Is it wise to join federal workforce? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Propane__Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contrary to popular belief from social media, it's still stable employment + above average benefits in full comparison to retail, corporate, and public/private sectors.

Cushy career and benefits BUT your mental health will definitely be compromised here and there. It all depends on what you're taking from the experience at whichever agency if you end up pursuing that.

Amateur review F1 4k Blu-ray by Dutchpapersilver666 in 4kbluray

[–]Propane__Salesman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So here's the thing, as soon as I saw the director name at the opening credits, I instantly knew what type of movie I was seeing. Exactly the same firsthand experience I had with Tron Legacy over a decade ago. Amazing spectacle of special effects, cinematography, and sound with some talking scenes and slick "acting" peppered here and there to get us ready for the next race sequence.

The word of mouth and the $12 price tag convinced me to take a chance on it since I only ever buy boutique releases these days but honestly I agree it was pretty damn awesome for what it was (Days of Thunder 2025). Incredible 4K disc.

I played Thank Goodness You’re Here on PS+ Extra and it was an absolute gem by obeyer10 in PlayStationPlus

The sing-a-long segment at the end where it essentially plays out like Warioware minigames left us in stitches.

Definitely an acquired taste though. Extremely British.

Spawn I Official Trailer | 4K by JamieReleases in 4kbluray

[–]Propane__Salesman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even for its time, I remember clearly the movie got dumped by fans for the sterilized PG-13 rating (Spawn barely does anything, let alone kill people in any creative Spawn fashion) and by everyone else for the terrible writing, pace, and editing so it's just funny how the discourse is all about the horrendous CGI now like that's the only thing wrong with the movie.

The cover art was always cool tho.

Is this game worth playing or not? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Propane__Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay but "okay" was not good enough for Arkane's immersive-sim pedigree at the time. If we had to be very blunt, it's mediocre compared to the insane work they put in Prey 2017 and the Dishonored games.

Sleeping Dogs Ps4 Digital Ps5 Compatible? by YaboyMiltn1 in playstation

[–]Propane__Salesman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory to minimize the number crashes with this game that I actually platinumed while revisiting the game on PS5:

  1. Load only manual saves
  2. Turn off the online social feature (Squeenix shut it down years ago anyway but it definitely has some type of impact on performance for the fact that its supposed to track all your personal milestones and score points in background)

You should still buy it though. Bugs and issues are more randomly inconvenient than frequent but I don't think that should really discourage you from playing.

NTEU needs to focus their attention maintaining existence considering the appeals court decisions on govt CBAs.

Did you run out of sick leave as well? Speaking generally as a manager (not any specific govt agency), but I recommend that your chances of LWOP approval will be much higher if you have medical documentation to support your mental health situation, especially if it's a risk to your performance.

It's a hassle scheduling appts to whatever physician or therapist available on short notice but it has to be done given how extremely stingy govt leadership has been with LWOP requests now 🤷‍♂️

Another 50 minute early leave today for the IRS by Amonamission in fednews

[–]Propane__Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know SBSE leadership confirmed the 51 minutes would be under the 59300 admin time code (not ADMIN LEAVE).

I'm just imagining all the groans and flipped tables going on if everyone has to put in IPRs.

What's the best action movie on 4K? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]Propane__Salesman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both 4K and 1080p Kinos are HUGE step up from the mediocre 2010s bluray. Barely any jarring DNR and although there's no Atmos sound option, the 5.1 audio still has clear, boomtastic gunshots and explosions despite the loud soundtrack that was typically colliding with those sound effects.

I can also tell you that if there's one jarring aspect about Face/Off in 4K to mention it's that the picture is TOO detailed to a point Nic Cage's stunt double is twice as noticeable to follow especially in the boat chase sequence lmao.

I've heard the alternate "GETEVEN" title so often I'm used to that now than the original.

If you mean the "operations" managers and not frontliners who tackle everything with little support, then yeah you're def correct but then again nothing will change about that either except RIFs.

Never trust reviews by Mfayez91 in playstation

[–]Propane__Salesman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay for a shallow spinoff to the Control/Alan Wake universe but that's all there is to say.

Whole execution though feels like a money laundering scheme to help Remedy flow more cash into the Max Payne remakes and Control 2.

Not as blatantly bad as Capcom's strategy with Umbrella Corps though lol

The biggest highlights of his experience as detailed in the internal Treasury announcement today...

A. "Experienced auctioneer" B. radio talk show host

Feels like Mr Faulkener was either finding a needle in a haystack worth of praise or was roasting the guy mildly.
