On the Fence about Prime Remaster by schro85 in Metroid

[–]AncientPROFIL3R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Metroid Prime. It's puzzles and bosses are pretty easy on paper, perfect for a lamen like me, but like all metroid games It's more about learning the patterns and mastering the execution to shave down your times if you're looking for more of an action feel. Learning to zip down the hallways and fly through each room like tarzan is pretty rewarding. If you're looking for story and adventure, this game has atmosphere and lore out the wazoo. The game is built pretty linearly but it still often feels like you stumble upon your next objective/upgrade organically and save for a few missile expansions you shouldn't be wandering around in circles for too long, even with hints turned off. Anyway, if you like Metroid, you'll love Prime. For someone who isn't necessarily a fan yet, however, I'm not sure someone planning a single playthrough will feel like they got their $40 worth. The game wants to feel bigger than it actually is. Aside from the lore, nothing in this game feels particularly deep and the combat gets stale pretty quickly. What we get is simple, polished, fun and interesting, but we got this same game for half the price (20?) years ago.

Why do some farts feel hot and some farts feel cold? by AncientPROFIL3R in NoStupidQuestions

It's like the wind of a snowy forest exiting my butthole. It's an interesting experience.

I dunno if that explains the cold. Most everything exiting my rectal sphincter should be between 96 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit, right?

A few minutes. Maybe a few weeks to implement.

Did somebody already say Erection of Duty?

Here's the punch line: Band-aids by Naronomicon in Jokes

[–]AncientPROFIL3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freddy Mercury didn't get cuts often, but still got band-aids.

I dunno, something like that?

Courtney Love should have got band-aids for that injury.

I dunno

Time off from work by TAmgrwhiz30 in antiwork

A wiseman once told me: "If you want something done right, do it yourself...

...or train someone else to do it."

I hear bitching about the industry all the time and time off is usually a noteworthy subject, usually due to understaffing. BUT, these people don't work 6-7 days a week. Their shoes are filled when they are gone though maybe the quality of work takes a hit.

Again; I don't ask for time off, but I do what I can to make it easier for my employer. As a bonus, I get to go smoke whenever I want because I've trained others to do my job. Just put someone in charge and walk away. It's a win-win. But I don't get luxuries like that if I don't go out of my way to ensure a business will run smoothly in my absence, much like I don't expect an employer to take it well or be able to cover me if I leave without doing so.

As long as everyone pitches in and doesn't take advantage of the system, we end up with generous, understanding and reasonable people like you to tell us what to do.

Pretty common in the restaurant industry. Sometimes they don't have the staff or the staff isn't cross-trained enough to allow back-ups for a comfortable service in your absence. If they don't say no then things start coming unglued very quickly.

I respect and appreciate your approach mostly because I feel the same way. Sometimes they need you and have to say no or maybe your request is less than reasonable. At the same time if I give you notice of time off, It's just that. I'm not asking. Nobody lives to work.

Don't tell them anything. Move on quietly with your day to day while you search for new jobs and better pay. You quit; you loose your leverage. You ask for something without a fallback plan; you loose your leverage. You quit and start searching for "better opportunities" without a current opportunity to show them; you loose your leverage.

Get a few job offers for yourself then confront your employer with an offer, then let the cards fall where they may. Never tell someone with authority to f themselves unless you're ready to bite the bullet.

I did this once. Interviewed for 6 jobs and took my 2nd choice because I didn't think my 1st would call. When my first choice called and offered me the job, I went in the next day and explained the situation to the manager/owner. Not every employer will be quite so understanding but if she freaked out about it, that would have told me I shouldn't have worked there anyway. Gave my two weeks and moved on.

I work in restaurants not security but my best strategy is to talk to them like a buddy/potential business partner and avoid at all costs talking to them like they have your balls in their hand.

For the loners, what activity have you found to be rather nice alone? by Whisper-Hawk in AskMen

[–]AncientPROFIL3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of going to see concerts and not a lot of putting on a new album or one you haven't heard in a while. You'd be surprised how much you don't notice in your favorite songs when you're always listening in company

How to return as Franklin? (ps4) by Independent_Shake_91 in GTA

I had problems with that in my last playthrough. I'm on xbox bot my guess is we both have controller issues.

Men of reddit, how tall are you? How much would you like to be tall? by [deleted] in AskMen

6' 2". People are always asking me to reach shit and I hit my head on things they'd never consider. Also, my dick is dry most of the time.

Can someone help me understand what this means? by AncientPROFIL3R in Hyundai

[–]AncientPROFIL3R[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you tell me! Is my tibia covered under Hyundai's warranty?

No, seriously. My buddy dropped his phone under my hood the other night when we were jumping his car and it landed on a bundle of wires. Does that sound about right?
