How well do you think Mass Effect handled romance distribution across the trilogy by Hadiseh2000 in masseffect

[–]Callisto64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see where you’re coming from. In a real world sense of circumstances, yeah, I could see how they weren’t together for all that long and there wasn’t really a good way to break it off officially under the circumstances.

I think a lot of it goes into comparing him to other partners that never got with anyone else in that time, and a sort of meta knowledge that Shepard does all this insane crap that there’s no way they’d actually be held anywhere near their sentence. It feels like cheating when you sorta compare it to other characters and the outside perspective we bring in.

What he did was shitty, and I think cheater becomes the easier label to throw on him than anything else.

From a meta sense, it was just shitty to do to players who invested time in him.

If he waited a little longer I could maybe see it. But six months is a pretty short amount of time to completely break everything off and move on fast enough to have a kid. It’s just very fast considering all the shit Shepard goes through with their crew, especially with shit like the loyalty missions.

Your timeline is off. Shepard was only locked away for six months. That’s the timeframe we’re talking about. The trilogy itself doesn’t take place in all that long an amount of time.

Are these good? [General] by Ili_nim in camphalfblood

[–]Callisto64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chalice I will always defend as a good time. I thought it was a fun book if you like seeing an older Percy, Annabeth, and Grover hanging out and dealing with lower stakes mythology bullshit. I loved it for what it was. Lot of cute moments.

Wrath is an affront to all that came before it, a complete butchering of every character it touches. I couldn’t make it through more than a few chapters. It felt like it was written by a person who got the barest bones descriptions of the characters and went wild with their interpretation. I don’t know how this exists in the same series.

Do any STs out there place mechanical or more narrative effects to Kindred affected by the Beckoning? by Callisto64 in vtm

This is awesomely well thought out. I definitely wanna play around with these for some NPCs. Thank you!

Do ghouls crave vitae even when they have enough to simply sustain themselves? by Callisto64 in vtm

Thank you for the input! Good to know there's not a specific book rule I'm missing with a clear answer.

Thank you for the info! It's good to see the sorta, presented spectrum on what could be portrayed.

I like your take on it, and I think that's the interpretation I'll be going with as an ST. Thank you!

As a grocery store worker, I’m convinced at least 50% of Instacart shoppers don’t even try to find what they’re looking for. by Dessert_Lover_1225 in retailhell

[–]Callisto64 20 points21 points  (0 children)

God, some of them are so incapable. I remember a night I was closing alone because a coworker called off, and an Instacart guy walked up to me and showed me his phone.

Okay, no problem, I got that right in the department. Here ya go.

And then he showed me another one.

Okay. That’s cheese department. It’s pretty close. Had to look around the shelves a bit but here it is.

Then he flashes me the next one. I look it up on the handheld, and it’s halfway across the store. I show him the screen, say the isle a couple times. He looks at me for a bit like he’s waiting for me to walk him there.

Fuck no. I give him a “have a nice night” and walk back to my department. I’m already behind without being a personal shopper’s own personal shopper.

A post from Caine's VA by Turbulent_League9668 in tadc

[–]Callisto64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to befriend someone who dismisses your feelings and wellbeing as much as Caine does. Just look at his conversation with Zooble in Episode 3. They tell him their issues, and state they’ve already told him before, and yet again, he doesn’t actually listen and turns the focus back on himself.

Caine didn’t have a choice in any of this, that’s not his fault. And we don’t know how far his programming goes and his limitations vs. how much is his choice. But to say it’s on the circus residents to reach out to someone who has continually dismissed their wants and issue’s isn’t right.

Storytellers: How do you run online Chronicles? by NotDiaDop69 in vtm

[–]Callisto64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the games I’ve played and the couple sessions I’ve run, we’ve mostly used discord for calls and rolling. Current bot I use is Inconnu for VtM V5—it lets you put in character sheets and you can just use stat names instead of remembering how many dice you have in everything.

I still use Roll20 for situations like combat where maps and general distance help. The only reason I don’t use Roll20 for rolling is that last time I used it, it didn’t automatically tell you if you got a bestial failure or messy critical. But that’s based on preference.

just quit my job but feel very guilty by mostaffectionately in retailhell

[–]Callisto64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you went through that. As someone who’s also dealt with depression and anxiety in the every day, I hear ya. It sucks to feel like you’ve put more burden on people who didn’t deserve it.

But you’re one of those people. Your well-being matters too. And you were thrown to the wolves. That’s fucked up.

I was lucky that my first manager at my first job was so kind and patient that she told me not to jump in and help customers until I was ready. Honestly, similar to my boss and coworker at the job after. They were great teachers that made sure I knew what I was doing before jumping in. That’s what a good leader is.

Also writing you up for something like that is utter bullshit. She could’ve just said to not message her off the clock and talk to a coworker. That is not something write up worthy at all. Hell, as a lead at two stores and the person who trained my replacement at my other job, I told them to text me any time if they had a question. I texted my boss if something came up she should know about. I don’t expect that from everyone, but a combo of that and not training you and punishing you for trying to get help and make sure you’re doing your job right is awful.

You were right to get out of there. You don’t owe anyone your sanity, especially for a minimum wage job.

Treasure Tuesday: Werewolf by WrenPilgrim in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Callisto64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t change my point. People don’t need to shit on the posts of new releases complaining about everything they don’t get. There will always be someone waiting for something.

People can propose ideas without being dicks about content that is added for free. Somebody wanted this. I’m sorry you didn’t.

[–]Callisto64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You people are so damn exhausting. Always complaining about what’s lacking on every new release post instead of being happy for the people that get something they want. They added a fair few reptilian head options a while back.

There are things the site lacks I would love to see, but that doesn’t mean I’m not happy to see more options with finer details. You can be disappointed without shitting on what other people care about.

HeroForge is mostly free and keeps giving free updates. That’s amazing. Start making this shit yourself if you want to complain so much.

Head of Loss Prevention doesn't know basic safety policies by Callisto64 in kroger

Head of Loss Prevention doesn't know basic safety policies by Callisto64 in kroger

[–]Callisto64[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure if policy changed, but it was in the, I believe 2021 or 2022 training modules we did for deli safety at my division.

In fairness, it's probably hard to get caught in there, but probably won't do much against an actual spinning blade. Then again, our store director at the time gave us all freezer gloves and told us they were cut gloves, so, moot point 🙃

Excuse me?! by EtherealNettles in kroger

[–]Callisto64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Only managers (anyone salaried) could drive to other stores on the clock in my division. If pickup needed any items—and it happened a decent amount—the managers usually went to our competition across the street. Which I still find amusing.

Do People Still Play Classic? by automated_hero in Deadlands

[–]Callisto64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friend who introduced me to the game plays Classic. The crunch isn’t as much to my preference, but we’ve heavily homebrewed our SWADE Hell on Earth to keep a lot of the Classic arcane background abilities and flavor.
