I was pleasantly surprised by this, possibly because my expectations were very low. The story served as an interesting introduction to the world of Fallout. The interplay between the three protagonists was (mostly) well done. And though it did veer into Borderlands humour at times, I think they...

I still play Warzone 2100 from time to time. I'm not sure if it's still being worked on though - the latest update was late last year (over 24 years after the game came out!).

Happens all the time in hospitality management roles now. The advert will say £42k per year. It'll turn out that this is based on a 48 hour per week contract, with £8k coming from your "share of projected gratuities" and £5k from bonuses. When you break it down, that means the base pay is 18p an...

Look up Scrabble Trickster and then come back & tell me you still think Scrabble Together is the worst thing they've ever done :cry: I might actually pick up Scrabble Together. Nobody will play Scrabble with me any more as I pretty much always win. And I refuse to play Trickster because it is...

Yes. Just stick Octopus Agile into Google and the first result will be the Agile product page. You can switch straight over from here (the switch is instant).

It's maybe not that simple. Octopus Compare is showing that Agile has been cheaper for me so far this year, and that's without load shifting. I switched to Agile from Tracker yesterday as I can easily shift my EV charging to midnight onwards, making the savings even larger. Agile peak pricing...

Everything from Fashion Police Squad onwards looks great. Always wanted to try out Humankind, but I hear not so great things about it. So I'm on the fence with that one. Flogging the Victoria & Calisto keys should pay for the bulk of the bundle, so it's an easy buy for me.

Well, I escaped. Gave my two weeks notice in on Wednesday. My current place of work can be somebody else's nightmare now.

Yes. My intention is to get out of hospitality. I've worked in hospitality & retail for 20 years now and I'd quite like my weekends back :cry: But in the interest of making a speedy exit from my current post, I've started applying for hospitality jobs as well. I doubt it'll take long now I've...

I used to love my job. I'd do four 11-ish hour shifts per week & get three days off. But due to people leaving faster than they can recruit, things have gotten out of hand since Christmas. It's now more like five 12 hour shifts plus constant requests to do more, constant messages on days off...

I told myself that the Deck was for emulation and playing through said backlog... Fast forward 3 months & I've put more time into Baldur's Gate 3 than everything else combined :cry: I haven't used my gaming laptop for gaming in months now, which seems like a waste. I'm lugging around a ~3kg...

I put my notice in a few days ago. Got a call from outbound retentions yesterday. The offers were bad. £34/month for 350Mb or £40/month for 500Mb (boosted to 500Mb and 1Gb via Volt). The Volt benefit depends on me continuing to pay O2 for a SIM that I don't use (I only bought it for the speed...

For anyone looking at TV & broadband, it's cheaper to go through the TV-only link and then add broadband at the end. I went for: Sky Stream Netflix Standard 500Mb broadband £40 per month for 18 months I did have UHD in my basket as well, but for some reason the discount on this wasn't...

Got myself an Honor Magic V2 via the Three trade-in deal (£1,248 for the phone + a £500 bonus on trade-in value). Hardware-wise it is incredible. Really thin. Decent screens. Great camera. Feels solidly built without being heavy. The only grumble I have with the hardware is that the hinge snaps...

I wouldn't say order really matters outside of reading individual series of books on order. Bloodline is excellent. I'd look to the Aftermath Trilogy or Thrawn Trilogy next.

Moss-Bachrach isn't a bad shout for Ben Grimm TBF. Pascal is the oddity here without a doubt. His most iconic roles don't really have much in common with Reed Richards. So either they are planning a very different Reed Richards, or Pascal is going to be pushed outside of his comfort zone.

My average for the five months from September to now is lower than from April to August last year. With Autumn and Winter pricing averaging ~20-25% over pre-pandemic pricing, it's entirely plausible that the 12m average to September 2024 could be in the same ballpark as pre-pandemic prices (even...

It'll still remain the best gas tariff on the market. It's worked out at just over 4p per kWh for me over the last quarter. Some of us might be cheaper moving to other tariffs for electricity though. For me, last quarter averaged to 17p per kWh. On the new tariff that would have been around...

Or stream it using Geforce Now?

IMO things are more likely to come to a head after a war than before one. "Dear Milenials and Zoomers. Thanks for dying for your country. Now could you get back to work - you have pensions, health & social care and now an expensive war to pay for you know! And there's half a million less of you...
