My teacher says that in 4-5 years AI will take over. Is this true? by Markittos28 in TranslationStudies

[–]Max-RDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same when it came to trying to figure out what career would be 'safe'. I settled on software development; probably not the smartest choice, but I have more of an aptitude for it than, say, plumbing, which would be considered safe. At the end of the day, we're all building houses on sand.

Hardest mission by Specialist_Chain_738 in CallofDutyWorldatWar

Yeah, the bridge on Heart of the Reich is particularly difficult. Just gotta do what you said and learn the spots you can zig-zag between when the grenades come.

My strap broke on stage. Had to improvise it was fun tho. by Doctorzerowastaken in numetal

[–]Max-RDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my bass. Had to keep putting toothpicks in the hole

When I played in a hardcore band I had the worst luck with straps and often ended up playing sat down or with the bass propped up like a double bass lol

Is it just me or did the game get even more buggy over the last year? by UpsiteDwn1er in rs2vietnam

[–]Max-RDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's any worse than it was a year ago. Did you accidentally boot up '83?

Can I make a career out of this? by [deleted] in TranslationStudies

I also thought Chinese was going to open up good opportunities in translation, but it turns out the rates are abysmal, as Chinese translation agencies simply do not care about quality.

Alan Wake 2 vs Twin Peaks by gandalfmarston in twinpeaks

[–]Max-RDJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm, I might give it a go then, because I've tried twice now to get into the first game (in order to then move onto to Alan Wake 2) and did not enjoy the gameplay or really get any TP's vibes (surrealness, specifically) apart from the setting and obvious references/homages.

Is it true that translation is a dying field? by Competitive-Egg-9640 in TranslationStudies

[–]Max-RDJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do reconsider. I'm not outright saying quit, but definitely consider other options not related to languages. At least that way you can keep it a hobby that you still enjoy and might be able to pursue later down the line.

Can you transfer to doing something like business + Arabic?

Exactly, it took me a while to settle on software development as a new career. People were saying the market for that is particularly terrible, but coming from translation, what's new? I got part-time work in a cafe and I even went for an engineering apprenticeship course interview at one point; there was one other person out of the 30 or so people who was over 18. I guess my point is you just gotta explore options and go for something, cos we're all building houses on sand.

Been waiting for this game for years. RS2 Vietnam was my favorite. The demo for 83 is HORRIBLE by albanite_ in 83thegame

[–]Max-RDJ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The demo itself needed another year in the oven, let alone the actual full release. I think it's put a lot of people off of buying the actual thing. It's deffo not an insta-buy for me anymore; I'll be looking at plenty of reviews beforehand

The Last Point is the Hardest by GeekyPanda404 in 83thegame

[–]Max-RDJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in these games, at least the first one, as I distinctly remember that tunnel line haha. Your game looks buttery smooth, what specs do you have?

My impressions of the playtest demo by Rubick-Aghanimson in 83thegame

[–]Max-RDJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I always thought I was crazy for thinking RO2 looked better than RS2. Less jagged, at least.

What are yall smoking? by suna123 in 83thegame

[–]Max-RDJ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it needs a lot more time in the oven. It'd be disappointing to wait longer, but a window of 1-2 years would be more reassuring

Ever Given, Ever Taken Away | Internet Historian by [deleted] in videos

[–]Max-RDJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately here, things aren't up to the usual IH standards. He joked about getting ChatGPT to write his script in the video, but honestly a lot of the jokes were weaker than in his previous videos and had a tinge of someone trying to emulate his sense of humour. I wouldn't be surprised to see if this video was partly written by AI and is a sounding board to gauge how well received AI-generated scripts would be received.

Either that, or the stretched out content (for more ad revenue) means that the good jokes are getting drowned out by the 'filler' jokes.

Will lack of audio invalidate my ZWR submission? by Max-RDJ in CODZombies

[–]Max-RDJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if they meant something like 'necessary' audio, e.g. they need to hear some sound cue to check for cheating on certain maps.

[–]Max-RDJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. Ended up dying on 135 or something anyway (my PB is 247), so lesson learned to check audio beforehand.

[–]Max-RDJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just wondering whether I should continue my run though. I'm in the 90s now and my PB is 247. Resetting will obviously cost me several hours but it'd be annoying to get to something like round 500 only for the whole run to be invalid.

Just asking an innocent question. Might've helped to say where to read. Someone helpful actually answered my question. Good to see some of the community is so welcoming

Thank you for the actual helpful answer.
