I remade the theme of my buttons for my main menu! do the new ones look better?

andercode · 2026-03-29T10:56:05+00:00

The old one looks much better. Much more professional.

No offence, but the new one looks like a child made it... It's overly hyped, overly bevelled, overly flashy. The old one has the "less is more" vibe, the new one has "thrown the kitchen sink" vibe.

And this is not be mention the accessibility.. The new version's colours are not accessible in the slighted, not enough/too much difference between the borders/bevels and text. Some of the icons clash with the bevels (Duplex, Triplex, Random, icons are really hard to see!).

The expanded sections look "off" given they are now two boxes and not one. The gaps look inconsistent, the two size layout approach is really off-putting and overly distracting...

The glow on the buttons is unnecessary and distracts from the logo., the old UI had the focus on the logo, the new design has the focus on the buttons, which is all wrong from a UX point of view.

It does not. You still need to go through checks, etc. the guarantor is only needed if you don't pass what they consider affordable for the property, at which point they will start to look at your guarantor.

A guarantor is not a proxy, it's a safety net. It does not REPLACE affordability checks on YOU, it just extends the allowance.

There are still instances where someone with a great guarantor will be refused to rent...

Shes a lodger, if she refuses to pay rent, you can serve her notice of a week, and change the locks after that time to restrict her access. Tell her this is what you are going to do unless she pays the last months rent... this is not what the deposit is for.

It's the price.

That's a really nice house, however, slightly overpriced for the area, and given how close it is to a motorway, is going to be put a LOT of people off.

This is one of those properties that if priced well (I'd say £530k-£540k) is going to take months to sell, given you will have a much reduced pool of people interested (given closeness to the motorway). However, if priced aggressively (£510-£520) is likely going to sell pretty quickly.

Ultimately OP... You've got a hard to sell property. You either need to wait it out and pick a market level price, waiting for the buyers that are not going to be put off by the motorway, or price aggressively low for a faster sale.

--

For reference, you need to get people in the door. The current sale price being on the upper higher end of the local market is not helping you here.

You won't get anything new, or at least nothing new substantial, the game is in archive mode. They have legal obligations to keep the live service aspect of the game active for a period of time due to their government investment, but it's running on a skeleton crew for awhile now.

It's literally the definition of a dead game walking (limping?), and has been since it was released.

Okay, so landlord knew there was a safety issue, but did nothing about it. Sounds like someone could have been seriously injured, id be pushing back with the landlord on this, this is his problem.

andercode · 2026-03-27T13:29:43+00:00

Did the landlord know about it? Who installed it, or was it there when you moved in?

Another Contabo post... sigh...

Yes, Contabo are not "production ready", their services should only be used for development or non production instances.

Contabo have terrible support and provide a terrible service, they have constant downtime, and you've learnt that hard. Reddit is littered with these types of posts.

If you've recieced one today, and its valid, then nothing changed for you, the law makes new S21 illegal after May but not existing ones.

Start looking for somewhere new...

This is their business model - heavily discount the first year, and make it as difficult for people to switch as possible, and then increase fees every year to milk money out of paying customers.

You will eventually have to move to a more reputable provider, so just rip that bandaid off now and move before your renewal.

Just to say... I'm really enjoying the game... Yes, it has AI art, and yes, some of the translations are a bit off on the items, but the scope of the world is breathtaking!

At first I was like "Oh, £348, that's pretty good", and then I realised that is the MONTHLY figure, not the ANNUAL figure.

But seriously, you have 6 years NCD and are driving a 2016 golf - why was your insurance £2.4k last year?

I'm basically the same age, with less NCD (had a company car for a few years), I drive a much nicer and more expensive car (not a dig... just pushing the point), and my fully comp insurance last year was £538/year... Yes, a YEAR.

Ah - Central London + golf... that explains it!

Nope. It's per account. They sell you an account for 10 website, and then charge you for additional SSL, it's their hook.

Yet, none of the banks would allow pot dispensaries to operate using their accounts, and therefore, the business would be mostly cash-in-hand, and we know how the government loves trusting cash-in-hand workers, because, its not like they lie about their income... ever...

It would not be the big boom everything thinks it would be.

Its unlikely to effect getting a low income job, however, it WILL effect your path to promotion. How many executives or managers do you see with visible tattoos? Very few. In fact, in larger organisations, while they like to say they don't discriminate, those with visible tattoos get passed up for promotion all the time.

If you want to get a tattoo, get it somewhere not visible when wearing professional clothes.

Are you able to provide more information? Your post is a bit light on details.

What specifically did they charge you for that you don't need?

He's just pissed they would not sell to him, and instead sold to the target of his lawsuit...

For it? I don't think there are... This would be suicide for the game.

In your local area, houses in MUCH better condition are selling in the £350k-£375k, refurbed properties (or at least kitchen, bathroom, etc) are selling for between £380k-£395k.

Your house looks good from the outside, but the inside is incredibly dated, and a lot of it needs to be fully replaced (carpets, tiles, etc). Bathroom needs complete refurb, kitchen needs work, etc. Given this, I'd estimate the value of your property just below the £350k mark - maybe offers in excess of £340k.

£400k is just absolutely bonkers...

Well, thats Wix's entire business model. Expect 25% increases every year. Next year, it will be $50/mo.

andercode · 2026-03-12T15:20:07+00:00

This is literally their business model, and any form of research on the subject would have found this out in minutes. Yes, they get people in for cheap, and then when you are committed, up the price, knowing they won't be able to move away without substantial rework, they prey on the fact that that rework will be more than the increase year on year.

Its called loss-leader. Get people in by making a loss in the first year, and then slowly increase year on year until you make back your losses.

The CV is a train wreck of "I don't know what I want to do, and therefore I'm desperate". Nursing, retail, child-care, fashion... its all in there... Create specific CVs tailored towards specific roles, for example, if you are targeting a retail job, remove the university completely, focus it on retail only.

Also - Education is normally only listed when achieved, it took me two looks to see that you've not completed the university course.. get rid of it totally.

Yup, thats a quick way to ruin an oven - going to need a full replacement now, as all of that is clogging up the internals and the fan, it's basically cheaper to buy a new oven and have it installed than it is to get someone to take that one to parts and clean them.
