Far Cry 4

Long time to go!

 

LOL what is it with you and ink.

 

It's addictive I know! LOL

 

Do you have a fetish for needles?

 

Maybe I am just a masochist....and now I think we have derailed the thread to where it has come off the rails and crashed!

 

It's OK. Games with such crap support deserve to have their thread derailed!

 

Play The Crew instead

 

anything else that's good that's not driving games? i am hoping the AC Unity patch will make it playable at long last and i might grab that.

 

Yeah very long time... Very broke till then too... Need work ASAP!

 

Same here, this boat sucks!

 

Cry ... But it's good to have a job lined up.. I was so worried as I had completed uni and didn't have anything after going to so many interviews

 

I've been sending out applications but not hearing many responses with only a handful of interviews. so I just freelance, do survival jobs while I keep looking.

 

I feel your pain. After I finished uni last year I had no interviews for the jobs related to my degree, the situation was so bad I was being turned down at the application stage constantly. In the space of 10 months I had I think 3 interviews, none of which were even remotely related to my degree subject. So I've ended up going back to uni again for an MRes degree. I sure hope the job market will have improved by Autumn next year.

new beta driver came out?does it improve far cry 4?anyone tryied?

 

so far the only notes for it is the support for MGSV: ground zeroes and elite dangerous.

 

i really thought nvidia would make a great driver for the end of this year like amd but this year the done nothing good with drivers.Every driver performance same or worse

 

just installed the drivers....they feel the same really.

 

try them on ac unity if you have(i dont have it) cause on guru3d comments one member posted that he gained about 10fps

 

didn't buy that game!

 

Alienware machine, check. 780M, check. SSD + HDD storage, check. Didn't buy AC:Unity, check. I have concluded that you are a smart man.

 

hahaha thanks i didn't buy AC:Unity on the predication that the series started to get boring after black flag nor did the french revolution even interested me.

i'm still waiting to see if Patch 4 for AC:Unity will make it playable so if there's people who bought the game can try the game post-patch and report back on the game's stability that would be good then I'd get it for Ss & Gs. Dying Light and MGSV: Ground Zeroes look interesting and I'll get them to see how they fare on my AW17 with MGSV:GZ coming out in a few hours but can't pre-purchase or know what the dang price is! Jan 27 feels very close now.

 

Tell me about it. A BSc is pretty much worthless these days, couldn't even get a single interview. Luckily I kinda figured that would happen so I'd already applied to grad school. One very long year later (I averaged 5 hours of sleep during the weekdays) and 2 interviews came my way while I was still writing my thesis. I'm pretty sure I didn't go from 0 to 100 in that one year, but hey the title of your degree matters.

The most ironic part is my BSc diploma proudly hangs on a wall in a $100 frame at my parents place, while my MSc diploma quietly sits in an oversized envelope in drawer somewhere, feeling very sad and neglected.

 

It also depends how on whether if you're willing to start at the bottom and the reality is you will need to, I did intern work just to get experience and my foot in the door. Don't expect to get into a high level job from the get go, work your way up, get experience.

 

The irony is that I had a Masters degree.. main problem was I was trying to get from Engineering to Finance/IT

Yeah, I had to intern in a bank this summer and then finally they considered giving interviews... Haven't had much luck but at least 1 thing is in the bag and I'm grateful for that...

 

I disagree. The title of your degree/quality of it does not matter. It does matter that you have at least something to get started.

So long as you keep looking and most of all keep a positive attitude you will get the job you set out to get. For the most part further education is a waste of time these days. Experience is worth far more. Once you start accumulating experience it will contribute well to successful application for the next job. Think of it like stepping stones. Once you are in employment then you will be considered for interview. If you are not employed forget it they are not interested.

Ghosts is right. I started where my username states (without the king part )

 

In my field, marine biology, jobs are few and far between. Any experience I do get is not really relevant to the mundane everyday jobs like shop assistant etc., so those kind of employers don't look at me twice as I have no experience with those kind of jobs at all. Any experience I do get from those mundane jobs is then not relevant to the specialist field of marine biology. I do plan on doing some voluntary stuff from early next year, just too busy with coursework at the moment.

you know what they say about teachers!

 

Try another field. It is likely somehow, especially if you thrive at the job your experience will help you return to your original field. That is what has happened to me. I started in hospitality. Moved to Japan and became a teacher literally overnight. Totally different field, country and life. Couldn't be happier though. Recently upon application to new jobs that I wouldn't have even thought to dare apply to in the past I am having success due to things I have learned and experienced in my current profession.

Experience no matter how or where you gain it counts. Don't stick to the profession your degree dictates if it doesn't suit you to do so. Mine was Tourism Management. Finally what 8 years later I might be getting a job remotely to do with that degree haha

 

That teachers rock

 

LOL

well, i was hinting at the saying "those that can't do, teach!"

 

I know .

Anyone can teach. Can anyone teach well? Not at all.

 

Any marine life in Far Cry 4? I could study their behaviour as part of my project.

Who knows! Perhaps becoming an AI specialist might help you to get into marine biology It might sound stupid or an unnecessary risk but if you have passion to learn something new and change in order to learn it, you will reap what you sow.

 

they got that devil fish thing that you need to skin for the purposes of crafting items

you can find out why all the animals in the game are just a right pain in the butt too!

 

This thread is becoming fantastically off on topic! Love this forum.

 

As tempting as it is I think I've already chosen what to do for my project!

beta nvidia drivers (347.09) don't make a difference for the game....needs another patch!

 

This is the random drop to 30fps from 60fps i was talking about. the vid is the third instance i could find so far that does this and there's no reason for it!

to add to my grief list...

6) sniper rifles - they seem to do too much damage.
7) sniper rifles - this time i had a big rock that blocked my line of sight and yet the enemy died when i pulled the trigger so for some magical reason they're able to go through rocks.
8) rolling over while still riding an ATV you can clip through the world floor.
9) civilian AI running away from your speeding vehicle but in the wrong direction and get run over by you...then the game blames you for their death and deducts karma points....oh FFS!

 

who cares about karma? It's a stupid feature to have in a overly violent game. I've got my buzzsaw and that is all that matters! hehe

 

i don't but my point about it is that the logic of the game AI's and karma mechanics is stupid because it's not the player's fault that the civilian decided to evade my car/atv by running into it!

 

nice framerate are you playing it on high?

 

oh hell no! mix of low, medium, and ultra settings....only textures are set to ultra everything is a mix of medium or low.

 

I can tell you for my field (chemistry) it's at least several orders of magnitude more difficult to find a job with just a bachelors. And in Canada it's basically impossible. Positive attitude doesn't count for jack when there are hundreds of other far overqualified applicants fighting over that position. Unless you're willing to work for free then that might be an option.

As to the title of my degree comment, well all I'm saying is one year of grad school does not make you go from "unemployable" to "highly qualified applicant". It's funny because I applied to this one company with just a bachelors and they didn't bother giving me an interview or returning any of my calls. When I applied to this same company with a masters (for giggles mainly), they literally emailed me back the same day asking when I could go in for an interview.

Oh and the whole "experience" requirement is just an absurd catch 22 clause. You need to have experience in order to qualify for the position, oh but you can't get experience because nobody wants to hire someone with no experience.

As for working from the bottom up and not shooting for the moon... While I can see where this is coming from, in practice this means you're basically inviting the company to lowball you. For me it means I do the work expected of a masters but get paid the same as someone with a bachelors. But yes at least I have a job so I guess I'll just shut my hole.

 

the problem with having 1 or more university degrees is.....DEBT! I still owe on my bachelors and I was so close to doing a Graduate Diploma (one down from a Masters) but decided not to because I didn't really think it was worth it.

 

Depending on the field and school a full blown masters could be entirely funded so you won't have to pay a single penny. At least that's how it was for me although 1/3 of my funding came from 200 hours of TA work.

Also I thought there was a grace period and a cap on how much you have to repay OSAP?

 

also depends on the country that you're studying in may have different schemes for tertiary students.

 

Oh sorry I assumed you did university in Canada since your location says Toronto.

 

Oh ok. Nah, I studied in Australia with BA in media and communications. I am just temp residing in Canada on a work visa.

 

Do you guys also have this interesting graphics issue with AMD card?

 

You aren't going to see some crazy performance increase with every driver. It's usually targeted at compatibility, bug fixes, or specific games.
