I’m a recent college graduate with a bachelors degree who wants to get a job as a legal assistant or something similar. I haven’t done any law school or legal work before, as I don’t want to commit until I know that the field is a good fit for me. I think it is and that I can excel in it, but I don’t have the time or money to spend on more school before I’m sure it’ll work out. I don’t know anyone in law, so I have no connections or sources of advice. I just have no clue how to get started in the legal world. Can any lawyers give me some tips on how to just get my foot in the door for some sort of entry level position? Do I even have a chance without any post-graduate school or credentials? I’m currently planning on just calling some local law firms to ask about openings soon, but are there any better ways (show up in person, use a staffing agency, etc.) to search for opportunities and/or make a first impression?

So 1999 happened and we got the Hex. They were awesome, the KIM was awesome, and it all worked in the story. Then we got the roundtable in Techrot Encore. Also very cool. Good characters that furthered the story. Then we got the Devil's Triad. I mean, I still don't think we've gotten any explanation for why Albrecht went back in time to turn two random French priests into protoframes so they could guard Roathe, but they were also good characters that expanded the lore and gave us new perspectives of Albrecht and the story so far, so I didn't really mind. But now we have Constellations, and Ryoku and Vena. ...Why do they exist? And more importantly, why are they protoframes? Them being proto's raises more questions than answers, they don't have enough screen time to be interesting in any way, they don't have KIM, and they had almost no direct impact on the story of the overall game or the quest itself

Put simply, Vena and Ryoku are not characters to me. They're just proto-Ash and proto-Garuda, and nothing more. I don't know who they were before they were proto'd. I don't know how they got proto'd or why. I don't know who they are now. We got more information about them as characters from Reb talking about them on the last devstream than we have about them in-game. Sure, they're a part of the railjack missions and give us some neat boss fights, but I want more reason for protoframes to exist than that. Protoframes are a big deal, and they should have more reason to exist than to give us a bossfight that could be achieved with any other lore justifications that doesn't feel like they're diluting a pretty special, important thing. It feels more like they were created to sell protoframe skins, and thrown into the story to justify it without any further thought, and it's making me very tired of protoframes as a whole

This is all especially aggravating because it took away from Sirius and Orion. They should be the ones speaking. Stalker can. They could make noises they were babies. We hear them laugh during the final scene. Why don’t they talk anywhere else? For the entire quests they were blank slates with no character to them at all. They fought each other, then they fought Stalker, then they stood around while Vena and Ryoku spoke for them, then they threatened Umbra, then they sat at a dinner table. They had nothing, and instead the protoframes had all the lines

To be clear: I don’t need these newbies to have KIM. I just want them to have some sort of relevance or explanation whatsoever. Albrecht created batches of protoframes for a reason. Why did he create Vena and Ryoku. Was it even Albrecht that created them? I have no clue, and that’s a problem for me

All assuming that there aren’t answers planned to be given at a future date, of course. That’s why I don’t have issue with more of the unanswered questions in Constellations quest. These just don’t feel like questions that they have answers for, or at the least they feel like questions that wouldn’t lose anything by simply being answered now rather than later

There are some skills that have identical effects. For example, corner/straightaway adept vs [running style] corners/straightaways vs [race distance] corners/straightaways. Those skills are all good, but are they useful if I already have one of their counterparts? I’m currently doing a Tamamo career to use her in medium team trials. I have corner adept and straightaway spurt. Should I get medium corners, end closer corners, and/or straightaway acceleration if they become available, or are they not worth it because I already have skills that do the same thing?

If you don't know, this dude is just a well-known YouTube game reviewer/streamer guy. As a fan of his and a fanatic of OW this made me happy to hear on a recent stream so I thought I'd throw it in here

Very few things in this game feel better than timing melees with arc waves to hit at the perfect moment when they get doomed
