The second to last word I knew it wouldn’t be, and I didn’t ask myself if I should, I just wanted to know if I could.

Unfortunately there is a pyramid scheme in place filled with fools that think they can become that one and are willing to fight against those “beneath” them.

Yes

I didn’t, but should I ever feel the need to try it I have already watched the tutorial video.

My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.

At this point I would think most people know, but for those who don’t:

I believe the initial intention was that it was going to be a live service game, where they would add more content and cosmetics over time and continue to support it, but after the backlash of their monetisation method (after people had already purchased the game) they got it to a 1.0 state and moved on to I’m guessing Monster Train 2.

It’s a shame because Inkbound had an interesting foundation there and I believe they could have figured out a better model to keep the game alive.

I got some good hours out of Inkbound, but something rubbed me the wrong way about how they handled it. It’s as though following backlash on their monetisation they decided to wrap the game up and push it out the door and essentially abandon the game.

I loved MT, and that’s why I grabbed Inkbound, but I’m optimistically cautious about MT2. The demo for MT2 was great, I’ll just have to wait and see.

Shiitake mushrooms were my gateway mushrooms. It also depends how they are cooked.

Growing up my parents would barely cook the mushrooms, so when I’d find one by accident and bite into it I’d get gross earthy mushroom juice 🤢.

Given the current state of the world, what if now was the right time for it to be found?

I’m in my late 30’s and I’m a junior dev, having been in the role for just over a year. If you are persistent you can do it. From my experience it has been a hard and at times frustrating job simply because there is so much I don’t know, but that comes with the reward of the eureka moment, where when something works it is one of the best feelings.

Now in terms of doing a school, if it’s a scheme where you pay for the training and they say they’ll get you a job at the end, please be cautious. I have a few friends that went down this route and they say they were the lucky ones to land jobs, but in their groups everyone else was left out in the cold at the end.

This was just my process but I did the Java MOOC course that taught me enough to get going, I was doing this at the same time as working in IT. It’s completely free. For frontend learning I’ve been using Scrimba which has free content but also a paid for subscription, it has been alright and the way they merge the recordings with the IDE is good and the free content feels more substantial than what you’d get with Codecademy.

I’m still just a noob at all of this, and there is so much I don’t know but I’m happy to try and answer any questions you have.

Thanks for this, almost every day can be a challenge but that’s what I signed up for when I switched to software development! I’ll keep what you’ve said in mind and try to put it to practice 🙂

Over a year in as a junior dev and I’m still in the second stage. I did 6 months backend and now I’m now entering my 6th month as frontend. I still know so little, but I know more than I did yesterday.

My biggest challenges:

• I don’t know what questions to ask when it’s about something I don’t know.
• Having a rough idea as to how I want to try and solve a problem, but not knowing how to code it
• Trying to retain so much new information on a daily basis and then remember everything from the days before
• (What I hope is) Imposter Syndrome on a weekly basis

I just keep on trying, try to understand what I can and ask for help when I feel I’m at a blocker.

I don’t play DRG, just wondering how it has been ruined? I see potency increases to various things to I assume offset the reduction in nastrond charges.

Most surprising changes for me are the Dark Knight changes and Esuna being made instant.

I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you’ve got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.

I’m guessing the top management didn’t learn that crunch is perceived negatively and doesn’t always yield quality results. I’m so glad I never backed this game all those years ago.

I’m still in those early cautiously optimistic stage where I hope I can make a positive change that will help those who come after me. How long does it take for the pessimism to set in? 😂
