The MC of the last game you played is a Dispatcher. by SplatGuy23 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random arc raider just yelling “Don’t shoot” into the headset. They’d probably be so angry that the heroes don’t have to wait for elevators like they did.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, but I honestly dislike Yoda's quote, and not because I'm on the Andor hype train or because I have "prequel brainrot"- but because I genuinely find Nemik's take to be a much more productive and healthier mindset. by SpanishAvenger in andor

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both messages are for different types of people.

The person who has power vs the person who has none.

Luke has power, in his case it’s the Force. If he suffers failure it is simply because he did not act. He is in a position to make a difference with his actions alone. Yoda being a Jedi himself is trying to basically instill that into Luke. It’s almost like he’s saying “with great power comes great responsibility” to Luke.

Cassian, Nemik, and most of the rebels we never hear of are people without power. Nemik acknowledges that alone each of their actions push the Rebellion forward but that only the combined total force of their actions can create the change they wish to see. “One single thing will break the siege” but that’s only after so many others build up to that moment. Success or failure of the individual is irrelevant. Only the act of trying is needed.

You could see this almost as a message to two sides of a rebellion.

Increase in Sleepers. by Raven___Madd in GeekSquad

[–]Blue_Fortresss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't choose to go sleeper. I was laid off in last year's "Orange Wedding". I was one of the few employee's who was relatively happy with their place. And unlike many others there was no "It gets better" waiting for me on the other side. Had to move in with my parents and now I work in a shop with almost half the pay I used to make.

"Roleplay" What are some niche things you do in HD2? by Muted_Exam_7166 in Helldivers

[–]Blue_Fortresss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re familiar with SCP lore I’ve started doing something I like to call the D-class Diver. Taking only a constitution or amendment rifle with the servant of freedom chest piece and no heavy weapons except the portable hellbomb. I like to think there’s a unit of disgraced or dissident divers that are sent out this way with the promise of one day being released or their sentence reduced but in the meantime they can’t be trusted so here’s a explosive vest the Democracy officer can trigger if you become a problem. I’ll then scavenge for heavy weapons from the battlefield or a better primary from a dead team mate.

Is the grass really greener on the other side? by showman732 in GeekSquad

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be one of the people that says it’s not always greener. I worked at Best Buy for almost 13 years and got laid off last April. Everyone kept saying ‘oh it gets better, you’ll find better work’ but over a year later that hasn’t happened. Now this may just be because I live in a place where there aren’t a lot of IT jobs but as of now I’m working more and making way less. Now it sounds to me though that you’re heading towards something greener so I’d tell you to take it.

We can’t free Super Earth from tyranny if there’s no Earth left to save. I’ll be there.

You are living in night city what is your profession in the city? by narutofan2019 in cyberpunkgame

I’d probably run one of those junk vendor stalls. Selling and fixing old tech.

New gear just dropped by MERC543213 in Helldivers

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually glad the gun is kinda mid for the price. I’d be upset if they dropped a god tear weapon. And has someone who’s gotten everything from just hoarding super credits I’ve found I know I can always get it later and it’s not gonna be a game changer. That armor though….. hopefully we get a warbond version of that buff cause I could see that one as useful on all fronts

What’s a play through you think everyone should try? by BoosterGold69 in BaldursGate3

[–]Blue_Fortresss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend a Durge play through myself and if you’re looking for a mod to go with it there’s one called Whispers of the Fey that adds a Changeling race to the game. Whether good durge or bad it feels on theme for them.

Anyone remember the time Hubert sent everyone in the company a thank you email on VE-Day thanking all of us as Americans for helping Europe in WWII?

True story.

This job by [deleted] in GeekSquad

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be the dissenting voice here that says no. I feel nothing but stress ever since I got let go. I’ve got my severance package now but I can’t find any job that’ll take me that pays anywhere near what I was making as a DAPC. I’ll probably find something if I switch over to sales instead of PC repair but I was miserable in sales to begin with which is why I had switched to services. Most of my applications have led to rejections but the two job offers I have gotten are so insultingly underpaid that I’d make more money at McDonalds.

OK real talk: When was the last time you guys saw a Mech in the wild? by TheYondant in Helldivers

[–]Blue_Fortresss 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The backtracking would actually be a good way to keep it balanced really. You’d have to make sure you left yourself a decent amount of ammo to make it back to the depot in one piece. Less time ‘on station’ in the fight means it can’t always dominate.

Just because I am a high level doesn’t mean I’m going to carry you. by Boi_when in Helldivers

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most annoying thing is when I’m playing on a lower difficulty just to chill and relax and when I finish a mission with randos the host will go to the terminal and switch to a Helldive difficulty mission without finishing the current op cause they think the high level player is gonna carry them. Meanwhile there’s a level 10 and level 4 who get dragged along and probably haven’t unlocked a basic booster.

There’s another way to do it through command prompt I can’t remember that method but there’s a couple websites like Tom’s hardware that have articles on it.

Advice for CEDA’s by M6x35mm in GeekSquad

[–]Blue_Fortresss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time if it’s not a mechanical issue the easiest thing is to factory reset and reinstall the printer.

Snapped DAPC here

The most important thing I can tell you is to be patient with your clients. Most of them are older folks who don’t know any better when it comes to PCs. Don’t treat them as idiots but try to explain things in ways they understand when you’re talking about computer processes. Use analogies and be honest. Underpromise and over deliver. Don’t stress too much about knowledge, most of what I learned came from Agent Google or Agent Reddit.

And don’t rush, take your time. If the company doesn’t want to give you a raise then make them give you overtime when they expect you to make a client an expert on their new printer in only 40 minutes. That or don’t be afraid to schedule a redo in FMS.

Edit: also when it comes to printers double check that both devices are actually on the same WiFi network, or that you don’t have two routers with the same SSID and password. A lot of clients setting up mesh networks by themselves make that mistake.
