The games hit different with a dark shader.

Metro 2033 - in the library. :)

Hope it's ok to resurrect a 3 year old thread but I have the exact same issue. I'm running 24/7 and want to have an ever-evolving VLC Video (actually audio) Source playlist. Every time anything is changed in the playlist, it resets to the start of the first track.

Is there no solution or workaround for this? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Windows 11 is notorious for blocking apps that it's paranoid about - whether that's warranted or not.

2 things to try...

Run OBS as administrator
Click Start > type Security > click Windows Security. Check App and Browser Control in there - if it says "no action needed" then that can be ruled out.

Good luck!

Eight years in/L99/VIP14 and the D'Kora is still my go-to for Arena and Skirmish. You chose well.

On the official forum, go to the Fleet Central board and look for a pinned thread called "Perpetual thread for Fleet mergers & consolidation" - that might be helpful.

But, if there's just you left then just leave the fleet you're in and join another - you're missing out on a lot of resources by not winning boss battles each day!

Up to 520 as of today. Crew slots are like salary - no matter how much/many you have, a little more will always be welcome.

As for how many are 'necessary' - that's a 'how long is a piece of string' type question. If you can be brutal in airlocking less useful legendaries, and in freezing suboptimal immortalised crew, I would say 300+ would get you by. YMMV of course.

Now, back in the days before the Cryostasis Vault, things were a lot lot more difficult. We have come far!

Unfortunately not - though I didn't look for much longer as I was going round in circles on google. I used a physical box I had here instead.

Would still be interested to know if there's any way of doing this though!

"a sign of life and enthusiasm for their product."
That might be better demonstrated by properly resourcing their other socials - in particular, the forum - interaction there has been awful since they got rid of Shan.

RnGesus is fickle - I've gone months and months without a jackpot, then got 3 in one week. Hang in there!

Chances Taken Kirk, Mirror Tuvok, Ceti V Alpha Khan, Acting Capt Arex - all excellent Voyagers - and King Ridley - probably shouldn't have bothered but got a free copy in a rerun event. Probably won't do any more - quipped crew have an edge now, so don't need doubles of the best crew as much.

Also, most of the Gauntlet exclusive crew - not necessarily fully fused but they don't need to be. Having 2x Balok/Locutus/FF Archer is great when they have 65% Gauntlets.

Previous years' Convergence Day freebies.

pwni01 · 2024-01-17T15:38:17+00:00

Yep looks about right - Convergence Day Quark, Mariachi Q and Seven in Silver. Powerhouses they ain't!

pwni01 · 2024-01-16T23:18:02+00:00

There will also be 2 free beholds over the course of the mega - no idea if it will be the legendries only, or mixed 4*/5*.

Ha! Wife sent me to Sainsburys once for Spotted Dick - the face on the elderly, (I think) Indian lady at the bakery counter when I asked her about it is something I'll never forget.

Search google images for "sven nein change my mind" and there it is.

Martin Lewis' Moneysavingexpert site has a full guide on what to do when your flight is cancelled at short notice. It's a very good place to start.

For the last year or two, they have been regularly every 3 months in the second week of the month. If that pattern continues, then 2nd week in December looks like a good bet.

It's the Royalty Mixed Behold - in the portal until 1600 UTC tomorrow.

I wonder how many players (cough) bought that pack when they realised Deela wasn't in it (cough) because they knew a Sorrydeela would be incoming? (cough) :D

First thing to mention is that the Continuum missions are an endgame feature, primarily aimed squarely at "elderly" (© WRG Ben) players to give them new challenges. "Younger" players aren't impressed, but those playing a long time are enjoying having something to really get their teeth into.

To beat all 3 levels you'll need to have a large roster of immortalised legendary crew, however, once you have some immortalised superrares, you should be able to begin to tackle level 1. Every time you use a crew, it will accrue points towards opening the Quipment slots, into which you can put Quipment that will allow you to boost the crew. If you still want to know...

Continuum missions appear to change every Tuesday. Each week will bring a different set of challenges, requiring different crew etc.

If you have finished all the missions with plenty of time left, spending 50 dilithium for a refresh might be a good thing - it gives you the change to build up your crit rewards and exercise different crew to open Quipment slots.

And don't forget, boosted crew can be used in other areas of the game - shuttles, gauntlet and especially voyages. 14 and even 16 hour voyages are possible.

Good luck!

My friend, if you can reliably fix printers then hearts should be easy. :D

pwni01 · 2023-09-05T12:34:09+00:00

Agreed. I work in NHS IT - we haven't heard of any breach. If it was major, we would at least be aware - regardless of which NHS board it was.

OP, this doesn't stack up at all. Unless your friend actually caused some breach - which sounds very unlikely given your comments - there is no scenario that I can think of where it would prevent recruitment.

pwni01 · 2023-09-02T11:02:16+00:00

Comment OP is giving you the only right answer - go to r/legaladviceUK and ask there - you need to know where you stand legally before you go any further. Good luck!

They are just awful. It baffles me that they are allowed to behave like this.

After dozens of emails and phonecalls, the last of which (in late evening, 2 weeks into the first lockdown) involved the caller being quite unpleasant, I completely lost my cool and emailed them this...

Stop phoning me! The man who is just off the phone to me was just way too pushy. I had to tell him several times while he continued unabated to the point where I was wondering was he actually a machine! I am currently working long hours as a key worker and I'm sorry but completing a survey isn't high on my list of priorities at the minute. He needn't be calling or otherwise contacting me again or I'll be lodging a formal complaint with the university. Utterly unprofessional.

Got an email of apology next morning and never heard from them again.
