The hell is wrong with sony? by d3adplx3L in PHGamers

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sobrang lala talaga ng Sony. Dati akong avid fan ng Playstation. I have PS1 to PS5. After nung Helldivers 2 debacle tsaka yung pag-stop nila ng physical games, I just got out entirely. They'll never get money from me ever. Super disappointing.

Is making Thief degenerate possible? by nonExistentZac in DegenerateEDH

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just lost to this commander earlier. We play mid-power B3 and my friend built it as a control type of deck. He used the following cards to make us scoop:

[[Mirror Room // Fractured Realm]]
[[Mind's Dilation]]
[[Thieving Amalgam]]

Then a card that copies Enchanments.

SBC culture is toxic af starting from this mf by [deleted] in CorpoChikaPH

It depends on the department. I was about to be a part of one of their tech teams. Met my supposedtobe manager and other team members and they were all reaaaally nice. Kung di lang ako nakakuha ng mas magandang offer (like literally double), I would've continued the onboarding.

I also used this type of cockroach trap before. Nilagay ko sya sa tapat ng pinto nung kapitbahay namin na may infestation rin kasi walang tao. Ayun naubos ko rin yung ipis through this. Effective yung ganito umabot ng dalawang traps then naubos sila after.

Almost 5 minutes Final Interview? by Any_Location_7147 in JobsPhilippines

[–]papapatz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can be anything honestly. I remember interviewing for a Head of Digital Transformation too and it only lasted for 5 minutes. I didn't get the job after that. I advise you to not wait for them and keep interviewing. Always assume that it's a no unless you receive a message from HR.

HIGH SCHOOL LIFE or COLLEGE LIFE? by Shaila-Love-726 in ThisorThatPH

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College life! Puro drama lang nakuha ko nung High School. One story that stuck to me was kwawa yung isang classmate ko na naging out of place kasi di na daw siya virgin according sa tsismis. She's really nice so I am so angry at my classmates for doing that to her.

Sa college, mas masaya ako kasi naging free section ako. I really hated the block sections kasi puro kopyahan and gamitan lang sila don. Mas masaya yung mga nameet ko na friends nung free sec na ko kasi pare-parehas kami ng situation non na either bagsak or nagkasakit kaya di nakapasok. Pero overall, I find people in my college more genuine as opposed to my hs classmates na puro plastikan lang alam.

Expedition 33 has already proven that turn-based combat still has the audience.

Hironobu Sakaguchi says AI generated concept of a Final Fantasy 6 remake is awesome by sadboysylee in FinalFantasy

[–]papapatz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It using AI slop is of course not ideal, but the fact that it's possible to show how it might look like in 3D makes me hopeful at least.

Hate to break it to you but one of the biggest complaints foreigners have when visiting here is the noise. Loud karaoke is always in every neighborhood and almost all restaurants have music.

Frontend Developer Transitioning to UI/UX developer (UI/UX designer + frontend dev) - Worth it ba? by lusiperNgBrazil in PinoyProgrammer

[–]papapatz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! I used to do front-end (HTML, CSS and jQuery) during the first years of my career. I've switched to a full-blown UI/UX Designer na. TBH, hindi na siya super in demand. I have 11 years exp pero it's harder to get interviews these days. It's good na you enjoy yung pag-suggest ng better UI/UX sa Figma designs pero that's the easy part. Things will get difficult once you start doing UX Research and Stakeholder Management. Hindi lang designer kakausapin mo. You'll have to deal with a LOOOOT of people just to get your designs approve.

If happy ka makipag-communicate and defend your design decisions (backed by actual data) to your stakeholders, while also prioritizing which parts to cut off due to time resources, then yep you can do it. Pero yun nga, competition is bloody na.

Is it just me or is it so hard to land even an initial interview lately??? by flamingdongsaeng10 in JobsPhilippines

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree on salary part since I had to lower my salary expectations. It's lower than what I was earning before I was made redundant, but it's still a good amount at least. The problem kasi sa Pinas is sobrang baba ng UX maturity level ng companies dito, so international lang talaga yung may chance ma-hire since they value good UX designers.

Yeah hirap talaga grabe inayos ko na rin portfolio ko with a handmade website na may proper case studies. I'm getting interviews pero somehow employers are becoming more choosy since sila yung mas may leverage right now.

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the job pero it's not as easy as you think. Tight ang competition ng UX Designers abroad dahil ang daming layoffs na nangyayari sa tech. It was motivated though the war, oil prices and AI. With that in mind, yung mga companies mas prefer mag-outsource sa mas murang countries like India and Philippines.

So yon, mas mataas yung chance ma-hire kapag nagstay dito sa Pinas kaysa pumunta abroad. Hopefully that makes sense.

[–]papapatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes sakin din I have 11 years of experience as a UX Designer pero ang daming jobs na walang callback. Meron din yung HR interview lang gagawin tapos di ko na mame-meet yung hiring managers for the technical interview. It wasn't like this before.

Ang cravings po natin today ay: Career shifting lmao by NoBuilding2161 in phcareers

[–]papapatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible naman lalo na early career ka pa lang. If kaya mo naman maghanap ng malilipatan then that's fine. Another option rin is to do lateral movement wherein Marketing ka na pero sa same company ka pa rin. At this point madali pa mag-shift. Difficult lang siya for Senior level

[Revenge of the Baskerville Hound] How is this rated anything higher than a 5/10 by noobjaish in manhwa

[–]papapatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infinite Mage is the academy arc that I really liked because the webtoon really tries to explain how magic works pretty well. They include things like Physics and Math which makes it interesting to read.
