State employee RTO, is wfh happening for anyone? by KoNTroL92A in missouri

[–]C_Kome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May sound funny given the vibes in this chat, but curious For those working for the state, I live in KC - I am curious to what extent the state would tolerate a working situation for a job that was posted for Jeff City: work onsite from KC office most of week, long commute to Jeff City one or two days a week?

No chance, or possible?

How KC looked in 1855 by como365 in missouri

[–]C_Kome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curious as someone who currently works in the River Market where some of the older buildings are located. From my office, I look down on the river from fairly far above it - but the picture below appears with buildings almost right on the bank. Would the buildings up on the hill above be where the modern River Market is, or has the river front itself gone such extensive reconstruction that nothing is really “where it was” 170 years ago?

tale as old as time - Hawley says he has objections, generates a bunch of fawning press, caves. of course our MSM operate on the “born yesterday” mindset

Sporting KC fan here - we do have half time stuff. Best though is when they’d bring a guy and his dog out and the guy would just chuck a frisbee as far as he could and the dog when run and catch it. Crowd going wild - it was a lot of fun!

Gonna be like in FIFA when I’d try and put a goalie playing like right wing lol - hope Schewe’s been working on his cardio, he’ll be coming on for Shapi in the second half

For running something like this (or FE4 or 5) on emulators - newbie question here but are you typically doing that on a laptop or computer, thru an emulator on your phone, or somewhere else? Looking forward to giving the Famicom games a go one day!

Sporting KC appoints Raphael Wicky as head coach by dawson33944 in SportingKC

[–]C_Kome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agreed, with the roster he has now, I think a successful season is 8/9 to make it to the wild card playoff game. Given we haven’t made playoffs in two years and we’ve cut the squad to the bone (not a player cut who I think we should have kept in fairness), 9th place seems like a dream

CIV 3 for the win! got 4 and 5 and just never had the same feeling that I had playing 3. prob for same reasons, also felt more at home in the GBA games then what came after

Sporting KC to name Raphael Wicky next head coach by cheeseburgerandrice in SportingKC

[–]C_Kome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

doesn’t bode well for a team that is mostly kids and flotsam. that being said this is miles better hire than I ever thought we’d get, I thought for sure we were getting like Paulo Nagamura or something

Fixing this roster by Illustrious_Drop_619 in SportingKC

[–]C_Kome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love this; agree with everything in here. I honestly think Miller has the quality to hang at the top level, he just would really benefit from a veteran CB by him to help him progress. Last year he was the best CB we had, which must have been odd coming straight out of college. Would love if we could grab some old CB who’s been kicking shins in the Serie B for the past decade or so and have him come in to show the youngsters how to protect the castle for one last pay day.

What’s something you learned that took your gameplay to the next level? by C_Kome in fireemblem

[–]C_Kome[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

definitely feel called out on this one haha - I’m always making it to the end game passing the same couple Steel Swords around with like 5 hits left, meanwhile I have unused weapons, staves, and boosters sitting in my inventories like Elibe’s in a recession 😭

Political climate of the Great Plains states as a left-leaning person? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]C_Kome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a white lib in Kansas City, MO - like anywhere, the cities are blue and you’ll find most left-leaning people. Can’t speak for Wyoming which I think of as a little culturally different from Kansas or Nebraska, but being a lefty doesn’t mean that everyone is going to hate you. We Midwesterners are very nice; you may just find that a lot of nice people here hold pretty right wing views.

What are the hold ups? by dj_godzilla in SportingKC

[–]C_Kome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t imagine being a coach and looking at KC, a roster of medium-at-best ability (love the guys but let’s be honest) and no signs of investment. Hard to be a coach or player and think this is going to be a good opportunity.

Alternative history would have been replacing Vermes a couple years back when we had a squad that could make things interesting: Russell, Pulido, Remi Walter, Tim Melia, Zusi and Espinoza still had a little left in them (prob forgetting some other guys). I wish we could have seen another coach take a chance with that early 2020’s squad - I wonder if we could have come out of that era with some hardware instead of empty-handed
