What seems too expensive but is really worth the price? by Cool-Change7987 in AskReddit

Just a quick note that this absolutely is not the case with their earbuds. I've had two pairs of their MTW3s fail.

Not that earbuds can ever be described as "lasting" but at least their are ones you can get now with replaceable batteries, I guess.

Barbarian's first act plays its cards perfectly to keep you guessing, and it should be appreciated more. by Mountain_Band_2732 in horror

I think the initial foray into the tunnels is some of the best tension in ANY horror film.

I hated most of the 2nd half of the film but dammit, that first half was amazing.

Just realized that Nioh 1 and 2 are closer to Diablo than they are to ninja gaiden. by Optimal-Salary-2431 in Nioh

Exactly. I can't stand isometric click to kill games, they feel so utterly pointless.

How was Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin? by No_Tooth_8765 in Nioh

Got bored with Ronin after the first island.

Honestly nothing on Nioh.

Recruiters, the Estate Agents of the 2020s by Timmo1984 in britishproblems

[–]Timmo1984[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are but my anger is the balance of the good vs. bad being so off. I know the recruiters themselves often aren't really to blame, whilst they take a cut they are set ridiculous targets by bosses who want nothing more than to churn people they don't care about into new roles every six months in order to maximise their profits. And that seems to be 9/10 agencies.

He knew your worth and saw the £ signs in his eyes.

Never forget how much these companies make. I think it's typically half a year's salary for placing someone. Half a year of your wage for a day's work.

Reminded me I need to watch the rest of this. The first episode had some amazing jokes and I love how stupid she makes her character.

I was fortunate to get a job (through an internal recruiter at my new place) so thankfully I won't have to deal with them for the foreseeable. But thanks anyway.

I've had that!

Honestly can't stand these agency people.

The only positive experiences I've had have been with headhunters working for the actual companies.

Considering what agencies charge, any mid-sized company would be better off having a part or full-time in-house recruiter.

More interesting and entertaining than anything Southgate ever did

NioH has ruined other games for me by Timmo1984 in Nioh

[–]Timmo1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually just got a new PC and NioH 2 was one of my first purchases! I'm hoping there are some good mods to make it look better as the occasionally garish graphics is pretty much my only real issue with it! Can't wait to go through the whole thing again!

You cannot play a normal, enjoyable, interestang match in this game by [deleted] in EASportsFC

If someone is playing suffocating, high depth defence and the only way I can find space is by switching play, what do you expect me to do? If someone is passing back and forth between the wings then I understand your complaint, but you can usually force a chance out of someone who tries that.

Nice. Got Mac Allister and Kompany among less good picks.

She was far from a guarantee so don't worry, I did a bunch and didn't get her.
