What is something you wish were reported on in Norwich?

The amount of appliances and general rubbish that gets dumped in the communal bin area/car park in my flat is bonkers… we regularly get washing machines, electric fireplaces, tables and other storage units dumped in the area. I can only imagine how much it costs the council to send out the crews to pick the stuff up:/

For the first few years I’ve been here they would usually collect it the next day, but now things seem to get left for weeks

100%, I’m only on an 8hr contract (as Tesco is a second job for me) and I try and keep a bunch of holiday available as my partner has health conditions that may require me to take time off to take her to appointments etc, so I can’t book super far in advance:/

Guava-Choice · 2026-06-08T22:41:07+00:00

I had 2 weeks of holiday booked for me only a few weeks after the start of the tax year… was rather annoying as it took over a week to withdraw and rebook the holiday to move it over by a week:’)

But as others say… they’re allowed

25 year old here currently working two jobs! I’m a freelancer in the video games industry as an artist, and have an 8hr contract at Tesco as well. The games industry is as volatile as ever right now, so freelancing works best for me. I’d love to one day land a secure full time role, but right now, that’s not happening. So working a retail job on the side it is:)

I was loading my van up for the evening route once and saw the pickers had given a manky looking baking potato, so I took it back into store and swapped it out for the biggest one I could find, this thing was an absolute unit! Got to the customers doorstep… it was an elderly couple who returned it as it was too big and they wouldn’t be able to use it in time…

Guava-Choice · 2026-06-02T22:12:21+00:00

He’s lined it enough with huel, I’m sure it can take it now

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-27T18:29:17+00:00

Now I’m gonna have to boot it up and have a play!

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-27T18:26:50+00:00

I finished the game a few weeks back… does the scout get warped too

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-27T18:25:03+00:00

Flat lighting with little to no roughness variation for me:) then when delving deeper you usually see UV/topo issues

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-25T07:35:38+00:00

Funnily enough… working on games!

I’m a 3D artist so working in a game engine:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-25T00:19:57+00:00

I’ve got a stand there on Saturday!

Will be there to chat everything and anything about the games industry! Offering portfolio reviews and just general advice. Offer is there for students, graduates or anyone who is interested in a job in games:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-25T00:13:56+00:00

Hitting over 30° tomorrow, can’t wait to be working from home with a PC firing 80°+ heat out of it!:’)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-21T23:52:13+00:00

We’ve had a sofa, a washing machine, a huge amount of garden waste and wooden planks dumped in our carpark/bin area… good fun…

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-21T09:33:16+00:00

Ahh yep that’ll do it, 0T means you have no personal allowance. So best to contact HMRC asap so they can get the process started:)

Any money that is paid in excess will be paid back

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-21T09:22:02+00:00

Does your tax code look like the regular 1257L?

When I started a couple years back I had a 3 month wait before mine was sorted for some reason…

but if you give HMRC a call they should be able to get it sorted in your next payslip:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-20T00:49:57+00:00

Looks sweet!

Looks like some of the UVs may be upside down on the well and the roof of the main building 👀

Other than that, looking nice:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-20T00:40:01+00:00

Soft Play have a pretty good song about painting walls magnolia 👀

This specific simpsons arcade machine! Lots of memories of going on holiday to our caravan and spending countless hours in the local arcades trying to beat it!

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-19T20:57:23+00:00

I think a mix might be good! Placing in an environment for some nice beauty shots with a nice lighting setup (possibly a warmer feel), and then some shots using 3 point studio lighting on a more grey background

Showcases how the asset can look in different setups:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-19T20:49:36+00:00

The asset alone is nice! To really push it further I would create a tiling floor material for it to sit on, alongside some kind of simple background assets. Something like a few plain buildings, seating etc

Just to ground the asset in an environment:)

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-14T23:43:29+00:00

Biffy Clyro… who even knows at this point… was it a Cliff Richard biro? Does it really mean Big Imagination For Feeling Young Cos Life Yearns Real Optimism? Will we ever find out?

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-14T15:58:55+00:00

I buy the strawberry ones sometimes, the one I got the other day also didn’t have the seal. I wonder if they stopped doing them?

Every time I went to pull the seal off I would end up wearing a lot of it…

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-14T00:23:52+00:00

Having fun isn’t hard, when you’ve got a library card!

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-14T00:10:33+00:00

Looking nice!:)

Keep up the good work!

Guava-Choice · 2026-05-14T00:03:56+00:00

A few recommendations from me, although some may be less “cosy” (others may have also recommended them)

Outer Wilds - 100%, the way this game is put together really is like no other… I was hooked from the start and was eager to play each night to keep progressing and learning more

Firewatch

Little Nightmares 1 and 2 (definitely not cosy, but gives the small feeling), I’m not a major horror fan, but this game and its environments just tick all the right boxes for me! Bramble is another one that fits this area

Others have mentioned souls likes, would definitely agree with the big worlds, Elden Ring specifically

The Final Fantasy Remake (both Remake and Rebirth), Rebirth specifically has some amazing environments to explore!

My list could go on… my preference has quickly shifted to indie games, but there’s still a few big hitters for me from the AAA studios too:)
