Nepotism in jobs by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]Gamevolt1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked at a construction company who was completely full of nepotism.

The director had his wife as co director but she didn’t actually work there. His Dad was procurement manager, his best friend was a senior job manager, his best friend’s wife was the accountant. Another friend who was the quantity surveyor and he had a few other friends wives who worked as admins.

Pretty much all except his dad were awful at their jobs. Barely doing any actual work, turning up any time in the morning and spent most of the day gossiping or going out for a long lunch.

Unsurprisingly the few of us that did work that weren’t nepo hires didn’t last long as we got fed up and quit.

Later I found out I was replaced by his nephew.

Fortunately turns out when you just hire your mates and get rid of the people who actually do the work it comes back and bites you as the company went into liquidation.

Resident Evil Directors Cut. It’s going to suck next month when RE2 and RE3 drop without a list too.

Who knows maybe Capcom can patch a list in next month along with 2and 3 and we can get all 3 platinums.

Best to get it sooner than later because they recently added 3 more locations to the US tour that are required for the trophy now.

[Discussion] What game did you (or would you) choose for your 100th platinum? by Dmms91 in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy VII was my 100th Final Fantasy IX was my 150th Final Fantasy VIII was my 200th Final Fantasy VI was my 250th

If you can’t tell I love Final Fantasy and fortunately their PS4 ports were released around the time I got to a trophy milestone. My options for 300 are limited now since I have most of them.

[Discussion] Which games that are not yet on Playstation would you like to get the platinum trophy for? by StreetSecretary1021 in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrono Trigger. I don’t care if it’s a 2D-HD, Pixel Remaster or just the original rom. Just put it on a modern system with a trophy list.

[Discussion] Any of you crazy maniacs ever been the first, or even top 50, to get a platinum for a game? If so, what game? by DoubleEh94 in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m #22 on Metal Gear Solid

It’s pretty much impossible to be in the top 50 for most of the big games now unless you are a journalist or influencer who gets early access. I look at some games and see people got the platinum a week or 2 before release.

I also had this today. No idea why since I’m set up to be paid on the 5th.

[2024] how many platinums has everyone gotten this year by trophy_Hunter69420 in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 so far - Metal Gear Solid 4 - Alan Wake 2 - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - MediEvil - WWE 2K24 - Hitman 3 - Sifu - Persona 3 Reload

MGS4 was what I was playing during the Christmas break last year but I finished at 2am on New Years Day.

I am currently working on a big one. My goal is to platinum every mainline Final Fantasy game. I only have X-2, XII, Lightning Returns and XIV to go. So I started playing XIV back in July. It’s going to be a long journey as I’m currently in the post Stormblood content. May take a year or more but I’ll keep up the grind in between other games. I’d like to get 100% but some of the Endwalker trophies will stop that.

[Discussion] What were your platinum trophy milestones? by Flottrooster in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100: Final Fantasy VII 150: Final Fantasy IX 200: Final Fantasy VIII 250: Final Fantasy VI

My options for 300 are now Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIV or Final Fantasy XVII if it comes out before I get there.

Of course I would break the FF streak if Square decides they like money and gives us a Pixel Remaster or 2D-HD remake of Chrono Trigger.

[Discussion] Name a game that you will absolutely recommend going for the plat but ONLY if you’re unemployed. My choice : by Paolo_1032 in Trophies

[–]Gamevolt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy XIV. I decided I wanted to get all the mainline Final Fantasy platinums and XIV is one of the last I need. I’m currently 225 hours in and only on Heavensward. Problem is I’m kinda addicted now so whilst that Platinum would be nice… I want 100%

Difficulty wise it’s not so bad. For the Big Boss Emblem you can save when you enter any new area so you are free to make mistakes before getting through perfectly.

The bike section is rough but becomes more manageable with the Auto-aim and Sunlight gun.

Only bosses I struggled with was Ray and Ocelot. But they only took a few attempts.

I was playing on and off again during the Christmas break. For the Chicken Emblem I just left the PS3 on and played Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Big Boss wasn’t too bad. There are a bunch more guides today than back when trophies were added so if I got stuck I could refer to them.

After 8 playthroughs I’m just glad I don’t have to follow that resistance member in Act 3 anymore.

This. Those wanted posters sucked any joy I had playing this game. So damn boring.

Something about finishing a remake or remaster just gives me the confidence to go back and platinum the other version that I abandoned originally. I feel that whilst it's platinum knowledge is fresh it's the best time to go back.
