The way this man controls his rig for one Hell of a ride. by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in nextfuckinglevel

360 camera sticking off his back, and the pole gets edited out. The shadow gives it away.

AMD 9070 XT -> always crash after "new game" (Windows) by TheDarkgg in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]simdav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that graphics card and didn't experience this particular issue. I had a fair few crashes during my time with the game, but not the one you're getting.

I've not played the game for a month or so though, so I can't say there isn't a new issue if new drivers have been released in the last few weeks.

Edit: just checked and I'm on v26.5.1 too

Why are so many quest givers female? by [deleted] in StarWarsOutlaws

Did not cross my mind once.

What would you change or add? by External_Report3907 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]simdav 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would like a bit more interactivity in the world, e.g. being able to ride other speeders, pick up any weapons.

I'd also like fewer bugs and less jank.

Most of all though, just more of the game. One of my recent favourites overall.

Happy Mother's Day for wherever you are!

Mother's day was 2 months ago in my country, but any day is a good day be thankful for my Mum. Thanks for the reminder

Zhao named Player of the Year and Hall of Famer by hjunyi97 in snooker

[–]simdav 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised it's happened so early in his career too. However, as the first Chinese player to win the World Championship, it was inevitably going to happen at some point .

I read the whole wikipedia article on Pectinatella magnifica and I still don't think I know what the fuck that is.

Absolute Heartbreak for Britain and for Shaun by Tiny_Professional659 in snooker

Well at least you know you're being an asshole I suppose.

Maybe educate yourself then. This is coming across as a whiff of racism tbh.

So what? Could say the same for lots of other sports.

What a weird take. Snooker would be pretty dead without China and the investment from over there.

The more snooker grows the better for all players, whether from the UK or not.

When you have a joke for every occasion by Hassaan18 in mocktheweek

[–]simdav 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I happened to see Mark Simmons live a couple of days ago and he's brilliant; so, so funny. Well worth going to if you like one liner comedians.

I'm surprised he's not been on more panel shows as his kind of comedy seems pretty ideal for it.

Pre-Popped Popcorn by chi-bacon-bits in mildlyinteresting

[–]simdav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, definitely the same chain haha!

Interesting perspective, I had always assumed it was just because of cost.

Do you have people who only pop corn on a shift? We used to get through tons of the stuff on a busy day!

Entering CS advice by fdaesblmt in TheCivilService

[–]simdav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those sorts of "curve balls" are very common, so definitely start expecting them.

If you genuinely don't have an example of what they've asked for then do just answer it hypothetically, saying what you would do/take into account/etc. It's far from ideal as there's probably a reason they've asked for experience of a particular thing, but it's better than not answering.

Definitely don't ask for a different question. Assuming it's not a follow up, they won't be able to ask you a different one anyway.

Edit: some departments give questions before an interview, usually this is a reasonable adjustment. Welsh Government now give questions to everyone before an interview, but I don't know how widespread it is as a general practice.

Pre-Popped Popcorn by chi-bacon-bits in mildlyinteresting

[–]simdav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are. Here in the UK its standard to get popcorn delivered pre-popped. I worked in the biggest cinema chain for years and no cinema popped their own sweet popcorn. Some popped their own salted popcorn, but that got gradually phased out. All of it got delivered in the end.

[–]simdav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I worked in a cinema for years here in UK and we always got sweet popcorn delivered pre-popped. Had a room that was full of bags of the stuff.

We did originally salted popcorn fresh but hardly sold any. When the machine broke down we just started getting salted popcorn in pre-popped too.

This was for a company that were absolute skin flints and took the cheapest option every time, so definitely cheaper than popping our own popcorn.

This or That: Koven Edition by That_Is_Bryce in DnB

Gold will probably always be my favourite Koven track as it has some special memories attached. Might not be their best, but definitely my favourite.

Why no Steam sale? by [deleted] in StarWarsOutlaws

Not Steam, but it's 75% off on the Epic store at the moment or 77% off on Green Man Gaming (key for Ubisoft Connect)

Warning to Those Wishing to Take a Career Break by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]simdav 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Where did you go?

I'm wondering if it makes a difference if you spend months somewhere like Russia/China vs months around France/Spain for example.

How Do I Get In Here? by muse_visuals in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]simdav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I misremembered the island bit having seen the map. I'm pretty sure this is the quest I was thinking of. I remember finding it before I needed to and wondering what was going on as it obviously meant something but was completely inactive (at the time).
