Stupid things added in updates and all those brand deals ruined the game

chapter 2 was solid

but only the first few seasons

then the game just became a huge cash grab

still decently fun with mates tho

I’d rather play descenders or rainbow six siege

#

Red dead 2 is a good game to muck around with your mates in

#

I feel like the devs took a game that was already successful and did brand deals and weird updates to help market it to a much younger demographic even though it was making plenty when it was more of a game that teenagers and adults would play

#

In my opinion the game started going downhill around the season 7 update a few years back when they added planes

If I had to guess as a sole trader with ABN, you'd mostly just have to cover tax at whatever income bracket you're at? Though I've got no clue, I'd put that aside + a bit extra just to be safe

For me that wasn’t the problem the problem was my reaction speed when the lightning struck

static ruin Dec 13, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Ah, you don't react

#

Night time is much easier, just take longer exposures. Daytime I tend to just record video and pick the frame out later, only viable way short of spending $$$ on a lightning trigger

frozen lantern Dec 13, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

From when the lightning strikes to me pressing the shutter button it’s a challenge to get the shot

static ruin Dec 13, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

You won't ever react fast enough, camera either needs to be mid exposure (aka long exposure) which you can only do at night, or yeah easier for video in day

frozen lantern Dec 13, 2024, 7:25 AM

#

Using high iso isn’t great

#

Don’t exactly have an alternative either

#

If we get some lightning tonight I’ll go setup a tripod and try get some long exposure shots

static ruin Dec 13, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

Definitely much easier, if it's night time I set set the camera on looped exposures anywhere between ~15 seconds up to a minute depending on conditions, just need to give a bit of room in the exposure so the lightning won't cause the foreground to be blown out if it's close

You want the job for financial flexibility and to begin becoming independent from your parents. You don't want to rely on them for everything, and want freedom to do more stuff alone. You'd also like more responsibility and believe this is a crucial step to achieving it. You're a hard-worker, evident with your cadets work (make sure you mention that) and your friends told you this was a great place to work due to its flexibility surrounding weekly hours and shift, while also being an enjoyable place to work. If they ask about your friends tell them you work well with them and you have great teamwork or some shit

As it stands I'm a crew coach, so I train other crew on various stationsm I'm considered senior to other crew, even other crew coaches as I've had to run shifts before

The other day we had a power outage and my manager had stuff she had to do so she left the other responsibilities that we have to do in power outages to me and the other crew coach on shift
