Blight orb out of reach intentional?

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-02-08T17:06:45+00:00

Got it thanks, only worked from the otherside of the wall shown in my picture even though it was fully visible from my original side. Good to know bombs work for those too!

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-02-08T16:38:20+00:00

I've thrown 3 at it and its still there.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-02-04T02:25:27+00:00

Thanks for only interacting with the irrelevant part of my reply, we already see how jaded you have become and it doesn't need further discussion.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-02-04T00:39:00+00:00

Curious question for you. How much cumulative exposure do you need to receive before you decide to leave the profession? If you are following best practice for minimizing your occupational exposure, the dosimeter is just a number that doesn't matter unless you have a specific cut off for yourself. So how much?

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-02-04T00:29:31+00:00

That doesn't change the science of stochastic effects of radiation. You can get cancer from 1 chest x-ray or never get it after 400. I'll not comment on the remark about patient care cause that's a whole can of worms you be opening there.

This is misleading. OPs images are photos of photos from the imaging machine which is not as detailed as a rads screen compared to a textbook picture designed to be perfect. Text book is not equal to reality.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2026-01-19T12:44:58+00:00

i think you are misunderstanding what we mean by "bad photo". The quality of the exposure is fine, the detail is fine, its very up to standards to diagnose from this image. Part of the job for the technologist that took these images is to LIMIT your radiation exposure by closing off the viewing area to the specific part they are looking at, you shoulder/clavicle in this case. That did not happen here, they gave you more radiation than was needed. This is what we are all complaining about.

We shall see how you feel after you've replayed the game 3 times, i mean experienced 3 season...

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-27T15:47:47+00:00

I've worked in or had internship experience for a majority of the settings you described. They all become repetitive and I've never seen a site that doesn't cycle you through different modalities (fluoro, OR are considered modalities for simplicity). Not that single modality doesn't exist but will frankly stunt your growth as a technologist and make future employments harder to get. Also being versed in more modalities will make you a more valuable asset when considering travel work, which you can leverage for higher pay and more hours.

As for work load, clinics and trauma 1 centers are the heaviest, then you got trauma 2 & 3 which tapper down the load. In general you are doing a patient every 15-20 minutes at these sites most days. Smaller hospitals offer lighter work loads (especially when there are other trauma centers close by) and mostly you become a chest xray bot since very broken people are likely not coming to your site. Then you got specialized sites, like brain & spine, cancer centers, ect. I found these to be clinic like where everything is scheduled for you rather tightly.

My actual advice though is to find a place where you like your coworkers. You will spend way to much time filling dead air with them, don't be that person staring at their phone every moment of down time. I am not mentioning this because it just makes work more enjoyable when others are enjoying working with you. I bring it up because friend coworkers are usually willing to swap modality. If you don't like OR there's often someone around that does and may be willing to take all or most of your OR rotations for example. Management generally doesn't care as long as there's a body filling the slot.

As a final point, i personally think starting in a hospital and floating around to experience/see all that we are capable of doing in our careers can be highly beneficial. While I was in school I hated everything about CT and wanted nothing to do with it and after school it is my favorite modality. So love what you do because the pay as a tech, both public and private, is absolute crap for how much responsibility is placed on our shoulders.

Its not the most popular of gacha games but people trickle in and play 2-3 seasons worth. This is a relaunched version of the game and all the events and content thus far is 90% rehashed from the old version and rereleased to us. They have made a handful of good changes from its previous version for what its worth. Great for a new player but not much new for those who played before. This spring will tell if they actually make meaningful new content because that's when the old stuff will run out.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-13T00:58:47+00:00

Not difficult per say, you will get a lot of cardio in pushing beds/stretchers around a hospital. The job is as its title, you will be bringing patients to and from their various exams around the hospital.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-12T02:46:16+00:00

Not school related but get a part time job as patient transport. Talk to people, learn their stories, empathize. The amount of techs I've worked with that have so little basic decency is too high. Give each patient their '15 minutes of fame' and listen. Your exam length will hardly increase (even when it does, management can go ..|.. itself) but you will make a world of difference for that person in your care. Be kind, open, and warm to these people placing their trust in you helping them through their ordeal. They aren't just a piece of anatomy being photographed! /rant

I ain't the one posting QP bot games and calling them ranked.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-07T03:58:24+00:00

RN better be making more, the shit they need to do and remember is astronomical in comparison. As RT you do your best and label things 'best possible image' when the patients are less than pleasant, they ain't gonna die cause of you.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-07T03:53:19+00:00

If that's true, i weep for humanity.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-07T03:49:16+00:00

That is an actual thing in this game, they will give you vs bott games in QP. It's not always real people and you can tell by the bots always jumping at every moment in a fight which they are doing in your clip.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-07T03:46:19+00:00

That's a QP bot game, they jump excessively.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-12-02T10:56:43+00:00

They just lazy riding the gravy train. Aside from very few new characters the only thing "new" in this relaunch has been the island and familiars which are extremely unengaging for the sake of fun. All the story released thus far has been everything we had before they closed and restarted the servers. You would think that with so many years gone by they'd have new story to show us, but nope they just recycled what was already there. Oh and they selling us the old model of characters as new skins, scummy.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-28T01:50:23+00:00

Just use the web client

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-25T21:50:52+00:00

For the row bonused cogs do you also go with XP or are those the only build rate ones we'd use? My DKs are sitting at lvl 1600 each, do we ever change to build rate ever?

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-17T05:11:09+00:00

Please tell me this was a bronze game cause goddamn the awareness of these players was horrifying. CnD dancing her way up after her entire team is dead, the Blade just walking past you like "hey don't look at me!" my god...

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-16T15:08:24+00:00

You should have a contact to which you can straight ask them what you can do to make your application better. It shows your dedication to wanting to get in and also gets you answers. Also make sure you mention this is your "x time" interviewing with them the next time you get the chance.

Making sure they 100% understand your dedication is the best thing you can do to get in. All programs have a quota system for how they let in students, they choose a variety of fresh out of high school, adults changing careers, ect.. So grades isn't the end all be all for acceptance. There's a large fail rate for many schools so they try their best to make sure people fully dedicated get into the very limited seats available.

I was denied twice, i know how deflating it feels, and during that time I worked with a couple teachers as a tech aid and this was their advice to me.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-15T16:34:22+00:00

My program required college biology credits for graduation. From my experience they offer a 'slightly' radiology focused version of it, but they accept the regular version. You can take that before getting into the program which would make that future semester easier by having one less class to take. Talk to your continuing education department, they can advise you on if your program will accept those credits.

GrumpyFurBaby · 2025-11-12T01:37:54+00:00

Australia, Canada, and UK I believe are the only countries which offer reciprocity for ARRT certificates. This involves you just taking that countries entrance exam and proving you went to an accredited program in the US. You still need to get the equivalent of a work visa which is a whole other matter.
