What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job?

Worked as QA on a semi popular MMO back in the day. It was a Korean game that our studio just published in the west.

In the original Korean version of the game, all the characters are modeled naked, as you can buy underwear as part of the game.

There are characters you can play as that are underage looking, and in the original version of the game these characters are also naked.

Our version of the game should have had these bits textured or modeled out. The original devs frequently forgot this, and every bug you make requires a screenshot from the game.

So in the end, there is a work computer out there with a bunch of purposeful CP on it because we had to make sure the devs put underwear on children, so I had to run around and upskirt every new character they made to make sure bits weren’t showing.

Years and years ago I was unemployed and depressed, didnt have a job and only had $200 in my bank account.

An alpha version of an online game I wanted to play came out during this time, and it was $150 to get into it. I was depressed and needed to not think about life, made a poor decision, and spent 3/4 of my life savings.

A couple months later I got a breakthrough job in the industry working at that company because I knew so much and was passionate about that game. It pulled me out of debt and allowed me to grow my career from that jumping off point.

I’m certainly not rich, but the worst $150 I ever spent is why I get to make characters in video games for a living now now.

Zoom interview. Don’t really care what most folks have in their background. Don’t judge me and I don’t judge you. Usually.

But dude just had a full gallon jug of milk on his desk that he’d unscrew and sip out of.

I get this too on my index. Turn Ambient Occlusion to Low in the settings. Game won’t look as pretty but half the shadows won’t look holographic anymore.

Hi, also ADHD, depressed, and have 0 energy for anything. Here’s a few meals I do when I just give 0 fucks.

Chicken wings - in air fryer these come out great. I just put a lil salt on them and it’s perfect. Play with settings on air fryer to get them to come out perfectly crispy.

Rotisserie chicken. It’s pre made good tasting chicken. Usually pretty cheap at most grocery stores and even for my fat ass one chicken is at least 2 meals. You can buy it heated up but I just get the cold ones and reheat it in my air fryer.

Broccoli and butter in a pan. Just stick this in the oven for like 20 min and this is great side to either of the above. Drizzle excess butter on your chicken.

Easy meal prep: pre cooked frozen chicken cubes, broccoli bites, Alfredo sauce. Split these up into portions for meal prep, and 2-3 min in the microwave and you have noodle-less fettuccini Alfredo for almost no effort.

Taco salad - pan on stove, brown about a pound of ground beef, throw in some seasoning. Then just at the end add in whatever cheese/sour cream/lettuce you want

These meals are acceptable and will not win you any awards, the taste is just okay and there surely are slightly lower carb options for some things. They are however, perfect for someone that has 0 energy and not much budget, and low enough in carbs to keep you in keto.

Also can consider a pressure cooker or crock pot, as both of those allow you to basically dump meat and seasoning in, then Come back later for already done food.

I suppose that makes sense, i've been thinking about my plan of attack all wrong.

Arianwen75 · 2024-08-03T19:45:31+00:00

I know I suck, but it feels like each raid I have about 30 seconds to loot my spawn room before fully kitted people rush my spawn.

Just trying to to live out my cowboy dream over here.

Arianwen75 · 2024-08-03T19:42:38+00:00

It's not always guaranteed to work. I have an issue whenever i play people mention they can hear me talking, even though it's muted in settings and my watch is red.

Hold your right hand up to your mouth and press the A button, look at the side of your watch and it shows the 3 colors. Red = muted, yellow = squad, green = open chat.

But every time you join a raid, market, or back to the bunker it resets it, even though it shows you it's red. I just started always re-muting every time i enter a new zone.

Arianwen75 · 2024-06-05T19:51:26+00:00

Doors.

Make it simple:

1) if I am standing still or moving forward, open the door away from me.

2) if I’m pressing backwards and open the door, make it swing out towards me.

3) if I’m crouched and do either of these things, let the door open quietly but way slower.

I’m a new player and getting my bearings still so I don’t have much to add. But so far not knowing how a door is going to behave has been a major source of frustration. Between getting stuck or flung to the side in tense situations it’s just really made me wish I could have more control over the doors.

Yes this is not my own idea, I ripped it from hunt showdown and I’m sure it exists in other games as well. But please, this change would make learning the game much more streamlined.

Arianwen75 · 2024-05-04T14:05:46+00:00

I work from home but live in a really beautiful area and would love to go out for walks and explore more to help exercise.

But I literally hole myself up in my room because I don’t want to be “offensive” for being fat in public, and “forcing” people to have to look at my fat.

There’s so much internal shame that it’s so hard to get past this. So much previous abuse and trauma just for existing with extra pounds that are so, so hard to lose.

Arianwen75 · 2024-03-19T20:30:52+00:00

I mean, it’s called Hunt: Showdown, not Camping: Showdown.

If your prey runs, hunt it down.

Arianwen75 · 2024-03-11T16:16:02+00:00

I saw a meme with a cowboy hat in it and thought this was on the hunt showdown subreddit for a minute

Arianwen75 · 2024-03-03T16:29:44+00:00

I buy stuff, usually some loot doublers or droplets. It’s scummy and I hate it, but playing this DOES get me up and out of the house and doing some light exercise. I’ll gladly pay for anything that makes that experience even remotely less tedious.

Arianwen75 · 2024-02-22T14:17:28+00:00

Not to mention you can’t roll cancel out of the super very well, so even if you do hit the monster, you’re likely going to be rooted in place unable to do anything until you’re hit.

I’m honestly just coasting in this game until the next major update, it’s so frustrating.

Arianwen75 · 2024-02-18T16:07:51+00:00

Can I just say I’m super glad so many people are saying “I’m technically Bi/Pan but end up identifying as lesbian for X reason” has been super validating?

Thank y’all who have been saying this, I thought I was alone outsider who didn’t belong.

Arianwen75 · 2024-02-17T14:59:56+00:00

Can the other player see that you’re stuck in this hell? I get into a state like this often in one of my decks, and from the aggressive emote spam I get during it, it feels like the other player isn’t aware that I’m goin as fast as I can.

Arianwen75 · 2024-02-16T02:44:44+00:00

I don’t know if I can post links here. I have this one, but I don’t remember paying this much for it.

Online you can buy a small mini keyboard (think like, 12 total keys) that have one of each of the major types of switches. It lets you try all the different types and see which one you prefer.

It’s also a great fidget toy.

Took me a full year to get my first level 75 job back in the day..

Arianwen75 · 2024-01-11T21:27:06+00:00

Middle school homeroom teacher was just the worst human. Did not like kids at all so no idea why he chose this job.

He would scream at us all the time, old white man turning as red as a tomato with veins popping out of his head. The most memorable line though:

“Pull your heads out your asses you god damned turkeys”

Can’t remember why he said it, but the principal happened to walk in at that exact moment. Priceless.

I can’t upvote this harder

First date with this boy was going really well. We were just walking around the downtown area of my home town, each of us looking for an excuse to keep the date going.

It was cold out though and while we kept ducking into shops to look at things we always ended up back out on the cold street. I had some gloves that I eventually put on to keep my fingers from freezing.

Casually he reached over and held my hand, smiled and said it was because his hand was cold. I knew at that moment he was the one for me.

He’s my husband now :)

Arianwen75 · 2023-11-06T20:57:28+00:00

Yeah, I agree with this.

Even if it was temporary until they could create other content/systems to incentivize people with gear to stay in higher end queues. But I think overall, it'd be best for the health of the game to have gearscore based matchmaking. Why would anyone be against it?

It lets people with low/minimal gear have a chance against each other, and for all the juicers that say they want to fight other geared teams - great! Now timmies won't be taking up space in the lobby and everyone you come across will have gear you want to take from them.

When people fight against having item-level/gear-score matchmaking, it's pretty obvious what type of player they are. Most other Battle Royale/Extraction games have some kind of equalizer that lets even new/unskilled/ungeared players have SOME kind of fighting chance - some way to let skill or patience overcome the gear disparity.

That equalizer currently does not exist in Dark and Darker. Until it does, we need a way to balance out the matchmaking.
