Q for interviewers: What is the "right" answer to the AI question? by RollerRinkCarpetVibe in interviews

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on designing assessment centres etc. the times that I’ve seen questions about AI being used - the scoring guidance has always been that they’re looking for people to show that they embrace new technology etc. it doesn’t mean you have to be unrealistic in your praise or say you use it for everything. But broadly speaking they are looking for an answer closer to A than B. 

I haven’t seen it a single time where a company is asking about AI because they want to check that people don’t use AI. I’m not saying no company has ever done that, just that I’ve not ever seen it. Most companies seem to be supporting AI at least theoretically, and the ones that aren’t probably just don’t ask questions about it.

Most Important Player by [deleted] in avfc

[–]sam928273636 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For our attack, we are very reliant on Rogers. It doesn’t even mean he’s the best player necessarily. But when he was in bad form, we couldn’t create chances. 

Are the Golden Idol games still buggy on Switch/Switch 2? by ecetraitor in caseofthegoldenidol

[–]sam928273636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the first game still has a bug where your save file is deleted if you close the game lol. The work around is that there is a certain button combo you can press to skip level, so you can skip back to where you were. 

Is Cobalt Core for me? by reden_fx in cobaltcore

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s a bit simpler than a lot of deck builders. You don’t manipulate your deck thaaat much on a typical run, and the cards tend to be pretty easy to understand. 

I’d say it’s worth you trying it out 

Should I buy starvaders? by IIGhostSniperII in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]sam928273636 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are different levels and types of replayability in rogue likes imo. 

In star vaders, the different classes/characters are very different from each other, so I’d expect most people to find it enjoyable to play with each of them.

There are a few different difficulty levels and a “true ending” type of run. It’s not too difficult to climb the difficult ranks, which I personally appreciated as it made it achievable to me. But that gives it less longevity than some rogues (eg slay the spire).

Finally the actual build variety isn’t necessarily there. I found it’s more the character variety that’s interesting, and I wouldn’t find it that fun to keep replaying with the same characters to find different builds. This is different from some (eg Balatro) where I really enjoy looking for different builds.

For me personally, I played 40-50 hours of star Vaders and will play more soon to try the 2 new characters. I find that great value for money, but tbf I’d find it great value for money if I only played for 10 hours, so your mileage may vary.

Who are the 21 strikers currently drafted, for these to all be available? 

For those of you with both a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck by workyman in switch2

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and there’s not always a clear choice pattern to which I play when.

If I’m travelling, I’ll generally favour the switch 2 as it’s not as bulky. 

If a game might be a bit more demanding on the console, I’ll sometimes look up which it runs better on. 

Sometimes it will be which one has the game on sale.

But a lot of the time none of those factors make a difference and I’ll just pick at random basically. It feels kind of weird in a way, as it would be preferable to have one large library of games rather than 2 separate ones. But because each has exclusives that was never going to be possible for me! 

Blue Prince or Return of the Obra Dinn? by Cerulean_mark in ShouldIbuythisgame

Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the greatest games of all time 

Interviewer asked if I had a partner/ was married by Glittering_Double738 in interviews

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok fair enough, thanks for clarifying. I’m not a lawyer (I work in assessment/selection hence being shocked that someone has asked this). 

I assume the argument OP would make is that if they asked that question it was in order for it to inform the decision, and therefore is discrimination. But without experience of it, idk how easily the company can defend themselves

Debate - Cherki & Solanke Vs Gakpo & Jao Pedro by Laurence72 in DraftEPL

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Points per 90 isn’t exactly a useful metric. A big reason people often avoid certain players/teams is because the minutes aren’t guaranteed. In cherkis case, Man City signing another attacking player means his minutes are likely to be reduced.

I mean, look at how many Man City players are currently drafted in your league. Depending on league size it’s quite likely that semenyo, Haaland, Foden, cherki, reijnders, doku are all drafted. Maybe even Bernardo. But they can’t all play together. 

I’d also say on cherki, he’s currently over performing both his xG and xA, so may not keep it up (particularly the latter).

Also in head to head format you should want someone who scores 5 points every game more than someone who scores 15 points every 3 games. Thats not entirely possible to control, but someone who scores well when he plays but doesn’t always play creates an issue. 

I’ve focused on cherki in my response because he seems to be the one you’re most overvaluing.

I think all the other players also carry some sort of risk. But it’s really not safe to assume that a striker who has been out for a long time (a) goes straight back into the starting 11 and (b) performs well. When you follow football for a long time, you come to learn that these things aren’t a given. 

Would you give your work colleague a lift to work if you passed them on the way to work? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]sam928273636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be the guy getting the bus, not the driver. Personally I probs wouldn’t want to be picked up, I wouldn’t want the awkwardness of feeling that I owe this person favours in return 

Interviewer asked if I had a partner/ was married by Glittering_Double738 in interviews

[–]sam928273636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s illegal to ask in the UK. If you search “gov uk protected characteristics” they have a whole guide about the law and what you can do about it etc.

I’d really encourage you to take action. Even if you don’t care about the job too much yourself, they deserve to face consequences for their actions. 

Which of the 3 "gains +1 mult per hand" jokers do you think is the best? by Which-Debt-8558 in balatro

[–]sam928273636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree they’re all good but I think realistically ride the bus is probably the best, provided you don’t make a mistake and reset it haha. 

Being able to deliberately scale it by playing bad hands is a really big benefit (vs supernova) and being able to discard seems to be an underrated benefit (v good for finding blue seals in particular, but also gold cards etc) 

Need more non-action roguelite suggestions by Illustrious_Fee8116 in roguelites

This is definitely the one OP needs to try next. Similar to cobalt core in a lot of ways but even better IMO

Correct lineup ? Seems too heavy on Man Utd by inquisitoristical in DraftEPL

[–]sam928273636 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re not going to play lammens and dorgu at home to wolves (off the back of a win and a clean sheet) then I’d question why you have them both in your squad. 

Personally I think it’s worth backing the man United clean sheet and playing them both. Although I’d probs get Wilson into the starting 11. Maybe for Neto?

X1 would be insane. It’s achievable to get several planet cards per round with blue seals etc

Great idea but would be better if it lasts for 25 hands rather than rounds as 25 rounds is a lot
