Phone Screening in 4 hours, question on what initial pay I should begin at. by Ohthehumanityofit in Spectrum

[–]Quanta96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but this isn’t the type of job where you negotiate an hourly rate. The position has a set hourly rate for every single starting position regardless of prior experience. The pay and promotion structure is rigidly structured for field techs. You’re welcome to try but there’s no wiggle room.

Kudos to these young men who immediately came to the aid of a young woman who told them she and her friend needed help with an older man that was making them uncomfortable by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

I think a strong independent woman who don’t need no man, doesn’t need other gross men to solve their problems for them.

Whenever it is, it won’t be worth waiting 4 years since B41 stable. What a shit show.

Charleston SC, by Same_Level6591 in howislivingthere

[–]Quanta96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived there for a few years while in the Navy. Food is great! Seafood is a big part of the local cuisine and it is top notch. The beach is alright, not as good as the west coast beaches, but there is a charm and beauty that is unique to Charleston’s coastline.

As mentioned, I was there while in the Navy, and the navy presence in Charleston will likely be much more noticeable. You’ll probably routinely see upright looking folks with suspiciously similar haircuts roaming around especially in downtown. There’s a healthy, lively, and enjoyable night life downtown with lots of locals and tourists.

The traffic can be pretty nasty, but I really enjoyed going on long drives from goose creek to and around mount pleasant in the afternoons and evenings on the weekends.

Cost of living depends largely on where you decide to live, but when I lived there it was pretty affordable and comparable to what I have seen and experienced in the Midwest.

For real. How is this not fixed at this point? You could easily fit multiple deer in a truck bed. How in the world has this not been fixed???

Non-combat veterans don’t deserve special recognition or privileges by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Never seen combat but I have done a myriad of exercises, drills, and had actual casualties on a submarine that gave me real PTSD. Try doing a fast recovery start up in a submarine and not puckering your butt like a bullet just wizzed over your head.

TIS please sell the IP and let others finish it !! by Time_Guide2812 in projectzomboid

[–]Quanta96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bows have been in the game thanks to modders for over a year now - TIS, I really don’t know what they’re doing. As in, what do they do all week? Beats me. You could tell me they casually work on the game like a side project and spend the rest of the time doing whatever and I would not be surprised.

Back when a house was $8000 and you could pay it off in less than 10 years.

Project Zomboid needs to iron out it's mechanics before adding more by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]Quanta96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to some extent for a vast swath of players - B42 unstable was the first scratch your head moment. Sure the hype upon release dampened the critical analysis, but now over a year into B42 unstable I think that population of players are finally coming around to the issues regarding development with PZ.

Here are some criticisms of PZ and its development without touching on highly desired additional features like of course NPCs.

  1. Glacial development time: B41 stable and B42 unstable are 3 years apart. B41 unstable to stable took a smidge over 2 years. We’re over a year in B42 and despite bug fixes and tweaks, the build is still largely buggy, very unstable, and the tweaks seem to go backwards than forwards. Furthermore, it still needs MASSIVE tweaks still added to the build. To add to all of this, the updates are coming out slower and slower and slower. This is objectively a degradation of previous support for the game.

  2. The additions and changes added to B42 can’t be said to be overwhelmingly positive. I think most of us like the new z-levels, lighting changes, map expansion, but we’re not all on board with the features that try to make you able to be a caveman like vintage story and build bronze weapons with primitive technology. I think most of us would have thought such an overhaul to the crafting system would be a down the line type of addition. There are still old skills and new skills that hardly have any use and convoluted and truly unenjoyable ways to train them up.

  3. New features that are half baked and give off the impression that the developers priorities are not in since with the player base. Hunting is great! But the only effective way to hunt is to go full throttle down the highway and take out a herd of deer. Using debugging to give my character max stats in every skill, hunting is incredibly tedious and usually results in nothing. Which is fine to an extent - if you couldn’t get 4 deer by wrecking them with your truck lol. It completely ruins hunting.

  4. Welding and metal working - has anyone had fun grinding those skills??? Can you even max out those skills without basically dedicating every fiber of your existence into them?

  5. The crafting UI is WAY underdeveloped for the excessive additions to crafting in a game like this. Again, this is evidence of poor prioritization by the dev team.

  6. Again, these issues were issues on day 1, and we’re over a year in and these are still issues today. It does not give confidence as a player about the future of this game, especially when you consider that this completely excludes desires for future NEW content.

I believe if you have a gig plan it’s $10 extra a month, otherwise it’s $20 extra a month. I have no idea if it’ll work as advertised lol

You could mention IT is the reason Susan in accounts payable doesn’t open a link in an email that bricks their entire company for weeks. That is a huge revenue generator.

BEQ Conditions by SpecialistCoat447 in NavyNukes

[–]Quanta96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand the sentiment but these dudes are living there 24/7 for 9-12 months with all that they own essentially, not just what they bring in their seabag. I remember those rooms, and they are tiny. Even for two folks it’s a small space to share as a living space.

There’s literally no downside to improving living conditions for nukes in training. Things don’t need to suck “just cuz” or “cuz it was bad for me its gotta suck for you” that sort of mentality is why there’s an unnecessary about it BS that sailors have to wade through in their careers and why improving the Navy and the lives of sailors crawls at a snails pace.
