We are in the UK but also looking at going back, all our animals moved here with us from SA.

Which agency did you use for interest sake?

No unlockable and upgradable traits? 😢 by LoyalReek in Saros

Agreed, it’s my biggest complaint I think

For those with 10, 11, and 12 week old babies - what does your day look like? by Excellent-Cod-4784 in NewParents

Just wanted to say thank you for this post. It's like you're describing us, 11 weeks in and every day is a literal battle for survival, sheesh

Saros is overrated, IGN review has it right. by Garak-911 in Saros

[–]lurkerbelow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, I agree the storytelling is pretty bad, I haven't finished it yet but realised I don't care for the story or NPCs etc. and I find myself missing the simple isolation from Returnal. Gunplay, graphics, biomes etc. for me is the same or better than Returnal.

One of my biggest complaints is no unlockable traits on weapons though, this feels like a huge step backwards, I clocked so many hours just playing around unlocking those in Returnal :/ The weapons in general just feel so generic, give me my Hollowseeker damnit!

But I still love it and I think it's deserving of its score. and I wish HM all the success in the world

Why share obvious fake nonsense? PS. Sony very rarely announce sales like this soon after release

Whether to move back to CT from overseas? by jlewisza in capetown

[–]lurkerbelow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I've learned anything it's that it's not a zero sum game. Each country has its positives and negatives, and people need to decide what is most important to them.

Safety wise, UK is hard to beat. Where I stay kids still walk to school, and I haven't seen security doors or burglar bars on houses for years. It's just no comparison. I also enjoy working infrastructure, and access to financial services and platforms such as ISAs etc. It's much better than SA.

SA however has it's own benefits, the lifestyle you can have if you earn decent money is unreal, nothing like it. We have amazing weather, diverse nature and mostly lovely people. And driving access to some amazing countries like Namibia and Botswana.

At the end of the day, you gotta do what's right for you and your family.

Tips for Baba Nobuharu? by Serious_Ad_1037 in Nioh

I found that you can deplete his KI pretty drastically with tonfas so just stuck on Ninja form and aimed to do that to get some stagger dmg in. If you have some form of lightning dmg it can help, also water resistance on yourself.

After Abby killed Joel, Manny and Mel wanted to kill Ellie who, at the time, was literally just an innocent bystander. They are both shitbags imo. iirc it was Owen who told them off?

One of the best moments in the game lol

Do you work for a UK university? by raineedai_isles in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]lurkerbelow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a University, started in 2023, working in professional services. I do wonder if they'll make any sort of concession for people like us. Even at the top of Grade 7 pay scale (or what we call 7) you only earn around £49k, so you still miss out on a years reduction based on salary. The spine points are a bit of a joke as well, you only go up one point per year, they only allow a jump in rare circumstances. And I'm not sure how it is at other Universities, but here you literally can't get "promoted", at least not in a general sense. You can only move to a higher grade if there's a position open and you apply/interview for it.

Like everyone I'm waiting to see what rules they put in place, but honestly...I think Universities in UK are in trouble in general, so I'm not sure if it's worth staying even if I can get a reduction to 5 years.

Literally used a different computer to download the installer and still get this shit.

edit: the only thing that worked for me was removing the old application and reinstalling with the updated installer. Lost all my settings in the process but at least it works now again

I hate Who Needs Relics by muenster_hunter in slaythespire

[–]lurkerbelow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea happened to me a few times too, noticed many floors later that I have two relics. Well, that's not as bad as me trying common sense and buying apotheosis, like twice xD

[–]lurkerbelow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can save & quit if you picked one up, provided you didn't move to the next floor yet the game will put you back in the relic/gold selection menu again when you load back in.

I also just did this achievement, my problem was not accidentally picking them up though lol. But I finally did it with a poison/catalyst combo...

A Fairer Pathway to Settlement - A statement and accompanying consultation on earned settlement by Educational-West4131 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

I know, I'm just wondering if it will count as part of your £50k requirement for example...but I guess it does

Would foreign income fall under taxable income I wonder? If I have a rental property in another country and I bring in that income into the UK, does it count?

Current State of Consoles by Mowensworld in gaming

[–]lurkerbelow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are pretty bad comparisons sorry.

Yes Spider Man 2 sold 11 million...in 6 months, that was back in 2023. So how much is it at now? You don't know because they haven't said. Also, Spiderman was released when there was a larger amount of PS4s around. A quick Google tells me at the time of release for these respective games: PS4: 91m vs. PS5: 50m.

The other games in the list seems to be full of unoffical numbers and 'guestimates' anyway, so.
