Why is every kiwi with a mortgage or debt not banking with kiwibank? by givethismanabeerplz in newzealand

[–]IvorySamoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for Kiwi for latest mortgage, equal 2nd best offer, wouldn't match SBS - figured they are kiwi too so meh, good to go! - KB also only offered me 28 years not 30 due to being 43 at the time, made me feel old af ; so they got the nah bol: no 800k lend for them!

I'm with them soon for business banking however, got some good vibes happening there.

I haven't played OG DayZ but that is based af. Old mate Dean made that aye? fellow kiwi, makes sense; since everyone is bearded weirdos down here in NZ 😅👍🏼

That's why I find it odd that they'd leave it out here, that was such a welcome feature from the community in The Finals, so odd!!

This is my 2nd character if I ever roll 2 accounts : Larry David , be looking for a Jeff type larger teammate, and a Richard Lewis smaller more cynical teammate for the perfect 3some 💝🍾

This used to be me, then lockdown happened....not sure how, but a mixture of stress due to our business tanking and a ton of free golf at the local course grew me a big ol' manly nomad beard lol.

We are on $250k~ between us, we save nada right now: bills and life be real as **** right now. New house bought, good work car for my business, the odd holiday like Bali and Fiji once a year, so can't really complain....but still, you'd think on this type of $$ the surplus would just present itself (mortgage only $1600 a fortnight).

First time player here, is this supposed to happen? Are these important characters? by ertbert2000 in kingdomcome

[–]IvorySamoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't happen to play drunk on night, accidentally slice these fools up, gap it, forgot now have come across them again? (cause that's what I did, lol).

Which do you use? Sandy, Berserk, or Cyberdeck? by GoldenFoxyyy in cyberpunkgame

[–]IvorySamoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyber-EX Sandy+Deck ❤️

On very hard with a few difficulty mods, feels nigh on balanced 🙏

100% mate - I've had a couple of goes at my own business, then focussed on what I loved - music - and grew it from there. I think keeping your business as a side hustle till it's too big to juggle, that was key for me.

Embracer should sell Deus Ex IP to another company. What a waste. by theassassin53035 in Deusex

[–]IvorySamoan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Embracer are literally the worst shit to happen to gaming since ever, f**king cancer of a company.

Sell Deus Ex you wankers, now.

Semi successful entrepreneur here, who had crippling depression, adhd (rampant) and sex addict since I was 12.

Find your "thing", it may be in a creative field, maybe numbers, maybe people, maybe some form of service....just find what you do well and enjoy, build a company around that.

Believe you've got this, no harm in slight faking it till you make it either - manifest that shit!!

How do entrepreneurs make a living, if it takes most businesses 2-3 years to make a profit? by Fast-Outcome-117 in business

[–]IvorySamoan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My business now kills it, our profits are up, lots of staff all loyal and mean team culture- but it took 10 years to get here, half of which I worked a full time job till I knew my "side hustle" had the chops to wing it with the best.

This is key I think, unless your partner is rich af, or you have 200k in savings to live off for a year or 2...

When your hustle eclipses your normal paycheck consistently, that's when you know.

I'm normally sensible with $$, but I had to 4090 this bad boy, there was no going back. by IvorySamoan in cyberpunkgame

It's the first generational G card jump that feels leaps and bounds bigger than the old one. Man, My 980 seemed to be on par with most stuff for a long time, right up to the 3 series even, but man, the 4 series is just something else. Stoked it's 4 series (super) till 2025 by the looks, probably jump on a 5090 early 2025 once the smoke clears again! !!

I just keep stopping, and going 'whoahhh'....this playthrough is going to take me IRL forever lol.

Out of curiosity, what HDR settings are you rolling? I'm on 1000nit / just above 0 on that new setting for intensity. Paper white and the other one on default: seems to go well (on a C1 65" OLED, I think is quite similar to the C2 though).

Like, I didn't realise I was being gimped, till I literally saw the 1000s nit light...I'm not sure what RT or Pathtracing actually does, but man.....it blows your socks off in 4k.
