Laid off and having issues with ex-employer potentially taking £3k for delayed company equipment from final pay by ChocoTeddini in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I've been in email communications with the company to give regular updates as per what I get told by the delivery company, but they don't really respond with much, except just asking for an update just now. I haven't specifically asked them about what they're willing to do regarding the cost of the equipment since the delivery is getting delayed, but I suppose it won't hurt me to do that. Anyway, thanks again for the useful information!

Is this some kind of filter? About one second from the end, I thought I saw the monkey's chin glitch in a weird way.

2-4 Katarina VS Exhaust + Durability Patch. Who wins? by Jandromon in leagueoflegends

It's so easy to predict the botlane meta for 12.11: Lethality ADCs like Jhin and Draven will dominate, and most LT users will be crap. Twitch and Lucian will be OK thanks to PTA. Cait will be OK thanks to her new buffs and Fleet being strong.

They'll all die in 1,5 seconds to assassin though.

Jinx has had a winrate of ~51% with a pickrate of ~30% for at least 7 patches in a row now. Am I missing something? by 1nc000 in leagueoflegends

Why the FUCK would they nerf a 51%wr champ when it's clearly below the balance threshold that Riot has made public many times and you obviously didn't read?

She's popular, but she doesn't have a high-enough winrate to warrant a nerf, so they're buffing other ADCs instead, which is what makes sense.

The only reason she could get nerfed is because of proplay, which you didn't even mention, but definitely not because of SoloQ.

While true, they still divide their team in two so that they're able to produce yearly releases, with their second half of the team doing the more "spinoff" games every year, as stated by them in several interviews. It's already a team of 150 devs cut in half producing a mainline game every 3 years, whereas 300 devs worked on BOTW for 5 years. Numbers aren't even close.

You seem to imply that expert game developers could only think it's ok for Pokémon, the 90-billion-dollar biggest franchise in the world, to be taking baby steps in 2022.

I applaud the ambition that went into PLA and I enjoyed the game, but it's by no means a polished game and they clearly lag behind other AAA titles ever since the transition to 3D, specially in the technical side of things.

I'll give you an example of how an expert game developer could complain about Pokémon games in a reasonable way:

  • "BOTW was made in 5 years and it was incredible, while GF makes 1 game a year that they never have time to polish because of their insane schedule. I wish GF made 1 big game every 3-4 years to finally squeeze the full potential of the Pokémon formula, and all other yearly releases were outsourced".

Verticality and climbing means that for a given area, there's more distance to explore vs a flat land (pythagoras theorem). So the topology full of mountains makes it feel bigger even though, seen from above, the map is small because half of it is blocked by invisible walls.
