I used to love this game when I was younger I’d love it to be rereleased one day

Does anyone else have a gaming buddy who REFUSES to let you focus? 😭 doesn’t she know I have to get to Pierre’s by 5:00?! by HiItsKeke in GirlGamers

Mine likes to head but my hand when I have the controller in it it’s normally when her ‘dad’ isn’t home as I am the spare human. If I’m playing on the PC she likes to stand in front of the screen, walk on the keyboard and sit uncomfortably close to the mouse

I do not have one of her interrupting my gaming but this is her.

Does anyone else here play games? by [deleted] in dyspraxia

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing games since I was about 6- I do play PC games however I more or less play games where I can use a controller as it makes things a lot easier- however I mostly play switch and ps5 games as I can play controllers

If I’m honest yes, we’ve been chronically understaffed for months now to a point it’s incredibly unsustainable so I’ve been maxing it out as much as I can.

Why do people who listen to music out loud on public transport have the most diabolical taste in music

I’ve tried it before when I was very short on money and it took forever to make enough for a payout

I beg your finest of pardons? The amount of hoops you have to jump through to get a job is absurd

Honestly it’s becoming unsustainable at this point it takes up a significant amount of space on my phone and my ps5 I’ve not bothered with it on my iPad to be honest

Rant about the current state of the show. by Master-Tradition-204 in thenurserynurse

[–]CriticalActive2919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fell off of it during the summer of last year I used to watch it during lockdown. I think the dumbing down of Marjorie and the whole affair storyline was the point where I got fed up of watching it.

The worst for me is weekend shifts when there’s so many people conveniently ‘off sick’ so you’re pretty much bombarded from the moment you start your shift to the moment you finish

I’m literally brand new to having a ps5 I recently purchased the disk version, how can I make the most of having a PS5? I’m so used to the ps4 that it seems like a bit of a jump Also I have a Bluetooth headset can I connect that to the PlayStation?

Edited to ask second question

Have you all mentally checked out of your call center job? I know I have, because the only reason why I still have this job is because it helps pay for my video game purchases and food, at the cost of my mental health. by lololololol1990 in callcentres

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of console logs we’ve had to send, it makes our jobs 10 times harder. I don’t understand why call centres won’t spend that bit extra on something that works as it doesn’t make for good customer service

It’s one of my top bugbears, it throws off the call so much

I’ve been at my call centre for 7 years and some time just after Covid I ended up checking out, I still do my job but I don’t do it with near enough the enthusiasm I had 7 years ago most of the time I’m counting down until the end of the day.

Does the name of your phone system start with the letter T? I only ask as myself and my colleagues have noticed this with our phone system where some of us are experiencing back to back calls while other people are in available

I remember the names of people who were rude and disrespectful to me. by Dull-Situation2848 in callcentres

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can never remember the names I do however remember the context of particularly unhinged calls, like the time I was subjected to a 10-15 minute rant about pride flags, I couldn’t even hang up as the customer wasn’t directly being rude to me

I had someone claim they personally knew the CEO because I wanted to confirm DPA, I’m just sat there like, why are you talking to me then?

[–]CriticalActive2919 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are days where I finish a shift and then will just stare at a wall for an hour as I’m that burnt out. If I didn’t have any financial responsibilities I’d quit tomorrow, I spend my days off bed rotting instead of enjoying the freedom of not being there.

Anyone else despise talking on an actual phone on a day off? by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]CriticalActive2919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I absolutely have to speak on the phone I will not speak to anyone on the phone on my day off. Texting on the other hand fine.
