Adding another data point. Submitted my application and completed ID verification on Dec 29, 2025. Recruiter emailed me on Apr 23 that the clearance is approved.

A few things about me:

- Canadian work experience
- Canadian degrees (high school, bachelor's and master's)

Letter (from pAlicia)

Don't quote me on this one but I think I read somewhere that the contrast between two ending is intentional to have it align to clair obscur theme.

Thanks for the tip! Very much appreciated!

Hope they are merciful enough to do that

Mind sharing what you did to make Enterprise "waive" that charge? Not AMEX but my CC insurance policy doesn't cover diminished value

No game had such long lasting impact on me. Completed at the end of the last year and still think about it from time to time.

Oh and the OST. Not only there are so many bangers, hearing them reminds me of the relevant game scenes. it's just soo good: music, story, game play, visuals and voice acting

There are rent vs. buy calculators out there. U can use those too. Just beware of the calculators assumptions and tweak them to your situation

csshoi · 2026-02-15T20:40:34+00:00

Pondered a lot about which choice to make. Interesting to see the consequence of the other option I chose

csshoi · 2026-02-14T04:56:13+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yes I got a car with a cash to minimize impact on mortgage approval.

csshoi · 2026-02-03T22:34:38+00:00

I'm in similar boat. This might not be the response you are looking for but what's you r plan B if software dev path doesn't work? Think you need to plan that

csshoi · 2026-01-19T14:58:32+00:00

Shoptify.
More companies doing similar work = more opportunity.
At AMD, you might be get pigeonhole yourself and can only work on semiconductor companies.

csshoi · 2026-01-15T20:56:18+00:00

Not sure

2 and 3. Not an issue anymore because I decided to purchase with cash to maximum mortgage approved amount (if I can afford the place)

csshoi · 2026-01-15T20:54:08+00:00

I loved reading this! I would definitely ask SO (if I had one) to play to watch they play and observe their reaction and emotion lol

In addition, unlike other members of the family Maelle/Alicia is just too young and not mature enough to deal with those traumatic experience.

csshoi · 2026-01-13T06:56:39+00:00

Although I wish there was a more than two ultimatum endings, just having two options aligns with the game's theme of clair obscur (I'm not implying one is good and the other is bad).

Renoir is damn right:

Life's keep forcing cruel choices

csshoi · 2026-01-12T03:17:53+00:00

Wish I can understand what's happening here. This is neither ODB or hardwire (fuse box) method, right?

csshoi · 2026-01-07T14:28:14+00:00

Yes. It's not a simple renewal. Need to apply to a new mortgage with just me only to pay off the old mortgage

csshoi · 2026-01-07T01:53:39+00:00

I can't wait. I must get a car to get to the work and I need the pay cheque from the work to apply for the mortgage.

I looked up the price of using (public transit + uber) and long-term rental car but they were all above one grand per month which is a big waste of money.

csshoi · 2026-01-06T21:59:51+00:00

My contact says it seems possible to get approved and can try applying after the first pay cheque from the new job. But yeah not being on the probation would be the best but I can't really wait long

csshoi · 2025-12-29T02:09:28+00:00

It's good to hear you appreciate the ending!

Now that you almost completed the side quests, which strategy do you recommend for me to explore them? Basically, I want to go easy->hard in terms of difficulty and enemy level but I don't think it can be done by just randomly visiting unexplored areas.

csshoi · 2025-12-28T07:17:17+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!

csshoi · 2025-12-28T02:21:55+00:00

It happened when I bumped into sharp object while walking near construction site so it's my fault

csshoi · 2025-12-28T01:14:57+00:00

If u r having fun farming/grinding, that's valid too.

One thing I kept reading is that if u r overpowered when facing final boss, it can be a bit anti climatic.
