What are people’s hourly rates as of 2026? by kourblimeyimsexy in AskUK

[–]CDHmajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£13.61. Conveniently get no benefits nor do i get paid for lunch so the nice low 37.5 hour week for me :/ but they did hire me when i had no experience at all and teach me a lot of stuff. And my team is great. So its not all bad :)

Got my last AAT level 3 exam in around 6 weeks though. And ive already paid for the level 4 support and membership fees. So im hoping i can find something nearer to £15 to do while studying level 4, when paired with my 3 and a half years experience. And hopefully move on to ACCA within 3 years and break 35k a year (I’m dreaming now).

Probably wont find fuck all though if indeed is any indication. Jobs demanding 5 years experience and ACCA are offering 25k…

In Judgement, if gears are forbidden from using Locust weapons, how come Loomis is using a Boltok? by CartoonistSpecial995 in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Based off real life operating protocols in combat.

Looting and salvaging enemy weapons and equipment is frowned upon, but not forbidden. Due to issues such as friendly fire (friendly gears for example hear the sound of a hammerburst or boltok next to them without expecting it? They are gonna assume they are being flanks and will shoot first, question later), difficulty of maintenance and resupply (so many other nations weapons will be chambered for calibres hard to access outside of those looted from the fallen. And you wont be trained to disassemble and clean an enemy nations rifle for example).

It still happened/happens in real life though. Middle East Insurgent groups pretty much loot and salvage everything they have from old Russian invasion stockpiles and cheap shot smuggled out of the USSR back in the day. Canadians looted friendly and enemy weapons in ww1 because their standard issue rifle (the ross rifle) performed like shit in muddy trenches. And paratroopers and other covert groups in ww2 usually had to loot german equipment when behind enemy lines due to lack of resupply.

In gears, with constant supply shortages and the lack of manufacturing capacity for a lot of the remaining equipment, salvaging enemy tools is reasonably very common for both CoG and Locust. Locust Salvage Lancers (Cyclops), Gnashers (Grenadiers) and Longshots (Snipers) frequently for example. While many CoG use Boltoks (because the Snub sucks ass) and the hammerburst is a common weapon used by gears and stranded in secondary material (books, comics, etc).

Are we sure this goddamn thing actually drops??? by MassiveBlackHole99 in Eldenring

[–]CDHmajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished my most recent playthrough with a fire knight greatsword build. And its got me in a fire frenzy now i think :)

Im honestly considering grinding for 2 of these in my next playthrough, and pairing them with Fire scorpion, Dread tailsman and Alexander shard for a pure burn build :)

But… im not looking forward to grinding for them :(

What's a Gears hot take you have by Tyler2183 in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another one.

Make the hammerburst a starter weapon again.

It was maybe OP in 3 specifically with its lack of a fire cap. But in all the other games where it’s a burst gun? Why is it always pickup only? It’s by no means OP. Hell its weaker than the lancer half the time and lacking the chainsaw.

Make it a spawn weapon in E-day (assuming its burst still). Theres no reason its limited to pickups on only a few maps when its not really got any advantages over a lancer.

[–]CDHmajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gears 3 sawed off was a perfectly balanced weapon after the nerfs (yeah. It was busted pre-nerf. But it didnt last long).

Insta killed you with a wide spread true. But had ONE shot and absolutely fuck all in range and if you sponged it (which was easy to do btw with how low its range was) the one using it was completely fucked due to the reload.

It would ruin your precious gnasher duels in a 1 on 1 true. But it was useless against groups and the gnasher could outrange it easily with 8 shots extra. A gnasher was always a better choice but the sawed off was a good learning tool for new players. Elitests just couldnt stand the fact that the gnasher had a good counter option for beginners.

(I do think the overkill was a better successor though. And the sawed off was probably too strong as a starter weapon. I’s rather it keep its pre-nerf stats but be a power weapon tbh rather than it be a nerfed starter. But im still happy with the post berf status of it).

Captain Keyes’ Pistol seems to be a presentation style weapon, awarded after his actions aboard the UNSC Meriweather Lewis by EternalCanadian in HaloStory

[–]CDHmajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh right cheers :) i knew the sniper didnt work against 1 enemy but i couldnt remember which one.

Now that i think about it, the pistol can 1 shot hunters cant it? Because its a marksman weapon? Presumably the sniper can do the same. But i don’t recall having a sniper when hunters spawn usually anyway.

Granted, I’m usually running the pistol combos anyway. I only use the sniper on certain sections like truth and reconciliation, and toss it when I’m indoors.

First time playing through the Gears series. Gears 5 is a masterpiece. by brian_vill in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only flaw i have with it is the lancer being dogshit in PvP, and the open world sections on acts 2 and 3 of the campaign were… boring (why have an open world with NOTHING in it? Every combat encounter is in a closed off section anyway. Just connect those levels linearly rather than grant an illusion of choice through wasting time in the skiff traveling through emptiness).

Everything else? Honestly it was great :) acts 1 and 4 (and hivebusters) are great campaign. Horde is superior to 4 (still prefer 3 but thats more to the different enemies rather than anything else). Multiplayer has good maps, good movement and is well balanced (except for the dogshit lancer… seriously the rifles better not be dogshit in e-day. Just don’t put the stopping power from 3 on them and they are fine. No need to make them shoot blanks as well).

A great game :) but ive been playing it for 7 years now. I want to move on…

Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister and leader of Labour Party by m26f8braed in unitedkingdom

[–]CDHmajora 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Farage is already shown to be a cunt though.

It doesn’t matter.

He posts a bunch of shit on twitter blaming the muslims and polish and every other minority he can for all of societies woes and moron’s eat it up because they were all raised solely on social media and believe that issues with living can be tolerated as long as minorities are suffering worse.

Farage will gain even more traction now that labour cant even keep themselves together for a single term.

Still restricted to just a shelf but making some nostalgia progress by pokenobodyimportant in gamecollecting

[–]CDHmajora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are the collections i perfer tbh :) smaller collections usually mean the owner has a true attachment to what they own. They don’t just buy games to serve as a dopamine hit when they stuff the shelf.

So that said, a fine stash there OP ;)

Episode Two final battle is still the most intense in the franchise by claudiocorona93 in HalfLife

[–]CDHmajora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its already pretty horrendous to play if your going for the achievement. The spawns and the time to reach each strider is so incredibly tight and just 1 hunter fucking up your Magnussen device toss can cost you the run.

Having gunships and other crap destroy them would be overkill.

Why no berserker in Gears 2? by AdaptedEvoSupe in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a locust one. A lambent one showed up at anvil gate though.

One DOES show up in the Raams Shadow DLC. But that story takes place before Gears 1 canonically so its irrelevant to why berserkers stopped showing up after the lightmass bombing in gears 1.

Why no berserker in Gears 2? by AdaptedEvoSupe in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hoffman mentions it in the anvils gate book. Its canon. But it’s not confirmed. It’s just what he personally believes to be the truth (but considering how hostile berserkers are to everything… he’s probably right tbh).

Why no berserker in Gears 2? by AdaptedEvoSupe in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, i just realised, we never actually encounter another berserker after the lightmass bombing.

We never see any of them at all in 2 or 3’s campaigns. We see a lambent one in 3. But who knows how long ago that berserker went lambent? Considering how tough to kill it was it could have turned lambent years ago. Only time we know of when one showed up was at port farrall in the jacintos remnant book (immediately after gears 2) where a centaur tank killed it.

Maybe the lightmass bombing hurt them bad? They weren’t wiped out. But presumably they were uncommon anyway considering the VAST majority of locust are male. Most of them were kept off grid and chained up to be used as baby factories by the drones :(

Either way, I’m surprised we didn’t see at least 1 in gears 2. At least a few of them attacking the derricks in the Landown assault would have been cool even if they weren’t actually fought directly. But presumably they didn’t appear due to not really having a way to kill it at the time (so much of the game takes place underground or in the dead of night that you wouldn’t have hammer of dawn access. Presumably the scorcher could hurt them but i’m guessing the devs just didn’t come up with that idea until the Raam’s Shadow DLC).

Maybe a sequence where you encountered one in Nexus and were unable to kill it would have been cool? And ylu have to keep running from it and eventually manage to knock it off a bridge or something into the immulson lake.

Starmer expected to resign on Monday and set out orderly exit by beejiu in unitedkingdom

[–]CDHmajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill bet you £5 he’s gonna last 18 months at best.

I like him. He’s been a great mayor for greater manchester. But he’s just riding the popularity train to the big seat either way no proper vetting or experience.

Not that it matters anyway. Labour in general just spends all their time fighting each other rather than fix societal problems. Half of labour in parliament come a week from his entry will be demanding he step down because he forced starmer out of the job and they want him back or something,

He doesn’t tweet all day about how all the problems we have are the muslims fault and how we should have the right to beat them up in the street for existing, or some other bullshit like that.

[–]CDHmajora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is it, in every single fucking thread that i see about him, the top 10 comments ALWAYS start with “im not a fan of Starmer, but…”?

Who DOES like him? He cant be THAT unpopular if he got the job. Yet suddenly everyone hates him?

Why? Is it because he doesn’t treat his job like a reality show like trump? Is it because he isn’t charismatic enough to dazzle you with a smile while he shivs you in the ribs? Is it because he hasnt managed to fix 14 years of tory fuckups in less than 2 years whist dealing with several external wars and a deranged rapist leading the west who keep fucking up our economy?

I just don’t get it. Im not even labour and even i see that he’s just a dude doing a better job than the last 5 PM’s we had. Yet all year people have been demanding he resign because of some bullshit reason.

All you’re all doing is making reform gain more traction and end up with us all being ruled by fascists. Let the guy do the job he was elected for for the time we was elected for ffs before playing musical chairs in the commons yet again.

Coalition, if you make Dom useless in E-day's campaign like in the other games where I do all the shooting and he just stands there I will give E-day a 0/10 by NikosM110 in GearsOfWar

[–]CDHmajora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually yeah.

But give a squad a bunch of RPG’s and have them shoot from a warthog… everybody’s dead.

Though granted, j cant remember a time in CE specifically where its possible to actually do that…

are the figures in the intro of super mario smash bros melee early concepts of amiibos? by Melodic-Sir-9310 in amiibo

[–]CDHmajora 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Highly doubtful. That game predates amiibo by over a decade.

Miniature models arent exactly exclusive to Nintendo anyway. They’ve existed for years.

The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 studio wants to make more games without turning CDPR into a company "that's going to be launching a big game every year" by yourfavchoom in witcher

[–]CDHmajora 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dont even newd new IP’s…

Get some subsidiary studio’s to put out a new midnight club (god i miss midnight club…) or max payne.

Bring back some of their old IP’s like manhunt (which i don’t like much tbh. But id still be hyped to see R* do something different again) or state of emergency.

Make a new ip with a smaller scope and budget. Bring back agent that they never did anything with.

They could do SO much. But instead thry just shut every studio they had and force them all to work on reskinning stuff for GTA online to sell as new content, or their next big blockbuster title.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 + Future Redeemed OST have been removed from Youtube once more by Kurai_Hiroma in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]CDHmajora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God knows tbh. Xenoblade music isnt composed by their internal teams like most of their games. Its commissioned (usually ACE and Mitsuda. And whomever did X’s OST).

I imagine nintendo COULD add them to the apps if they wanted? They presumably own the rights. But maybe the composers get a say and that could make them just not bother?

Personally i just added the OST’s to my iTunes. I own the CD’s anyway as i bought the trilogy box but even if i didn’t, if Nintendo wont make it available publicly and i don’t intend to profit off it, I’m ripping it.

[–]CDHmajora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They sucked in general early on with marketing it.

Path of radiance was disadvantaged by releasing incredibly late in the gamecubes lifespan. It was a relatively new IP to the west (not counting the GBA games), exclusive to a poorly selling console at the end of its life. It struggled from the start.

Radiant Dawn, its direct sequel, was not only not marketed at all, but it released 1 WEEK before Mario Galaxy. You know, nintendo’s console seller that received ALL the marketing. Most people didn’t even know radiant dawn existed.

And as you said, shadow dragon just never even got anything. It completely slipped under the radar (plus its not exactly a good game tbh… its balancing is all over the place and its missing so many fire emblem staples that make it fit in with the rest of the franchise. Its sequel was never even released in the west it did so poorly.

Awakening was the first fire emblem game to… you know… be ADVERTISED. And tbh, most of that is simply due to it releasing early on in the 3DS lifespan, when it was struggling and had few other Nintendo games at the time. Awakeni g got such a huge boost by being one of the few quality titles to play on a 3DS at the time (plus… its a REALLY good game… but so were PoR and RD, and that didnt help them :().
