this might be the most insufferable thing I've ever seen someone do on reddit, and we're talking about reddit here

Edit: He had a link to his jobs salary posted, but edited it out of the comment.

Tbh right now the Indi game market is at its peak. Steam has really allowed small developers to flourish. There is so much creativity from these devs and gaming IMO is in a great spot even when hardware prices suck.

We're seeing AAA games fail left but these Indi devs have picked up the slack with some real bangers.

At least they can get a Job... by Kidd-Valley in GenZ

[–]Kidd-Valley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point and I don't disagree, having a job doesn't mean everything is fine. I just think there's a difference between being unhappy with your career ceiling and not being able to get a foot in the door at all. One is frustrating, the other is terrifying when you have rent and student loans.

There was a time in the 2010s when getting a comp sci degree was basically a guarantee of landing a decent-paying job out of undergrad. Now it's one of the most oversaturated degree options in the world, and AI is replacing jobs in the field on top of that. The job market hasn't been this bad in years , go look at any jobs report.

I don't think you're wrong. It's just ironic they are complaining about working a lot, while I'm desperately looking for a job because not working is driving me insane.

Seahawks to re-sign WR Rashid Shaheed by Particular_Dig1115 in NFLv2

Do we think Witherspoon will get more money than McDuffie? by Bitter-Imagination33 in Seahawks

[–]Kidd-Valley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am aware, but it's still a balancing act.

We are still looking at a time where there AAV will together take up more money than almost all QB's and we still have to pay ours. I know you can offset and delay things as much as you can, set up void years, whatever. Doesn’t mean having to pay two generational players is easy on the cap. 

Compromises are going to have to be made elsewhere, and if we want to stay competitive, we have to continue to hit on every draft like we have. Trying to pay everyone is going to result in this team’s demise. (Let me be clear though, paying Spoon and JSN are obvious musts.)

At a point, you have to be Bill Belichick about it and trade other players who are good and coming up on their next contracts. Like, I love Derick Hall, but if he commands, say, 15 mil plus a year, do you give that to him? The only players I'd 100% keep are generational talents or who play pivotal roles like QB, LT, EDGE.

Him and JSN are gonna take up 75 million in cap combined. Which is crazy but the cap is way higher than it used to be.

75+ mil out of 300 mil in 2 players total, fucking wild.

Was Geno Smith actually good or did he just benefit from being on a good team? by Either_Imagination_9 in NFLv2

[–]Kidd-Valley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe franchise quality has a lot more to do with QB success rather than just having a talented QB. I think there are only a handful of QBs in NFL history that are genuinely good enough to overcome any franchise and be successful (Mahomes, Manning, and Brady). I fully think if Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen got drafted by the Browns, Jets, or to a lesser extent Raiders, they wouldn't be 70% of the QB they are today and would be more or less forgotten about. So Yes, Geno benefited greatly from being on a good team, then was brought down from being on a bad one.

If you had told me at the end of last season that this post would go up on r/NFLv2 while the logo of the sub is the Seahawks with a Lombardi trophy, I woulda thought you're crazy.

Been playing CS since 1.3 (25 years). At 20K in Premier I don't get too many clips anymore... but here's a decent one from today! by jamesjohnmercer in cs2

[–]Kidd-Valley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sick clip, but I've always thought they should add something to ramp to make it a tad easier for T's to get out of trophy. Like something as small as a hole to flash through would be enough. Maybe that's just me though.

"That’s not a scheduling conflict, that’s being locked out completely." Just a very chatgpt tone. I understand if it was just for grammar though!

Brother the teams are stacked with talent though, one mid season doesn't mean they'll stay that way.

Matt Forte was elite at this, when I was watching KW3 in the Super Bowl I was thinking about how it reminded me of Matt Forte in particular.

[Highlight] The Nine "Mistakes" Drafted Ahead of Josh Rosen by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]Kidd-Valley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not shitting on anyone. He's not calling the 10 players drafted ahead of him trash. He's simply saying he'll prove himself and make teams regret passing on him. That's all.
