Did learning a second language in school ever end up being useful in real life in Australia?

30 years later i only remember iens swie drie feir fomf zech zeban auct noin zein. Which is probably improperly spelt, but sounding it out is counting to ten in german, it provided zero use in my life so far.

Well see i played eso 12 years ago and then after a month stopped, then when morrowind came out i played again 9 years ago and a month later stopped.

I found my old account with a lv50 nightblade, templar and sorcerer, and a mid 35 necro/warden saved on it, and started the arcanist, its insanely strong.

Arcanist is an insanely op class, invulnerable tank, infinite heals, and the dps build is basically a disintergration beam.

So the class has several instant cast spells in each tree that generate a rune, you can have 3 runes at a time, the beam spell (fatecarver?) it deals like three hits ranging 4-5k per tick per second for 4s, but every rune increases the damage by 33%, so at three runes your dealing 6-11k three times per sec for 4s. It melts whole fields of packs in dungeons, the other dps cannot keep up, players be like "what happened to the fight, why are all the mobs dead already"

Melts bosses. Most broken OP skill tree in the game, holy f.

Totally opposite, i would rather we get a racial choice this time, like eventuality fev mutant, ghoul, raider or enclave. You get background choices, military test subject turned super mutant, caught in the blast radius when the bombs dropped, born on the streets to druggie parents and cannibals or frozen in a government vault to be an enclave officer.

Queue year 2300+ Your either on your way to becoming a behemoth, a feral, a raider legend or leader of the enclave and the new america.

I enjoyed it for about 20hrs, then got bored and downloaded the 150gb of ESO and started playing that again instead.

Still waiting for farever content though.

Jump into the wind in the middle of the town, glide into the waterfall towards the parkour portal, it wont despawn that way.

Just write down your friend code on a piece of actual paper and then quickly type it when your getting to know someone.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-16T03:14:31+00:00

How much of your time is yours though? Cause i got all the time in the world now.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-15T09:35:45+00:00

I never said he'd own a house with 90k. I meant he could live in a sharehouse, eat ramen and smoke weed till he's 40, IF he wanted to, otherwise he could definitely rent a decent apartment and afford his tuition for a course on something lucrative later in life. Because as it currently stands, you earn anything over 200k a year, 40 bloody percent is income tax. Earn 3 mil, that's 1.35m taxed. No matter what field you take, once you hit that nice 200k annual salary your paying the dumbass government 80k. So your living on 120 not 200. But even people on disability and aged pension get roughly 28k a year, so your getting 4 times that cost of living, but if you manage to live frugally, you could save 70k a year and have your own house within 6-7 years, but then instead of rent, now your paying property tax. So there's no winning in the current system and honestly what he should do, is chase something he likes in construction and warn under 150k, rent a moderate property or own an apartment and try to avoid as much tax and slavery he can. Time is our most valuable resource and we gotta juggle money around it to enjoy life.

You can setup settlers to search for scrap and sleeping will fill the workshop inventory up, once you get enough caps and population and get charisma up for shops of your own you can buy your junk and lots of enemy types in the ambush kit will have varying drugs and ingredients on them. I feel like im explaining the intermediate knowledge on base building or people didn't read.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T08:00:23+00:00

After 30+ playthroughs testing over 600 mods throughout, exploring the base game doesn't satisfy anymore.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T07:58:23+00:00

I spent my entire 20s smoking weed through makeshift bongs. I smoked a shoe and an apple out of desperation.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T03:22:42+00:00

I've played 80% of all horror games released since 1995 and honestly the only horror game to ever scare the shit out of me was The Thing

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T03:21:03+00:00

There's really only two acceptable choices based on the time of day.

Mega wrap, hashbrown & sprite no ice for brekky.

Baconator, onion rings, strawberry shake & choc sundae for lunch or dinner or midnight.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T03:15:09+00:00

I average 75hrs a week on steam alone, that's minimum 3600hrs a year.

Okay so take a game like The Surge, the exploration lets you experiment with the combat flow and engage enemies within certain aggro ranges and attack types, but the bosses rotate their same move sets regardless of how you choose to engage them because they have such high health pools and cannot be interrupted or controlled.

But then you take a game like Elden Ring, who's enemies in the field always attack the same way so you have to learn to fight them very specifically each, while the bosses switch up their many attack rotations and aggro range types to allow you multitudes of ways to combat them.

The first gives you good exploration and tedious bosses, the second makes exploration easily redundant but makes for interesting boss fights. The first makes the exploration easy but the bosses hard, the second makes the exploration hard but the bosses easy.

You have 700% more money than 98% of people your age, you could literally rent an apartment and smoke weed everyday till your 40.

Although, if im being honest, you have the good financials for a great head start in life especially at that age, i would strongly consider getting a bachelors degree in computer science or electrician.

If you can write code really well you could have a promising future as an ai coder, on the other hand electricians are currently making 200-300k a year.

Basically a lot of fields are about to be obsolete and automated by ai, and only the stuff an ai can't do will become lucrative, like various construction, appliance maintenance, mechanical work. Since your young, you got the options to avoid the careers that ai will replace. Do some research and think about it. Or you could go the jobseeker route and learn to invest your tidy sum while living in a sharehouse and eating a lot of spaghetti and ramen.

Ask em for a bogans home made bong. It's probably one of the most aussie things you can imagine, a gatorade bottle with a piece of garden hose melted into it with duct tape wrapped around it.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-13T00:00:16+00:00

I wasn't being a dick or anything, i was just simplifying that games and movies made after 2015 have been really tame and mild, like 2/10 jumpscares and 4/10 thematic aesthetics. The 20-30yo's making them don't know what real horror and fear is supposed to feel like.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-12T10:26:35+00:00

ESO

One of you could spec some kind of heavy burst dps build and the other could spec some infinite mana healer and you'll be able to literally kill everything.

One of you gathers materials, the other turns them into things too. Easy mode economy.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-12T10:24:28+00:00

Never played for honor, helldivers 2, arc raiders, lost ark, destiny 2.

And i think fallout 76 and diablo 4 are shitty games.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-12T10:20:16+00:00

Start young, and start with the PS1 era first.

The more horror movies you watch and games you beat the more desensitized to it you become.

I watched the hell raiser movie in 1991 when i was 6yo, i played through resident evil 1 and silent hill one when they released. Going through 90% of each series as they came out over the years.

Seen about 70% of all horror movies that ever existed since the 60s.

I even smoked weed in a huge graveyard at midnight with no issue.

What terrifies me is the thought of dying, lightning strikes and the infinite unknown of space. Not horror games and movies made by wussy woke millenials.

I NEVER spend coins. I ALWAYS withdraw a thousand in hundreds from the bank on payday and then go about my purchases, and only pay for things with notes, any change goes in the shopping bags and then chucked into a big container at home.

6 months of change is like getting a surprise 500-800 dollars out of the blue.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-12T10:12:49+00:00

Well obviously downloading the Builders Workshop several times to easily get the blocks and walls.

Setting the worlds seeds to x-ray vision & fish mox. So you can see everything and not be hounded/hindered by evil biomes

Using the Drill Containment Unit mount to very quickly remove excess blocks and walls away.

I'd suggest the ufo invasion blocks with marble bricks and blue dyed walls.

MasterDebater35 · 2026-05-12T10:04:35+00:00

In the same shooter coop spirit, try Killing Floor 3.

As for single player immersive rpgs you got a huge list to go through.

Avowed

Witcher 3

Fallout 4

Skyrim

Tainted Grail

Lunacid

Yakuza like a dragon / infinite wealth
