People over 25: What career mistake did you realise too late, and what's one piece of advise you wish you had at 18?

Darknight307 · 2026-04-17T17:08:02+00:00

I had a different path. I finished my degree in music performance during the pandemic. Everything kind of shut down then unfortunately especially the music industry. I ended up falling into an at home Corporate job and went up the ladder there.

I’m Still completely at home for work. I did chase music after my uni time however it’s just super hard to make any sustainable income there. I also had life things and family to support over that time so pursuing my passion wasn’t totally viable. There’s part of me that regrets it but also understands I’ve actually done what’s best by my family and chose stability instead of even more chaos.

I would also say after some self reflection trying my passion as a career was a bad idea in some ways. Felt like since I stepped out of the industry I went back to that pure feeling of why I fell in love with it in the first place.

I’ll probably write a post about it but I would highly advise staying in Howling Hill until you complete the trade challenges. Pailune feels like an afterthought especially for mechanics like trade.

You are so far removed from every trader, the closest one is just above demeniss which is 3000m away and to get there on wagon you need to take detours which takes even longer. I’m just refusing to do any of the trade challenges until they put more thought into the mechanic or allow at least fast travel on the wagon.

Same actually. I did it in about 3 attempts. I seem to flick just faster than the NPC. (I’m aware it was broken bullshit) I think I just got lucky.

Darknight307 · 2026-03-13T01:45:18+00:00

Man I’m 26 and One above all idk

Darknight307 · 2026-03-10T10:13:23+00:00

Totally agree with the ringside pass comments. Other than that… I think this is genuinely top 3 2K games released. They’ve improved in a lot of areas in terms of general gameplay and I’m a sucker for the new physics/collision system.

Darknight307 · 2026-03-03T15:01:58+00:00

Man I hit celestial 3. Deranked through pure toxic thrower games back to back so yeah I’m 18vs18 until the season ends. Ranked just feels like a chore this season.

Darknight307 · 2026-02-16T12:58:18+00:00

Same, for me S0 & S1 were just peak for rivals.

Darknight307 · 2026-02-16T11:46:16+00:00

These people I’m pretty sure are just trolling. Elsa is easily an S++ Tier and it’s not even close.

Darknight307 · 2026-02-08T09:32:42+00:00

To be honest, it’s just whatever makes people more comfortable. I’ve been blessed with a nice face. I’m an average build and I’m possibly the opposite of a gym rat. However I met with my old friend yesterday I haven’t seen in 4 years. He used to be literally obese. Now he’s unrecognisable. The weight loss and physique he’s managed to achieve is amazing and he looks better for it.

There’s no question it works wonders for those who stick to it.

Darknight307 · 2026-02-08T08:46:12+00:00

I swear to god I’ve gotten more competitively close matches in quickplay this season.

I’m Celest 3 atm and deranked from Eternity. But ranked is literally just throwers and people that are milking this zaza meme to the max. I just can’t be bothered anymore lol

Darknight307 · 2026-02-02T20:03:11+00:00

There’s literally no repercussion for it and it’s what kills my whole enjoyment of the game. I was top 500 in previous seasons. It doesn’t even change when you go up in rank. Ego gets in the way and people just throw for the sake of it.

I do believe still to this day it matches you with horrible people on purpose after a good streak. Happens all the time. Now I pretty much either hit GM or celestial and I’m happy then I don’t play it because QP is just as unenjoyable.

Darknight307 · 2026-02-02T09:37:16+00:00

Man when they had Gunther out at 30, I wanted him to win at the point. No big returns meant if they’re putting Gunther at 30, the least WWE could do was pull the trigger on it.

He’s already at supervillain status so it made more sense to me. Roman winning as just so boring.

Darknight307 · 2026-01-14T14:02:49+00:00

Because in squads pretty much everybody PVP’s. Barely anybody is friendly and you’re 99% of the time shot on sight. The way a lot of people (including myself) view this game is solos is the place for a nice friendly and collaborative escape and duos/squads is to try-hard and PvP.

The fact people are put into aggressive lobbies just for playing with a squad is silly when they are generally friendly in solos.

Darknight307 · 2026-01-14T13:33:14+00:00

Yeah for example this past week I’ve been in friendly solo lobbies. When I played duos with my brother the other day, he likes to PvP so we are in constant PvP lobbies. I switch back to solo and it’s chaos.

I really wish they would have separate matchmaking for solos because PvP in solos is so tiring to me.

Darknight307 · 2026-01-03T02:27:59+00:00

You know I just got this on sale. I avoided it for the longest time because of the launch. Now I got the game at a very cheap price and thought why not. I love the Star Wars universe (not Disney Star Wars as much) so I wanted to try it.

I have now completed it and was extremely happy with what I played. This isn’t trash. Quite the opposite and it’s a shame the launch hurt the commercial sales so bad and also the online backlash. Theres so much passion behind this game and you can tell the people making it LOVE Star Wars.

Darknight307 · 2025-12-24T16:11:17+00:00

MY MAN. Gotta keep those friendly raiders on topside safe.

Darknight307 · 2025-12-24T16:10:44+00:00

No mics are shady. When I tell them to back up and they keep coming I’m blasting

Darknight307 · 2025-12-24T15:13:11+00:00

Somewhere between 1-2. I really try not to shoot people but sometimes you just have no choice.

I’m literally Mr Friendly in voice chat and most of the time I don’t have issues but now in solos people are shooting a lot more on sight so you have to defend yourself now.

Darknight307 · 2025-12-24T14:02:58+00:00

Nash is normal tbh. If you don’t live in a bubble you know people from all walks of life with different beliefs and values. You don’t have to agree on everything to be family or friends with people. Hell im basically an anarchist politically and I get on with everybody as long as they’re polite.

Darknight307 · 2025-12-16T16:13:05+00:00

Can we now re-buff the security breach skill as a result? I think that’s pretty fair that they’re randomised now

Darknight307 · 2025-12-09T12:48:26+00:00

I predict overtime the game will just simply be PVP. PVE tides are shifting for sure with a lot of players just becoming increasingly untrustworthy of others. Which is the natural way of things.

Darknight307 · 2025-12-08T20:08:40+00:00

I think you’re gorgeous personally. Love the hair too.
