@messimagician yeah I get you totally mate. I was in a similar position years ago with kids etc but even just picking an old mig set up off eBay and practicing at night after work will help. The money for welders is only going in one direction now so better starting soon rather than later. You might just catch it in time. Best of luck mate 👌

Re: Sony Flop Concord Axed Two Weeks After PS5, PC Release

People only want Sony to make single player games. Single player games cost a fortune. Sony tries to create a revenue stream so it’s easier to pay for the big sp tickets. New revenue streams fail.. Playstation shuts down 🤷‍♂️? I’m no fan of live service I’ll be honest but I can’t see this all ending well. Hope I’m wrong

@messimagician I’d say it took me about 5-7 years to become a truly competent welder and able to pass codings for the big coin. Some people will be quicker and some people slower. But even the slightest experience goes a long way mate. Do you Tig weld I take it? Tig seems to be the weld of choice for the aircraft industries

@SlipperyFish well due to Brexit in the UK companies are finding it much more difficult to get cheap labour from abroad and are having to put wages up quite substantially to attract British workers. Welding wages in my area alone have increased by 40-70%. Welders were I currently work are being paid 53k before tax on 4on4off patterns. I’ve been in the trade 24 years and well versed in what it takes to earn this coin. If you are local to Staffordshire look for welding opportunities around here plus keep an eye open for welder training. Coming your way soon

Any jobs that work with computers are generally screwed tbh. Time to get re-skilled up people. I’m thinking of starting a company for training Mig welders in Staffordshire. Wages for welding skills are about to go through the roof!. Keep a look out for it if you are in the UK and need something new. Good luck all

Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?

You nailed it when you said about if they were telling fans about other projects coming in terms of SP games then it would have been less hate and more indifference like with Helldivers. That’s why this game has failed chiefly. Hard not to feel for the devs

The kids just ain’t into consoles anymore. It’s a millennial thing more than anything I’d say and the boomers. All the younger lads at work are pc. Hoping things change though because I don’t want to have to buy pc’s at all. Can’t bare them
