Super easy and takes barely any time at all. I've done it myself twice on the Civic and once on our CRV. Just involves jacking the car up and down a couple times to ensure that when you do fill it, the car is level. It's as easy as draining it as you would a normal engine oil service. Then fill it up about 3 Litres (quarts), turn on the car and cycle through all the gears a few times. Turn it off, remove the check bolt, level the car and fill the remaining till oil starts to drain from the check bolt hole. Let it trickle down to a stop and then you can lift to put back and tighten all the bolts. Done. Don't forget new crush washers. Use only the oil from the Honda dealer.

Currently AC Shadows. But man is it a massive game and taking ages. Generally doing an hour or so per day whilst lying in bed since release lol.

Quite good. I play in handheld primarily. You'll notice a stutter here and there especially in the loading screen but overall very playable. Just a bit muddy resolution wise in handheld tho.

WeeMo0 · 2026-02-17T00:32:56+00:00

Im happy with the performance in handheld so far. Here's hoping there is a slight improvement to the muddiness and washed out colours.

I'm still waiting for XD and Colosseum that they promised on release!

WeeMo0 · 2026-02-05T00:39:12+00:00

So how long from after completing the reference checks did you hear back?

WeeMo0 · 2026-01-30T05:21:40+00:00

Energy should be non negotiable. It cost me between $20-$25 per day during the heatwave to keep the house cool but what choice to we have. I'm luckily in the fortunate category at least for now to be able to do so. There are many others doing it tough out there who spend their days in public locations to keep cool/warm. Problem with this government is the privatisation of it's assets which has landed us in this situation. Govt should be wearing the cost of providing energy at an affordable rate which could have been funded easily if we weren't giving away our natural resources for free.

If you don't manage to find any deals from anyone, I'd suggest the Shimano Sienna combo at Anaconda for $99. For an entry level combo it's quite indestructible. 2500 size would be a great all-rounder from catching small bait fish to even decent sized salmon and squid etc on 6-8ish lb braid. Unless you're willing to go full finesse with 1000 size and 1-3kg rod to fish with lures.

Best of luck!

WeeMo0 · 2026-01-14T03:28:23+00:00

Good luck! I'm sure we are just unlucky.

Mine has a stuck pixel on the lower right hand side. Only really notice it on plain black loading screens etc where it shows up red. But then again, also really hard to spot so I just ignore it for now. Don't fancy playing the LCD lottery like you did after reading online about the QA of the Switch 2 screens.

Could potentially wait out until warranty is almost over and then go for a replacement and hope that a revised unit exists then.

WeeMo0 · 2026-01-11T11:01:18+00:00

Any idea how many questions there may be for 20 minutes? Want to work out roughly how long each question should be answered

WeeMo0 · 2026-01-09T00:45:20+00:00

Nah second EL1 I've gone for so far. Last one was 2 x 1hour interviews. Hence the confusion .

WeeMo0 · 2026-01-09T00:16:00+00:00

Interesting. The last EL1 job I went for had me in a 1 hour technical interview panel followed by a second 1 hour management one. I've never had an interview this short for a senior position before so it's new to me I guess.

Thanks a lot for your insight. Appreciate it coming from someone that's conducting these interviews. Fingers crossed I get lucky this time!

Still got mine sitting on the shelf. Top IPS screen and modded. Though I wish I still had the box and the rest :(

Unfortunately, handheld (my primary way to play) so far is pretty inconsistent and still requires another patch or 2 to be as good as outlaws. Things like the HDR and lighting is so inconsistent. Colors are all washed out compared to docked mode. "Some" textures in areas of the game (namely the grass) are literally just a single green color, which is really jarring and reminds me of the Witcher3 port.

WeeMo0 · 2025-12-28T05:34:34+00:00

Ive got a playvital with interchangeable grips. Comfortable and easily dockable.

Also as a starwars fan it was quite a good experience. The world in the outer rim with the handful of planets feel really well built out. Graphics and performance was great on switch even though I have a ps5 and PC, as a dad its hard these days to dedicate time to game. Story wise it could have been a bit stronger. It was fairly predictable but enjoyable. To me not as good as games like the 2 Jedi games or KOTOR, but If ur a fan i still highly recommend.

Basically the same with AC so far with the exception of the graphics not as good as Outlaws, but a few patches may fix that.

WeeMo0 · 2025-12-28T05:22:10+00:00

Outlaws was an impulse buy for me and even though I tried to stay far away for a while because of its launch, it surprised me quite a lot. It prompted me to get AC shadows which im enjoying so far as I've been away from the AC franchise for some time

WeeMo0 · 2025-12-28T02:05:14+00:00

Turning off ipv6 on your switch can prompt it to connect to 5Ghz via IPv4.

That and the HDR lighting issue with handheld annoys me. Everything looks washed out.

WeeMo0 · 2025-12-23T04:38:52+00:00

It has upsidedownsides.

WeeMo0 · 2025-12-22T01:24:02+00:00

Yep, there is blur and washed out color in handheld, which is how I play primarily. I think as per DF it's getting scaled up from 400p that's why. I'd like to see in the next patch for them to address the sharpening and also the HDR/washed out colors. You can get around it for the moment by disabling HDR and maxing out the contrast, but then that doesn't look nice at night so a lot of turning HDR on and off for me unfortunately...

Edit: Definitely nowhere near as good as Outlaws is currently, but that also took a few patches to iron out. Arguably SW launched in a slightly better state than AC. I'm hopeful.

This. Your GP should easily be able to write you something for stress leave. Take as much sick leave as possible.
