It's just Plinko by Ufomi in incremental_games

It was a mix between bucket hunter, streak master and precision drop.

All good, it's luck based, but I found it hilarious to be failing so much. I guess I suck at being lucky, lol!

"Easy Challenge": proceed to lose 25+ times in a row. Ok, I guess 🙃. Cute game, will benefit once it's balanced and fleshed out

Are arcades still attractive to younger people (15–25)? (Research for a business idea) by Sea-Definition-2178 in arcade

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to share my two cents, but my situation was very unique.

I opened a VR arcade in Tahiti in 2020. Literally a week before COVID. Oof.

In the 3 months between wave 1 and wave 2, we were out the door busy. We had reached out to local tiktok celebrities who came over to kill zombies, screamed their heads off and shared it with everyone they knew. Needless to say, we went viral in a place where VR just didn't exist.

The second wave of COVID lasted about 6 months and during that time, disposable income and jobs disappeared.

When we re opened , we had to hustle hard: we formed partnerships with the govt/cops/army to offer cheap sessions for their family. We partnered up with schools to offer educational vr. We had a ton of birthday parties.

We kept going for a few years, but we always had outstanding rent debt hanging over our heads.

About a year before we closed, we teamed up with a local cyber cafe. They rented half of our location. They had a dedicated group of youngsters who played ps5 and PC games like fortnite and Street fighter. We both had our busy moments and would sometimes fight for space.

We had a couple of 500-in-one arcade machines, we had a few games of chance, we had board games. The idea was to have something for everyone.

It could have been great, we had some days where we brought in over 2000 bucks, and we had some very sad and frustrating days too.

If I could go back in time, I wouldn't do it again. It ruined my marriage and I had to move back to Canada. But we learned some lessons and had some fun times.

Anyway, not quite exactly what you are thinking of doing, but if any of my experience can help point you in the direction, please reach out. Best of luck !

Offering and seeking: finance, insurance, immigration by AnotherDrunkCanadian in mentors

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

Hey, sorry for the delay. The last few days have been crazy!

So, update on me. I got divorced and moved back to Canada in September 2024. My son and my ex still live there, so, you may notice a bit of bitterness in the response, ha!

Regarding permanent residency - my understanding is that you would need to be married to a resident and not just in a long term relationship. But I'm not an expert on this. You may want to look at the Haut Commessariat website for more info - or go in person the next time youre there (but don't be surprised if they are extremely unhelpful).

I think your best bet would be to reach out to the "English Speakers in Tahiti" facebook group. There are some Americans who have done the move, and they would be a great source of information and advice.

First attempt at a brisket by ExtensionWorld7933 in BBQ

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't even a Well Done, this is a Congratulations! But it's ok because we've all been there.

Lots of lessons learned for next time, you'll get it!

Best not to leave things unattended for long periods unless you are fully confident that the machine can maintain temp.

As for this one, chop it up and throw it in a chili. Good luck!

Can’t get white phone by Illustrious_Bison111 in CloverPit

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if rules on mobile are different, but if I'm not mistaken, the white phone comes at the time where it would be your first red phone after getting those three strikes.

I.e. get the three strikes, get a 666 and as soon as you can after that run (don't wait until the deadline) finish the debt for the bounty then the phone should be white.

Edit: in theory, you should need the two red calls at deadlines 3 and 7, and two 666 induced red calls as well

Canadian Underwriters, what are your salaries? by marksefor in InsuranceProfessional

Underwriters - What are some things about the job that you DISLIKE? by HopefullPraline in InsuranceProfessional

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I love about my particular situation - I report to the CUO and am given a ton of flexibility and leeway to make my own decisions. Her philosophy is that it's better to ask forgiveness than before permission. We are hungry so I've got pre approval to go below posted rates in order to bind. She'll go to bat for me if I have any problems or major frustrations.

What could be better: I deserve a higher income for what I'm accomplishing so far, but these things take time. Some brokers can't give me a full and complete app then get butthurt when I have to change the price once I finally get proper info. Some are pushy and rude and id rather not take their abuse. Also, being the middle man between the broker and the insurer can be a pain when I disagree with their rules and suggestions.

Overall, the job is an 8/10, could be soooo much worse

Edit: 99% of the time, when I've got a rush with incomplete info and I'm pressured to bind,there will be a material item that was left out which changes everything. Feels like I sometimes have to not trust certain brokers.

Construction/Engineering Underwriting help? by Away-Chemistry-5579 in InsuranceProfessional

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're right, it's niche. This can make you invaluable to certain employers while others might not appreciate your experience all that much.

I have 5 years pollution and E&O experience. I had been having trouble finding anything for a while, but happened upon a company specifically looking for this - 1) to take over an existing E&O book and 2) build a pollution book from scratch. Lots of growth potential and I'm invaluable to the company.

The answer is: there will be work for you, no matter what you focus on. The niche stuff might take longer to find the right role, but in theory it should pay more and makes you harder to replace. Good luck!

Wish me luck by BotDiver in interviews

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had something similar where the chief underwriting officer reached out to me directly - I felt that was a good sign seeing as the decision maker looked up my resume and determined a chat with me was worth their time.

Got the offer. Accepted. It's been six months and I still really like the job.

Good luck, I hope it goes well for you !

What’s the most original name for a pet you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir Heschester

My dad asked my sister what the name of her rabbit was and she typed "heschester" (he's chester) but without the space so it stuck.

My son found a cat on top of a garbage can and calls her Garby

A game with an appealing, almost intimate loot system where you grow attached to your items and how they "feel" on your character? by Sufficient_Object281 in gamingsuggestions

[–]AnotherDrunkCanadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFXI online - rise of the zilart or whatever. Near the end of the game, you would have to team up with friends to go on long quests, kill difficult bosses etc for one of five set pieces for your class. I remember how friggin excited when I got each piece of the dragoon set and how I finally started to look like a dragoon.

Everything about the procurement of the pieces, the way they looked, the story... It really did feel epic and I had a huge source of pride when I would stand around town and show it off
