I've got a group interview scheduled on Wednesday for a Retail Technician position. What should I expect? Any advice on wardrobe?

I applied for the retail tech position on Monday and got invited to the group interview just yesterday. Pretty nervous ngl. Mostly I'm just wondering what a group interview entails? I've only ever had virtual one-on-ones. Are we all essentially competing for the same role? Will we be all together, or split up for one-on-ones?

Also, I'm wondering how formal my attire should be. Button-up and tie? No tie? Khakis or slacks?

[Hiring] D&D Party Commission Based on Invincible meme image - 6 Characters + a skull, ~$100 budget.

If you're familiar with the show Invincible, you might have seen this image floating around. It's become a bit of a meme to make new versions of the first image with different characters from other shows/games/movies/etc. I have no drawing ability whatsoever, but I desperately need to see my DnD party (actually Draw Steel party, but same diff) in this setup.

All characters already have designs/references. 5 humanoids and 1 robot/bionicle type character. The skull would be of cyclops-like race with only one large eye-socket. I only need the characters marked 0-6, the rest can be omitted and just be background. I'd like it in about a month or so, but that's not a hard deadline.

Lmk if you're interested!

Finally finished Second Coming. Anyone else think Scott was too harsh here with Rogue?

Cyclops is my guy, but I kinda think he was outta line here.

  1. Based on how Hope was moving during this arc, Rogue would have had to physically fight/restrain her from joining the fight, who knows how that would have gone with her powers just now manifesting.

  2. "I also thought you could work as part of a team." Total bullshit, highly disrespectful. Rogue's given how many years of her life to the X-Men at this point? How can you call Rogue a loose cannon when you got Wolverine on your roster?

  3. Finally, while I can acknowledge Rogue disobeyed him, it did pretty much work out in the end. Hope awakened her mutant abilities, gained a newfound strength/confidence in the wake of Cable's death, and saved the day. It's not a coincidence that a couple new mutants started popping up on Cerebro right after.

My take? I'll admit I'm biased towards Nessan. She's got big grandma energy, the way she advises Ragn on his diet and teaches him druidic magic. Even so, my pick is Olzis. She's infinitely patient, kind (but firm), and has thousands of years of experience to back up great amounts of knowledge. Hard to beat. I'd put Lisa just under Nessan, if only for her young(ish) status. Modissa has heart, but is too inexperienced/naive to be considered the wisest.

My take? Snurre is my favorite character in the game. Listening to him go on about politics, psychology, and gender for hours is genuinely a pleasure. But Visken is probably smarter, and he has a proficiency in magic/lich status that Snurre lacks. Then again, Bondoval, to my mind, best embodies Intelligence's arrogant personality.

I listed a few examples, but feel free to name a different character if you think they better represent Constitution. Notably, I could only think of two characters (Kraaid/Alfoz) who use Con for their behold stat.

Relevant Parts:

  • Gigabyte AORUS MASTER GeForce RTX 5090
  • 9800x3d
  • G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL26 Memory
  • Lian Li EDGE GOLD 1200 W 80+ Gold

This has been something of a long running issue for me. I first noticed it playing Expedition 33, 4K max settings. I would get almost random black screen crashes. My PC would remains on, and I could still hear audio, but I'm not able to get video back no matter what and my M/KB inputs don't seem to register. All I can do is turn off the PC by holding the power button. The exact time it would happen varied, but usually within the first 30 minutes or so of play. At the time, I believe an optimization mod I installed fixed the issue.

Now, I'm getting the exact same crashes playing Pragmata, specifically when I have ray tracing/path tracing enabled. Max settings without raytracing works fine. With path tracing, I'll crash in a few minutes of gameplay. With just ray tracing, it's a crap shoot. It might be fine the whole session, or it crashes after like an hour. Looking at event viewer, it sometimes it mentions "nvlddmk" as a source for an error that happens during one of these crashes. I believe this means the graphics driver failed? But that error doesn't always appear.

Things I've tried:

  • DDU drivers from safe mode + disabling windows gpu driver updates
  • Running gpu stock without my usual undervolt/oc (+760 at 900mv)
  • Disabling EXPO
  • Running cpu stock without my usual PBO/CO settings (+200mhz, 8x scalar, -20)
  • Changing the permissions of the "nvlddmkm" file in the gpu driver to local user
  • Turning of MSI Afterburner + all other backround tasks
  • Reseating GPU and RAM, reseating gpu 12vpwr cable

Note:

  • GPU sits in the low 80s during gameplay, CPU in mid 70s

I'm at my wits end here. I didn't build a high performance PC just to not use ray tracing/path tracing. I don't want to worry about whether or not my PC will crash in other graphics heavy games in the future. If anyone has an idea for anything else I can try, I'd really appreciate it.
