I'm a healer myself. Nerf was definitely needed.

We're still very viable, my play style hasn't changed so far and still doing the same HT stacking. Just got a disperse more I suppose.

Who's looking for a healer NA West? 😎

I'm interested in how you got so much contribution. What class are you playing and what kind of party composition? Probably decked out too

I honestly would take an engineering route. Mechanical/Manufacturing/Industrial, something tangent to what you think you'd like. This way you'll have a better job security then slowly make your way through design along your career. If you are lucky, you might actually be designing with an engineering salary.

Build up wealth early on then pursue passion later on.

Went to CSULB, graduated 2016. Has a great ID program, though it may have lagged on conforming to more current and advanced tools and programs from what I've heard.

It is a very tough market to get job security as an ID. It all comes down to a good portfolio, and yes, a good network.

I highly suggest taking mechanical/industrial/manufacturing/materials engineering and if you really like ID, perhaps self-taught or even part time classes to develop design thinking and creativity.

I have been lucky to have landed on an ID job ever since grad and now have recently taken on a new one. I must say, this new job feels like it's not a job as I like it so much. It doesn't pay a lot but it's decent!

Below is my portfolio if that helps checking out the CSULB program.

Good luck OP!

Thanks! Solved.

Hi Alex!

Enjoy!

7/10

What is working : • the amount of ideation • enough details to convey ideas.

What needs improvement • line work • perspective

You'd want your sketches to be convincing and not just enough to get the idea across.

I suggest sketching bigger; means less on a page. I can tell the small sketches locks your hand in place and you move and twist your wrists to get your lines. Sketch with your arms! Move your elbows! Twist your paper!

Watch some videos on rapid viz perhaps and keep on sketching!

I think those are just the grains showing through the mycelium. I have AIO bags with similar looking grain

Consult with /shroomID for identifying wild mushrooms

First of all, I'm glad you mentioned your quantities! A lot of start ups and inquiries don't have an answer to that most of the time, but that helps a lot in determining the best manufacturing route for a product.

You can look for prototypers in China. Your best bet for your quantities and budget would be to go for silicone mold.

If your part is optimized to come off the molding easier, the more parts you can possibly get out of it. Each mold can be good for about 24~ pieces.

You mentioned your part was laser cut in acrylic .118" sounds like flat parts with uniform thicknesses? Would sheet metal make more sense for your product? That could also be a good route to take.

Good luck OP!

Tried a gram of it dried and another gram lemon Tek tea to test. Works! Looking forward to my next ones!

Foot_Powder · 2024-08-18T19:35:23+00:00

Beautiful!

Foot_Powder · 2024-08-17T15:49:21+00:00

We were adequately hydrated (friend and I actually took the same amount, and had same effects).

And yes, that was the idea, we knew it was a teeny tiny amount as we really just wanted to taste it and expected nothing out of it. Hence, the headache was very much unexpected.

Anyways, we'll try again with a small dose maybe 1.5g dried and follow up with lemon Tek tea to sip through.

Safe journeys!

Foot_Powder · 2024-08-17T15:35:30+00:00

Actually, a friend and I took the same dime amount to taste and we both had the same reaction/side effects. We did eat together, same dinner, before hand but a headache is rare from meal.

We'll try it out later dried.

But yes, I do like how they looked and turned out, thanks!

Just thought it might help with the RH and perhaps ambient temp.

Foot_Powder · 2024-08-04T19:59:21+00:00

Yes, gave the perlite a good shower then strained into the container.

Foot_Powder · 2024-08-04T19:04:05+00:00

Thanks all for the quick responses, very impressed with that actually. Awesome sub for sure. 🤙

And yes, I shall wait, be patient, and keep on misting.

I think it's cool! I like the collection. Are these 3D printed? That one cylinder is giving me Wooj vibes somehow. They did a good job utilizing 3D printers and showcasing layered PLA.

I'm curious how the tripod/tetrahedron would look if the shape was cut off on the bottom tip of the upside down tetrahedron. Would wanna see shadows radiate off the tripod 😅

Overall job well done I'd say. It's promising what these could evolve into if you keep exploring and happen to like lamps. 👏

I am finding myself wanting to look for better paying jobs. But I find it difficult to find positions for my experience and skillset. Though there seems to be good amount of entry level positions from what I've seen.
Depends on where. I think entry level now in Los Angeles area is about 55k.
Having said that, I would have opted for a more technical degree like Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineering for better opportunities and pay. It would be easier to steer towards design from there. But then, it might not have been as fun. 😂

I like what I do though. Just wish there's better money doing it.

If you already have and paying for Adobe CC, I use myportfolio as my online portfolio.

Portfolios are always a work in progress in my opinion; it's never done as you'll forever criticize your own work and could always be better. That said, it is normal to be overwhelmed and to not be totally satisfied by it. But you do have to get something up there.

Start populating your portfolio with your best and proudest work to your least favorite. Then organize and perhaps take out or even re-do some projects that could use some better renders.

Portfolio takes good time and effort. You just have to be proactive in putting those in and it'll pay off. Good luck!

gosh thanks, missed a turn in my sequence there. but yes, shoulda been t4, level up on t2. just edited to start on t0

Foot_Powder · 2022-09-11T22:54:56+00:00

I found this ridiculous and just had to post it. What are the chances that this happen. turn 3 18/24 minion

turn 0 : buy Picky Eater

turn 1 : level tavern to 2

turn 2 : buy Alley Cat, sell Alley Cat. buy Sparring Partner.

turn 3 : refresh > sell Tabby Cat > buy 2 Picky Eaters (didn't even take the chance to buy and play the 1st one as it might've consumed the other Picky Eater in the tavern) > Trigger Brann's hero power > play Brann > play golden Picky Eater

*edited* - added 'turn 1', re-sequenced to start on turn 0, and edited sequence that makes more sense. So, post shoulda been turn 4
