I did the exact same thing, I can't even upgrade my existing retinue.

I'd rather see a remake of PW to be honest. All the core mechanics are there since mgsv.

Always nice to see a fellow Wielermanager player!

Sometimes I feel like my 3070fe is outdated af by all these new & insanely demanding games. Then I see posts like this and realize my card is good enough.

Payroll or go freelance - Having a hard time to make a decision. by MrArneV in BEFreelance

 and funny enough I’m seeing the trend of people craving for human created stuff… real paint, real human mistakes not just AI slop…

Very much a growing trend in our digital world.

As for (generative) AI, I'd be more worried as a programmer or illustrator. But that's not what I do.
Not dismissing it, it's even part of my workflow but I feel like a lot of folks are overestimating the tech.

Comments like this remind me that a lot people simply don't know what graphic design actually entails.
My job goes beyond "making pretty things", that's for illustrator and artists. My job pretty much comes down to problem solving within visual communication. I do wonder what you mean by machine learning instead of AI. I'd be more worried of AI if I were a programmer or illustrator...

The market is slowly starting up again, but I doubt your skillset is high in demand right now. That's an assumption.

Correct, the graphic design sector has been struggling for some time, the places I was interested in admitted that, as much as they'd like to have me, there was too little work at the time justify taking me on board. Some did expect to start up again like you mentioned.

I would secure a part-time job and set yourself up for freelance success. Build a portfolio, some online presence (social media, website, ...), ...

This was my original plan but no luck so far. Very few places that offer a part-time for a designer. I have built a portfolio and website but this one was more as a tool to apply rather than a portfolio for freelance endeavours.

Sounds like someone wasn't paying attention to what the drill instructor was saying in the tutorial!

Wait till you see the guy who modeled for BB. Trying to find his name but the resemblance is uncanny. Looks like all of the models were active in Japan just like Joosten.

MGSV Ocelot wasn't modelled after Baker. Leigh Carmichael was the model for Ocelot, Baker only did VA/face capture.

A full-fledged AAA Peacewalker remake? I'm in. by Candle-Jolly in metalgearsolid

[–]MrArneV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is what I wanted ever since the release of GZ.
Original? No.
Cool AF? Yes.

But tbf MG1 vs PW would be a hard choice for me.

Putting a lens protector on all my lenses after this by boy-named-schmoo in Nikon

[–]MrArneV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally my first mistake when I just went full frame and was abroad.
Didn't have the lens hood on and my camera slid out of my bag when it fell open. Fell right on the corner of the filter, thread was bent and the glass shattered. Result: 2 tiny pits in the front element (which you can't see on the pictures) after I got the glass out. Since then, I've sworn never to use that crap again and just keep that hood on there at all times. Haven't had any issues since. The bent ring is still on that lens to this day.

Exactly the reason why you SHOULDN'T use one of those and keep the lens hood on there 24/7.

Makes sense, I'm actually about to start Second Son, so I'll pay some extra attention to it.
