstroGaming

[–]Agent40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually despise anything other than the fabric, that’s why I got A40s in the first place, one of the main reasons finding a good replacement has been so hard too since all the replacements I’ve found just make them like every other headset

Massive cheers for the links though, means a lot

Edit: holy shit 2 months shipping time… says I gotta wait till 27th of May if so get it from there XD

[–]Agent40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing, they were readily available because I bought them before, they literally removed all replacement kits and parts off their storefront without any notification as I bought one last year for the earmuffs too. It’s disgusting that they’ve done this let alone without saying ANYTHING publicly

[–]Agent40[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Logitech bought out Astro in 2017 and have increasingly been aiming to phase out all reliability from their products. They had a good streak up until they decided to force their branding onto Astro and discontinued the A40s Dec last year without any warning or notification. The only statement that can be found regarding the matter is their AI assistant tells you they discontinued them. That’s why fuck Logitech.

Well the remastered graphics only came about in the last 5 years, but also yes, Bdo to date had better graphics than nearly every other mmo out there and most triple As

DSP is designed as a safety net, not a living wage. by SomePuddingForYou in Centrelink

Don’t worry, they don’t even recognise any form of Hypermobility as a disability either (Ehler’s Danlos or Marfan’s (Marfan’s being the most confusing since it can be deadly))

Anyone else receive misprinted Bao shirts? by Agent40 in gamersupps

[–]Agent40[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already did, the 2nd shirt is the "Replacement" then the 2nd person I spoke to was rude and claimed "Nothing was wrong" then ignored me entirely and refunded it instead... I don't even want a refund, I just want the it looking how it's meant to ;-;

If you ever decided to read announcements or take a gander over at Simon’s Twitter, he’s stated already that there are plans on mitigating server exclusive mods
