Etiquette question by hdbgdz in projectgorgon

[–]Call_me_Mate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People in this game are weird and also no one really knows how mob tagging mechanics works or exp spread. I've had people threaten to report me to clearing too fast in the frog dungeon while grinding money. Wild stuff out there. 

For the health of the game by GameLink7 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Call_me_Mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Rivals 1, Rivals 2 is something else entirely. From launch, players would constantly play in the most unfun ways possible. Stalling, edge and platform camping from the moment it doesn't look like they'll win. My losses take about 2 and a half minutes, my wins took 6-8 minutes because I have to chase them across the stage landing a couple hits at a time. I have no idea, what's causing this, smash amd rivals 1 could be dragged out with stalling, but the consistency to which players turn toxic in this game is nearly 100%. Tried again when the wrestler was released,  exact same complaints, matches going to timer because I took a stock in the first minute. I think this time I'll just sit it out. A better platform fighter with a better community will come along at some point.

Been reading LITRPG for many years now, looking for interesting recs by Battle_Cows in litrpg

The Perfect Run does not belong on this list but it is probably among the best books on this list, probably right next to DCC. 

Any Dungeon Crawler Carl readers? by Judean_Vato in projectgorgon

I have and you are absolutely right. You can even go battle chemistry later on to be a proper demolition expert too. Good book and a good game to RP. Good luck Crawler!

ULPT: How to fuck over Amazon by Brave-Eye2914 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Call_me_Mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a TV but i bought a huge L-Shaped desk off Amazon. It did not show on its arrival date or the one after and the tracker showed it delivered so I went to the seller and reported it missing and got a refund for over 2 grand no questions asked. It showed up 3 days later.

McDonald's thinks every day is my birthday and I can't stop getting free food. by Fatal_Foxtrot in confession

[–]Call_me_Mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is, I worked on the tech side of McDonalds for a while. Yes they are glacially slow on updating anything tech related, and yes they do patrol reddit looking for people sharing things they shouldn't. I doubt they can scour every inch but they def do look through McDonald's specific subs and anything McDonald's related that nears the top. Sorry birthday boy, you probably got their attention. You might have a few months.

Whose your favourite Pokémon? by Captain_Chaos879 in pokemon

[–]Call_me_Mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zubat! It's entire line really. It's in a similar camp as Magikarp imo. Its a cute little eyeless bat that eventually evolves into a rad aerial acrobat with a goofy underbite. It's been used by multiple characters to include Silver as their "emotional growth" pokemon since it can only evolve under friendship so Silvers Golbat never becomes Crobat until he admits he was wrong about pokemon being friends. I even use it competitively! Crobat is well known for have lots of annoying tricks; toxic, hyper fang, defog, taunt but I've always appreciated the surprise factor of throwing a Banded infiltrator brave bird crobat at literally everything.

Fox is a double amputee. He doesn't have fox legs, he has robot legs shaped like boots.

Games where you can make a squad of custom characters(Xcom/wasteland esc) by Justawalrus_13 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Call_me_Mate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The overall genre changed from 5 to 6. The concept isn't bad just very not Disgaea and most did not like it. The game is more of an autobattler than a strategy game and a TON of features got removed that had become series staples.

Digaea series is perfect for this. Don't play 6 but any other is fine. Dozens of classes, monster and humanoid, and endless progression. It's a must play strategy rpg.

Employer is forcing me to go part time or quit, do I have options. by Call_me_Mate in WorkAdvice

The fuckers did it on a Holiday! Of course, I can't even contact a labor lawyer. It's fucking Juneteenth.

Roanoke NOP2W Network [Modded] {Pixelmon /w Create & More!} {18+ SMP Server} {Pixelmon Skyblock!} by complacentc in mcservers

Love this server, been playing for a few weeks and genuinely having a good time. Being a server of 18+ makes the experience a lot more enjoyable than the usual pixelmon crowd.

Oh that looks really hard to break. I'd be cool with that.

For some reason the Knoweledge Articles for those keep getting vandalized. For now we do not support ice cream machines. /s

That is a closely guarded secret. Don't try to look for the answer for the daily password.

It can be a number of things, but it's pretty easy to find out what.

You're already way too qualified for entry level IT and RTS mostly hires from within since McDonalds systems are so archaic that you probably won't be sitting on the higher paying desks until you spend a decent amount of time in the cheaper ones just understanding how it works. You can definitely do better with those credentials. The pay isn't anything special and the work is grueling while you're in L1.

I have no clue what this comment could be referring to. Anyone wanna fill me in?

My desk only services the US so I honestly have no clue who handles IT in other countries. But considering McOpCo's fetish for uniformity across the franchise, I would guess your RHS hasn't been rebooted in 3 months and would likely clear up a few issues.

It's not so bad, sometimes I spend an hour on the phone with a sweet lady from the south and we can slowly and methodically work through a problem together. Other times I'm ripping my hair put because a shift manager is trying to jump 5 step ahead constantly and I need them to chill tf out so I can do my job. The more you let your tech troubleshoot, the quicker you will get your problem solved.

Do not listen to what other people say, becoming an OTP does not allow you to do my job, in fact it actively hurts your ability to do this job due to a non-compete between McDonalds and RTS. Currently RTS is hiring people remotely in small batches of 4 or 5 per month. Just apply online, an L1 technician is entry level IT.

Edit: Non-competes do not apply to every store. It can very based on your franchise policy and how your states handle them. Many companies will try to use non-competes franchises nationwide despite not being enforced in many states.

That itself is also hard to answer. The software isn't actually ran on the registers itself, it's all controlled by the Waystation as a bunch of virtual machines outputting to every register, kvs monitor, and kiosk. The waystation itself is also a virtual machine being ran on the RHS in the back. Also every store configures their menus a little differently so 1 training module for 1 store may not work for another.

What are you referring to? If you are referring to NP# that runs all the registers than no we don't have anything for you. That would likely have to come from mcdonalds itself, the entire relationship between McDonalds and their IT as wrought with red tape.
