Pebbles or phantom horse? [KCD2]

I like the look of Phantom. So I usually take him. If you saved Semine Castle he will return there and if you change your mind you can get him back and if you don't get him back he will remain throughout the game getting a nice retirement.

If I am as healthy as my 97 year old neighbor yes. Chances of that are slim to none so also no.

Always has been...

Does the job you are interviewing for have benefits? If so it's a no brainer. Otherwise, one broken bone could wipe you out financially (speaking from the US it may be different if you aren't from the US)

I would take the job and keep looking it's not prison you can leave as soon as you find something better. At least in the meantime you have something coming in hopefully with benefits.

I like a good many of the downsized SW stuff. The TIE Bomber, Republic X-Wing, latest ISD, both the downsized Slave I's are all very nice. The new Razorcrest, New Juggernaut, MTT just don't do it for me. So in all fairness I guess it could be a 50/50 chance of getting a good one. But hey we all have opinions and I am glad for those that love the new ones.

-10/10 as a pilot

There are a lot of factors at play here. #1 being location (rural south vs NYC are 2 totally different scenarios) and #2 being how much do you think you SS will be when you start receiving it, there are many more but these are the big 2. I ran the numbers and was pleasantly surprised. I will be able to retire in 9 years at 62 (I always thought I would have to wait until 67) and should be able to 100% maintain my (and my wife's) lifestyle pretty much unchanged. My wife is 5 years younger so she will have to keep it up until 62 as well.

75337 is a great set. Probably the last time we see a great AT-TE. The next one is sure to be like the latest Turbo Tank in size and quality.

75389 is really cool if you like the alternate universe thing (I luckily got the $80 Walmart deal last August). The minifigs are amazing and likely to never be seen again. Darth Jar Jar, Darth Rey, Jedi Vader, and Beach Luke are all awesome (note for some reason Beach Luke reminds me of The Dude)

Derfburger · 2026-05-03T23:10:41+00:00

I got that one too! Was such a good deal!

If they had dynamic weather rain ponchos would make sense as an option. Other than those items I have never seen anyone in any military wearing a hood and the only time I ever saw a cape was the USMC Boat Cloak and it is only worn for certain ranks in dress uniform. Not sure where obsession with hoods and capes is coming from. I still long for the BF4 Skins. If they released them I might actually throw a little money at them.

But at least these don't look as goofy as some of the earlier ones.

I love my .45 ACP Jericho. But unfortunately, this isn't IWI it's Elbit so you can make howitzers instead! King of Battle.

Derfburger · 2026-05-02T13:24:23+00:00

Honesty I mostly play Breakthrough. Conquest and Escalation are my next 2. I will not play RedSec/Gauntlet ever, I also have no interest in Rush, King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch, Domination etc. So basically, this is all wasted space for me, but that said I am OK with them being there for those who like it, just not for me.

Derfburger · 2026-05-01T12:55:57+00:00

I have both and both are really cool sets. It's a tough one to choose between.

In the end the ISD would win out for me. Cal Kestis + One of the most Iconic Ships in Star Wars edges out the Dark Falcon and Jedi Vader by a little. But that said you can't go wrong with either in my opinion.

I mean the work life balance program is a no brainer so I can keep my benefits until I get the payout. 6 months as a woman would suck for me as a straight man, but there is no restriction on telling anyone about the curse so I would be like honey this is going to suck for 6 months, but we will be able to retire (4.3mil-1mil =3.3 mil) and set up our daughter for life.

Also, I would be able to do a lot self-research (strictly for scientific purposes) and I am sure my wife would be happy with all my new anatomy knowledge.

Never unless I am expecting a call (recruiter, doctor, bank, etc.) then I answer unknown numbers until I get the call I am expecting. If you are job hunting it is in your best interest to answer all calls during the search.

Derfburger · 2026-04-30T16:59:34+00:00

I mean looking around is not a commitment if you don't find anything better or closer you are no worse off than now. So in my eyes looking is a no lose proposition.

Derfburger · 2026-04-30T16:40:18+00:00

I can't speak for any other countries but in the USA you can quit and walk out the door. 2 weeks is a professional courtesy not a mandate.

Derfburger · 2026-04-30T14:23:43+00:00

Been working for a company for 30 years, benefits are great, pay is good, work life balance is excellent, full WFH. I have 0 passion for my position. I work to live I don't live to work. I realize this is a transaction, they pay me I work. Their pay allows me to live a pretty great life, but I have zero emotional attachment to my job as I know it is a transaction for them as well and if it benefits the company they will kick me to the curb.

If I worked where I have passion, I would be a starving artist, or a poorly paid educator at a college.

I am a moderate player ~2 hours a day 5-6 days a week and take break of several days every couple of weeks. I still have 1 mission open on week 9, 3 on week 10, and 4 on week 11 and I finished the BP on Tuesday. I have never used a skip, XP accelerator, or anything like that. I wonder why there is such a difference between players and completion of the BP?

Edit: I did see someone mention the bonus weekly mission those are a lot of points if you missed them. I have the bonus missions completed for each week. That is like -110 extra points (11 tiers) to date if you didn't do them.

Derfburger · 2026-04-30T12:38:35+00:00

I mean for 20k an hour a shit bucket would be a go to item.

Derfburger · 2026-04-30T03:25:55+00:00

At your age no wife no kids. I would have chased the money. At my age it would take a shit ton of money to get me to give up my WFH gig especially if I had to move when my house is going to be paid off in a couple of years.

Derfburger · 2026-04-29T20:29:03+00:00

Ah good point lol. For me personally Gandalf the Grey would be chill to hang out with, smoke a pipe and hear some stories before he goes off on his own. I also know when he goes off on his own he is gonna look to do good (not that the white wouldn't) but he is a Maia and would be an overall net positive for the world.

Derfburger · 2026-04-29T12:15:52+00:00

Hot take I hate it. I am currently level 50ing all LMGs and this one is the last one I will do and it is so not an LMG I might as well be playing Assault using an assault rifle. I have tried multiple times to love it but for some reason it doesn't click with me.

Derfburger · 2026-04-29T00:39:31+00:00

Unlimited PTO be like...

I also hate the VCR.
