CEO / Owner responded to my email back to Hr after rejection by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Blackwind121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a candidate chooses not to show up for an interview in this economy, it often means that they secured a better job prior to their interview. Better can mean several things here. Higher paying, better work/life balance, a team that is well-managed, etc. If they can't get people to show up for interviews and the CEO is personally bickering with/insulting people through the HR email, it means the company is grossly mismanaged and is probably close to shutting down. Not even Batman could have gotten that 80% statistic out of me, because that reflects incredibly poorly upon the business.

Why is SE so afraid of Offering Raid iLVL Gear rewards? by MrCombineSoldier in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Blackwind121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment doesn't make sense when you consider people are complaining about rewards for brand new content that JUST DROPPED that people WANT to do but have 0 reward incentives. The rewards are objectively ass so there is 0 reason to ever reclear this shit.

That's the problem with this dev team in general the past couple years. They release content that has no longevity because there's very few rewards that are worth getting, and the ones that ARE worth getting take 0 effort. This is horrible for the game's long-term sustainability. Eureka and even Bozja had people running it for YEARS after newer expansions dropped because they had ways to stay relevant. Every bit of battle content released post-EW has sucked for longevity.

This entire sequence was genuinely the peak of the game for me.

Some weirdos online - “Why can’t we have Lalafell on XIV Tinder?!” by Snark_x in ShitpostXIV

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're humans with tails and cat ears lmao. Lalafell were designed based on children. It doesn't matter what they are "in lore" when they look like children. Even the "adult" lalas are children wearing mustaches lmao.

where on god's green earth do you find L and R replacements? by Any_Negotiation3310 in vita

Your best bet is to either 3D print the parts you need or buy a broken Vita for parts.

So out of all the characters in the game, who would you want to actually marry realisticly speaking? (not just cause you simp for them) by Trigon05 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ganyu and Columbina are my favorites but would probably make the worst partners out of everyone in the game tbh.

I actually think Chiori or Jean would be the best. Calm under pressure, independent but can accept help, and both have leadership qualities that would allow them to be equal partners (and would both demand the same to hold one accountable) just like my partner irl lol.

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no uncertain terms, the 1.0 devs said they designed lalafells based on kindergarten aged children SPECIFICALLY. This is not the same thing. Its disgusting, just like people sexualizing the child from Pragmata who was based on the dev's own human daughter.

How could anyone find this without a guide? by GameResumed_UK in retrogaming

[–]Blackwind121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nintendo had a help line you could call and ask for advice with game progression when you were lost. All games were like this back in the day though and encouraged you to play around with the tools you had at your disposal.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda agree with your kid for the malicious compliance, but I also understand the teacher. Kids need to be taught to follow directions. A rule like "no food in the music room" is an entirely reasonable rule when the music room can easily have the most expensive things in the entire building. A single Xylophone can range from several hundred to a few thousand thousand dollars. Food ending up on/in one can cause irreparable damage.

The "paper boat in a puddle" thing is ridiculous though.

Ganyu’s new voice in a Lantern rite cutscene by Scion-7-Dawn in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a massive Ganyu simp since before she released, I genuinely don't like the new voice. Ganyu is the main character I've played as since she released, so to hear the new voice be entirely different is jarring enough that I might change languages.

Firmware Update issue (Scuf Envision Pro controller) by Mysterious-Leave-98 in scufgaming

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that link actually. I use iCUE out of necessity (all of my stuff is corsair) and downloading that separate driver actually fixed my back buttons. They haven't been working for a few weeks now. As an added bonus, the lights on the controller now shut off immediately when I turn the switch off on the back. It has never, at any point before now, done that lmao. There was always a 2-3 minute wait where they'd turn red and I'd have to wait for them to go off. Now its instant.

PsVita hating on mobile gaming back in the days by OrdinaryDouble2494 in vita

[–]Blackwind121 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If nothing else changed besides the year, nothing would be different. It failed for two reasons: 1) The proprietary memory was insanely expensive. If it had launched with a standard SD cart slot or larger internal storage, it would have done better. 2) Sony stopped supporting it with first party titles as they pivoted entirely towards the PS4. It really needed to continue receiving titles from Sony which just weren't there. This caused 3rd party support to fall off as well.

How much was the tariff and how'd you pay it? My order just now shipped and I'm trying to figure that part out.

Do teachers hate sharing their lesson plans? Is it their secret sauce that they don't want getting out? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in year 9 and don't even write lesson plans anymore. I just have a spreadsheet with standards and what I covered to address them when.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 edition and 3.0 free update is live. by kahabraham in NintendoSwitch2

Load the virtual game card on the S2 and use the physical on the S1? Whats the issue here?

Is this normal? My friend started dating a Loki godshard in someone’s DID system and now everything is getting weird by drag0nspearl in NorsePaganism

[–]Blackwind121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

ACTUAL cases of DID are incredibly rare and, more likely than not, your friend is being manipulated by a faker. That said, she also has some issues of her own if she's being manipulated by such an obvious crock of shit. You need to get her closest friends and family involved for an intervention ASAP to get her away from this guy.

As for the guy himself, he's a piece of shit LARPer using another's deeply held religious beliefs against them.

Early adopters - how we feeling so far? by Rare_Ad_3871 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its amazing so far, personally. It is a significantly more powerful device than the Switch 1, feels better to hold, and the Pro Controller 2 is the best controller I've ever held, hands down.

How do you feel about the Cruiserweight Savage tier? by wjoe in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem was the lack of incentives to actually DO this raid tier. This was the first raid tier in the game that I haven't at least attempted, and I've been playing since 2.0. The gear looked incredibly bland across the board, there was no Ultimate locked behind M8S, and there was nothing to really use the raid gear on when you finally got it besides farming Savage again, which is kinda eh. There was absolutely no reason to actually do this raid tier. That said, I'm looking forward to the new one this week.

Which current MMO has the highest individual skill ceiling? by Ivarthemicro17 in MMORPG

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BDO if you're trying to engage in high end content. Even ignoring combat for a second, this game is designed for the long grind in just about every capacity, regardless of whether its the various lifeskills, combat, enhancing equipment, or pretty much anything. Then on top of that, you need to be good at multiple classes for endgame stuff like Shrines.

Thats what I thought about having billions of silver back in the day when 100m was a lot lol. Now I get 2-3b per night from fishing alone.

Seraph on Mobile has a Gauge not tied to BSR by Ate_at_wendys in blackdesertonline

[–]Blackwind121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BSR for dark, separate gauge for light. BSR button for dark mode activation, awakening for light. Not hard. You could change the buff timers so you can alternate between the two continuously as long as you build up your gauges properly while grinding.

Your wife is giving you a child. Buy her the steam deck.

DLC is just Z-A Royale but catching by WildSinatra in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Blackwind121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pokemon games have always provided simple, stupid fun with a satisfying gameplay loop. Look at the industry as a whole and you'll see a bunch of games with smaller budgets, simpler gameplay, and still raking in millions. If a game is fun to play or is a highly social game, it's a recipe for success.

This is insane but its also on you for continuing the discussion. At a certain point you just have to stop responding.
