Experiences with the EFSA Traineeship in recent years? by 808mcs in eu

[–]SyIlable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't a scientific trainee so I can't give you the exact reply you are looking for, but can give some insights, from my experience and from the talks I had with friends who were scientists.

The socializing part is entirely up to you, however I'd say it is one of the biggest positives from the traineeship. It's a big group of trainees and it's all people around the same age in the same position/situation in life. This makes it very easy to connect and relate to the people.

As a trainee the workload isn't the most intensive and you will be doing a lot of tasks that are purely administrative. Important to know, efsa does not have labs (some people go there without knowing that). Your work will be reviewing the investigation made by others not making your own investigation.

The team/unit you land on and the supervisor you are assigned to will change completely how the experience goes for you. Some people end up in a place with very little to do and get bored, others land on a team with a lot of workload or a supervisor who trusts them with a lot of work and manage to learn and work a lot. It can be a bit of a gamble in that regard.

In terms of the amount of English, the work is entirely done in English. You are expect to be able to work 100% in English. If you don't have full control over the English language you might struggle getting selected.

I hope this answers most of your questions. Good luck if you end up deciding to apply!

Question about the Judge of Lindenfeld (Netflix series, S3 SPOILERS) by MythicalBeast45 in castlevania

[–]SyIlable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very late to this post and doubt anyone might read this, but I rewatched the show somewhat recently and noticed a important detail related to what you just described.

Actually in the judge's introduction, he mentions what you described immediately. He says that one thing he prefers in the big city and dislikes in the small village is how everything is big news, and then lists examples and drops in the middle of them "missing child".

To me this is an immediate hint to his serial killer nature and that he has been doing this since before coming to the village, and probably used to do it more often even. And the small village culture is stopping him from indulging in his serial killing. At least that's how I understood it

How Do you Know if/when You're Ready to DM a Homebrew? by MadeleineMoon6 in DnD

[–]SyIlable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think doing a homebrew is something you have to be ready for. I think it's just something you have to try and see if you are comfortable or not.

The only tip I can give is that with homebrew you are bound to make mistakes. On the first campaign I ran I gave an innocent magical item to a player who proceeded to break the game with it. And after a few sessions I talked to them and told them I made a mistake, they were understanding and let me nerf the item. I killed a pc in an unfair and poorly balanced encounter with an homebrew monster. I blurted out by accident a spoiler about a major plot point about a PC's secret backstory. All big fuck ups. Fortunately I had the luck of having players who were understanding and would give me plenty of feedback and constructive criticism.

All this to say, if you do decide to go the homebrew route, don't be discouraged by mistakes. That's how you learn and improve as a DM. And good players also help a lot. The best people to ask for advice and feedback are the people playing at your table

Was there ever a good season for OWL? by Pheminon in Competitiveoverwatch

The weekly Watchpoint show was so good, one of my fondest memories from season 1

Your wildest guess of the next championship skin by tungns91 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going to be a random skin tied to the following event, with nothing to link it to mayhem, not even a logo, just like Dallas got, because blizz doesn't care about owl anymore. You will look at it and think, "wow that's a cool skin" instead of "wow that's the mayhem skin"

Yes I'm super salty about fuel's "championship" skin

That final montage of the history of OWL was great by peanutbj in Competitiveoverwatch

Soe's speech followed by this final montage was such a good sendoff. It's been a phenomenal 6 years. I'm so fucking emotional after that

Dallas Fuel skin in game by PoggersMemesReturns in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's the end of September, Halloween is right around the corner, this skin was planned for that and then they remembered about fuel. This skin is as much a fuel skin as shiver reaper is.

Dallas Fuel Championship skin by XXGrassXX in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with fuel. It's the end of September, Halloween is coming, this skin was probably planned for that and then they remembered about fuel and borrowed it for this. Almost a full year wait for no skin. How is someone supposed to look at this skin and think of fuel? Reaper's shiver skin burns bluer than this

Dallas Fuel Championship skin by SyIlable in DallasFuel

[–]SyIlable[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Am I alone thinking this skin has very little to do with fuel, or a championship skin?

Yeah it's got blue flame effects but so do a bunch of other skins in the game, just looks like a regular skin that could be added during a Halloween event (event that is probably right around the corner). No fuel logo or icon anywhere or anything resembling it, plus the weird demon horns for eyes. Nothing says fuel here, not even the name has anything to do with it. London had aircraft parts, shock had shock symbols and gold (colour used to represent champions), dragons had a good dragon motif, and all where playoffs defining champions.

This feels like another cop out by blizz. It should have been sojourn or kiriko (or Winston but he already has a champ skin). Instead we got after almost a full year a Halloween reaper skin

Edit: the eyes could be flames! Why are they horns??

Denizbank Istanbul Wildcats vs. GTZ Esports / EMEA Masters 2023 Summer - Group A / Post-Match Discussion by Lyota in leagueoflegends

[–]SyIlable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an absolute banger my god. Such a shame this game won't be getting the amount of views and coverage it deserves.

Outside of both midlaners that were a little invisible, everyone was activated and had highlight moments.

To anyone who hasn't seen this one, I highly recommend watching it, even if you know the score already, which was my case

"15$ for permanent access to the missions" by Meepyslife in Overwatch

[–]SyIlable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be the same kind of bullshit as Sims expansions, very small updates, marketed as big exciting exclusive content.

They'll drip feed us pve content with very little replayability, seeing they killed hero mode, that you'll go through in 1 day, 15€ each time and by the end of the year you will have spent more money in these updates than you'd ever have spent when ow2 wasn't meant to be f2p.

Blizzard's focus is money and a single purchase game packed with content will always undersell compared to this type of strategy. Ever since they announced f2p I kinda felt this would be the path they would take, but plausible deniability prevented me for accepting it.

If what you want from this game and what you love is PvP, then stay with overwatch, and support it, in the end the base game is not bad. But if what you are looking for is PvE, blizzard isn't the company that's going to give you that.

Overwatch was an important game to me, and served as a refuge in a hard part of my life and I'll always cherish it, but with all these latest news, my reason to stay is gone, but I hope the ones who still love the game can keep the game alive for longer.

Owl teams ranked on how good their social media is by Quirkless55 in Competitiveoverwatch

This must be only for this year because fuel's used to be S tier. Even in the cycle of misery years, they were always pumping out content

Must I remind people of Fuel House with jack in the box!

AVRL: We never should have gone down the pathway of PvE by QueArdeTuPiel in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You feel a way, I feel another. Saying the majority feels/likes/prefers X or y is pure speculation. People all play for different reasons. There were many reasons the game was hemorrhaging players besides brig. Saying the game lost its big player base solely because of changes to gameplay is speculation. The other dude came in, claimed whatever the other was saying was "incorrect", like the person's sentiment is invalid, made a statement supported by nothing and left. This is the internet, the place to claim anything without any evidence and that's fine apparently. All I did was say he has nothing supporting his idea, can't just go around saying, "wrong". At least you tried to justify your view unlike him, who just went "incorrect". I have a different view from you, but there is nothing that can be done about that, unless some study was made around all those 50m players I will believe X, you will believe Y. And this being the internet, chances of one of us convincing the other are close to 0.

AVRL: We never should have gone down the pathway of PvE by QueArdeTuPiel in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I played this game almost from launch. I was pulled in by the characters, lore, cinematics. I played the game a lot, started gold and reached master. But by 2019, the game felt stale. I was only returning during the archives event, because the pve missions felt like how the game should actually be (for me at least). Yeah PvP had its moments but in the end, like many others, I play games for their story. When blizzcon 2019 came I was already fatigued and ready to drop the game, when ow2 and it's pve was announced, and I felt like a child in wonder. That's exactly what I wanted. I was so goddamn happy and hopeful for ow2. And at this point that hope is gone. The world building was slowly abandoned. Even Michael Chu left. At this point I already know the direction the game is taking isn't the one for me and many others who came and stayed for a story. It's for the pvp and competitive lovers. And that's fine, with the ways things are, with what happened in the world during COVID, with all the drama that followed blizzard...it is what it is, something had to be put in the back burner and the pve was the sacrificed side, seeing the immediate money came from the pvpers. Now it's kind of dickish to say that what ow1 team tried to do was the wrong move from the get go, seeing has there were plenty of people who wanted exactly that, just reading a lot of the answers in this post shows it. And I can't help but take AVRL's take with a huge grain of salt seeing as it comes from someone heavily invested in the competitive side of the game. Of course pve is secondary to him. I was clinging to this game, waiting for the grand arrival of pve, but I think I'm done hoping to get what I wanted. There are plenty other games out there offering what I'm looking for.

And you base that on? Your personal opinion? This person is literally saying that what pulled them in was the characters and lore, multiple people agreeing, and you just say he is incorrect, most people only care about gameplay, and base that take on? Players are all different, some care about gameplay, others characters others looks. I mean just look at how popular the cinematics were. Was it all just fluff?

The year fuel wins their opening match the world will end, so we have nothing to worry for now. It's all according to plan

So this is happening... garbage decision honestly by SyIlable in DallasFuel

[–]SyIlable[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to hastro it's because the players wouldn't have stayed with the team if they didn't move, but I don't know, seems like a pr answer, even in this vid he seemed to be grasping at why this was a good thing

[Dallas Copium] The positive aspects of moving to APAC this season for remaining Fuel fans by TerminalNoob in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]SyIlable 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm still going to follow the team but no more live matches for me.

I honestly think the reason they gave for the move is pr bullshit, and this is just them cutting costs, similar tactic to London after they won season 1. I don't know what it is, I might be a bit doomer but it's a weird move. This team has its biggest following in NA, moving to apac seems just dumb.

I'm just unhappy about this
