  • Playing it now. I had to buy FO4 GOTY edition in order to play but that was fortunately on sale for £12. Encountered one game breaking bug in the first hour where I had to look at the floor of a train to avoid a crash to Windows desktop after the opening credits. However since then I’ve had no issues.

    They seem to have leaned into the roleplaying elements of the series which I really appreciate. I felt that was missing from FO4 when I played that back on consoles when it came out. I’m not sure if, tonally, London will be a suitable location for a Fallout game given how heavily they lean into Americana - and a specifically American style of Hoover-esque Cold War paranoia. We’ll see how it goes as the game progresses.










  • I tend to pick up Gamepass for 1 month at a time when there is a game I want to play on there. Last time it was Hellblade 2, I grabbed it and played a couple sittings to finish it and then cancelled the sub immediately. I feel that is good value for money since I can check out a few other games in the 30 days.

    I wouldn’t consider it worthwhile if I didn’t have an Xbox Series S though. If my main gaming device was a PC then I’d stick to being patient and waiting for sales. Series S + Nintendo Switch has been a solid combo for my budget gaming needs this gen.





  • Potentially you could say that you were investigating re-training and doing Udemy courses if you wanted to make it sound like you were not just sitting on your hands in the employment gap.

    To be honest, as someone who has been sitting on the other side of the desk doing a lot of interviews on behalf of my company recently, I don’t really pry into the employment gaps. A lot of people put on their CV that they were focusing on their family commitments during the gap and there’s no real reason to question it. Employers are interested on the relevant experience that the candidate has over their entire career as opposed to just the last position they held.
