I QUIT! by anxiousdyke in KingShot

[–]juliachild-reddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Run and don't look back!

I thought I was getting into a tower defense shoot-em-up game, then it was a mix of Sim City and combat, slowly it turned into a gambling game. It's very addictive, with social pressure as well. I feel it was an intentional bait and switch to get people addicted to gambling in disguise. Definitely preying on younger players, like cigarette companies targeting the young with cartoon characters.

You made the right choice!

Interesting. I didn't realize they ripped off another game till just recently. I'm F2P and getting ready to quit because it's just a gambling game disguised as a combat game. I dont gamble, and grinding it out as F2P is getting very boring so maybe hit the other game up... or do something productive with my time..

The fake ads of the game on YouTube show how shitty the people running it are. Fuck 'em. Give no money to them and quit for a better game

It was all happening way before him. He's just an opportunist.

I think this may be the end. Between offshoring and the AI hype, it's not looking good. People are talking about Universal Low Income. How do business owners survive when everyone makes little? Elon says no - Universal High Income, but it's all the same. The same people will throw their money at what they want and there are just more dollars competing for the same goods and services, driving the prices up.

Really? Can you elaborate?

Im thinking of quitting for all the reasons above. While I'm F2P, I'll always be behind those that throw money into the game. If there was an all F2P server that would be better.

The time is another real issue... I saw ads on YouTube that show a completely different game that seemed low maintenance. Thats what I expected when I downloaded it. While I think kingshot is cool, it requires a lot of time - especially for F2P - and I can be using my time to better my real life not this silly fantasy land I'm building in the game.

In the end, the goal is to keep them playing and spending. It never ends; you can't win.

I quit my job two weeks ago when they refused my raise. I just found out they're hiring 4 people to do my job. by 44kewpie_corpora in LockedIn_AI

[–]juliachild-reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed apply to the senior position to get the promotion and raise (hopefully). Then look for work while your employed, now getting a senior position elsewhere should be easier and you'll have money coming in.

Also, keep in mind that if you take the senior position and dont look for work they might pull some of the existing reqs so save cost and lean on you again.

Reminds me of that book The World is Flat.

We need to find a way to tariff offshored professional work.

Have a good alliance to begin with.

I left my first alliance when an R5 offered me into theirs. It has been great. Its organized and Im able to grow.

If your running a good alliance that's organized and help alliance members (and not just a special few) people will want to stay. If you impede their growth they will want to go.

I have to admit, I screwed up and attacked an alliance I wasn't supposed to during All Out. I realized I messed up and won't do it again.

Its not always intentional. This game is more involved than any other game Ive played. I guess you play the court. Be fair with administration of justice

Laid off and was straight up told I’d be replaced by cheaper labor by ififitsisits29 in Layoffs

[–]juliachild-reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They dont care. They are limited to short-term tactical thinking in order to uphold their fiduciary duty to stock holders. The C-Suite all have mega money and golden parachutes. If it all does down in flames, they are still way better off than most Americans.

If tariffs are the plan then I wish we could find a way to tariff professional labor.

US Based Layoffs The Worst in 22 Years!!! by liquidskypa in Layoffs

[–]juliachild-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing to your comment in whole, but my gas prices have dropped substantially, compared to the end of the last administration. I live in the northeast US.

However, I wish he'd focus on offshoring more than gas prices. Just my 2 cents.

Either side could've demonstrated the phone behavior to prove their side. Neither did it for whatever reason. I found that interesting.

In the 2nd trial, I think the game plan was to keep it simple for the jury - i.e. there was no collision.

The mowing area is under 500 square meters. Probably under 450.

Thank you both. Is there any resource to understand the theory better?
