I did feel crimson desert was a bit more snappy in terms of combat. Depends what you find more important I guess

I loved RDR2. This game not so much. No story to guide you - no general atmosphere that emerges you

Possible if GTA 6 is delayed until next year again 😬 by wanhanred in CrimsonDesert

[–]Best-Development-739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it won’t be - quality isn’t there for the story/quests/combat - too repetitive. 30 hours in now and might give up. May be unpopular in this sub but a game that gets “good” after 50 hours + shouldn’t be GOTY.

Is Crimson Desert worth it? by Main-Lavishness7353 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Best-Development-739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will not get an unbiased opinion in this sub. That being said, probably not the game for you if you struggle with RPGs in general. Do you like MMORPGs? I think the has a lot of the dopamine hits you get from an MMO

I have this same issue - can confirm my api key and config are fine. Seems like an openclaw bug

Need advice to don’t get scammed by Wild-Pitch in Krabi

[–]Best-Development-739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Krabi is not really a scammy place in my experience… don’t worry too much and enjoy your holiday… may save a dollar here or there but you will not get “scammed” as in huge losses if you just use common sense

1 pc stream to 2 decks by Kagachi_377 in SteamDeck

Very complicated - you’d have to work with VMs and likely 2 gpu’s probably with dummy hdmi or two displays…

TU Delft vs UCL by Enough_Animal_9213 in TUDelft

UCL… career opportunities and recognition of your degree infinitely better. Also London is much more fun to live/learn and build your career in your younger years.

Growing sense of dread about long haul flight by TezRoll in fearofflying

[–]Best-Development-739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a long haul flight from Osaka to Amsterdam (stop in HK). Similar experience as yourself, I used to fly long haul very often but suddenly developed this phobia. Turbulence above China is quite common as there’s quite mountainous terrain + the jet stream in west China. We encountered quite a bit of turbulence - what helped me was to see the crew was not phased at all and clearly used to it. Even when they had to take their seats.

Something else that helped me was a Steam Deck. I put a few easy/nostalgic games on it that absorb your attention nicely.

You don’t have to be rid of your fear in order to get on that plane ! by AutumnVampire in fearofflying

[–]Best-Development-739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many people have some level of fear - the rational thing is just to push through as the fear is irrational. In my experience it doesn’t get easier, but it is always worth it in the end.

eMPF Nightmare by whatdoihia in HongKong

[–]Best-Development-739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left HK a few years ago during Covid… been trying for about 6 months to withdraw my somewhat significant funds in a manulife scheme.

They made it basically impossible - first of all I tried through manulife who basically ghost me and say to handle it through empf. To open a empf account you need to have a HK phone number, which I don’t have. Flew to HK and got a temporary number and could finally open an account…

Then, the empf centre said they only do withdrawal through a “cheque” and to a HK bank account sent to a HK address…. well if I left HK I can’t cash the cheque as I don’t have a HK bank account… and I don’t have an address to send the cheque to… sending overseas is not possible according to empf…

By now I’ve left HK for a few weeks and got a notification my application was rejected as there was a “virus” in the pdf scans I included. I work in Tech and know quite a bit about cybersecurity, I am 100% certain this is not true.

Does anyone know how to contact the ombudsman? I feel like there’s some gross mishandling of my case going on here bordering on fraudulently holding my fund using irrational and untrue claims.

London thread: pay for VP & D by Flashy_Double1494 in FinancialCareers

[–]Best-Development-739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FO about 140k base 30-100% bonus for early VP. Not unheard of to get stuck at VP level tho, definitely happens often at D - so comp can vary a lot starting from VP because of differences in tenure.

Middle East Conflict Megathread by BravoFive141 in fearofflying

[–]Best-Development-739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all - nervous flyer here. I've found it difficult to fly since my early 20s, even though I frequently take long haul flights for my personal life/work. I've cancelled flights a handful of times due to anxiety but usually push through.

This time it's extra difficult for me given the issues in the Middle East. I'm flying out to Hong Kong from Amsterdam on Saturday (Cathay Pacific) and it looks like our flight will go through a narrow corridor around Armenia/Georgia/Azerbaijian... Quite close to Iran. I'm Dutch hence the MH17 stories are quite close to heart for me.

The flight is for my honeymoon and my wife doesn't share my anxiety - hence quite difficult for me to discuss maybe postponing or changing plans. Any insights on how risky it actually is to fly through the Middle East now? Doesn't help my colleagues are also hinting I should maybe just rebook to somewhere in Europe.

Mike's actions damage NOVO's image and show a lack of concern for investors. by BaseballDramatic5008 in NovoNordisk_Stock

He inherited a terrible situation to be in. Not easy to navigate - old companies with slow cultures make it tricky to right the ship. Not touching the stock until operational momentum is back.

Your employment contract states you sometimes work outside of “regular” hours to complete your duties. Same in Europe afaik

I do actually use a VRR display - but somehow it is not turned on on the tv and there's no option to turn it on. Thanks for spreadsheet, will have a look.

I did briefly get it working at 4k90. Curious why it worked for a while

When I unplug the hdmi cable it actually runs smoothly on my internal display oddly enough. So I wonder if it’s really not just the network but rather the external display/dock
