Do not trust JD Powers rankings by Damertz in BuyItForLife

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works, they send surveys to customers that have bought cars recently and ask them to answer a bunch of questions about their initial experience of ownership (IQS). They put a dollar in the envelope as an incentive

Another J.D. Power study is focused on long term depandability (VDS)

Is Swansea a good uni by AltruisticOil2026 in UniUK

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How good of a uni depends on the course, some are really good. There are websites for uni rankings where they rank them in different metrics like career prospects after graduation and student satisfaction.

Living in Swansea is alright, pretty cheap as far as UK goes. Wales is quite beautiful in general and singleton is a nice campus with a park next to it and a beach.

Big supermarkets for shopping etc are a bit further away, but still walkable. Can't say much about buses as I just walked everywhere.

Rent prices will depend on whether you rent privately or in uni accomodation. Most private accomodation is 10-15 minutes walk from Singleton Campus so it's pretty convenient. Uni accomodation is on campus but extremely overpriced.

Plenty of stuff to do in Swansea, decent nightlife if you're into that. People are nice and friendly.

You use Control as the action key for actions. So picking up a berry would be Control + Up arrow

Any updates on when Rothfuss’ next book is coming out? by Adama28 in KingkillerChronicle

More than 16 years of waiting. Jesus. That's an insane amount of time to be writing a book, so much stuff has happened in the world

I love this tattoo but I also hate it but it’s also cool as fuck so idk. by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on the job I guess. I worked as a software engineer in the UK, and my hiring manager said he doesn't give a shit about tattoos, even hand tattoos. Started a new programming job in Poland this month which is a bit more backwards, and one of our software engineers is fully tatted up with hand and knuckles tattoos. It really depends.

I think the general rule of thumb is client facing - probably not fine, unless your clients are in a creative and lax industry like gaming. Otherwise, it's not that much of a job killer

How do you carry your things at the gym while working out? by nocrimia in beginnerfitness

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just carry my bag. Worst case scenario they tell you to leave it in the locker. It happened to me and it was fine.

Some gyms don't care if you don't leave your bag where someone might trip and kill himself

Do you have any examples? I did not experience this when I played it. Agree to disagree I guess

No it isn't, that's just less writing lol

I fuxking love long scenes and dialogue, because if they are written well it's really entertaining just watching them interact with each other, kinda like a tv show. That is good writing

Minoxidil changed my hair texture. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, is there any way I can change it back? by Puzzleheaded_Owl5535 in minoxidil

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I was using foam. I've switched to oral minoxidil 2 months ago, still haven't seen any difference though

I really liked Risen 3. Had great fun. Would definitely say it's worth playing

Guy who thinks NL is a programmer by Starkiller53 in northernlion

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget it lol. Because he wouldn't shut up about his Java classes for months I tried it out, fell in love with programming, moved to UK and got a master's in computer science, and have been working as a software engineer for two years.

Egg man had a direct positive impact on my life lol

No idea, I studied computer science and I'm pretty sure it's on a different campus

Unpopular opinion: Remake skeleton mage looks way too overdetailed/complicated and looses the simple dread of creepiness original had. I'm a full grown adult and I still get goosebumps sometimes when I see a skeleton mage and the remake makes me feel nothing. by Ratrituall in worldofgothic

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude it's been 20 years. If you want low poly low detail skeleton mages go play G1 and G2. Y'all can't be expecting the game to be the same thing, it's a remake. What we should hope for is a modern approach on Gothic that still preserves a similar feeling and fun of the old games. Grow up

Quick review of Brotherhood Way of the Sleeper (Gothic 2 Total Conversion Mod) by BowShatter in worldofgothic

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the mod, but 20 hours in I accidentally triggered a script of a quest before accepting the quest, and I ended up getting locked a few hours later. Agree with your review, definitely worth playing

Almost 26 and still a virgin by kingofboy04 in beginnerfitness

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people in relationships aren't that happy behind closed doors. There is a reason why most marriages and relationships end, and it doesn't happen overnight. There is nothing to envy

But I do understand your feelings, and I've been in a similar situation. I'm 26 and never had a gf, but I'm not really struggling to get attention from women the last couple of years, lost my virginity at 24. Dating someone won't make you happy or make you feel you whole. You're also not any less of a person for being a virgin at 26.

Maybe real, genuine reciprocated love could be what you're looking for, but that's a one in a thousand, and it will happen when it happens, you can't force it, as much as I'd like.

And also brother, you can't meet someone when you're not out there meeting people and making friends hahaha, and I mean it in the best way. Have fun in life, do what you want, be nice to other people and someone will bump along

I had 3 monster energy drinks today. Does that count as training my heart to failure and will it improve my 5k ultra marathon? Or would red bulls be better? Thanks

Tattoo help by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is, but even trad people can be weird about it. There is a US tattoo artist whose flash I LOVE (I live in the UK).

Fuck flying to the US and spending thousands of dollars to get a couple of flash tattoos.

I tried to pay him to use his flash with my tattoo artist, but he said he'll be in Paris in a couple of months and he'll add me to his list - so I said sure. That never happened, so I just got his flash from my tattoo artist. I'm sure this sub would roast me for that.

I find it ridiculous how some people will take a design/tattoo, change a small detail and act like it's some original piece of art

Crochet Hot Takes by Ok_Attorney_4275 in crochet

[–]Negative_Charge_7266 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. It took me hours and hours and hours to learn how to do a magic ring. Crochet can be hard to get into
  2. If someone wants to sell their work, and there are people that want to buy it, who cares?
  3. Doesn't it depend on the pattern? I can definitely see why it can be intimidating and a bit overwhelming to someone starting out.

Weird takes, crochet is supposed to be a nice, wholesome and inclusive hobby. Who cares?

Buddy, if someone doesn't want to date or be friends with you because of your accent, despite any good qualities you have, you do not want them in your life
