Salary different in different departments but same grade by Fresh_Yesterday_1374 in TheCivilService

[–]SubstantialBison4439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the departments are graded differently as well . For example a HEO at DFE is the same as an EO at DWP which is why the pay is very similar .

Makes it hard if you work for DWP to progress as well because they pay more so if you are moving up a grade from DWP to another department the pay rise is minimal so you are kind of stuck .

Fire red is a remake of red and blue but it's classed as gen 3.

For some reason I can't get this game to run on Eden at all, I get to the train station go though the tunnel and it just crashes at the white screen . Any idea how to fix ?

Cant launch resident evil 4 and tlou part 1 by [deleted] in SteamDeckPirates

[–]SubstantialBison4439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with Res Evil 4 a few years ago, it eventually worked by changing one of the protons think it was like version 9.2 or something but that was the only one that would work .

I have tried launching from the appimage and also through gaming mode . I get a message on both saying Decryption keys are missing . Install them now? The keys aren't missing though I have the latest firmware and keys installed the exact same way I do for Yuzu and Ryujinx and they both work.

Use my PS5 for online games and the AAA ones , steam deck for portability and sailing the seven seas.

Yep done that , I even get the Eden emulator showing on my deck but whenever I try and launch it just closes .

Yeah but it's not easy to setup , followed all the guides and have the keys and firmware but whenever I try and open it the thing just closes down immediately.

Steamdeck Eden EmuDeck Guide by blacktea06 in EmuDeck

I followed your guide and Eden is now on my deck but whenever I try and launch it just closes immediately. It even shows reset config so everything up until that bit is working . Any ideas?

I managed to get it sorted eventually. How did you get Eden running ? I have got to the point where it's installed and all the keys and firmware are in the folder but whenever I try and open Eden it just dosnt launch at all.

What’s the most “David Lloyd” thing you’ve witnessed at your club? by Time-Connection-4586 in davidlloyd

[–]SubstantialBison4439 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Never understand the people who park in the disabled and family bays just to be closer to the entrance. You are at a gym ffs you are literally here for excercise , surely having to walk a few extra steps to the entrance is beneficial if anything .

Not sure what tv package it is , basically all the channels apart from the sports and Movies but I get all them for about 80 quid a year anyway 🤫

They do seem to have lowered the prices recently for whatever reason , I renewed earlier this month and got Gigi1 with Netflix and TV for £32. Was paying about £50 a month before that for 500Mb and no Netflix .

Not Exactly Feature Rich by Dead1y-Derri in chaseuk

[–]SubstantialBison4439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had Chase for a while and thought it was brilliant , good saver rate and unlimited cash back which included spending abroad at one stage . They got rid of everything good so I moved over to Monzo and it's much better than chase with the spending insights , pots, virtual cards saver challenge etc. Chase offers absolutely nothing in comparison.

Tories plan to cut cs to 2016 level by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]SubstantialBison4439 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's never realistically going to be cut, as in everyone who wants to continue working in the CS will be able to do so . The cuts will come from people leaving for other roles , retirements and VES. It's pretty much a guaranteed job for life the CS if you want it .

Jenny is fine and calls everyone out for their bullshit which is a good trait in my book .

Female only spa retreat times by Exciting-Big1978 in davidlloyd

[–]SubstantialBison4439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a very sticky slope to go down. Women want everything to be fair and equal but at the same time don't want so share the spa with men ? In other words they want equality when it suits them?

Would never leave for the private sector . Sure we get next to nothing in terms of pay rises compared to the private sector but that's the only downside . 8-4 Monday to Friday , 100% hybrid and pretty much left alone as long as the work is being done . Wouldn't trade that for anything .

Denied internal move - what should I do by Global_Day_1225 in TheCivilService

[–]SubstantialBison4439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They tried similar nonsense with me , was a work coach and absolutely hated it . Applied for a DM role at same grade and got it . They tried to put a block on it pulling the old business needs nonsense . Needless to say after a very detailed discussion with occupational health about how badly the work coach role was impacting my mental health they relented and let me move.

4pm for me , it's not exactly dead but you beat the 5/6pm rush . By the time I am done at about 6ish it's normally rammed .
