My company actually freaks out if you use your PTO liberally but also freaks out if you want to use your vacation time all at once. It’s almost like our PTO policy is that we have it because it’s the in thing to do but they don’t want us to use it because staffing.

Ah, yes, those are what they call ‘DTAs’ (digital transport adapters), and they’re necessary because it’s likely Time Warner is actually in the process of encrypting the digital signal to prevent cable theft.

I don’t have issues with people wanting to write fanfic. I just think they should at least be in contact with the writer and/or do their damnedest to keep their version of the character as close in line with the actual character as they can. Respect the original author and their original intent.

An operating system that is faster and so far quite a bit more secure than anything I’ve used previously? Windows 8/8.1's style of Task Manager, a Start Menu that works almost exactly like the Start Menu Replacer I used for Windows 8 at work, multiple desktops... I didn’t realize I needed ‘essential’ new features to…

I upgraded from 7 Pro and couldn’t be happier. Yes, there was a learning curve to figure out where lots of things were now, but it’s all good. Learning and change are part of life.

Man, I remember my teenage years, playing Neverwinter Nights...

Aaaaand this is why I avoid “fandom” and “fanfic” like the plague that it is. As someone who is interested in being published someday, it scares me to think that fans could be so entitled as to believe they have the right to characters they didn’t create like that.

...must be nice to have money, lol.

This basically allows the players to be questgivers. This is not a bad thing. It’s not some random quest item that has no meaning or even function outside being a quest item; it’s something a player needs that another player can provide. I’m sure the player creating the job has to pay the person who accepts the job in…

If there’s a flaw in a system and a company exploits it for their gain, they’re directly at fault.

I’m disappointed that I didn’t hear any spoken dialogue. This is 2016; for there to be any non-spoken dialogue in the game would be tragic and a failure on Square-Enix’s part.

Wow, dude, you completely missed the point of KillahMate’s comment.

Uh, you know, in Final Fantasy IV the chocobos weren’t optional in at least one major instance, and I’m pretty sure FFV went pretty major on the choco, considering Boco was one of the secondary characters.

No, no, no, it does *not* make perfect sense to change that. Make the consoles somehow upgradeable, but don’t you dare turn them into disposable electronics. We already have enough of that garbage being manufactured in the smartphone world.

Yearly releases of entirely new devices is a TERRIBLE idea, and it needs to be…

I work for a cable company (not Time Warner); are these really little boxes that are about the size of a wallet? Or are they larger set-top boxes?

Time Warner may have encrypted their signal in your area, thus requiring boxes. I doubt this would work if that’s the case.

This will work until cable providers switch to encrypted digital channels, which is going to be sooner rather than later.

Jason, they’ve made sure to limit large story cutscenes in dungeons now, so the issues you had in Castrum and Praetorium don’t occur anymore. Any cutscenes they have in-dungeon now are short and to the point, with major cutscenes taking place after the content is cleared.

I do miss the way Castrum and Prae wound the…

Damn, and I already bought my Quantum Break white console for $299 recently. :/

AH why did you have to link that, now I’m gonna have nightmares again for weeks. :P

Video game movies are bad because Hollywood makes them. Hollywood is looking to please the lowest common denominator in order to rake in as much money as they can at the box office by attempting to appeal to as many demographics as they can.
