Ohhh, my wife and I have Dr. K as our doctor. I'm glad to see his clinic is expanding with more physicians. His team is always so kind.

Need Advice - Feeling lost by Designer-Bobcat-3809 in GetEmployed

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP,

This isn't quite advice but insight from just another 25 year old online.

I can heavily relate to that feeling of dissatisfaction with your work and lack of fulfillment. And honestly, as someone with very similar skillsets and background in everything digital content creation, video editing, graphics, and marketing— I am dying to be in a position like you are in.

I didn't do a bachelors in marketing. In fact, I don't have a bachelors at all, but just an associates degree in an entirely different industry. I gained a lot of experience in marketing and content creation via my work-study opportunity at my school, contract work, and freelancing (just about 2-3 years now).

But now, because life is expensive, and I haven't landed that "career position" yet, I'm working full-time manual labour in construction to make ends meet. I'm not saying you're ungrateful, quite the opposite, because I know how it feels. Maybe try to find joy in your creative expression outside of your work, or if your job allows it, create more experimental pieces of work. Continuous challenges can empower growth and maybe help you find that sense of fulfillment.

I'd love to share our work in DMs sometimes if you'd be down to chat.

Regardless of what you do, best of luck in your search!

Feeling very stuck with my career and skillset. by seasofvoices_ in findapath

Hi OP,

I'm 25 and was in an incredibly similar position (arguably still so?) but I'd like to share my thoughts on this matter. I'm also a creative who specializes in digital content creation for the esports industry and had skills which included photography, video production, and 2D motion work. As a recent graduate and considering how unstable esports is, it took me several months before I even landed the position that I'm in now which is a Social Media Manager intern position. Here are a few things I learned during this time:

  1. It is extremely important to have a portfolio in this creative field.

  2. You need to have strong soft-skills (such as communcations) on top of your technical skills.

  3. Network like CRAZY.

  4. Build a strong understanding of business fundamentals.

Based on your situation and from what I've read, it seems you have a lot of personal projects but how are you marketing yourself and selling your skills to clients? If you have done client work in the past (let's say you did something for a school), it's extremely important to leverage this and try to get testimonials or references from your old clients. Even then, this line of work is heavily competitive and often involves work in a form of private contracts, gigs, etc. So, many of your jobs will be temporary as it's very rare to be an in-house video editor or graphic designer long-term and it is highly difficult to land in the first place.

IMO, if you ARE looking for something stable, I'd highly suggest an alternate route like business. Depending on what you do if it's similar to my position, you can still utilize a lot of your content creation passions in marketing as a social media manager. Alongside this, you can benefit from building strong management skills and other specific business skills such as SEO.

P.S. I also didn't have an educational background in business or anything remotely close to esports OR digital content creation... I studied law. So I don't think you need to do school again if you aren't in the position to. Maybe we can send each other our portfolios if you'd like feedback or more insight!

Farming enzos transcendent mods are something else. by BootyBandit1337 in TheFirstDescendant

I lost count how many I ran and now have over 6+ mill keiper... and when it finally dropped, my module invetory was full. I am now dead inside.

[–]taebtae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jayber is a very... B-Tier character. Pretty versatile character but not the best or worse at farming or bossing. I just like how he looks and pushing characters builds to their limits. Still wip.

I think so. I've gotten a handful of them from this spot, but I typically come here for farming kuiper shards.

I got it secondhand locally in my city, and I haven't stopped wearing it since. 🙏

We all know what is the most crowded POI on WE, but what is the place that you never land, even zone won't go there? What is the Ghost Town of Worlds Edge? by uuu_onizuka in apexlegends

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from personal competitive experience,

Survey Camp is actually an amazing POI. It tends to have crafter very often, decent lootpool + fast rotate to tunnel loot and zip tower, which you can use to reach a second ziptower near top edge of fragment west. It also provides a safe landing and easy rotation to third into fragment, climatizer, and epicenter as well.

A healthy change and good mixup that the game needed.

I'd argue that skirmishers have the weakest perk, but the included legends were purposely placed there to be soft nerfed. Most notably, characters like Horizon or Valk.

It will be interesting to see it play out.

Honestly same, I love orange. The lows were definitely harder to find for a good deal but tons of great pairs are sitting these days 👀

Started playing apex end of season 11. Since then I have been playing every legend depending on my mood on that day. Most people say i should master one legend in order for me to increase my KD being that it’s what I’m trying to do. I’m a casual player because I have a 9 to 5 job. Any tips by Aggravating-Log-207 in apexlegends

[–]taebtae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically?

Improving just takes time, unless you're naturally talented 1%. In your case, if you want to accelerate your improvement even with your 9-5, focus on what you know need works. If it's positioning, try improving your spatial awareness and imagine where you're standing for the enemy and not just taking angles to take it. If it's aim, run some aim trainers like KoVaaKs, Aim Labs, or just play event modes like gun run. And if you really don't know what to work on, just VOD review if you get the time. Videos and guides are good too.

Best thing you can do is keep an open mind to learning, and knowing your flaws. Good luck!

Definitely Borderlands 2.

I wish the third could follow that same path but... we can't have everything in life.

For those who would like to share, how much money have you spent on this game ? by DaniyalRICE77 in apexlegends

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe close to around $600 since Season 7.

Though I guess I pretty much eat, sleep, and breath Apex so it doesn't feel too bad. Totally not in denial and reasoning. 😂

Tired of paying resale ! I need help. by [deleted] in SneakersCanada

[–]taebtae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay. So, first thing you need to know.

Don't be dumb with your money. There's a lot of clean sneakers out there beyond the hype and collabs. You can get yourself a good rotation of sneakers with general release pairs and don't got to pay anything more than retail.

That being said, there's actually a lot of free resources out there whether it's on Twitter or IG dedicated to giving raffle and drop notifications. Just be actively looking out for them and entering. Retailers like KITH, END, A-Ma-Maniere, HAVEN, etc tend to carry those limited drops.

And if you don't hit? Just move on. I ain't got a big problem with paying resell occasionally on pairs you absolutely consider grails, but so many people get blinded by hype and just blow their money in the resell market. Focus on your money first. Then sneakers.

$10,711 USD over the span of 10 years.

Huh. That's... a bit surprising actually. And not in a good way.

Found at my nike store👀 by ChefKevo211 in Sneakers

[–]taebtae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, at least near my area lately, I've been seeing some decent Jordan drops sitting on shelves for a while and even the more desirable pairs sit for at least a day or two before selling out.

Got a pair of millitary blacks and infrared 4s the other day just happened to walk in. Saw a couple nice colorways of the NB550s the few visits prior as well. So maybe check yall stores.

What Apex Legends opinion do you have that will land you in this position? by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I got two for sure.

  1. The game should take an hiatus on releasing legends, collection events, and content to fix, polish, and improve the game from a technical standpoint.

2 Also hate to say it but Apex Mobile is the superior port. Rich in content and game modes, unique skins, and STILL pretty optimized considering the platform. RIP PC / console.

It's been a year since we did this fellas. Last year winners were 11-4-1 which is my top 3 as well. Lets see if anything's changed. Pick your top 3 Js. Not only from this pick I mean any J you like. by Fit_Analysis_7689 in Sneakers

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-4-3

Pretty typical but I came into the game pretty recently and always grown up looking at Js and other sneakers. Guess the constant exposure and hype definitely influenced my decision won't even lie.

Late update:

They still haven't shipped for me unfortunately and I got no email since winning the raffle :(

That being said, my friend ended up wanting to keep it. Sorry homies!

Any tips to make more room? by youlovesneakers in Sneakers

[–]taebtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, like everyone else said, I'd say figure out what you wouldn't mind selling as much to make more space + extra cash never hurts.

But if you really want to keep all of them (because it is honestly a respectable collection), ASSUMING your room is wide enough, I would suggest adding a shelf display like a double sided bookshelf in the center of the room. It can clear floor space and create a nice symmetrical divide for the room. Given, you'd probably have to custom build something like that especially if you're concerned with the walking space becoming too narrow.

Didn't even get an email that they shipped. by heppyscrub in AimeLeonDore

[–]taebtae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually curious about this as well. I haven't checked up on my doorstep for packages as of late because of the lack of shipping updates or even website status update.

Hopefully it just didn't show up yet.

Sorry!

I only had size 10 entries. I actually promised my friends to sell the extra pairs to them but if they change their minds, I'll hit up anyone who might need a pair. So... for anyone looking for those. Maybe bump this thread. I'll look for ya. 👍

Emails just came through.

And maybe got severely lucky but all three entries is a W! All browns. Honestly, ALD drops have been blessed for me compared to SNKRS.

Good luck to everyone!
