The idea that higher wages attracts and retains better employees only works if you put in the effort to actually find them among the sea of applicants, and support them in other ways other than just pay. Our hiring department obviously thinks just crowing on about how much they pay (it is more than anyone else in our…

Well they aren’t really all one type of “game” so depending on what you want, hell yeah you can always be up for a game with zombies. TLoU is more of a highly cinematic character study, the zombies were more just a set up for it.

Teferi is cool and i do like him from a design and character standpoint, just hoping wotc can stop making his actual cards so fucking miserable. I didn’t even feel good playing them myself. My roommate, at the time when winconless teferi tuck was a thing, saw i had a U/W control deck on arena and called me some choice…

Out of curiosity, Black Lagoon is originally a manga right? Did the anime adaptation ever go beyond the Tokyo arc? Thats where I remember it ending when i watched it on Funimation and god damn I’d love some more Black Lagoon.

Some canned beans, a 1lb pack of dried blackbeans and some of the fresh produce i got to make a black bean soup with (should probably throw those out). Not really much else to be honest. When it was obvious people were going a bit batshit over the pandemic, I did make a pretty big trip (which only helped exacerbate…

yeah like i said I don’t blame her, it was a fuzzy situation and she took the option that kept her, her job, and my coworkers safe. I’ve always had the impression the temporal artery thermometers they use are either shitty, or they aren’t using them right, but whatever, didn’t get charged for the testing, and either…

I got sent home from work and told not to come back until cleared by a doctor for the flimsiest of fevers (right at the 100.4 threshold, i think my highest reading was 100.7) and I think everyone who doesn’t wear a mask should be forced to take the test, not even send it in for the actual test, just everyone get a…

it gets shoved so far up you nose you’ll swear they tickled your brain.

Well lets see, my work takes our temps when we arrive, and I tripped two seperate thermometers at around the absolute minimum fever of 100.4, had one weird read 5 minutes later of 99.8, followed by 100.3 about an hour later so i got sent home and told get cleared by a doctor, or wait 3 days for symptoms to go. Went to…

No thats pretty much hitting the gta V plot problem on the head, all three main characters are unlikeable and the primary cause of their own problems as opposed to Niko and CJ who had moments of showing they could be decent people, just thrown in to hard lifestyles.

If there’s anything that Destiny, Guild Wars 2, and FFXIV have taught me, its that open world informal grouping based events (ie public events/fates/etc) are the fucking worst. Oh sure the on paper theory is nice, large groups of players inherently coming together to perform objectives, wordlessly functioning as one…

I actually do want to get a VR set up, just for alyx (its stupid i know, i do have Elite and NMS to fuck around with too though) but holy hell is it stupidly expensive, and right now also super hard to find.

Texas is apparently also opening Friday, and to comply with the EO the Governor passed, everyone at my work will be required to wear masks (and we’re responsible for providing our own, with about 24-48 hours notice) presumably because we deal with the public. There’s something not meshing with the idea that its…

That island screenshot disgusts me purely because like you, I know I could never achieve such perfection. Know that i would not bully you, for throwing stones and glass houses and all that shit.

So i gave the demo like a 20 minute try and kind of wrote it off as a budget remake of some meh game, but I see people in the comments section kind of excited for this. Admittedly I have almost no experience with the mana series other than vaguely remembering a ps1 game with dark cloud-esque world building. Maybe I’m…

I work in an “essential” customer service job in Texas, i took the last week off (scheduled before this all started) and I came back expecting our location to be a ghost town like it kinda had been. Nope people were there, and apparently we were so busy during the weekend that our smaller stock levels (because we had…

Well thats what they went for in the original, and were very successful, you don’t even see him in the present till several hours later after Midgar, and prior you get several signals at just what you’re going up against, some of which are extremely iconic scenes. This one however they apparently decided why bother if…

Oh new players are straight up fucked. I mean entire final fight against the whispers requires knowledge of the first game to understand. The context of Red saying the visions are what happens if they lose is completely lost because they don’t understand thats the epilogue scene from the original where Cloud and crew…

Then why even include blood in the game at all? If its so minute, has no effect, and you don’t want it to be present in high level play, take it out. I applaud letting it naturally grow in to an esport versus trying to shove it down people’s throats, but surely that is the end goal regardless so why have something…

Here’s the thing, Sephiroth in a vacuum isn’t actually that interesting, hes a supersoldier psycho with a god complex, thats not particularly groundbreaking, but god damn if the Jaws approach didn’t pump him up. Following the blood trail to find nothing but his sword at end? freaky as fuck. Using the Kalm flashback to…
