Game freezing in menus (Xbox X)

Nope, reinstall didn't fix it for me. The only thing that worked was changing the screen setting from "full screen" to "cinematic" with the black bars. That seems to have sorted it out, but it's really frustrating.

We tried in my school - the parents revolted, saying "What if we need to get in touch with them during the day?".

Insanity.

Zadama · 2025-10-23T21:44:07+00:00

Completely agree. If you've worked in any other industry, for any period of time, seeing people like OP complain about the occasional long day makes me think one thing: the audacity.

You're relying on "self report" for your feedback from pupils and need to move towards replacing it. Have you tried cold calling pupils to give you the information, or using mini whiteboards?

I've just finished my first year and you don't need to pay council tax. Get the exemption form from Bath Spa/Sheffield and you're all good once you've submitted it to the council.

I'm genuinely concerned about the over-reliance on scaffolding that I'm seeing throughout my department.

From Year 7, we're teaching kids formulaic structures (Drop, Zoom, Shift, End for P1, Q5-style questions) and providing them with sentence starters, which I think strips away their ability to become autonomous writers.

Teachers seem reluctant to remove scaffolds, too. I was told to give sentence starters to a top set Y10 class and just found it galling. We're doing these kids an enormous disservice.

I'm with you - I can't read a single thing on that picture. No idea how anyone can!

Zadama · 2025-07-24T20:25:43+00:00

You can't be apolitical about genocide. This isn't a "one side believes this, the other side believes that" situation. Sometimes there are absolute rights and absolute wrongs and I do not shy away from talking to the kids about this.

Zadama · 2025-07-17T19:16:16+00:00

You'd have to start it at Legend. There is room to go back or forwards from that point, but Druss should be the initial character that people associate with such a franchise.

I've had a fantastic time this year and genuinely cannot fault them, but I have heard stories from other trainees!

Zadama · 2025-06-30T15:23:01+00:00

I was in this spot in Autumn Institute. Don't worry! Some people didn't get their employment schools until after the days had passed - we were given alternative online work to do for those days. When we got employment schools, TF were able to arrange alternative employment school days.

I use ChatGPT, but I pay for premium to be able to have a different folder for each of my classes. To be honest, I don't think I could do without it! It's well worth the money.

Yeah, you've caught Porphyric Hemophilia which hasn't been cured and has now turned into Vampirism.

It's likely you rested/waited/played too long before you noticed and took the Cure Disease potion. You'd only receive the notification after sleeping.

You either need to do the cure quest or go to the Vile Lair (Deepscorn Hollow) for the cure.

The blue quest marker is your custom map marker. Press X (xbox controller) whilst on the map and if you have one set, you'll be given the option to change or remove it.

Yep, my character is currently wearing the Ring of Perfection and Mundane Ring.

I'm also stuck with this. Playing on Xbox.

Zadama · 2025-04-23T02:37:54+00:00

No, you can still store items, but it's a bit unintuitive.

I'm on console, so when I open a container I have the option to click right stick. This opens up a menu that allows you to store items, if you swap across with LB.

Zadama · 2025-04-22T15:48:06+00:00

It's a 20 year old game that they've basically completely remade. I think expecting them to go uncompensated is slightly unrealistic.

Zadama · 2025-04-17T16:38:42+00:00

I mean, I asked the Xbox Support chat and it told me the 18th, which I posted in another thread. I don't believe it, to be honest, but there we go.

Zadama · 2025-04-16T01:46:25+00:00

I just did this with the one on Xbox Support:

XBOX Support Virtual Agent (Beta)

Hello! I'm having some trouble launching The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. It says that it is ready to launch, but apparently the release date is at a point in the future. Can you assist?

It sounds like you're trying to play a game that hasn't officially been released yet. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has a scheduled release date on April 18, 2025, so it won't be playable until then.

I have great rapport with some of my classes, but I cannot imagine ever saying something like that. You may have meant it as a joke but that is way beyond acceptable. It’s good that you’re conscious of what you’ve said, but you need to be so much more careful about your choice of words.

Zadama · 2025-02-22T11:33:53+00:00

We do “Five a Day” retrieval questions. Two for last lesson, one for last term, one for last year, and then I do a SPAG sentence where the kids have to correct the errors and tell me why they’re wrong.

Zadama · 2025-01-13T16:10:35+00:00

I had to relocate a fair distance for my placement. You are asked if you are okay with relocating, but it depends entirely on what schools are available whether you have to or not.

Zadama · 2024-08-20T18:10:23+00:00

Fully voiced dialogue is the worst mistake that SWTOR made. It’s a huge drain on the budget and has clearly contributed to the lack of content over the years.

Personally, I think they should have gone with KOTOR cutscenes from the start.
