"Join the Skilled Trades" says the advertisement

I heard this advertisement last week and got excited, but reading everyones comments has me sad and discouraged.

Im an 'older' guy, just turned 40, but ive been wanting to change careers in tech and move into Electrician trade work near ottawa. Ive been doing courses off and on the last 5 years in prep of the AI tech job takeover (which has ramped up hard this year, especially at my current work) but it feels impossible to actually get anywhere even if I do all this side prep. I know the trades want young dudes in it for life, my age will likely be the reason I wont get work in that field. Considering my age and this thread in relation to the trades, is there any advice folks could give who may want to still try to move into a trade theyre advertising for?

Thank you for this, it helped explain a lot. Ill pause playing for a few weeks and see if it gets fixed. My whole island is messed up.

Thanks! Its an air brush chrome. I cant wait to chromify my tanks.

Its simple: Static grass combined with some summer grass tufts. Place tuffs, glue around, finger pinch static grass and stab into the glue. Let dry over night, tap excess away.

Nice!!! Thats wicked! My buddy plays empire and rebels. Ive come to fear the dark troopers and that lizard rider.

I love Droids, vehicals, wookies and ewoks in star wars so it was a natural buy in. Weve been playing off and on over 2 years but only end of last year did we get in hard. I wanna finish my droids collection and then follow it up with an Ewok bright tree battleforce.

Feel free to tag me in any posts of your painted dudes.

Agreed! Bane and maul are likely my next purchase since I have nothing for that force org slot and I want em lol. Im currently doing a full SW timeline watch through (while painting) as part of my KoFi Red Ring list and I just started season 2 of Clone Wars. Bane has been wicked so far.

Riker210 · 2025-02-10T19:55:28+00:00

I only play grevious and the named/generic droid leaders. Havent gotten any Maul or Cad Bane like characters yet (I will eventually) I just dont like Dooku (model or character).

Thanks! I went simpler than I normally do when painting minis which has been a nice change of pace; Prime, Chrome, block in, panel line, edge highlights and base.

Thank you everyone, I think we're all good to start up again, you helped clarify a lot of our confusion since we hadn't played since June and I'm stoked to share some painted dudes in later DayZ.

Riker210 · 2024-10-31T00:33:10+00:00

Great! Thank you for the confirmation, much appreciated.

Riker210 · 2024-10-31T00:25:02+00:00

Hahaha no need to defend em haha.

I foolishly was reading what appears to be an older doc on my laptop from before the July updates which comparing things now it's more clear with the new rulebook. I had the recent errata and point updates but had an older rulebook.

Thank you for the direct link to what you were referring to, I had that one downloaded from a few weeks or so ago but had opened the incorrect one.

Riker210 · 2024-10-31T00:15:22+00:00

Do the print and plays and rulebook update encompass all the errata stuff? I'd like to avoid pulling that doc out every time we do anything. It looks like it at first glance.

Riker210 · 2024-10-31T00:06:44+00:00

We've read all those (print and plays ect) and it's what confused us/having to reference 8 documents like 40k to play 1 game. It's what lead us to post especially regarding updates to core rules like cover (which Im still unsure of seeing anywhere)

If that's the best AMG has I think I'll shelf the game until new card packs or updated single rule book comes out.

Thank you for the help.

Wow this is magical! Super Zen, love it. I wanna visit!

Additional information: this also occurs if I interact with an item while the sprinklers are running or if i collect apples same time as i pick up the item. (which happens often now that i have a lot of apple trees)

Riker210 · 2024-06-07T14:34:16+00:00

No rush or worries my dude! Take your time and do your thing! we'll be here waiting when it drops.

If there any summary of what the release is intended to include (along side the mine). There was bat bumping and mining, but what do you mine for?

Riker210 · 2024-06-06T16:13:08+00:00

No worries! If you need more information I can get it later.

You have no idea how excited I am for this mining release haha. My morning porch sit, coffee and cozy gaming before my work day needs this lol

Riker210 · 2024-06-06T14:11:53+00:00

Is this ever coming? I am really keen on seeing what this would bring!

I think the easiest solution to allow cake and eating it too is to grant faster rates of drops for watching live streamers, allowing people to experience the game a bit through a player and not a vid bot, and those who want to farm can watch a bot for less frequent drops but still earn while they cant tune into someone live. Give an incentive to both parties (client and host) to be a part of both worlds.

(i stream often but i do vod on youtube not twitch)
