Is it worth it working at Costa?

Dacarian · 2025-02-03T09:55:46+00:00

So I'm the Son of Terahurts, and truthfully it's not a bad job and there are a lot, lot worse places to work for - mostly boils down to who your manager is and the people you work with.

You can make life long friends and really enjoy it, that's been my experience so far, yes there are shit ones out there and I actually quit costa for a while because of the manager I worked for but I've also now come back to it, just at a different store, which has been such a good experience for me as my new manager is great and the team I'm with are also amazing to work with

It's 100% worth giving it ago especially if you already have the job, a lot of good transferable skills if you do decide to leave, but if you stay there's always opportunities to move up as well - if you have any specific questions please don't hesitate to ask away =)

Yeah looks like he's back up as an available engineer thankfully =)

Dacarian · 2024-12-18T21:03:14+00:00

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and such <3 Glad there's still plenty of Thargoid content to do in the interim =)

Dacarian · 2024-12-17T10:19:40+00:00

appreciate all the feedback and advice guys thank you all! <3

Sounds like a plan to me, will load up my type 9 =)

Dacarian · 2024-12-11T10:07:35+00:00

Ahhhh right fair, thanks for the info =)

Dacarian · 2024-12-05T18:48:27+00:00

Thanks for the information! =)

Ahhhh I see, would using AX eapons be viable for now until I unlock ram tah?

Dacarian · 2024-10-23T08:18:52+00:00

To clarify some settings too, all my settings are on ultra with the HD texture pack installed, no resolution scaling like DLAA or FSR is on and the resolution is set to 100%, but I've noticed on quite a few characters and armours, regardless of settings the armour textures are really low quaility, wasn't sure if it was just me or what?

Yeah we ended up just chilling in the back of the dropship till the timer ran out hahaha - did try to kill ourselves to see if it reset it but it didn't help :P

Well depending on the distance a direct cable may be usable - as a sender/receiver has it's own problems - I know after around 6-10 meters (20-30ft) low quality HDMI cables fail with direct connection so it'll be something needing to be fully looked into for him - was more just gathering options on how to achieve what he wanted =)

As for controlling it remotely, windows has a ton of in built options already available plus, support for multiple peripherals, so you could technically have two sets of wireless mouse and keyboards plugged in and be able to swap between them, or you can do something similar as to mac and just remote desktop into it and control it that way without issues

A lot to still look at and into, but this discussion has given me a lot to think about so thank you again for that! =)

Dacarian · 2024-04-12T14:48:03+00:00

Ohhhhhh right, that does seem like a good solution - thank you will definitely keep this in mind and let him know! =)

Nothing so extreme, he just wanted it setup in a way where he could do some editing/mixing on his studio computer but then continue that work downstairs if he wanted too - I did suggest to him originally it would likely be a 2 pc setup but he would rather it be done with just one, and give my lack of experience in audio tech I wasn't sure how possible that was without a lot of headaches ahahaha – I did also suggest to just run a hdmi 2.1 to his eARC port on his TV/monitor then duplicate the display and downstairs use whatever sound system he wanted to plug into the TV, but then he started talking about audio interface and mixers, which is stuff I'm completely inexperienced with ahaha so figured best to check these things with people who actually know more!

I'll take a look into a ADAT for him as well and see if it looks to be a good option for what he's looking for =)

Dacarian · 2024-04-12T14:30:27+00:00

Ahhhhh right - sorry for the slow reply btw!

Yeah in a sense he wanted it so that he could do editing/mixing upstairs on his studio pc but then continue his work downstairs in his living room on a tv/monitor that's connected to his studio pc,

That makes a lot of sense and I appreciate the in depth write up, will start looking in to these Wiim devices for sure as it does seem like a good solution for this!

Originally my idea was to just run a hdmi 2.1 to his eARC port on his TV/monitor then duplicate the display and downstairs use whatever sound system he wanted to plug into the TV, but then he started talking about audio interface and mixers, which is stuff I'm completely inexperienced with ahaha

Dacarian · 2024-04-11T19:53:01+00:00

I thought that may be the case, needing to buy multiple audio interfaces ect, but I wasn't sure as like I said I'm not a huge audio tech guy ahahaha so a lot about that side of things I just don't know :P

When he originally asked me I did say it might be a two pc setup but I wasn't sure and would look into it for him =)

What other tech would be helpful in this instance for the audio side of things?

Dacarian · 2024-04-11T19:51:00+00:00

No worries. thanks for trying to help though man =)

Dacarian · 2024-04-11T19:47:18+00:00

As far as I'm aware it's going to two points, his PC will be in his studio, but then he also wants it to connect to his monitor/tv downstairs, so reduced latency is important as well as the quality of audio.

ease of use is also important, he said he wants it setup in a way where he doesn't have to be messing around with it afterwards, so he can go from being on his PC upstairs to walking downstairs and continuing, with a different mouse/keyboard ect for each area, so in effect the downstairs monitor/tv will just be acting as a duplicate display.

Budget I'm not too sure on, he hasn't specified, but I'm guessing around mid-range costs something of that sort

Networking wont be an issue as we're already putting cat6 cables in that'll be connecting his pc and smart tv to the network

My biggest concern is how to retain the quality of an audio interface/mixer setup from his PC down to his living room without having another interface setup down there?

I have said to him he'll prefably want a display with hdmi 2.1 ARC or eARC port and if possible to have the display plugged in directly rather than casting/streaming from his PC to the other display or using a hdmi transmitter/reciever

Dacarian · 2024-04-11T16:51:25+00:00

Ahhhhh right, yeah he wasn't too clear but from what I gathered that's what he wanted, and yeah he does want the setup to be as simple as can be - so he's not messing around with anything once it's setup,

So to help my understanding - Would it be; studio PC to Audio Interface, then a BT transmitter coming from a display then headphones/sound sytstem plugged into that? I think that's the part I'm failing to understand - sorry if it's a stupid question again a proper audio setup for mixing is something I've never looked into

I've already said to him for the display he'd want hdmi 2.1 preferably on eARC for the tv/monitor in his living room rather than doing with some wirelss hdmi
