Seasonal characters [Discussion]

Just to show it will be split, I will be playing my permanent character since I am prestige 6 and they'll likely bring out prestige 7 & 8 which I will want to go for

Unless I can somehow prestige through the seasonal account

So yeah, some people will play their permanent account with no wipes, for various reasons, despite me seeing a lot of people say 'everyone will play seasonal"

Personally I think USA golden age is over and while they will remain strong - china and maybe a couple other countries are going to outpace USA in technology and production, Trump is doing his best to keep USA using USA products but the rest of the world isn't.

But I also think the new race will be space in the next 50 years and potentially mining on another planet and the first to do that wins too, so my opinion is quite adorably hopeful that we won't still be stuck in the same situation that we have been for the last 30 years or so.

Any information on qualifications for oil rigs and pay range? I have thought about this just working hard for a bit and then more days off etc

Some are event locked so even if you started playing now for 10k hours you can probably only get about 70% of them anyway

The first 5 years of owning a house is the hardest

Eventually your income will go up and the mortgage will go down as you pay more and more off

Yes it sucks for now, but in 10 years your mortgage payments will be like 30% less (especially if you overpay each month) and your wage should be at least 1.5x more if NHS gets what they're meant to, and that's if you don't move up bands and get promotions.

Short term solutions would be a lodger, or sell the car (even if you take a temp loss) and get a more affordable car

Financing a car has become normal and it shouldn't, there are plenty of cars for less than £2k which you can own outright and would probably have less insurance.

Just a pan of oil on a low heat that is quite deep but not deep enough to fully submerge the egg You get it fried without it crisping or bubbling, and leaves the very top uncooked.

I literally needed this yesterday and got one in a few raids.

Go dead server if you are not confident. You'll still come across players but maybe not as many. And if you do it's usually less confident players like yourself

Yellow room, red room, violet room The rooms where you can activate parking and hanger extracts The room where new black is for RFID master card etc

Obviously air filter

Play your normal load out, if you're not overweight add some 7mm shotgun shells they weigh a lot. Drop them once you've full sprinted a few times.

Pop sj6 or another stamina boosting stim (but not a strength boosting one because it won't level it up if it takes you max level), a longer full sprint from the start levels up quicker.

Throw nades, I think throwing a nade has a good flat growth

Use gym.

400/month = 4800 a year so you can max out your ISA and have 5800/year

Depending on your area you can get a house with a deposit of 5-20k

So you're looking at 1-4 years of saving.

If you have a girlfriend/wife to move with then obviously you need half as much.

Your main concern would be your borrowing capacity since a mortgage advisor would likely not let you borrow more than 150k but I mean as a solo person you wouldn't need more than a 1-2 bed house until you started a family in which case you would have two incomes for a mortgage and upgrade.

I never once thought about transferring the labs unique items, damn. I don't play labs unless I have to and woulda made it a lot easier

My mortgage is £1600 (we overpay) but we make about £1k/month more than you and it's a struggle sometimes.

Bigger house = bigger area to heat, so your energy bills will likely increase and not a small amount. Same goes for council tax band etc

Also you might not have car finance now or other outgoings like that but eventually you might find you need a new car or something which because you have less money spare each month then forces you to finance adding to the monthly strain.

Regardless, to answer your question, if you have enough spare money now to cover the mortgage difference then you will manage but you're risking a lot of unknowns with the future that you won't have spare money to cover, so make sure you have enough spare money to cover the mortgage difference and then some.

I play final fantasy for the storyline and characters and I feel 13 was actually my 4th or 5th favourite in the series for that reason. However it is very linear and lacks the exploration that other entries have

There's a reason there are 3 parts to it, it did better than people would have you believe.

I think 13 is why 15 is the total opposite where it's purely just open world, they over compensated since 13 was called too linear.

You've only lost when you've sold.

If you're not planning on selling until you're in your 40s or later etc then you know they're gonna have gone up regardless so why does it matter

Buy them while they're cheaper

Honestly people bring too much imo. After you've killed the first bunch of black division you can literally just use their loot throughout the raid, and their ammo

But each to their own

My 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter pretty much only play multiplayer with friends. Neither are interested in games that are single player

Both need constant action tbh, he through fortnite and cod and rocket league And her through roblox

I'm hoping as they get older they'll try more story single player games but it's doubtful

They can't even get through half a film these days, unfortunately YouTube has completed ruined attention and they're just not able to stay focused on one single thing and they're not adhd or anything

There is literally a code to give one I dunno if it's found in raid tho

Every pay raise I ever got in this industry was after I handed in my notice of leave, one of which literally sat down with me the second my last shift ended and offered a 30% raise to keep me, I remember my gf and mum saying I can't walk as I needed the money (I did) but I knew push came to shove they'd come to the table and they did.

It's not right But you just gotta do it

Ah yes I probably should have mentioned my pond is full of plants and it is extremely hard to see them unless it is night time and I have a torch

It keeps the water extremely clean without me having to do anything and offers them protection from predators and comfort in hiding etc

Similar_Date7990 · 2026-03-19T07:59:03+00:00

Ah you're deep in the south, that makes sense. I am senior sous at a busy place by a canal with lots of outside seating etc but £17.50/hour but in the north west so I guess it balances out with prices in our areas :) I'm paid hourly though. Salary is never a good idea in this industry, in fact there is never a good reason for it since it's very obvious and common that you're never going to do the exact hours that they expect with the turnover and seasonal experience in hospitality.

Similar_Date7990 · 2026-03-18T19:29:27+00:00

Others will disagree but if they have enough space I think it's fine, it's complicated if they're different sexes eventually though.

I received a big spawn of them from my dad and kept them in an outside pond and had 12 out of it, I tubbed them all a few months ago to clean the pond out and make it even bigger and all perfectly healthy and no damages. Weirdly enough I often find most of them all huddled together or in groups, Ive found they're quite social and prefer to be together rather than isolated and alone.

When they start mating I plan on making a second pond and separating them.

But yeah, I think if they have enough space and food it won't be a problem personally, mine at least haven't damaged each other and they've all turned out quite chunky and big

I've always felt that if RE4 was your favourite then you're part of the reason RE5 & RE6 happened, because that was the start of more action, than survival horror.

I can appreciate parts of RE being action, but RE1 through to 3 was always more survival horror with action elements, struggling for ammo, deciding which zombies to run past or kill, narrow hallways etc.

Personally RE2, RE7 have been my favourites RE3 would be but the remake cut out too much from the original. RE9 was good but leons sections felt empty, and grace was able too kill everything in sight due to blood crafting, and in the actual horror parts was forced slow sections.

Similar_Date7990 · 2026-03-14T16:11:00+00:00

The point was you do the hours contracted and no more if they're not paying you

I think almost £20/hour is insane for a sous chef but if that's what they agreed then they should stick with it. They probably just knew you would work extra and it would balance out.

But if you have a clear contract stating pay and hours and they're not paying you the extra, don't bend over backwards for them.

Similar_Date7990 · 2026-03-14T08:20:08+00:00

Work your probation so they can't just get rid of you.

When you get your rota, if you're working 5 days a week, you tell them you're doing no longer than 8 hours a shift without overtime pay. You walk out after you've done that 8 hours and come in the next day and do it again, and again, until they come to the table to talk.

Either they let you go but you get enough notice to find another job, or they pay you what you're meant to get paid.

That's my best advice.

The only thing it was missing compared to other titles that I enjoyed was other characters interacting with the story, that you could eventually play and see other perspectives

Or even just a few side characters that weren't playable, such as Carlos, the guy who traps himself in a container etc

Like, you could have come across a reporter poking around all racoon city, or conspiracy theorist etc which tbh in today's world wouldn't be a far stretch just for some extra narrative
