Your room exudes a more and more sinister energy the longer I look

In the end the deciding factor is the supply and demand dynamic for someone like you in the job market. That is going to determine how picky you can allow yourself to be in your job search. Most people will try to use this dynamic to get a higher income, but you can also use it to get better working conditions etc. So you can look into jobs with a higher demand for applicants (searching job boards (1) and asking people who actively recruit can give you a feel for what is in higher demand), and you can look into jobs that have a lower supply of applicants (less populated areas, requiring rare qualifications, "unglamorous" fields that many aren't interested in or don't know about).

Of course stuff like asking the right questions during the interview, talking to employees, doing prior research etc. is important, but that only helps if you're in a situation where you can allow yourself to be picky because you have better options. So I'd focus on how to get into that situation if I were you.

At least, this line of reasoning has been very helpful to me. There's also people with different approaches that seemed to make them happy. Just something to think about.

(1) job boards are NOT very reliable sources of information, but they're a good start

How common are good vegan and vegetarian options at restaurants? Especially at those restaurants that don't specifically cater to tourists?

Hello, in the recent years I find myself willing to spend much less time and energy on games, but I do still enjoy them. Oftentimes I end up quitting a new game I tried out relatively early on, because I'm encountering some block, grind, non-optional boring side quest, empty open world, uninteresting clutter or details that I have to manage, or similar. Like, I just wanna play the actual game play, see how the story continues, and visit those areas that were designed with care. Not worry where on the map I can sell the glimbrunses I collected so I can buy a 37% stronger glarpidifice that I'll need to beat the next glutrey after which I'm allowed to continue the main story.

Sorry if this turned into some kind of a rant, but I hope it's understandable what I'm looking for and what I meant by fluff. Some games that have fulfilled this for me during the last years:

  • Stray
  • Skyrim (there's a lot of fluff you can worry about in Skyrim, but the thing is you don't have to worry about it, you can also just walk in any direction and see what situation you wind up in, at least for the first 10-20h of a playthrough, which IMO is enough time for a game anyway)
  • Life is Strange
  • Some Pokémon ROM hacks where the difficulty spikes were not too harsh

Looking forward to hear your suggestions :) Games where there is some fluff but you're allowed to just ignore it are also fine, but not having any fluff is preferred. Bonus points for anything on the Xbox game pass.

 

Hello, I am currently playing a high elf spellsword around level 18 on Xbox (so no mods). I maxed out the intelligence and destruction skill a few levels ago and unfortunately the strength of destruction spells is completely broken. I one-shot or two-shot pretty much any enemy I meet with a custom touch fire spell. It's not even min-maxed, I could increase the damage per magicka by making the damage hit more slowly and adding frost and shock damage. My blade damage is negligible in comparison and at this point I just swing the sword for aesthetics. It takes a lot of fun out of the game.

This is on adept difficulty. If I move to expert, the difficulty goes from way too easy to way too hard. Especially since higher difficulty reduces both the damage I make and increases the damage I receive. Maybe there are some Oblivion experts here that can recommend a playstyle with a non-broken difficulty? So far my ideas are:

  • Increase the difficulty to expert, drop melee combat, play as pure mage with optimized spells, and lean into how broken magic seems to be in this game

  • just continue and hope the difficulty balances out later in the game (I don't know if this will happen though?)

  • start a new game in a different class without destruction magic (sucks cause I'd lose my progress)

I'd appreciate it if some Oblivion experts could give their thoughts. I had a ton of fun with this game before the difficulty broke and would love to continue.
