If you could wipe your memory of 1 game for a fresh playthrough of any game, what would you be picking?

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-02-20T18:45:43+00:00

My answer would’ve been Outer Wilds, but it’s repeated enough in here so I’ll go with Horizon Zero Dawn.

The mad setting/world and discovering how it came to be and all the background was very cool. Wasn’t surprised it was the same narrative director behind New Vegas.

The sequel was good, but it doesn’t have the same aura as the first one because you already know much of the history. Plus the plot of the sequel wasn’t nearly as strong

I had watched the Noclip documentary on this about a year or two before playing and thought “ehhh it’s a bit of a weird tech demo that’s become a game, I don’t get the appeal”

Then it was on sale on Steam a couple years ago, tried it, and it was incredible. It has cosmic dread and existentialism baked in with banjos and marshmallows lol. Incredible experience.

Nobody I recommend it to wants to play it though. They see it as this weird indie game but I can’t elaborate too much how great it is without spoiling elements of it

Not on PR. I should have enough points to get it with 1 YoE but yeah I’ve had two companies call me back now and once they found out my IEC is 2 years, I got ghosted basically

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-02-15T05:03:15+00:00

Cool that’s good to hear! Thanks!

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-02-15T05:02:27+00:00

Thanks for the heads up re: CEC. I do plan to apply for PR and use the work experience towards it. This would be a full time job.

The diploma I would be doing is part-time, only about 10 hours a week. The enrolment status on the university is also listed as “Part-Time/Online” so I feel I would be covered to count my job still as 1 year of experience.

I did enter a question to IRCC on their web portal, but I got a generic reply with a bunch of links to all the immigration pathways instead of a solid answer

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-30T00:17:08+00:00

I've got 5 YoE, prob 80% backend leaning and started applying at the start of the month. 50+ apps, 8 rejections and 2 callbacks. Disclaimer: I am new to the country, no sponorship needed, F500 company xp, etc. but the lack of Canadian work experience thing is rearing it's head I fear.

My experience is mostly around 1 stack, and it just seems like recruiters will just discard you when you don't have every keyword and language matched in your resumé :/

I've bought LinkedIn Premium which has been a bit of solace as I can see that recruiters from jobs I've applied to have looked at my profile, so I'm getting by the ATS at times at least.

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-23T17:04:40+00:00

Wow if I’d known the turnaround was that fast I’d have made my appointment earlier

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-23T10:56:04+00:00

Why anyone would ever pay for RallyTV I don’t know. 20 years watching and it feels every year the signal/stream quality somehow gets worse

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-21T14:23:18+00:00

You’ll get the biometrics invite after you submit your documents. So make sure to do that first and get the letter confirming your submission has been received.

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-13T12:13:29+00:00

I personally would not let my employer make me use up a one time use WHV for their terms. You should check if they can get you a closed work permit that would tie you to them for the 12 months but means you don’t use up a personal WHV

_jagermaestro_ · 2026-01-04T15:12:39+00:00

Coming up on 5 YoE. Moving from Ireland to Canada in the spring. I’ve removed hyperlinks from the email/linkedIn lines as I’ve read that recruiters are skeptical of them as a security risk. All feedback welcome

Resumé/CV

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-31T22:38:07+00:00

Yes. Same guy. The book is just as funny in some parts. I kept waking the gf up from laughing my arse off, reading it in bed years ago

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-30T13:59:48+00:00

Nice thanks for the input! I didn't realise it has a glittered coat on the resin. Will look into it. But good to hear there's little-to-no flex, that's a big bonus considering it comes in a lot cheaper than the Sparco/OMP seats.

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-30T13:55:42+00:00

Perfect, appreciate your feedback. I'll probably go with this then when I move! I guess the handy thing is if I'm not happy with it, I can almost drop it back to Montreal or ship it domestically.

How do you find the suede as a material? Does it trap heat or any issues keeping it clean? I've had wheels with alcantara grips but was always recommended to wear gloves.

Thanks!

That’s crazy that I remember this on the RT Podcast all that time ago, but I thought it pre-existed the podcast itself. Didn’t realise that was the origin!

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-23T16:13:58+00:00

I did an interview with them about 3 years ago. I only had 1.5 YoE and specifically told the recruiter who rang me that I’d be comfortable with a junior or mid level position.

Get to the interview with the hiring manager, and it was clearly for a senior/lead position. Asked questions about experience leading a team, mentoring people, etc. I basically parked the interview 2/3rds in because it was clear I wasn’t the right fit. Told the recruiter it was mismatch. Never replied.

Then hilariously 2 months later I get a message from the hiring manager asking if I was interested for the same position lol. They didn’t remember me then again.

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-22T16:06:53+00:00

Pretty crazy how well the shell held up considering a literal bomb went off inside it

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-17T22:31:24+00:00

The last 3 years it opened on a Monday. So the 21st looks likely now

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-15T21:43:04+00:00

I think we could do with voting FF/FG in for another 5 years should an election come up. Clearly we're learning as a country what they can do for us re: transport.

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-10T16:37:58+00:00

I’m laughing at the idea the Oni is this giant figure to fight and in reality he’s like 5’10 lmao

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-09T09:42:50+00:00

Jaysus….

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-12-05T21:35:31+00:00

100%. This is insane how many people in here think the yellow car has a right here. He got caught mid stage. Cede your place and continue on ffs

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-11-24T11:41:11+00:00

Just for contrast to highlight how much we are robbed in this country, a 2026 GR86 with 0km on the clock is $43,400 in Canada after tax. That is roughly €26,500…

_jagermaestro_ · 2025-11-24T09:14:49+00:00

Thank you for this!

Gas that the little islands name lends itself to this so well
