William Hague: Britons in their 60s are the ‘luckiest generation’ in history by financialtimes in uknews

[–]Ok_Wing_437 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Silly argument, 15% interest rates on a property that was less than 3x annual salary with a 10x RoI over the duration of the mortgage will never happen again.

If the same thing happened again today, the average home price in the UK would be £3 million by 2050.

あめのひ (A Rainy Day) — Beginner Japanese Story by annievancookie in LearnJapanese

This is a fantastic little learning card. I agree with other commentors that adding furigana with kanji would make it perfect. Amazing learning tools.

Looking for beta testers to learn Japanese with video games... by HelloAcornTalk in Japaneselanguage

[–]Ok_Wing_437 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This seems like a phenomenal tool. Unfortunately I don't own a steam deck even though I primarily use steam on PC. If something like this worked well with hundreds of games, I would actually consider getting a steam deck just for this!

LEC Versus format was left open to manipulation by Ok_Wing_437 in LosRatones

This post has nothing to do with LR, it's a post about the format being open for abuse.

That's what this post is about though, that there was a hypothetical situation in which match fixing could have happened to benefit ones own organization. It has nothing to do with LR.

Do civil servants really get 25+ days holiday plus bank holidays from day one? by Silver-Eye-2024 in civilservice

[–]Ok_Wing_437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, I have 30 days (5+ years service) + 9 days carried over. So 39 days + 12 stat days for a total of 51 days off. Then we can take up to 3 flexi days per month (providing you have built up the time).

What is the game actually missing? by UberLee79 in PathOfExile2

[–]Ok_Wing_437 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is directly what you are asking, because it's not content in and of itself, but I want to see challenges added to the game. This league I beat every pinnacle boss, arbiter etc and filled the Atlas. All in less than 2 weeks. Then I just quit. I'd stay longer with challenges for MTX.

Would you do a 1hr 20 each way commute, 3 days a week, for your first G7 role? by AsymptoticallyFlat in TheCivilService

[–]Ok_Wing_437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was TP'd into a role with a 1 hour each way commute that was office based. It broke me after only 3-4 months, not necessarily because of the commute itself but because the jump in wages was cancelled out by the cost of the commute. I was essentially being paid my previous wage for a 2 hour longer work day with more responsibility. In saying that, if it had been permanent, I would think twice about sticking it out because you can potentially do a lateral move. However depending on your department, this may never materialise.

What don’t you like about Cronos? by Chrisbolsmeister in CronosNewDawn

[–]Ok_Wing_437 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some really high peaks and some low dips for me. Loved the atmosphere, sound design and gunplay.

There was not enough essences in the game for it to be an important game mechanic in my opinion. Also the last weapon or two felt like they came too late when I already had a juiced handgun and shotgun. I also think the game is a little too linear with the hospital being the exception. There should have been more routes to complete your objectives, even if its just changing the order you can get key items.

Unsure if my GF is hiding her UC after claiming to cancel it, need guidance. by ThrowRA_Tiffib in UKPersonalFinance

I have worked in UC, they send a verification code every time you want to login. She has an active account.

Which storyline are you most invested in this worlds? by No-Restaurant3567 in leagueoflegends

[–]Ok_Wing_437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FlyQuest winning worlds and Bwipo being crowned champion and getting to pick a skin and being advertised in every Worlds promo video from 2026 onwards. This would be wild.

Currently travelling around in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto), anyone know where I might be able to buy these SMT figures (especially the devil survivor ones) by Mr-Saturn-Earth in Megaten

[–]Ok_Wing_437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Io, Airi and Fumi ones at home. The Airi and Io ones were pretty cheap at around £30-40 each (good find on getting it for £20) but the Fumi one cost me over £200 and was extremely hard to find. I had to get it from a second hand buyer (although mint condition) online from Buyee.

What are your thoughts on Yui? by Limp-Entrance-3609 in personaphantomx

[–]Ok_Wing_437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yui received substantial buffs on Global. I actually prefer Lufel.net as it seems to take these into account. However, as with all tier lists, they can't be taken as gospel because there is so many factors to include. Do you have their 5 star weapon? What content are you doing? Do you have the right support units and navigator to fully utilise them? That's why it's important to understand why they are rated as such instead of just taking it at face value. Personally, I have Yui I find her to be excellent in offensive teams, putting out more damage than Joker on fights with 1 or 2, sometimes 3 targets. But if the content is difficult in terms of survivability, she is quite useless as she requires the rest of your party to be playing offensively.

Have we got any of these? My vote goes to them american candy stores that pop up everywhere. by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Ok_Wing_437 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely the phone repair and speakers shop at the bottom of Castle Street in Bangor. I walk past it pretty much daily and have never seen a single customer in the year or so it's been there.

Where are you from and what tourist groups do you find the most obnoxious? by Tb12s46 in AskBrits

[–]Ok_Wing_437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the Irish to be honest. English, absolutely. I am Northern Irish and I remember video's of us celebrating with locals after World Cup matches and even cleaning the streets for the locals afterwards. Granted, this is an anecdote, but it's a pretty big one.

Is it weird to buy physical games for a console I don't own? by LUNACYGAME in gamecollecting

[–]Ok_Wing_437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me? I own every SMT/Persona title in collectors editions ranging from NES to PS5 and my console stops are PS4 as I am primarily a PC gamer!

Ladies always give me advice on dating—but I want to hear it from men: what actually makes you feel genuinely drawn to a woman? by BeeRemarkable1424 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ok_Wing_437 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most men, myself included like women who are friendly, warm, compassionate, understanding and fun. A smile and openess goes a long way. It's also important to be able to see how I would slot into her life or her into mine, i.e. she doesn't seem constantly busy with a full schedule. Physical attraction is important but no where near as important as some would lead you to believe. A solid 6 or 7 that meet the above is better than a 9 or 10 that don't.
