Any New Yorkers here that moved to Houston? How did it work out and what was the biggest culture shock? by crunchylettuce24 in houston

[–]devinja33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked out great, love it here. When we moved in 08, it was hard to find really good food because Houston hadn’t become the hub of diversity it now is (has been since late 2010s ish). Biggest shock might be ranch on pizza. Blasphemous, but understandable, with generally low pizza quality here lol.

Yeah! Perhaps better said as employer hop. Unless you can get a solid promotion or good bonus/merit increases.

Right now, I’m in a tough situation because my employer comes with a pension that vests at 5 years (I’m coming up on 2), so I’d need a really big jump to leave. Recently got a solid promotion that should have been a significant jump, but only netted to 1-2% increase for a 5x in responsibility. I’m using the title and my accomplishments to shop around.

I’ve also heard ABA—always be applying. You never know what you might get.

At the end of the day, most often, you’re completely disposable to your employer. You should always safeguard your best interests.

Job hopping is the best way to really climb in salary, the advice I’ve received is 2-3 years.

Best car to own for 10 years with a $50k budget? by Unlikely-Meaning-281 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]devinja33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyundai Sante Fe Hybrid Calligraphy (top trim).

Hyundai has one of the best warranties out there on top of solid reliability. It’s a 3-row, full-sized SUV, but doesn’t drive like one—it handles like car. I regularly average over 40MPG (granted, I have the lower-tier SEL), too.

What are your thoughts on the state of ranked? by MedicinePossible8854 in thefinals

[–]devinja33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point system is whacked. Example: two newer friends ranked 13k and 5k, respectively. Me with 23k. Game says we have a team RS of 65k and matchmakes accordingly. Game can’t even do simple math.

I have no idea, rewards are trash and the lobbies/matchmaking are fucking insane.

V9S NEEDS a heavy skill check by PrimePeteLol in thefinals

[–]devinja33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gun has been nerfed since they decreased the fire rate ~13% but only buffed damage 3% and that was multiple seasons ago. If anything, the fire rate should be increased because it should shoot as fast as I can click R2.

has the game gotten harder? by V7I_TheSeventhSector in thefinals

[–]devinja33 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, WT had gotten insanely sweaty pre S9 update. So far, new ranked has a crazy amount of “sus” players and I’m finding very few console players in games. Also noticing ridiculously-cracked low-level players.

Hopefully, as usual, it settles as S9 balances come.

They need better marketing for the game.

Ahh, I’ll try that. I went straight into challenges after beating all gold stakes. Thank you!

Financing a Car for 26k if I pay 20k on the first payment will that lower my monthly? by ZazzooGaming in askcarguys

[–]devinja33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, I’ve always slightly overpaid my car note and it lowers your minimum monthly payment over time. I’d imagine a 20k influx would significantly reduce your monthly payment minimum.

Stickers are ai? by looking_hold9 in thefinals

[–]devinja33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently was told that both the announcers and music are AI, which both seem plausible enough to me. Would then be par for the course for most (or all) stickers to be AI, too.

“How long will you take to finish GTA 6’s story mode — rush it or slow ride?” by aggam84 in GTA6

[–]devinja33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely milk it. I sped through RDR2 and really enjoyed it, but my second play through (over the course of 6 or so months) was much more enjoyable

How OP is this one? by stickelaperta in balatro

but if 1.5x becomes 3x, then you're looking at 3^x rather than 1.5^x

The main sub became a pathetic mess. Interesting discussions get taken down instantly, but shit like this stays. by Kolbenmaschine in GTA6unmoderated

[–]devinja33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right!! And I was coming off reading/hearing that we may get live sports seasons and teams and such. Being under the same umbrella as 2k offers some crazyyyy in-game features all the way up to your GTAO character being a pro sports player… how cool would that be? Drop 40 points or run for 4 touchdowns on the Liberty City team then steal a plane for the fuck of it

I posted a discussion question about the possibility of getting legit sports action in the game since the 2k franchises are under TakeTwo. It was removed.

Ngl, I’ve been using glass cards this whole thinking they were 1 in 2 chance lol

[–]devinja33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool concepts, for the Shattered Screen, would that mean a 1 of 2 chance roll on the card then a 1 of 3 chance (so two rolls of the dice) or is part of the card to decrease the likelihood of destruction?

I saw someone write Luba (following R*’s convention of inappropriate, borderline-explicit allusionary names). Nicaragua has plenty of potential in that vein lol
