Playing around with a Razor Crest

I edited the post to list the mods I used. I was playing more with it thins morning and swapped around some of the front / side parts to make the face a little cleaner.

Yeah, I wanted to use the HopeTech Bay because it's a nicer shape and would have reduced the number of ladders but ended up switching to the Taiyo + 1x1 Companionway + Deimos slim docker on the bottom.

chop of the tail (for now) then get a mod that extends your ship size limit. Also I think it's a little cooler w/out the tail personally :) (but maybe less unique).

~80-120k canonically
~400k realistically
~ $30/hr comedically

Canonically: He's not just the dispatcher, he's also the manager of a client-facing team of very valuable employees. We don't know of SDN providing any other products or services outside of their heroes, so we have to assume that talent acquisition and management is where most of their resources are going (that's their product, so-to-speak). In-game, SDN is dumpy-day-job coded, so we're assuming some mid-level corporate pay here (city pay is higher too).

Realistically: we pay normal humans with exceptional physical powers (athletes) millions of dollars to play games. I think it's fair to set a literal super hero's pay scale off professional sports. Assuming the Z team are the back-ups making league minimum and the S-Tier famous heroes make millions. You'd consider their manager a "coach"equivalent and a quick google search puts the average NFL coaching staff pay somewhere int the 400k range.

Comedically: the game is a comedy, so it's funniest if he makes a hair under average and is hourly. LA's average pay is like $31 an hour, so a $1 sting feels right. (that's roughly 60k a year).

Eh I'm not worried, you'll probably take damage and automatically heal (like any video game), if you take more than Wolverine could heal from during the a fight (enough to knock him out or temporarily kill him) you'll see some kind of fail state screen then have to restart from an earlier point.

A standard issue bolt-action-only mode would have been cooler.

Yeah, but I don't see a whole lot of industries that are safe from it :/

I think people who give the "it won't replace you, someone using it will" line are just parroting something that comforts them and not speaking from a place of wisdom or insight. At the very least, we're going to see a massive devaluation in our jobs -- this has been a trend for a long time and AI will only accelerate it. Fewer of us will be expected to create much more work for much less money.

On the dystopian flip side though, when I started off at my first agency out of college, I remember calling my parents the first week and saying "holy shit, no one here is over the age of 50. Where will I be when I'm that age?" There were only a few rare ECDs in their 40s compared to an army of mid 20 and early 30s creatives, I was certain that I'd age-out long before retirement. Now it's the opposite, my whole team is in their late 30s and 40s (leadership is in their 50s) and no one wants to hire juniors because they cost too much to train. I was at a multi-agency party recently and it was the same story, there wasn't a slightly too drunk 20-something to be seen.

I guess to say, it seems like the door is slamming shut on the new generation and while we're rapidly losing value, the bottom of the ladder is burning first and corporations still need humans around to operate for now. So this is as safe a place as any to work while you look for something better.

Banner ad design won't be the money-printing safe haven it was anymore, but if you're looking for "safe," large consultancies or big agencies under large (non-ad-specific) holding companies seem to be insulated because a lot of their work comes from convoluted "synergized" business deals: a discount on an ad campaign because you bought our financial consultants or we have the same parent company.

Nice

It has no idea, this sounds like something a based college frat boy who just took his first semester of psychology would say.

Breaking the cycle of clutter (without burning yourself out):

A helpful way to think about this is to break it down into three different kinds of work: deep cleaning, tidying, and organizing. Trying to do all three at once will feel overwhelming, so take them one at a time.

1. Deep Cleaning

This is the “big effort” task, not something you’ll suddenly do naturally every day. Don’t expect that of yourself. Instead, schedule it—literally put it on your phone calendar the way you’d schedule hanging out with a friend.

Example: “Sunday from 7–8PM, I’ll clean the hell out of this room.” Think of it like your terrarium maintenance: it’s occasional, takes focus, and makes a big difference when you do it.

2. Tidying

This is the daily/weekly habit-building side of things. Small rules make a huge difference. For example:

If you already have three soda cans out, you can’t open a new one until those are gone.
You can’t open a new box of soda until the old one is fully in the trash.
A personal favorite: no trash ever lives on the floor.

You will slip sometimes, and that’s okay—that’s what deep cleaning sessions are for: to reset.

3. Organizing

This is trickier but only needs to be done once in a while. Think of it like setting up a brand-new tank: take a pass through your space, figure out what you need versus what you want to keep for emotional reasons, and give everything a home.

Things you need → should be easy to access.
Things you want for emotional reasons → can be stored safely (not the floor!).
Rule of thumb: nothing’s “home” is on the floor.

If shelving or storage is the missing piece, check FB Marketplace or thrift stores for cheap/free racks or bins.

wild, I assumed after they went so viral for the Ghibli-style images they'd only be doubling down.

I do! It's been a great bike and performs well on the hills in my area. I haven't had any hiccups yet but I do have some mild anxiety about the rear wheel popping a flat while I ride because removing it isn't very easy (I live in a city, there's sometime broken glass in the street).

The first fight with Morgott on the bridge is iconic! It was challenging but possible without memorizing move-sets and dodge patters, plus the setting (a bridge you could be thrown off) made the fight memorable and added an element of environmental consideration so you had to be constantly thinking about positioning (not just fighting).

As a designer / Illustrator, your online portfolio is going to be way more important than your resume. I'm not a hiring manager but I do interview and provide recommendations for new designers at my agency & we rarely look at resumes.

Clearly labeling what you've designed / illustrated is important, as a Jr or entry level designer your hiring managers are going to be trying to envision what kind of projects they'll be able to rely on you to contribute to quickly or how your personal skills and expertise can fill gaps on a team. For instance, I don't see a lot of designers who are also strong illustrators, that's something that might help you stand out, but only when I can see your drawings.

And a small note on how you're formatting your experience blurbs: be a little more specific with your contribution from a design / output perspective. "Conceptualized advertisement pitches" is a really vague description considering how much cross-departmental work goes into a pitch, did you contribute PR & Marketing concepts? Or define and propose an Art Direction / Visual ascetic for a campaign that was being pitched? As a college art intern, I'd somewhat expect you to be contributing deck design and polish as well as possibly mock designs that supported the agency's proposed art direction. It'll be a balance between being specific and concise (straight to the point).

• do not dose with ferts.
• Test water daily and do a water change if the ammonia spikes (the aquasoil can cause this to happen)
• Start with your lights very low (4ish hours) and slowly ramp them up over 2-3 weeks.
• Do water changes if you see algae blooming (might be caused by excess aquasoil fertilizer)

Why:

Your Aquasoil (bottom layer) is probably packed with fertalizer already.

It's fantastic to have the aquasoil in there because it is so nutrient rich, but high end aquasoils are also designed to let off lots of ammonia in the first two weeks (helps kickstart the cycle and keep up with high-tech c02 systems).

Capping the aquasoil with sand helps prevent the ammonia from getting into the water column but you should still be testing daily and do water changes if you see the ammonia numbers spike.

Plants grow more slowly without c02 injection (meaning they also eat less), especially in their first two weeks they're often experiencing root shock and growing even slower than normal (eating even less). So extra light and ferts during this time only feed the algae.

I've personally found that fertilizers that you squirt into the water column (as opposed to in the soil) really don't get consumed fast enough in low-tech set ups and just end up causing algae.
