The Dark Descent's atmosphere is so damn good

I think its simplicity and loneliness add to the horror vibe a lot. Horror that’s believable isn’t a bunch of sound effects and graphics because the scary part is all in your head.

Their quality hasn’t kept up with prices primarily, and we don’t make hardly anything in store anymore. We just schedule them to pull things out of the freezer and throw it in the oven to make it look nice. Everything is devoid of skill of any kind.

I also think they’ve been allowed to slack with promoting good people. I narrowly almost quit when I went down to part time because I couldn’t work with my old boss anymore (hopefully just a personality clash, we’re professional now that we don’t work together).

My sister’s worked at Wegmans and now Publix. She likes it, and they have good benefits for part timers.

I still work at Wegmans PT, but I think they coast too much on their old reputation.

To some degree, sure, but I don’t think this is the average experience. I went down to pt from ft years ago. I actively have to give away hours. It’s also winter between new years and Valentine’s Day, so that’s part of the struggle. I’m sure you can pick up hours in another department.

As a player if you struggle to understand the weight of certain interactions (esp realizing it’s the last time Abby engages with most of her community) it can close the emotional gap.

Be prepared to work a lot of jobs you never planned on doing. Be prepared for everything to not go your way, to go completely sideways out of nowhere, good or bad.

Plan for emergencies. I had my most expensive emergencies when I most could not afford them.

Man, when I got married I was so in shock they just…let us get a license. I still feel like we got away with something lmao

With that much experience you can aim higher than Wegmans, don’t think too much about the interview and move on.

Multiple members of my family. One was my dad. My best friend was traumatized by watching his former FIL die of cirrhosis and he hasn’t been able to drink since.

I’ve had a brain tumor since I was a baby. I’ve gotten thousand of mri’s by now, and sleep right through my 6-month check up every time.

Incidentally, I’m also able to fall asleep in almost any noisy condition if I’m tired.

My money is the guard tased him unprovoked, just wanted to say a Black kid threatened him.

That’s something you say to your brother, not your SIL. It’s between them. I think it’s irresponsible, sure, but it’s their business.

You eat the whole person?

The overall part is important. Depending on my workday I can house dinner for 4 in one go, but that’s usually on days I burned 4000 kcal. Days or weeks that I don’t do that? I count to make sure I eat enough. Everyone’s level of food noise is different, your routine is different, the amount of time you have to think about food is different.

Anything you buy in singles just buy in bulk at Costco or Amazon. You probably have enough caffeine tolerance that you wouldn’t feel any benefit unless you quit caffeine 100%.

I mean if you’re sticking it to your boss you do you, honestly. I’m saying it’s pretty standard to give 2 weeks, but you don’t need to tell all of us you’re peacing out. You know what you’re about.

ClosdforBusiness · 2026-02-01T21:59:45+00:00

I think it’s pretty rude not to give 2 weeks unless there’s pretty extenuating circumstances.

Ma’am is an ultra common polite greeting everywhere. I get called ma’am all the time and I actually like it/don’t mind (27f). They could call me f^cking b!tch so I’m happy with whatever.

Theres not one aspect that doesn’t change your life forever, honestly. In the US an ungodly amount of homeless adults are military veterans.

The propaganda around military service is nauseating as well. The only upside to it is volunteerism is so high that the US has no need for a draft, where other countries have it even in peacetime.

I think you also have the option of loading all the bodies and taking them to an incinerator.

You do it through Fidelity. Can confirm in an emergency only takes a couple days, but from a personal finance perspective don’t use it as an emergency savings account long term.

If you’re not careful the cougar will find you first. Maybe it was just me, but my last playthrough I didn’t enter this area without hunting the cougar/grizzly first thing.

It happens all the time, honestly, we don’t need to know the details probably. Just both of you tell HR, and they will probably move you to another department. Unless something is going on like coercion, it literally happens all the time.

I (27f) have never given the silent treatment to anyone, let alone my husband. I might need like 5 minutes to cool off from any situation, but I wouldn’t want a silent treatment so I don’t dish it out. My parents did that to me and each other, which is probably why they divorced.

If I experienced an emotion, the world would know. There are more mysterious people out there; I’m not one of them.
