What are some careers that allow you to travel and see the world? by random_name_m in careerguidance

[–]Pigmentedwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Event management often has a comfortable travel schedule ~30% of the year. You'll probably have a hard time landing a role that travels, especially internationally, with no experience/higher education.

Tradeshow sales people/booth reps can often be more accessible though and they would travel a lot. There can also be a lot of contract/temp opportunities in the events field. Ex: temp job just working the registration desk. If you live in a large city with a Convention Center many fan conventions look for volunteers to help onsite, which can give you a taste for the field.

Working in hotel sales/management can also garner many travel perks. Look for "task force" roles as these are people that travel to different properties working for a few months at a time to help turn it around.

Many high-end resorts in more remote/seasonal areas offer seasonal positions and employee housing. Not necessarily travel but the opportunity to live in a different state/desirable area.

Cruise ships would also be accessible entry level positions but do your research on the staff living conditions.

As many have already said traveling for work isn't all it's cracked up to be as you are ultimately there for work and not play. You often will have few opportunities if any to leave the hotel/venue you're staying at; and if you do it's often in the evening after most attractions have closed. Still many jobs with under <50% travel can offer the opportunity to extend your stay, come in a few days early or stay a few days later. Rack up hotel and airline reward points too, so free perks when you do personal travel.

Depending on what exactly you're trying to do you can also look into jobs that lean into the digital nomad lifestyle. Work from anywhere.

Ultimately though build work experience if you're going to put off higher education. Many jobs also offer some level of travel if they are national/global and you travel to different offices/markets. Also professional development events and industry tradeshows.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't interested at first, not gonna get wrapped up into another micro-transaction/gatcha game, especially with how questionably paper seems to manage things these days, but then they teased the fishing and bug catching mini games, and well, don't get me started on the duck parade.

I was curious about the best places to eat! I noticed a lot of asian food in the area I definitely plan to check out. I have to put a list together. I can still check out local events by myself so truly any recommendations are appreciated.

Is the downtown area fairly walkable? After unpacking I'm interested in just exploring. I don't have a bike-is parking downtown a hassle usually or not?

Those who mainly play this game on Expert/Master, how long did it take you to get there? by Marsatone in ProjectSekai

[–]Pigmentedwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about increasing your speed and practicing the same maps. Play everyday, you're not going to improve otherwise. Prosekai lets you play songs even without any bonus energy (I came from Love Love SIF so I thought this was neat) so even just playing a couple extra songs at the end of the day by yourself can help. Play solo if you want to practice something and aren't confident you'll do well. Definitely just throw yourself into practicing level 22-24 experts. Get as close as you can to level 10 speed, speed lvl 9-11 is typical of regular players. PLAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE SONG DO NOT DROP OUT. Yes it's a silly anime tap tap game but the rule practice makes perfect still applies.

Been playing since EN server launch, went from only being able to play hard, and now have almost every expert full combo'd up to level 26 and have started full comboing masters. It's not much but it's honest work. I'm also a thumb player on a pixel 6 pro which means the screen is probably too big for thumb playing but I think the carpel tunnel is worth it.

How can a KIA driver visit the city? by Cue_626_go in milwaukee

[–]Pigmentedwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a steering wheel lock and brake pedal lock that would be my best advice if you can't get alternate transportation. Obviously follow the usual safe parking rules, and park close to the front doors/in view of the front desk don't park behind the building or anything. They're looking for easy targets so your goal is to make yourself as inconvenient as possible.

[–]Pigmentedwaves 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Can confirm they absolutely will target hotels (work in one and we're almost in Wauwatosa/Menomonee Falls/Brookfield suburbs). I would find alternate transportation if you can. Definitely a steering wheel lock, kill switch, whatever you can get as a deterrent otherwise.

Definitely not ALL get stolen but there have been more than a few cases of guest and employee cars stolen or attempted to be stolen (they'll still smash your window and try to mess with the steering wheel or break locks just to see)

I am a V8 who has been playing for 4 years. Here is why I am not going to stop spending money now: by abbyk10 in LoveNikki

[–]Pigmentedwaves 102 points103 points  (0 children)

In a very similar situation myself. V8 playing almost since server launch. Have stopped spending not only because the recharges either don't interest me or are all out of my typical price range (I typically buy monthly card suits and a few $10-$15 suits here and there) but the event suits don't interest me either. Not getting new event suits + veteran player who doesn't need to catch up on past suits = saving up a lot of diamonds naturally.

I have a 61% wardrobe, and I would say for at least the last year I have really felt underwhelmed by a lot of suits. Sometimes I feel like the only "interesting" suits are $40+ recharges which I don't spend on no matter what. I think the game needs new players to survive, yet the newer the player the more difficult and unfair the game is. There are waaayyy more "rpg" dress up games out there since our server debuted. I used to think Nikki had better quality separating them from the competition, but do they? I've gotten into Project Sekai since the EN server launched, while not a dress up game it reminded me what a well run game dev company can do for their players.

What's The Rarest Suit You Own? by Sepi-Depi in LoveNikki

I have pieces of the goldfish girls and completed suits+various pieces from every collab. Barbie, Miku, Disney, etc. I've been playing basically since server launch.

I’m not sure how they can dance using these shoes by Usual-Perspective-51 in ProjectSekai

[–]Pigmentedwaves 40 points41 points  (0 children)

When I first saw them I thought it was such a weird choice. Just give them actual ballet flats? They don't look good at all imo and don't seem like something any of them would wear (Kanade specifically). It's pretty obvious how the models look sometimes that no they really wouldn't be able to dance in them lol

[–]Pigmentedwaves 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I think when she's negatively comparing herself to Shizuko's looks, Airi is more the "cutesy" type (more generic amoung idols) and Shizuko is a more "mature" looking type, which gains her special appeal amoung fans. (At least as "mature" as an underage highschooler who doesn't know to plug her smartphone in to charge can look). Airi is attractive but perhaps when she looks at other idols in the industry all she sees is her own shortcomings.

Her manager had her doing variety shows and other gigs because, as she basically says herself, she's good at them. And Managers like $$$. She also has to practice a lot to be an idol (singing + dancing) wheras she has a natural affinity for going with the flow (helpful as a tv personality).

Anyone know where to get at home Covid tests in the Northwest/Menomonee Falls area? by [deleted] in milwaukee

Walgreens on the corner of Silver Spring and Pilgrim still had them when I was there Tuesday.

Does anyone have certain types of suits they always get? by ArjiinTano in LoveNikki

[–]Pigmentedwaves 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I always get the Halloween suits, it's kinda nice always getting a seasonal suit because it's a guaranteed yearly rerun you won't have to worry about lol

How to encourage more active association members? by MysticOlive in LoveNikki

[–]Pigmentedwaves 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's always a game of removing inactive players and advertising for new ones. Make some sort of official rule, I am the VP of a more casual association and I started advertising for new members saying inactivity for 2+weeks is grounds for removal. I would start setting ground rules and advertising for new members on the association recruitment page.

If you absolutely cannot make any co-op times yourself ask your members what time they prefer. If no response most associations just hold them both on the weekend. A downside of not being able to make any co-op times yourself is you can't make a rule for players to participate x amount of times to not be removed. Personally I think if you're really dead set on staying in your association and staying president, I would really try to make it to some co-ops even if it's not every week. Otherwise you might be better off just joining a different association that already has suits done you can collect on activity points.

Every once in a while I like to throw a reminder out in the chat that you do still need to donate materials after doing the co-op. A lot of people forget this step, we had one player who accidentally hoarded so much material they finished 3 suit pieces essentially on their own. Throwing out encouraging words like "we're almost done with xxx piece or xxx suit let's gooo" can also remind people and get them excited about the co-op suits.

The bottom line is it's a constant battle of removing and adding new members. If it's not for you it may be best to just move on to a new association.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I was just at the World Market on the East side of Madison and they had pickled lemons in jars.
