ThomasPaine posted:In other news I just downloaded Just Cause 4 because it's on ps plus and my word it's a fun game but it's essentially a CIA intervention simulator if one of the big bad agents was an indestructible superhero. josh04 posted:Just Cause 2 leaned really hard into this for laughs, but it did feel like half the writing team wasn't in on the joke. Best imo is Just Cause 3. Its better than 2 just in handling and traversing around the map, and poo poo loads to do. Its worse than 4, just niggling bugs and things missing from 3 just make it less. Still good to play, just not superior. JC3 gave us an excellent cover of Firestarter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjAWgUN5y3U

Bobstar posted:This has an unfortunate side effect: most Dutch shops, even the biggest supermarkets, don't take credit cards, or things that function like credit cards (including UK debit cards), because they don't want to pay the processing fees - they only accept local debit cards, or ones from neighbouring countries that work the same. So when UK friends and family visit, we tell them to bring cash because none of their cards will work, and they laugh and say they're sure they will. Then we visit a cash point with them. Dutch cards are the cause of most random chargebacks for the company I work for. Their banks just do not like sending money outside of the country. The customer could be using us for every month for the last 10 years, then at random BAMMM! the bank denies and blocks us as we are 'suspicious'.

Mechanical mandible posted:except ATMs worked on business hours; better hope you got the cash out before 5pm otherwise you’re outta luck. In the late 90s I remember the rush to the ATMs before Friday 5-6pm as they wouldn't be restocked until the following Monday. It would ruin your entire weekend if you couldn't get money out.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What annoys me is that most of the banks / card companies have stopped you being able to put in travel details which surely could help claiming that you'd be able to use your card. I don't see why they don't let you do that anymore. Can only guess to stop it being used in the country you 'cleared' it for to send money to somewhere else where it can't be claimed back.

Gonzo McFee posted:I think they'll just blame whoever the papers tell them to blame tbh. So immigrants, the EU and the Left most likely. This. Papers have been stirring up immigrant hatred for yonks, they don't need to keep to the same story to continue, they just adapt. So far its Gammon 'too many bloomin foreigners over here' groupthink. But once the food supply is threatened, and farms are falling all over the place as no one will work for them, the newspapers will blame the EU in a vague way like how the EU is preventing workers from coming over to punish the UK for reclaiming back freedom and sovereignty. Then the Gammons will be 'bloomin foreigners think they are too good not wanting to work for us'.

Mebh posted:we're basically moving to a "we don't care when you work or how you work as long as you do your tasks and are available if someone needs you" This is ok if you have a good home space to work in. This year has been a small first world version of hell for myself and a few others workwise. Started working from home in March, and it was great at first. Something different and exciting. But cabin fever definitely sets in. Am finding it hard to concentrate with the annoyances around me and from our connection to work. There is a garage opposite so car repair noises, the apartment upstairs has a kid jumping what seems like 10 hours a day (and always 9 jumps in a row at a time, still don't know why maybe its the width of the room), and kids in the near estate shouting at all hours of the day. Then for the last two hours of my shift, and every day of the week, the bloke opposite plays the same 10-15 songs at 'just about can hear' levels. 1960s crooner and folk songs, wouldn't mind if they were good ones. And then there is 3 second out of sync delay in everything with the connection to work from home. And work says the same as what you said 'we don't care as long as you do the minimum we expect'. Personally I would love to go back to the office atm.

Mebh posted:That's really rough! Our office is opening up for a few others to do the same who want to so I hope you get the same. My company invested in everyone's workspaces that needed it. We got desks and pcs delivered to us and I just got a ps5 devkit too. Work provided noise cancelling headphones and keeps giving us just eat and amazon vouchers to make up for no team events. Thanks. Have a good set of headphones, only problem is that the main door for our apartment complex is right below, the vibrations come up and I feel them. It's ok when I can hear the door sound as the brain matches it. But without it the brain thinks someones in the room. So if I go full hog with music, I end up looking at the door behind me every time at the slightest tremor. And with the one hopping up and down so hard sometimes this can be increased. Now I love the place I am in, cheapest rent in the whole city for one, and I lived beside a creche for most of my life with all the noise from there. So noise in general isn't a thing. Private live wise its good. But work wise its just not great for long term productivity. And work does help with the small things, got a free proper office chair and webcam from them. But can't see them offering what would help stop these, like sound insulation or a gun.

No plastic coverings, anything made was either wrapped in brown paper, string, or newspaper. When no one in 14 billion years upto that point thought 'hang on, can we can sell pre-made sandwiches?'.

Just Another Lurker posted:My last item from Amazon.de arrived, nothing more getting ordered unless an Amazon.ie suddenly pops up after brexit (i'm in N.I. and rumours abound but nothing certain). Did you get the mail from Amazon last week about possible Import Fee charges on items from the UK now? I post things to both NI and Ireland, my family home house and my current place in the Republic. I can see them expanding the mainland europe warehouses with more UK items, to get around the charges. It would be mad not to.

Lungboy posted:If you think that No Deal was the aim from the beginning then Boris has delivered and will be a hero. Whether he stays depends on how they can sell it and whether he was a sacrificial lamb to get it done then sack off afterwards. My prediction is that they will only get rid of Boris immediately if he fucks up the fishing problem. They don't give a poo poo about NI, trade, or anything else in Brexit. But fishing, the only thing the gammons pretend to really care about with Brexit, if he sells that out he's gone before March. Otherwise there will be fireworks, flags, and FREEDOM reports in the media every day for the next few month, awhile the slow collapse begins.

Endjinneer posted:So let me get this right. One of the key sticking points in brexit negotiations is our conservative overlords, champions of the free market and small government are willing to go to the wall for the freedom to provide state subsidies to businesses? I maybe reading this wrong, but loving hell its more farcical than that. The UK wants the right to tell the EU what it can and can not fund or invest in. Take any product or service, if the UK wants to make it and sell, the EU can't invest money in that same product anywhere within the EU as that would be making competition against the UK.

TheRat posted:Ive got maybe 40 hours in cyberpunk on a fairly decent pc and the only bugs Ive seen so far have been minor visual glitches. Im absolutely loving it so far (nearing the end of act 2), but I'm guessing thats because I had 550 hours in the witcher 3 and went into this expecting a futuristic witcher rather than a GTA game. For me it's one of my favourite games of all time, especially if they can work out the glitches and provide top tier dlc like they did with witcher 3. I play on PC too, and have had a few fun bugs. I called my bike, it drove up, and every car behind it would drive up, hit it, and backflip bounce 10m into the air. Another time, running on the street at night time in a sleezy area to enjoy the atmos and see what I can see, and every human model changes into 10yo kids. Just kids half my size everywhere, walking down the street at 4am, telling me to watch my step.
