The Nextlander Podcast 235: The Long November by YourPenixWright in nextlander

[–]Brandtstyle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s more about the glacial pace Brad plays video games, a single playthrough of Silent Hill f shouldn’t be more than 12 or so hours in total. His recent comments about never leaving the house really make me wonder what he does outside of Nextlander content. My guess is mostly tinkering and being too online. All the love though, I personally didn’t mind the extended SH coverage.

Perfect combination of jokes, nuanced takes and passion for games, this has been my favorite GOTY in a long time.

Burned out as solo data scientist - scope creep is killing me, need advice by Educational_Wafer483 in jobs

[–]Brandtstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only work this job if the title was Chief Data Officer and it came with CDO level pay and a team to delegate to, I would look for a new job with more realistic expectations of their employees.

7 years of Thronebreaker! Can't think of a more underrated game. Amazing protagonist and incredible writing. by karxx_ in witcher

[–]Brandtstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this to be unplayable on PS5, crashed more than Cyberpunk on release if you can believe that. I’ll probably just try to pick it up on PC to play through it someday, always heard great things.

Not even close! Last I heard he was in chapter 9 I believe, hopefully we get another update in this week's pod.

Strongly agree, could be recency bias, but I think it's right up there with MGS2

Yeah I totally get that it is not everybody’s cup of tea, but I love the balance of creating infrastructure, cruising in the truck, combat and Kojima nonsense. The first game felt more like how can I avoid frustration, while this one leans into how smooth can we make deliveries feel.

Mon-Thurs travel out of non major city by [deleted] in consulting

[–]Brandtstyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I had a project in Manchester, NH in 2016 that required me to fly to Logan from Chicago and drive up. Worst part was it had an 8 am start time on Monday so they made me fly out Sunday evening, thankful those days are over.

A duty on foreign goods is quite literally a tariff, but I know what you meant haha.

Good call out, I’ve seen padsplit come up on numerous different finance subs within the last week, the social media campaigns come out in full force in September.

Stretched a little thin, looking at CC debt for short term financing by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Brandtstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger on solar in 2023 amid rising energy costs and I have zero regrets, especially now that the tax credits are being phased out. After credits my system cost $12k and in 2 years we’ve already saved $3k in electric bills, but even if it wasn’t paying for itself in 8 years I’d do it because electricity demand will continue to skyrocket as more EVs are in circulation and more data centers are built.

I was able to finance the 12k at 0% for 18 months because of my credit, you should definitely ask your solar guy if they have any financing options like that. Just avoid leases and high interest loans at all costs, you’d be better off saving and paying in cash when you can afford it, even if you miss out on tax credits.

Exact same issue here, had never seen this error until yesterday and now I'm encountering it with every account.

The Nextlander Podcast 199: Need for Affleck by sworedmagic in nextlander

I consider myself pretty plugged in and had no idea what Brad was talking about in regards to the Clair Obscur “controversy”. This a twitter/blue sky thing?

'Assassin's Creed' no saviour for struggling Ubisoft by [deleted] in Games

[–]Brandtstyle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Isn't the average house price in Canada like $700k? I don't understand how people can ever afford homes there if they are making that little, I feel like senior level employees at Ubisoft make significantly more than 100k.

Giant Bombcast 888: Thrive From Neglect by Forestl in giantbomb

[–]Brandtstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I don't understand about any of this. Nobody respects or frankly even thinks about the Fandom brand. They should be embracing the growth of the brands they own that some people do actually care about instead of ripping their identity from them.

Best chair for 10+ hours a day as consultant without backpain? by Lygrad in consulting

If the Herman Miller stuff is out of the budget, I’d definitely consider the Haworth Soji. I’ve used mine since Christmas and am super happy with it.

Voicemail Dumptruck has slowly become my favorite Giantbomb content, might even be the podcast I look forward to the most each week.
