2042 always throws me off. That game was such a disgrace in comparison to 2142 with Titan Wars.

Yeah I just don’t consider things like Steam Reviews or things of the sort to make someone be considered an influencer. They sure as shit aren’t being paid, an if they are, than im owed a substantial amount of money.

The point of the reviews I read are ones that summarize, explain, and detail what an actual game is. The more neutral toned the better.

I would not consider simple reviews by your every day person to be someone I would EVER call an influencer, and if you tried, they would just be confused.

So in your world every review is only ever done by an “influencer?” Cause that would make a massive swath of the public “influencers” when generally those guys get paid.

Personally I love Counter-Strike 2 or Rocket League, both have the simplest way to play competitively - You simply play Comp and then get ranked.

Cs2 you could use Faceit or Leetify to create a team and join tournaments, though I think some cost money with a prize pool.

RL is awesome though, you get like 5 - 6 mini tournaments a day hosted by RL themselves. Similar to CS2 you get ranked and then join a tourney with skill-alike players. Very fun, very easy to set down, always feel like you can play “competitively” no matter the time available or skill.

Both games have a very quick learning curve, and then as you play and practice you slowly get better (hopefully)

Most companies I’ve worked for, from union to mom and pop, pay for your drive time. Unless you’re in a very small company, in which case you record your mileage and are able to use it for taxes.

If you’re in a big city you’ll have plenty of work all within a solid 50mile radius. If you’re out in the sticks with towns spread out… Youll still have plenty of work but the majority of your day will be driving.

I personally love low voltage, specifically as a service technician. Spend 20 minutes diagnosing a problem, 20 minutes fixing it, and then 30 minutes driving to the next while getting paid the entire time. Take 4 to 7 calls a day and make bank.

I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years though, and most guys start out as an installer, learning the trade, working at big job sites, and gaining the skills to be able to be a service technician. If you have an aptitude for learning, and care, you’ll be better than 75% of your coworkers.
