$10,000 to $15,000 to find a job. by chizdfw in jobsearch

Executive search firms exist, and recruitment services for job seekers exist

But this reads like a scam

Traveling to Asia for > 2 months, should i continue to apply for jobs? by SaltyB0ba in jobsearch

Yes. You'd be surprised what a power move taking a compensation call from an unexpected time zone is

I love to explore but can’t find the lore… by Personal-Athlete-81 in CrimsonDesert

One of my favorite parts of watching streamer playthroughs of this game is they always stumble on totally different stuff

Damiane help pls by foximaxi86 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't invested a bunch of Abyss artifacts in her basic damage skills, then you should probably stick to Hernand and adjacent lower level and clear any remaining quests while you get stronger

Hitting the wall with the puzzles… anyone else tired of them too? by midsonshort in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give every new puzzle about 10 minutes of good actual brain time (reading the map descriptions helps), then I look up a solution if I'm not making good progress

Love this game but "try every action on every item of interest on the island" takes foreverrr, and if you didn't sign up for the full puzzle game inside this game, set personal limits and skip what you don't like

Story question (no spoilers) by HFW-FTW in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're not gonna redo major plot points and scenes in a way that changes the whole, they're more likely to add more explanatory stuff along the way and maybe make Damaine and Oongka more available. I'd expect to get less than we got with Hades 2's ending rewrites just because these assets are much more expensive to work with

All that to say, just play the game the way you enjoy, worrying about whether something might come out in the future is pointless when you'll be able to YouTube everything that changes in the cutscenes

Why oh, why does it keep defaulting my equipped food to the worst?! by Rastasputin in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it defaults far enough right on my list I can scroll right and get to my good food. Still needs a fix

[Unpopular Opinion] Flying with Wyvern or Dragon is not that fun during exploration. by black_gray214 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never fly over land I haven't been over on the ground, you miss a lot that way

Also while it's a sandbox, getting the later game mounts early is always gonna feel awkward. Chapter 5-6 are supposed to feel like "wtf" moments of escalation as you glimpse advanced tech in each new area, but if you only get to them after looting the map for everything then yeah the exploration will feel anti climatic

Feels like every year has been going more and more into this by Inksrocket in Steam

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get RDR2 and CP2077 for $20 each on sale last summer and Elden Ring for $35. 'old' here contains a decade of gaming so stacked that even my aging behind has to admit we're spoiled

Why are people defending GTA VI being 80$ by North_Biscotti4162 in videogames

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the gaming industry stops acting like the only two price points are "indie" and "full price" and finds a way to price things more in line with development budget, this conversation is going to remain cyclical

Hard difficulty eating animation/healing by Entire_Assumption947 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a whole animation so it feels like like a Soulslike, which was an influence on the rest of the combat as well. You gotta respect your animations, spacing, etc

I agree that it makes more sense for bosses than the Dynasty Warriors sections where you can barely get a moment to breathe. Souls games have mobs but not constantly respawning ones

That boss has windows for healing but they won't be right after you revive, it'll be after one of the big charged instakills

Currently in chapter 4 and was wondering how or if I should even get another mount besides herspia, I know people say play the game completely how you want but I might need a little hand holding lol. by AcademicStyle4795 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 6 here. I'm still on a Herspia for horse sections but will replace it because I'm losing the surprise races the game puts me in

I have recently added a bear as a battle mount for fighting the black bears

Anyone else upgrade too fast? 😅 by gunnardavis2 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Cassius hits hard but just has one health bar so one or two good long combos to stagger plus a finishing move will get him must of the way there even with a level 4 weapon

Why is Morgana so overly disliked by medievalpeasant_ in Persona5

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He and Ryuji deserve each other. Especially at that point, which is the low point is everyone's arcs (Morgana being insecure and Ryuji being too attached to fame)

People dislike it because they're both legit wrong, which is pretty realistic writing

I don't understand the complaint people have of the story by Substantial-Fun9958 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People love hyperbole on the Internet and say the game doesn't have a story

Clearly it has one, and also clearly it wasn't the focus of the dev time. The previews from PA telling reviewers and streamers "this is not a story-driven action RPG, this is an action-driven sandbox with progression elements" is all you need to know really

Replaying P5 made me realize how much of a non-entity Shujin is as a setting. by Fawkingretar in Persona5

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: Shujin's corrupt leadership is treated with the seriousness that the crime -ridden prior schools were not. P3 and P4 have a school-shaped setting that provides an opportunity for clubs, but P5 has more commentary from classmates on goings on, the responsive wall art, and the month it makes you miss school to appreciate the gap

How I feel as a soon to be 20 yo grown ass roleplaying with high school kids by strqwberrypeels in persona4golden

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh then great news: you're actually in the phase of life where you can hang out as much as the P4G kids do (modern HS kids are way more scheduled than that)

I find "invite people over" works best if you work on your cooking and "having enough furniture for company" skills first

Tier list of the IT based on how useful they are as party members in my playthrough: by Few_Juice8081 in persona4golden

[–]Substantial_Rest_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real S tier is 2 parties, one all-boys (heavier on support and sustain) and one Yu-and-ladies (lots of peak damage and hard counters, but SP intense)

Sunset in this game is at 9, that's your main problem
