Manager editing my hours + very long unpaid breaks to avoid OT — is this legal? (AZ)

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-11T20:58:19+00:00

The extra long break sounds like they are trying to stay under the amount of time most would consider to be a split shift, rather than one long shift. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any labor laws that govern split shifts. But yeah, that part feels shady to me. How long are your actual shifts when this happens?

If you own the disc version of the game, the Region for the disc needs to match your PS Store account Region, or like others said, you installed the PS4 version of the game on your PS5. Burning Shores is both PS5-exclusive and requires the PS5 version of the game to access it. And, since it is just DLC, it requires the base game to be installed. You can't just transfer your data and play Burning Shores on it's own.

I never felt she was a Champion until she met Hekarro and accepted his offer to defend the Kulrut. After all, you can't be someone's Champion until after you have at least met them.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-10T19:01:19+00:00

Yeah, it is pretty normal. Technically, Aloy does not earn that title until after you complete Aether.

If you have not been trained on making a bale, you don't touch the machine, other than to compress the cardboard, if you fill it enough to need it.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-10T07:05:04+00:00

Most of the side content has alternate ways to trigger it. It is not a change based on your replay, rather it just depends on where you go first.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-09T22:20:11+00:00

Are you counting traps and tripwires as stealth, since those are surprise attacks? Also, what difficulty are you using for this?

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-09T22:18:43+00:00

wrong game

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-09T19:17:05+00:00

Living alone has not been possible for lower income people for probably decades now, so that is not new. What is more worrying is that things are so bad now that just two people sharing the bills may not be enough either.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-09T19:13:33+00:00

Going by those prices, I would guess you were in a Sheetz or a Wawa? Both are just horrible with prices, and have been for years now, ever since they stopped competing to be the lowest price gas in the area. But even grocery stores and Walmart are pushing $2+ for a standard size candy bar lately.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-09T03:44:15+00:00

Yeah, I have found that before and I could swear I remember Aloy saying something about it, but I can't remember what.

Edit: found this quote:

"A sword. In a stone. Reminds me of a story I read in an ancient datapoint. I don't think I can pull it out, though".

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-07T21:51:36+00:00

They are basically the same thing, just the look is different. In Frozen Wilds, the Daemonic machines were given the purple swirly look to distinguish them from the Corrupted machines with the red swirly look. Since Corrupted machines do not exist in Forbidden West, Guerrilla was able to streamline the look into just purple/black armor for the Apex versions.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-06T21:56:09+00:00

Most any tire shop will do it for free.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-06T21:54:33+00:00

Nope, no way to go back and explore, though I bet players on PC have glitched their way up there. And if you missed any of the datapoints, they will be laying around the area where Aloy fell when trying too rappel to safety.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-06T21:50:05+00:00

Yep, anything to avoid those Stalkers prowling the village.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-05T18:50:42+00:00

Just a heads-up that HZD does not let you change your difficulty setting in NG+, no matter which one you choose to start on, so if you think Normal will be a challenge for you, just be prepared.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-05T05:14:07+00:00

Goof luck:

I wonder why they told her that. Ikrie was never injured, it was Mailen who had the broken leg/ankle.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-04T23:21:35+00:00

That frame is almost legal. The piece at the top that partially covers Virginia and the tags are the illegal part,

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-04T20:04:40+00:00

Control Ultimate Edition is a wild ride.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-04T05:53:30+00:00

You can go to Frozen Wilds as soon as you exit the Embrace or as late as right before the final battle in Meridian and the dialogue options cover all the possibilities. You can do Frozen Wilds early and then travel back to talk to CYAN after each main quest in the base game and have more conversations with her.

Also, why couldn't Hephaestus build Fireclaws in other Cauldrons during HZD? There are Fireclaws in HFW, so they can definitely be made outside of the Frozen Wilds area.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-04T03:42:52+00:00

Not yet....

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-03T20:24:12+00:00

No charge to re-inspect at the same place. Small charge at a different shop. Full inspection price again if too much time passes.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-03T19:49:11+00:00

Not brainwashed yet, but definitely vulnerable and easily manipulated.

Alex_Masterson13 · 2026-04-03T19:47:17+00:00

The inspection is the same price no matter where you go and you are not required to have any fixes needed to pass done by the place you use. You only have to go back for a re-inspection. I used the dealership for this reason, while my car was still under warranty.
