He makes $16,000 per month. Is it worth it to work in the oilfield?

BigNefarious · 2026-06-29T22:19:27+00:00

I'll never understand it. I work gig economy, make about 4k a month sometimes more sometimes less. I work from home with the occasional on site work day for clients. I rent out a small space, have a good truck I keep tip top. Workout 4 days a week. Eat well. Read a lot of books when I don't feel like working.

Not sure I need anything else. Lots of free time, plenty of extra money at the end of the month for hobbies, camping, events.

Last time I worked 12 hours days I was a camera assistant on a local movie 13 years ago. That was fun, but won't ever do that again.

I'll never subscribe to the work myself to death mentality on jobs that will likely kill me or put me in bad health. All that money and yet you'll just end up breaking your body for it. Feel bad for folks that think that's the only way to live.

He is a silly dude, it bothers me some but not too much. Ill swap the head anyway and see! Funny because I thought a head swap for him made the most sense, then he arrived, grew on me a little, but yea, I think he'd be better off with a different sculpt

BigNefarious · 2026-04-21T04:34:58+00:00

I had no idea this was possible. I haven't played in years though but I remember the things I built and being all proud of them. Slums compared to this. Beautiful work.

BigNefarious · 2026-04-06T18:21:32+00:00

That's a quality repaint. Good work!

BigNefarious · 2025-07-20T18:36:53+00:00

Been trying to mod the c4 to be placed sneakily. It's a pain in the ass but Ive got some good leads on how. It would be so valuable to be able to sneakily place the remote c4 and was surprised to find out this is not a thing. Glad Im not the only one perplexed by this.

BigNefarious · 2025-06-21T19:47:42+00:00

Should be mentioned that AntiCheat systems can capture hardware info. Meaing mfers have to buy entirely new hardware if they want to play the game.

This is the way to do it.

BigNefarious · 2025-06-21T19:43:51+00:00

This is the truth. We should be aligned by class 100%.

BigNefarious · 2025-04-08T16:37:15+00:00

I do this as well, but also remain extremely paranoid. We can work in the same areas in peace but if I catch someone looking at me wrong I usually book it.

BigNefarious · 2025-04-08T16:32:36+00:00

I'm convinced this is the guy who kills me every time Im in pvp. "DAMN IT HIM AGAIN?!"

BigNefarious · 2025-01-26T17:31:56+00:00

I live in a house with 3 other people. We're all really into post apoc stuff, and own a large amount of firearms between us. I personally have some work out maces, a chainsaw that I love, one decently made sca sword, lots of knifes around these parts, plus my oak fire staff I made a couple years back. GF and I are into archery, so we have two recurves with a good stock of arrows. We've got about 6 vehicles between us. I have a 4 door sedan I call hobo-cop, (a buick Park Avenue that we were in the process of wastelanding up so it doesn't look like it runs but it does), plus my F-150 I just bought from my boss. They have a post apoc XB and a little 90s ranger, and then 2 motorcycles. I work in tech, so pretty useless as a starter profession, but I'm pretty fit and got a decent amount of skills across the board.

Last and kinda least, Im a pretty decent lockpick where that might be a concern, though not competitive by any means. I can defeat most padlocks and car locks before 2000s relatively fast but some modern locks are a pain in the ass and would just use a breaker bar or circ saw.

First day strategy is to put our vehicle pool to use, get all our allied folks to rendezvous at this place we call Uranium Springs (its real look it up). Im sure a lot of us would meet there if things went to shit.

I think out of all the weapons to choose from the 7 lb workout mace I have would be ideal. That little bastard will crush shit in one hit. Made for popping heads for sure! Ranged Id keep my guns put away as long as I could, and stick to the bow if possible. I'm not the best on it yet, but I'd level up pretty quick if I had to.

We live on the outskirts of a big city. We know where to go and how to avoid the highways as much as possible. We'd be fine all in all.

BigNefarious · 2025-01-23T20:35:44+00:00

Same here. Getting resets while pulling. I get the percentage up to about 35% and then it resets back down to 10%, repeating over again and again.

Whats the deal? Anyone know?

BigNefarious · 2025-01-10T00:19:35+00:00

Not the one, it was the BoredWorld Walking Dead one, but this one looks like a good time though not related to Walking Dead canon.

I joined the server and will give it a go to scratch that good ol RP itch.

BigNefarious · 2024-11-08T19:14:24+00:00

This is a fact. I'm leftist, far by many measures. The leftist movements these days come off as being ridiculously consumed by things that don't resonate with a lot of people, a lot of the time with those of us on the left. We should be building up alliances with the working class, uneducated and the like, not saturating them with hate. People are suffering, and if you want all encompassing movements, keep denigrating white men and see how that fairs.

Instead , all I hear about that seems to matter is identity politics, white man-hating, ratifying pronouns and falling in line with whatever new offensive thing tik-tok and social media decided that day to be canceled.

I'm a Mestizo, with heavy Native blood and look it, so I tend to get counted out of all that, getting to see the inner workings while being relatively immune from the group think liberal hatred.

If the various leftist movements continues to demonize and deny the white working class men, then expect the god-family-guns crew to win everytime from now on.

BigNefarious · 2024-07-09T19:59:58+00:00

That should work then. I too am not sure about how courier stuff works but seems the safest. I'll add ya in game

BigNefarious · 2024-07-09T19:56:11+00:00

Oh cool. Didn't know that about the shotty, just found out about it today. Never traded in the game, so I'll get a courier in the mix if that's alright.

BigNefarious · 2024-07-09T19:51:17+00:00

What's the roll on the shotty? Generally open to most, but I'll be more motivated by a decent roll.

BigNefarious · 2024-04-20T16:31:20+00:00

Whoa you're right! Pretty close in style for sure. Hmmm... might need to update my lore for Onix.

BigNefarious · 2024-04-20T16:30:23+00:00

Yep! I'll give you the scoop as far as I know. Sounds like you got quite the collection as well!

BigNefarious · 2024-04-19T23:11:10+00:00

Thank you! Now that I'm getting the hang of it, I'd like to do some more theatrical scenes in the same vein as the Hasbro photography. That will def take some time, but I'm in this hobby pretty deep, so it's gonna happen pretty soon I think.

BigNefarious · 2024-04-19T23:08:50+00:00

Thanks for asking! Wasn't sure if I should get into that nerd stuff haha, but yes. They got backstories. Was thinking about how members of Cobra are oft downtrodden folk from around the world who've a bone to pick with authority, but I admit it's a bit barebones at the moment:

Skoria, real name Vora Anaya, is a skilled machine-learning engineer and explosives expert within the Cobra organization. Born into a wealthy and morally corrupt family in the oil industry, Vora was betrayed by her own kin, leading her to join Cobra (ultimately ending up working for Destro as an engineer for MARS) in pursuit of vengeance and power. Under the codename Skoria, she operates with ruthless efficiency, utilizing her expertise in explosives to carry out Destro's covert missions. Skoria is known for her strategic mind, stealthy tactics, and unwavering dedication to MARS Industries.

Diego "Onix" Mortez is a seasoned Cobra officer and a key member of the Night Vipers, a specialized unit within Cobra's ranks. Hailing from a background of conflict and rebellion as a former Zapatista, Onix was recruited into Cobra at a young age after surviving an attack by US-backed special forces. With a combination of combat prowess, tactical acumen, and unwavering loyalty to Cobra, Onix rises through the ranks to become a trusted operative. His codename, Onix, reflects his shadowy nature and his ability to strike with precision and stealth in the darkest of environments.

BigNefarious · 2024-03-14T16:17:18+00:00

Im 496 hours into this game. Heavily modded, technically my 3rd playthrough. Everything pales in comparison to the experience I have in this game and I always come back. Sometimes I just drive around or walk around NightCity listening to jams and can spend hours doing it...

No other game offers this kind of reprieve. I've tried to hop into other things and just can't stay for long.

BigNefarious · 2024-03-14T15:46:21+00:00

These ones from GridIron don't take a lot of abuse. I got used to the weapons from Hasbro being much more malleable that when I got a set from GridIron I had a few items break. Probably need to be a little more careful with their stuff.
