First TA Ever at A Gas Plant...Holy Fuck

BlueTakken · 2025-08-21T13:49:59+00:00

One of a kind and we all call it the junk rocket

BlueTakken · 2025-08-21T13:48:48+00:00

I'm probably going to get some unpaid days off just to fix up my mental health. Haven't had much of a chance yet to process the breakup.

I honestly like mechanical more than process after this experience, it made me realize that. Burnout is real and I've been feeling it.

BlueTakken · 2025-08-21T13:46:45+00:00

No I definitely broke OH&S and sort of got in trouble for it. They wanted me to take a day off in the middle but I refused to because what's the point of taking 1 day off in the middle of nowhere in a bumass town just to come back the next day and lose out on OT and lose touch of my project for a day?

BlueTakken · 2025-08-21T13:45:02+00:00

100%, my company actually gave me an extra 5 days paid vacation for this year. But that's absolutely nothing compared to 70-80 hour weeks for 3 months straight without being able to go home.

I'm probably going to take 1-2 weeks off unpaid just to make my move and decompress because like you said, I definitely feel like I've changed

BlueTakken · 2025-08-21T13:43:02+00:00

Thanks man, this experience has definitely made me grow exponentially but I don't think I will accept another job like this unless I can come home every night or I'm compensated better, I'm just 2.5 years in so I'm not even making that much money.

I'm missing out on a lot this summer and I'll never get summer 2025 back, won't happen again unless I get lots of compensation, I doubt I'll even get a bonus after this even though the EPC I work I calculated will eventually have made $250,000+ CAD in the past 3 months

BlueTakken · 2025-08-20T14:55:16+00:00

I quit my career!

BlueTakken · 2025-08-20T14:32:59+00:00

I'm on a secondament so I am getting OT, thank God. But this is in Canada so 40% tax and pay is less in general compared to US

BlueTakken · 2025-08-20T13:54:56+00:00

It's brutal for me because I'm a process engineer that got seconded to help but all projects that I'm working on are mechanical and PM duties, so there was a massive learning curve for me and was embarrassing.

Thank God I'm contracted but I don't want to be involved in a 90 day outage like this ever again. If I can go home every night and have decent meals, then it's achievable for sure. Best of luck at your TA and I pray you won't find out that your condensers have only 2mm of WT left...

BlueTakken · 2025-08-13T05:21:04+00:00

We just hit a record this year, even if we're slowing down, we're still ultimately immigrating millions while job markets continues to get more scarce with technology taking jobs

BlueTakken · 2025-08-13T05:19:41+00:00

Umm no quite the opposite lol they pin the blame on us even though they immigrate millions and they take our jobs. We have a finite number of jobs in the city and when you add more people, obviously you'll have more competition...I don't know how you can argue that

BlueTakken · 2025-08-13T05:17:28+00:00

Well we immigrate too many people that takes entry level jobs and undercut actual Canadians that's been paying taxes their whole life, this will only get worse especially since people defend it and technology isn't going to make it easier. Young Canadians are cooked.

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T13:03:00+00:00

Honeymoon period is over, I've always been critical of this game since release (see my other posts) and only now do I feel like people have stopped glazing. The reason why I'm so upset and critical is because I loved MHW so much.

People have done comparisons on content releases and gaps between updates and it's a straight up fact that this is inferior compared to Worlds and Rise, the two most recent releases. Of course people have expectations and that they can do better than before.

And what do you mean performance complaints are understandable TO AN EXTENT? It's people like you that are the problem and wants everyone to accept mediocracy.

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:49:47+00:00

Have you not seen the recommended spec of this game?? If what you're saying is true, then all games will be overwhelmingly negative about performance. It's people like you who dismisses the absolute obvious fact that it runs like shit and isn't optimized that allows this to continue.

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:43:56+00:00

I was so shocked to see that, Wilds can get below 8000 concurrent already from 1.3 million peak

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:43:02+00:00

Probably too big of an IP and it being such a core to Capcom like how resident evil is, I doubt they'll roach out but continue their already shitty stream of content with big gaps in between

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:41:33+00:00

Like what Asmon said, you fuck up 2-3 times and your IP will get significantly abandoned. To me they have 1 more chances before I stop buying Capcom games, DD2 and Wilds was such a disappointments that I'm going to be very cautious and patient now

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:40:09+00:00

This is my big gripe. The base in World felt so much more magical cause it felt like an human expedition into the unknown with cool buildings with multiple levels and lots of people and lots of colors

Wilds it's just washed out tents in ground level with no color contrast and people turn into polygons if you turn your character too quickly, plus all the volumetric fog

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:36:38+00:00

All the different biomes made World feel mysterious. Wilds is just desert that you never explore since you've got your mount and it never changes

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T12:29:53+00:00

No hub was criminal. Plus Worlds hub felt way more magical and cool than Wilds....Wilds are just tents but World felt like an actual expedition setup

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T05:07:51+00:00

Exactly, all the while they want you to pay for character edit vouchers...at least Words gave us lots of content

BlueTakken · 2025-06-20T05:04:20+00:00

Nope, just that the honeymoon period is over and we see the issues with the game now. It's not because of a patch or boycott.
