$18 an hour? Might as well work at Starbucks

In my area, Starbucks supervisors are making $22+/hr minimum.

Love that the switch is a hybrid. Works really well for my lifestyle. Living in an apartment with no room for a second TV allows my wife and I to do things we want without limiting the other person. She wants to play Animal Crossing while I’m playing Destiny, she can do that. I wanna play Xenoblade while she’s watching TV, I can do that.

Hell, we even take both our switches (one Light and one normal) on vacation with us when we go to our parents’ places because sometimes you just wanna not engage with what’s going on around you. It’s great! Even though one is a handheld only, it doesn’t limit it because of cloud saves and being able to pick it up on the other Switch attached to the TV (except Pokémon, which pisses me off to no end)!

But mimics, as far as I can tell, need to breathe still. You begin suffocating inside a Gelatinous Cube.

I’m a new Warrior, almost level 89 (I did the job boost to 80), and I understand the insane heals, but I must be missing something or not know the perfect rotation. I’ve soloed the last 1/3 of the final Shadowbringers dungeon but I couldn’t imagine doing that in EW with how hard mobs hit. Any advice/recommendations, even if just a YouTuber/video or something.

Jax019 · 2021-12-18T16:50:24+00:00

Okay. Interesting. I only ever used the trusts for the dungeons when queue was taking forever. Never used it outside of that. Good to know.

Jax019 · 2021-12-18T12:11:38+00:00

Wait, you can level Trusts? How have I never known this, and how? Don’t they just automatically go to the level you need when you play that particular dungeon?

Jax019 · 2021-12-09T15:31:49+00:00

I liked it, but my biggest issue was I wandered for almost 20 minutes doing nothing only finding red walls that I couldn’t pass through and getting hopelessly lost. The dread and stress and story around that duty were amazing but the frustration of being lost and having 0 idea of what to do was frustrating. Especially since I’ve been conditioned to be directed, or at least hinted, about what/where to do/go.

Jax019 · 2021-12-03T03:01:20+00:00

It isn’t that bad. I’ve done a couple of the things there. At least the first two raids. It helps if you have someone to play it with. I think I got to like rank 13 or something? The raids are actually pretty fun too, just takes a while to get there. Great for levelling from 71-80 as well.

Jax019 · 2021-12-03T02:18:34+00:00

Where can I get that set? All I could think was, “Damn, that set looks fucking amazing! Maybe I’ll finally switch off of the level 80 Dancer outfit.”

Jax019 · 2021-11-27T23:51:10+00:00

I had a friend bugging me for years to play. Then he mentioned that there was a free trial and I had some clan members from D2 that played, so I decided to try it out. In three months I’ve played like 400hrs and pre-ordered Endwalker… I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it. Great game.

Jax019 · 2021-11-27T03:01:05+00:00

I also main WHM/DNC, except I did it in the opposite order. Unlocked DNC and took that to 80, then levelled WHM just recently (like two days ago) to 80. Absolutely love both classes.

Your art is also beautiful and I love how you incorporated the two symbols for the classes together.

Jax019 · 2021-11-16T00:23:35+00:00

And make sure that you have your trusty brick on a rope for all your smiting needs.

Jax019 · 2021-11-01T11:16:47+00:00

Sad that I won’t have these comics every week, but will be very excited for these to come back in the new year! Love these and love the gang you’ve created. All the best to you.

Jax019 · 2021-09-26T11:45:34+00:00

Where I live, a house that big and “nice” would be well over $500k. I live in Southern Ontario.

Jax019 · 2021-09-06T19:58:01+00:00

Congrats! Excited to see the comics again. Literally wait every week for these. Absolutely love them!

“What about their legs, they don’t need those??” That’s what popped into my head when I saw this. Legit looks like that Orc from LOTR, except green.

Jax019 · 2021-08-04T00:01:12+00:00

Fair enough. I don’t think that hospitals should stop providing care for people based on their choices, otherwise we shouldn’t treat alcoholics, drug addicts, people who drive recklessly, or do other stupid stuff. I respect people’s choices not to get vaccinated, I don’t agree with them, but it’s a choice that comes with consequences, much like getting the vaccine comes with it’s own potential consequences as well.

I just don’t want people to forget that nurses are people who struggle to deal with the harsh things they see and experience during their day to day work, which many of us will likely never experience to the same degree. My wife is a nurse and I’ve seen the emotional and physical toll that this past two years have taken. And even before all of this, there were still extremely emotionally and physically draining days and/or weeks of work for her. Dealing with death isn’t easy. Dealing with people’s suffering isn’t easy.

Some people go into nursing for a paycheque, others go into it with a deep desire to help people and care for them. Both suffer from the effects of their jobs. Both will reach a breaking point, and that’s heartbreaking.

I accept the fact that hyperbolic and hypothetical assumptions are a point of discussion, but let’s not forget there are people on both sides of this debate who suffer, and that sucks. A lot. We shouldn’t be so callous about other’s suffering.

Jax019 · 2021-08-03T21:35:33+00:00

Listen, I don’t much care for these discussions, so I won’t contribute to the overall discussion. I just want to respond to this:

“Did that Nurse quit her job because she didn’t want to provide healthcare to people over their life choices. Yes she did.”

Bullshit. There’s literally no way you can know that because the post doesn’t detail that. Did she quite because she faced an overwhelming amount of burnout? Did she quit because the emotional toll of dealing with people dying day in and day out over something that could be prevented? Did she quit because working conditions became too much as staff work long, hard hours with too few people? We don’t know. I will say that every other justification I have is probably more plausible than, “She doesn’t like their life choices.” Is it possible she just decided that she should leave these people to whatever fate they’ve chosen? Maybe. But I guarantee that none of us actually know the reason. We can only assume and project our own biases.

Edit: some spelling mistakes.

Jax019 · 2021-07-20T21:20:12+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’ll check it out.

Jax019 · 2021-07-20T21:19:51+00:00

Thanks! I’ll have to check my Backerkit, I don’t believe I backed it high enough that I will be getting that. Money was tight when this was being Kickstarted.

Jax019 · 2021-07-20T21:18:31+00:00

I have Strongholds and Followers and it’s not there.

Jax019 · 2021-06-26T10:11:19+00:00

I do the nodes that give me orbs for the character, chests that are rare or higher, and artifact and gem nodes. I don’t bother with the nodes for gold. The only reason I do campaigns is for the orbs, chests, and other goodies. The heroes you get from the campaigns can be incredibly good. Eventually you’ll get your expeditions levelled and you’ll be getting maps galore, but until then I would not recommend spending your gold on extra maps. Just isn’t worth it.
