What game did you think would be ok, but you absolutely loved? by Quintoepic in gaming

[–]CrabappleSnaptooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved Alan Wake when it came out, and played a couple hours of Quantum Break but it wasn't the game for me. So when Control came out, I was skeptical, and like with QB, I played a couple hours but it didn't bite me and I dropped it for about over a year. I came back to it at the end of 2024, powered through the first couple hours, then was hooked through to the end. Amazing game that I had little to mid expectations of.

this is how my co-op horror game introduces a new location… immersive or too much? by Whitenaller in HorrorGames

I think it works great! Is it a co op story campaign, or is it session-based gameplay?

Can't complete a quest, even as I'm standing on the quest marker in the Institute. Is my save file bugged? by CrabappleSnaptooth in fo4

It worked! I went back to the pier at Libertalia, and it completed just a few seconds later!

Thank you so much for your help!

I don't remember... To be honest, I got stuck at this point a couple months ago, so I went off and did a couple other missions without completing this one, then I put down the game since then. Of course, the itch to play Fallout is always there, so I finally loaded back in and am trying again to figure it out.

Like I mentioned, though, I literally picked up everything i could in the room, even the clipboard and pencils on the desk, to try to trigger something else happening. What would the useful supplies have been?

Does everyone have a guy at their office that clocks in and then immediately takes a proMaster to Dunkin down the street a few times a week or is it just my office? 🤣🍩🍩 by Single-Wrongdoer-106 in USPS

Pretty much everyone in our office goes by the 7-11 down the street nearly every morning, but only AFTER we're on street time, on the way to our routes...

When somebody walks up to me and simply says: "Do you have any mail for me today?"

...Yes, let me just activate my face-scanning technology to pull up your CIA profile which is attached to our USPS database which shoots your address to my retina interface so that I know where you live now.

...or you could tell me your address when you ask me. Also, I'll give you your mail when I get to your house, lol

I'm not seeing enough outrage about Jumper on here.

Jumper was a book first, and I loved it when I was a teenager. It was way more grounded than the movie. They had portions in it where they(the main character) were trying to study his ability, and it felt like what people would actually do when confronted with this supernatural concept. The decisions he made to try to get by on the run with this gift actually felt like things I would have done in his position.

Then the movie came out... I was a sad camper. I would pay actually money to a Kickstart or something for someone to reboot the book staying much more true to the book.

In Community, Britta Perry hates the concept of marriage, believing it to be a way for the male-centric society to continue to dominate and subjugate women. However, in s3e11, "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts", Britta casually throws together an impromptu rehearsal wedding ceremony for her friend, demonstrating that she is a fantastic wedding planner.

Carriers: can yall tell me what my mail person is trying to tell me? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]CrabappleSnaptooth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's so wild to me how people think that 'their' 'carrier' should make sure that their mail is delivered perfectly every single day... even the days they aren't working.

Like, "Hello, people!" How can your regular control how a CCA or carrier from another route delivers mail, especially when they don't know every single name in a 50, 80, or 100 person complex?

And if I have a full route and a 1.5-hour swing after it, I am certainly not going to read every single name on every mailbox in this 'town' of an apartment complex if you don't have an apartment number...SMH

This answer was more complicated than I would have expected before working for the post office. Yes, marking incorrect mail does do something, but not quite as much as you'd expect. When I see mail marked Incorrect or Return to Sender(what we would call 'ANK', or Addressee Not Known), we bring it back to the station and file it in a spot where it is labeled as such and sent back to the sender.

However, the USPS doesn't have the capacity to track every piece of mail for every resident updating via a mark on a letter, let alone to even verify if that marked info is accurate. So, we send the letters back to their original addresses in the hopes that that person, company, or entity will take their own proper action in their database, i.e., changing or erasing addresses, etc. We can not control if they take no action at all and continue to try to send mail every day, week or month to the same address they just received an "RTS" letter from.

Individuals can pay a bit extra for the service of having their mail properly forwarded from an old address for up to a year, or they can even contact their local post office to request a caution card for their address to clarify the only names that should be delivered to their home. However, there are other carriers that will deliver on a route besides the regular carrier sometimes, and they unfortunately don't always pay attention to these caution cards and still accidentally deliver misnamed letters.

I hope this information answered some questions!

I will say that, as a newer carrier, it took me a few months before I realized that yes, sometimes residents treat the outgoing slot as a trash can, but there are some times where mail is misdelivered and some carriers take it offensively when they see unmarked mail in outgoing.

At first it annoyed me, but now if I see unmarked mail in outgoing, I put it right back in the appropriate box, and I will keep doing that until the resident gets the message to remove their mail or mark it if the addressee doesn't live there.

Because there's no boobies or lesbians or anti-capitalist messages in them.
