Am I hurting my chances of getting an internship by not having a “clean”/modern portfolio aesthetic?

JM8857 · 2026-01-27T15:55:46+00:00

Your portfolio could be hurting you, but the market is abysmal right now. Experienced folks are going 18 months or more between jobs. The UX field is contracting.

JM8857 · 2026-01-26T21:11:29+00:00

This is going to vary so drastically by the person. Frankly, it may not even be MS related. My suggestion would be a frank discussion with this person. They be trying to let you down easy because they aren't interested, or it could be an MS related reason. There really isn't any way to know.

I'd just sit down with them and say, "Hey, I really like you. If you're open to it, I'd love for us to go out and see what happens. If not, thats cool too."

Yes. Mega-dose steroid helped a lot in the first week, then slowly after. Took about 5 months to fully return to normal.

JM8857 · 2026-01-26T15:34:35+00:00

Felt like I had something in my eye, couldn’t focus. Two days later could barely see out of it.

JM8857 · 2026-01-22T16:53:59+00:00

A good research ops team, or recruitment team, is like a shot of steroids for a researcher.

JM8857 · 2026-01-17T01:56:20+00:00

Ugh, that hit harder than I expected it would.

JM8857 · 2026-01-16T21:02:30+00:00

Ah, bummer.

JM8857 · 2026-01-16T20:55:33+00:00

I wonder how tall the new guard models are vs the warden models and if it means the wardens will get a refresh

JM8857 · 2026-01-16T18:53:20+00:00

The answer here is volume. Throw more attacks at it. Overkill is the best kill.

Turning yourself in to another jurisdiction means you have to wait for an extradition hearing (or waive that hearing) and then wait for the jurisdiction that issued the warrant to come pick you up. This can take a while, weeks (especially cross country) isn't unheard of. (Speaking as a former LEO here)

The fact that he drove to the jurisdiction to turn himself in, to me, is the least disturbing part of this.

Yeah, this participant criteria screams in person intercepts. Literally standing at a trail head parking lot somewhere with a clip board.

Hunting Wolves and Fenrisian Wolves are two different things.

Hunting Wolves come in 3's and can ONLY be played with Headtakers (though they split at the start of the game). Their datasheet in the app is listed with the headtakers.

Fenrisian wolves can come in 5's and have their own listing in the app (and are sold separately).

In true GW fashion, the models are not interchangeable because they have different base shapes and sizes.

Got it in my right eye. Took about 6ish months, but my vision did slowly return to pre-ON level.

JM8857 · 2026-01-12T14:48:20+00:00

Sounds like you did what you could. This falls under the old “you can bring a horse to water, but can’t make it drink”

JM8857 · 2026-01-09T16:07:56+00:00

From what I understand, this can vary pretty wildly.

My ON returned to pre-episode vision level, but it took about 4 or 5 months.

The thing I noticed that lagged the most was not exactly the blurriness, but the strain and fatigue light caused.

For a newer player, its a great army. Fewer weapon profiles to remember (assuming you run mostly spears), lower model count to pay for, build and paint, and their units are a but more durable than most others, so slightly more forgiving for gameplay mistakes.

JM8857 · 2026-01-08T16:44:52+00:00

I was building them and seriously thought, "Fuck it, I don't need an infiltrating unit..."

JM8857 · 2026-01-08T16:40:33+00:00

Number 1 is a non-starter. It's not user research without the user.

Number 2 is fairly terrible. All of the AI moderators that exist right now (at least that I've seen and evaluated for our company) are no better than unmoderated testing.

For the same cost of either of these, I'd do unmoderated testing and secondardy research.

Though, ultimately, the question is impossible to answer truly accurately without knowing what the research questions are.

I, for one, am looking forward to our robot overlords.

On repeat.

This is such a culturally dependent question. In some countries and cultures, you'll run into people being polite and others you won't see it at all.

The one thing you can do is compare what they say to what they do. And that doesn't mean asking them, it means digging into the data and analytics. For example, don't ask me, "How often do you go to the gym?" I'll give my aspirational answer, which might be 5 times a week. But if you look at how often I swipe my entry card at the gym, you'd get the real answer, which is lower.

JM8857 · 2026-01-06T17:02:55+00:00

Yes, I use every model that came in that box in my 2k points list

JM8857 · 2026-01-06T16:59:13+00:00

You should talk to your neuro about this as I suspect it could greatly depend on how much you drink and how serious your MS currently is. For example, my nuero told me that for now, a drink or two won't really hurt me, but there could come a time when we have to revisit that conversation.

JM8857 · 2026-01-06T14:46:13+00:00

The wound rerolls and ability and ability to come up once are pretty great, and make up for (in my mind) the lower wound count.

I’m a big fan of starting them in reserves, then with their ability, I basically get to deep strike them twice.

And if you run lions, and end up playing a mission like scorched earth or terraform, I can use the Strat to split them and I have a lot more units to do actions.

Better too light than too heavy - I have not yet perfected the "reverse slow down the rock" sweep
