These are so funny, I've seen some really silly ones - "Full-stack developer, architect, DBA, must have finance experience, must hold current DV clearance - £300/day". I assume the vast majority are crossed wires/chinese whispers between company tech -> company HR -> recruiter.

One of my pads developed a bad drift in the left stick - I've bought a replacement potentiometer for a few quid and will be giving it a crack this week - will report back on if it works and how difficult it was :eek:

Upto Ch 13, doing remaining sidequests etc before finishing. Some thoughts... Pros - big game with lots of content, tasteful expansions to original plot points/areas, combat system, smoothness of perf mode, Queen's Blood, soundtrack Cons - shameful game engine for an AAA game - quality mode...

Another vote for NordVPN - but be sure to use OpenVPN because their app is total garbage.

Having a similiar experience to you with another big firm was the push I needed to just do my own accounts through the year and then just pay a good local accountant for year-end stuff to be sure. Freeagent makes it quite easy once you know what you're doing with expenses and VAT. So I'd...

I enjoyed DS a lot more than I thought I would, I did 100% it in the initial Covid lockdown which was quite apt. I thought it was quite innovative if sometimes frustrating. But agree fully with it being Kojima indulging his artistic desires. I approached it like a particularly arty film where...

Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp on Switch - 8/10. Enjoyed the second game more than the first, the maps were more interesting and it felt like a fairer game, first was brutal on some levels esp with fog of war.

That's interesting. My NU8000 LCD is coming upto 5 years old and doesn't appear to have a blue tint or any burn-in etc like the other Samsung 8000s in their list, but it is a better panel than those despite being older which might explain it. Will have to get a grey video on it and see if I can...

I'm all for vaping but glad they're banning the disposables. Just total Chinese e-waste of plastic and batteries when a refillable vape is so easy to use. Even the cig-a-like vapes back in the early 2010s had detachable cartridges and a chargeable main body, disposables are a regression from the...

It's not diversified beyond the US, no. Few points on my take on the risk - firstly I'm young enough (mid 30s) to generally take a higher level of risk e.g. 100% on equities with a long-term view, secondly I don't personally consider the US bias as much of a risk in itself. I think at this point...

Yes, a few years back I dumped all of my pension funds (like yours, madly UK overweighted and not enough equity) into a SIPP and went 100% VUSA (Vanguard S&P 500 tracker). It's done very well. As I get older I will gradually switch from equity to bonds etc. I have zero faith in the UK stock...

I'll continue to buy my favourite console games physical because they're both an investment and protection against digital stores shutting down (3DS, PSP, Vita). I don't think this is much of a risk with the latest gen compared to previous, because it's all x86 that can be trivially executed by...

I find my Pro pretty quiet (sitting about 3m away) playing most games, but certain games (or certain screens like menus in some games) make it sound like it's about to take off. The Last Guardian for example made it max out the fans constantly, then on Sega Mega Drive Classics, it's essentially...

Had a scrote trying all the doors/car doors on the street last night, I believe he managed to nab a car a few streets down. Loads of cameras, but they don't give a toss as wearing masks. Actually had two police visits about it already, which was a pleasant surprise considering how stretched the...

When I saw this trailer at TGA I thought it was just a remake of Jet Set Radio.... massive smile on my face a minute later with the other new games including Crazy Taxi! Massively overdue :)

With your experience and level, I'd cut out anything less than a degree, and leave the interests too except for something related or something meaningful e.g. Forces reserve, charity work, scout leader etc. More room to write about things you've done in work.

Good lord... I mean it's good that the chairman is communicating with you, but that's absurd. I left Three after they reneged on their promise not to bring back roaming charges. Guy in the callcentre sent me a copy and pasted spiel about why they had to do it because of Brexit, and that other...

Narita, Tokyo. 10 mins away from a nice town to stay prior to departure, clean, fairly quiet (well, used to be before the covid backlog of tourists), half-decent restaurants, those fancy spraying toilets, smoking areas if you're into that. Even has showers, I had one last time I was there as I...

Just come back to this to get the platinum and do the DLC, fantastic game. It's either this or AC:VI for GOTY for me, despite it being sort of cheating as a remake!

Caught it for the (I think) 2nd time last week. A stuffy nose for a few days, then generally just feeling a bit 'unwell' for a few days after that. Exactly like a cold. First time was headache, fever, sleeping loads for 2 days, then not much after that. Sounds rough @BowdonUK , hope it improves...
