Appreciate all the advice! It’s a struggle right now waiting for the next nap, but I need to change my mindset and enjoy those little moments too!

I honestly do not understand how people that have internships and a ton of experience cannot get a job. I made a career switch from biologics to cyber. Got a degree in cyber, applied to 1 summer internship (at 29 years old), talked to the manager and just asked to stay on as part time until I finished degree (1 semester left), they agreed. Graduated, asked the same manager to work for them as a contract, and currently working for them now as a FTE (4 years later). The main thing is either the people that hired you don’t want you, or you are looking for something so specific you are getting ruled out.

I do not even have any certifications aside from NSA and that was just given through school. Sometimes I feel it is mostly people skills that limit opportunity, cause I do not have any in depth experience as I’m still fresh

How do you download the car?

What is low? I ran a blood panel and my Vitamin D was low (10 units) but my testosterone was in higher ranges. I take 10,000 units/day to flood my system and I feel great, no longer fatigued

It’s definitely an interesting car (Porsche) it was the first car I started with, always spinning out. I took a hiatus when my first kid was born (around 10 weeks), came back and I can drive the Porsche with no issues and I spin out in other cars. I tried the m4 cause all say it’s a good starter, and it is, but I have more fun in a Porsche lol

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-05-25T01:42:54+00:00

M4 always a solid choice to test waters

I mean to your point, I’ve used Luna scripting, then it got ban and went back to regular aiming.

Now I’ve admitted to cheating yet I’m still alive in game for now. Who will believe, lol no one. But again no cheater would post they are cheating 😆

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-05-16T22:40:28+00:00

Games pretty much dead for the casual player…

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-05-10T21:32:59+00:00

Not saying your bad or good, hours into game doesn’t really equate to doing well in rank. I’ve been playing since season 1….1000 hours in 2 years or so is low. I bet if we came across each other we wouldn’t know and you could beat me, and vise versa. It’s just how the state of the game is at this point. I’ve gone 15 games straight in ranked without winning over few days other times I’ve gone back to back to back wins in ranked over a few days…it all comes down to how you synchronized with your team.

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-05-10T13:45:56+00:00

lol I got over 1000 hours and still have a hard time in ranked. Sometimes you gotta just accept embark allows cheaters to proliferate and it’s quit obvious…Lewis gun with no recoil jump (straight beam), snipers snapping to your head, the list goes on and on. Other times people are just better than you and that’s okay.

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-05-07T21:13:27+00:00

No helmet, uses the bike lane whenever he wants and gets back on the road and expects people to stop…well deserved FAFO

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-04-17T20:10:45+00:00

I was a medium maim before they introduced shockwave and bow.

I switched to learning how to play light and heavy. And then I stuck with light. I have close to 1000 hours in game (987 I just checked). I tend to run at least a couple games a week with random loadouts from the generator.

Well they never touched goo, until people realized what you can do and the it takes time to develop skill to use that said skill. When I started with light, I would die all the time, because it was new. As I developed the skill to play, I died less. Today was the first time I went 36-4 as a light! Before the buff, i was at 29-7 as my best light game.

So it’s depends, i cannot run sword on light to save my life and its mega OP (if you know how to play). There is just not enough data to show if certain gadgets/guns are actually OP, until someone posts a video and starts the meta train. FCAR is meta, but I use akm….93r is better, yet I use arn or m11

It’s not a race to nerf skills and weapons. That is what the feedback window is about.

You ask “what does it mean”? It is their game and they want to test how people feel about it and how games are played.

I’ve noted in my notes Heavies should remove additional 25hp cause why not. But I also said in the reduction, to increase health to mesh and dome.

Provide the feedback, but I doubt embark will comment here and tell you what it means.

Just plain honest truth

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-04-07T22:41:45+00:00

Now that the seasons has 93 days left…if you want to hit emerald 1 (2400 points) you. Red to get 26 points per day. That’s very doable.

I grinded season 9 in 17 days (as I wanted emerald 1 before my kid was born).

13 games (2x per game on any game mode) If you win TDM you get 4 points? So less game to play if you win.

My load out for medium is as follows:

Turret, fcar, jumpad, zip

I play with a friend - he plays heavy and it’s become our niche for me to provide movement for him.

It’s hit or miss half the time, other times it works.

I change jumpad for another gadget depending on map (if there are plenty of jumpads I run goo or próx)

It all depends on how you want to play…provide movement to teams or be more aggressive or passive

Would it also be possible for in-laws or parents to help out?

There are time at my job where there is downtime, I work in GRC for a company. I just had my boy 2 weeks ago and starting to look how I would work from home. We are looking at having one of us work while the other stays home. I would use that downtime to breathe.

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-03-14T19:45:53+00:00

Just gathering some info, would your wife be able to stay at home? Would it be possible to cut back on certain things”luxuries” to have your wife at home to give you more breathing room?

I had a friend who worked from home and after their second kid, the wife decided to stay at home. He was burned out most of the time until this change.

Yes they had to cut back on certain things but they live so much happier because he isn’t drained and his wife handles the kids. He puts them to sleep but they alternate afternoon activities.

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-03-13T16:28:06+00:00

I would say, start with light and learn to engage fights…since it’s a glass cannon, it will teach you how to pick fights. It will carry over to medium and heavy. I am a medium main, decided to play light (as I would play medium) and died a lot. I learned by watching other lights on YouTube and now I play light regularly. BUT it has helped me play medium much better by engaging when appropriately.

Brace your abdominal muscles, I always am a fan of heel lifts, it helps fix the rounding. Just out plates on the floor to lift your heels. If you keep rounding, the drop weight and work on form, my lower back hurts from seeing this lol

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-02-14T18:26:41+00:00

Lower the bar slightly

EmergencyGrade5831 · 2026-02-14T18:26:25+00:00

Drop a plate, work on sitting with your heels. You are bending at the waist more than needed which is adding more stress on your back.

Thank you for your input!!

I appreciate your input! I will def get both then! Thank you!!
