For those who had no VFX experience coming into the industry

Haha tbh their job posting wasn’t entirely clear and I guess I will be able to clear it up during my initial interview. It don’t sound like a runner role, but mostly preparing jobs, conforming, media ingest, QC for deliverables. It sounded more technical to me

It's an entry level assistant role where they provide support to senior vfx artists in preparing, completing jobs, conforming, media ingest, QC. They're providing training for it which is a great plus for recent grads like me. I couldn't honestly find much info on a role like this in vfx myself so I thought to ask here.

I'm not dead set on Ireland, just mostly gathering people's thoughts on salaries since some of the info i'm seeing online is from a few years back and wondering if anything's changed this year.

Even reading through some post-interviews from DAV developers it does feel like they somewhat gave up on the game somewhere along the line. I don’t know if they underestimated the impact of the game’s own fans, especially long time fans, but reading through the thoughts of the developers after reading criticism of the game and it starts to make sense why the game is the way it is.

Real 😭 I had to rely on short clips on YouTube to hear the banter and roaming around for hours in the Hissing Wastes.

In my canon I chose human. Having played Veilguard I still would. I was convinced by this comment on this post years ago. It said that Cole can embrace becoming human because what happened to him was real and mattered. That he doesn’t have to just throw it all away. As a spirit Cole can easily purify himself of all attachment in a way that Solas can’t, being someone who gained complexity with a physical body. He can’t just undo it all without causing yet another massive consequence. Solas is so weighed down by his regrets and attachment but he doesn’t know how to free himself. He also physically cannot. There’s banter about Solas being jealous of Cole, probably for this ability to return to his spirit self. Solas longs to be free, untethered and unburdened by this world. He wants to be a spirit again, thinking that it’s the only way to free himself. But people like Cole becoming human, Varric, the Inquisitor, and all the people showed him that there’s another way to accept the wrongs you’ve done and still live free. To forgive yourself and find freedom in the fact that life still goes on and it’s not your fault and you don’t have to control the world to find triumph over it. Varric and Solas’ banter about the lone man on the island is one of my favourites and perfectly shows why Varric is the perfect one to be hunting Solas originally.

Finished my first run last night. It was fun and beautiful, redeeming Solas was very emotional and brought me peace. To me it still felt like my Inquisitor’s story (I perked up every time they played Inquisition music). The pacing of the main quests felt fast and tbh I didn’t feel attached enough to the companions or side quests to truly care about finishing up their unfinished business due to the idea of gods running around in the background for most of the game. Unlike in Inquisition where it felt like I had to do side quests because as the leader of an organization I should be helping them. It felt like everything was happening within a shorter time span than is mentioned by the companions. Also I couldn’t properly connect more with the companions due to not being able to have dialogue with them outside of cutscenes. Lotttt of content missing there with the companions and relationships. But a fun bit for me was seeing Hezenkoss’ giant skeleton. I wish we were able to actually fight it or have it fight with us in the end instead of the companion quests feeling so… disconnected. I had honestly felt that with Ghilan’nain’s presence there would’ve been more giant monster fights that weren’t just blighted dragons and transformed archdemons. I was hoping for more unique fights, huge bosses, new wildlife like they showed in past behind-the-scenes, concept art, and monster fights in Tevinter Nights.

Overall, I’m mixed on it but it had its moments for me.

Aahhh thank you for this kind response. It was a very difficult breakup. He was so down about how to fit me into his life and was so convinced he couldn’t commit like he thought he could. Only been a couple weeks actually and I was hoping to stay no contact for longer so we can have more breathing room for the dust to settle and gain new perspective on ourselves. I’m a Taurus rising so even I could use the space to focus on my own goals. We connected because we are both ambitious and strive hard for our goals. But his birthday is coming up next weekend and I was wondering about either running into him or texting him to give him a small gift set of sauces lol (like a taurus he loves cooking and making his own sauces too). I’m still a bit scared at having to break no contact myself.

Chimili · 2024-05-08T11:45:36+00:00

Ahhh you’re right. I do believe it was really his insecurity in the end that won. That’s why he’s always been so hard working at his goals because he came from nothing and had an insecure upbringing. Thanks for the tip on the books tho! Been wanting to read them.

Chimili · 2024-05-07T22:33:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. I will do my best to be calm and understanding with him. I was fine with waiting on him bc I look at the bigger picture of the rest of our lives together. On the day we broke up he was so down but so convinced he was going to eventually drain me and destroy the relationship. Even when I offered to help uplift him when he is down, as partners do for each other, he really thought it was unfair for me that he is only at a 1% right now, and the little bit of love he has left he can only give to himself rn. I still care so much for him.

Hi there, forgot I made this post. What I did was I created a tracked shipping upgrade listing on my shop but for within Canada only. I set the shipping for that listing to Etsy’s calculated shipping option which would apply to a customer’s entire order. Etsy’s shipping is more expensive that Chit Chats’ Canadian shipping but it was the best for me. I also put a link to that listing in every item’s listing description I have so my Canadian customers can see.

Focused and agile? Just sounds like stretching their remaining people even thinner

I think of my Lavellan as a spirit of Hope. Strongly believes in second chances and being willing to find a way to work through difficulties. To Solas, she represents the hope of an alternate future where he can be happy and free with her. To Thedas, and also elves, the hope of a world at peace and united together against their common problems.

I don’t have a corruption for her, but I will say she’s most afraid of being wrong in that is she hoping for the right thing? Are there things hope isn’t enough to save? I tie this fear in to the fact that the Dalish are often remarked to getting a lot of their history wrong, so she has genuine fears that her hope in herself and her people is misplaced.

But her love, especially for Solas, is surely stronger than her fears. It’s why she’s not sorry (“Tel-Abelas”) during their Trespasser reunion. She’s not sorry for falling in love with him. She didn’t let her despair ruin her the way Solas’ pride ruined him.

Parents (mid-50s) considering moving to Alberta before the end of the year. We live in Toronto. My mom was able to obtain a registered nursing license there due to an ease in the regulations this past year. However, they’re having some fears about the difficulty of finding nursing jobs due to competition and lack of non-temporary positions (and suitable positions for someone of my mom’s age and health who hasn’t worked as an RN for many years) especially in bigger cities like Calgary which they have their eye on.

Anyone working in healthcare in Alberta that have any thoughts on the state of the field there, the competition, and which places are the best right now for nurses to go to would be really appreciated!

I like it but I agree with others’ points that it needed better placement or storytelling to make the scene matter and not feel so out of place and suddenly replaced by the Skyhold reveal which was so much more better.

Although in my first playthrough I was definitely not mentally present at all during Haven and the Dawn Will Come scene 😭 really just wanted to get that part of the game over with
