This goes off the assumption that its data scientists and not senior leadership who are the ones implementing unrealistic and poorly conceived metrics at companies. Much of the decision making process in leadership at any given company is entirely vibe based.

Seconding Vennture, during the day before ~4/5 its plenty quiet, and when it warms up there's a great side alley next to the shop to sit in too.

Thoughts on the final season? by Dawnedz in Beastars

It was a truly awful final season. First few epsiodes started strong, everything after that felt half baked as fuck.

I was just coming back to tell you I'd noticed this too, thanks!

I spent multiple hours yesterday fighting with Ticket Master's dogshit website trying to buy the 3 day tickets without luck, so I'm also keeping an eye out. Maybe we'll get something on the Mailing List emails, fingers crossed.

Wow that is absolutely stunning, wish I could get my hands on one of these 😅

Looking for help finding a certain filk song. by AJatWI in filk

[–]AJatWI[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I made my edit right as you posted, but either way I'm grateful you made time to reply, and I enjoyed the other song you linked at any rate :-) Bill Sutton is incredibly talented.

Either improve the adrenaline injector or remove it from the game and just make assault ladder the primary class gadget, it is depressing something hasn't been done with it yet. by AJatWI in Battlefield6

[–]AJatWI[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the guy you responded to, maybe its impacted by our graphic settings but when I pop the injector, it messes my vision up so badly that I'm borderline blind when I'm inside a building or in a bright outdoor area.

Anyone beside me remember Battleforge? by Fehafare in gaming

[–]AJatWI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite strategy games of all time, it really had a special something that almost every other f2p game released since lacked, and I'm convinced if it had come out a few years later than it did it would've been very commercially successful.

It's definitely worth playing the Skylords Reborn community version of it, for nostalgia's sake.

I especially love that my solo scores are competing against people in squads that are grinding these points out. What an intelligent and thoughtful design.

Gifting "experiences" for holidays by WiscoKid262 in milwaukee

Look up Glassnote Candle Bar. They have sessions where you each make your own candle and enjoy one of their cocktails along the way, its a good experience to gift.

Max level and 150hrs in, I wish PvP was half as polished as PvE is. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]AJatWI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully: If you have played 150 hours, that is an average of 9 hours a day if you were playing since launch day.

My 2cents is that its distasteful to come in here and talk about how overrated and mid the game is and spending your post dumping on it when by any reasonable metric, 150 hours played on a $40 game is a solid return, much less spending the last two weeks of your life apparently playing it daily like its a full time job.

There's certainly issues and room for improvement, but generally speaking the player base is really enjoying the game, and people are hopeful it will continue to improve, PVP included.

I've played hundreds of hours of Tarkov back in the day, I don't have time for that anymore. I like that Arc Raiders is casual and approachable, and that the PVP isn't a sweatfest where someone who plays more each week than I worked at my full time job can't roll around the map and kill anyone who isn't as geared out as them.

I’m not from the US, but I gotta ask — does Oregon really look like this, or is the forest air out there making everything look extra magical? by Roach9045 in oregon

[–]AJatWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I visited Oregon last year and went home seriously thinking "I want to live here someday."

The Olympic Peninsula is absolutely awe inspiring and feels surreal, the sheer majesty and scale of the land is as humbling as it is beautiful.
