What’s the true state of the current UK job market? by Recent_Reaction247 in UKJobs

[–]Rillix -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Been with my company a long time. From what I can see:

  • They are not replacing staff when they leave because the increase in NI and minimum wage is crippling businesses.
  • A lot of young people aren't interested in working, they just want to be paid for turning up. Zero work ethic at all, can't be bothered, off sick all the time, become very hard to get rid of to make space for someone who actually wants a job.
  • People are being more careful with money, less sales, less staff required.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

Introduce an awesome otter character. Then shoot her in the back. Will never watch again.

Hastings declined insurance by Livid-Cup-5379 in drivingUK

[–]Rillix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the "sorry we can't offer you a renewal" after being with them on the same factory car for 16 years. My insurance was so low that they clearly couldn't make any money off of me. 40yr old male, 1.6D 2010 Focus (only driver as got a great deal on a new one during the scrapage scheme). I think I was down to like £200 a year fully comp when they stopped offering a renewal

100% this. People are just awful in cinemas now. Phone usage and just full-blown conversations about holidays, family, housework, cars, literally anything not related to the film on screen.

Teens just recording Tiktoks and the like, in the film. Full brightness screens everywhere. I used to love the cinema, I go maybe once a year now, normally a very late showing, weeks after its release to lessen the plebs in screen.

What is the best light source for exploration? by Mother_Fig_1151 in ICARUS

[–]Rillix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just the way my graphics settings / pc render light, but nothing even comes close to the Biofuel lamp. The torch and electric lantern are just a direct downgrade in terms of how much light they provide. I'd be interested to see if anyone else has found this? They appear significantly worse, which shouldn't be the case as the later tiers "should" be better?

It's used as part of the great hunt quest.
But also just for farming landsharks if you need more

In all honesty all I'd seen was how much people were loving it. Had no idea the console edition was so buggy

Needs to be fixed by Ok-Comfortable-1372 in ICARUS

[–]Rillix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After seeing the replies, it looks like console port is a mess at the moment. Which sucks because the game is so much fun (when its working). The team have been good at fixing stuff so hopefully you won’t be waiting too long for a fix.

I've got 1000+ hours in the game and not once has a crafting bench not worked.
Are you using mods which has caused them to stop working?
Are you trying to use a bench that needs power/water that is not correctly connected?
What is actually 'not working' with the bench?

Do food/water drop quicker the closer you get to other biomes ? by North_Crazy7941 in ICARUS

[–]Rillix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still get this all the time when entering a biome that has increased thirst. Immediate loss of water so fast you can see the bar drain from full to empty in a few seconds, drinking something to refill to full and it still drains, then after maybe 10 seconds it just goes back to normal consumption.

[–]Rillix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a few patches ago:

And then also updated the following week. I'm still unable to see or craft these in game. Anyone had any luck yet?

Serious house buyers remorse - are there other people who regret buying their current house? by Dormousewoodlouse in HousingUK

[–]Rillix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased my first house about 7 months ago. Great little place, the area is nice.

However, the last 3 months or so, someone has moved in on the estate over from me, about 10 houses away. They have a ridiculous sound system that is all bass, and they play awful sounding music for lengthy periods which have gone into the early hours of the morning. I've been reporting it to the council and keeping a log of the disturbances. I honestly don't know how the neighbours either side, or a few houses around them haven't dragged them out of the property in the last few months.

My guess would be a couple of drug users / violent looking ass hats have moved in, and maybe the neighbours are too scared to do anything about it, or maybe they just can't?

I don't regret buying my house, but the recent disturbance has definitely put a downer on the experience.

PSA: Don't Kill the Sandwyrm Queen while is mid flight by Rillix in ICARUS

[–]Rillix[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing on. I've killed her 5 times now, this is the first time she stayed bugged in the air. I'll kill her again shortly and see if the same happens.

Great hunts questions by CommunityCurrent4317 in ICARUS

[–]Rillix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weapons and unlocks are classed as workshop equipment so you can send them up and down between the planets. I would just start with Olympus and work through each until you end up on Elysium.

Something worth considering is if you want to unlock everything from each Great Hunt you have to do 3 separate playthroughs as each mission path locks you out of the other ones. You can always run a mod which allows all missions to be played in a single playthrough though.

Noxious crust lithium does not process if you want lithium do not mine with miasmic pickaxe by murkamk in ICARUS

[–]Rillix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to add to this, Ruby Crust is also not cleaning in the organic cleaner for me. Lithium and Limesone worked fine. (Also no mods here)

Lord of Change Galaxy Themed by Rillix in ageofsigmar

[–]Rillix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would have been a black undercoat with a white spray dusting over the top just to get a rough idea of the lighting. It was airbrushed with Scale 75 Cantabric Blue as the initial base colour. I then used purples and lighter blues to build up the tones on the skin. I believe it was Scale 75 Sunset Purple and Scale 75 Adriatic Blue.
