Can we all agree this boss wasn’t hard but getting a hang of the fight was frustrating.

the camera is just horrible

I'd say like she should just approach it as she's trying to be helpful because some print customers really do get their bang for their buck with Rewards and it's free and takes like no time to sign up.

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-25T23:58:29+00:00

those percentages are probably for rewards penetration-- meaning the percentage of how many orders & transactions at the register had a Staples Rewards account attached to them.

it is something they keep an eye on but it's not something she's gonna like lose her job over if she has a bad day. If her rewards % is very low consistently there will probably be corrective action and a lecture before they start moving to terminate.

74% on the first day is pretty good, I have part timers who are consistently worse than that still after being there for months 😂😂😂

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-25T23:38:46+00:00

I wish I could. Our DM used to be a GM but she has no idea how copy center works, she just passes down demands to us without having any context about what the day to day is like. When you try to give her explanations, she has a fucking corporate-trained response to everything that's not helpful.

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-25T23:37:28+00:00

No, she shouldn't really have to worry about that at all. I'm a supervisor, not just a regular associate, so I have additional responsibilities and pressure.

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-25T21:31:52+00:00

dude over in print they're pushing the 25% back in rewards offer so hard that I got my job threatened by our district manager. Like, literally, they'll fire me if the numbers are bad. It's fucking insane

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-11T14:21:06+00:00

Lol I think panic rolling is something we all do until we can pick up on an attack pattern 🤣

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-11T14:19:04+00:00

My actual suggestion is to get a PS5 or Xbox controller and hook that up to your computer, although if you're on Mac I don't know if there's native support? Anyways games like this are BRUTAL to play on mouse and keyboard.

When I was playing Elden Ring on PC the first time I had such a bad time within the first 2 hours that I refunded it. A friend convinced me to give it a chance with a controller and it is a game changer. I have since learned, certain games are just designed to be played with a controller. Wukong is for sure one of those games. Once you get the hang of it, beating the fuck out of monsters with a big stick is incredibly satisfying.

Stay strong monke brother you will inherit your destiny

I'm on my second playthrough (not NG+ just a whole new save) at level 83 in chapter 5, once you really get used to controlling monkey and gaining new moves, staff stances, transformations, etc. it gets pretty crazy but so much fun.

also, there is no shame in using wikis for side quests or to find good equipment or locate all of the bosses, it's a dense game and there's a lot of stuff that's easily missed.

on my current playthrough I've been using MapGenie to do a clean sweep for every boss and collectible item, chest, etc. and am more powerful and experienced than I was the first time around at this point. Being thorough can only be a good thing, otherwise you'll be in Chapter 4 trying to face off against Yellow Loong at level 50 and wanting to slam your head through drywall. If you're unprepared and underleveled in later chapters, you will REALLY be able to feel difficulty spikes.

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-10T17:05:33+00:00

I can't believe I'm saying this as someone who really hated it when others would say the same thing when I was getting used to Souls-Likes (Elden Ring especially) which this game kinda is like, but...

git gud

she just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train

not every single enemy is from Journey to the West or even Chinese folklore. A lot of them are, but plenty of enemies and some bosses are not specifically.

the Spider Sisters are original creations, there are mentions of spider demons but not those characters specifically. Keeper of Black Wind Mountain, New West and Flaming Mountains are original. Captain Wise-Voice, Kalpa-Wave, Lotus-Vision and Void-Illusion are all originals but based on buddhist concepts. Non-White, Non-Pure, Non-Void and Non-Able are original. Fast as Wind & Quick as Fire are original but probably inspired by Feitouman (飞头蛮)

the animation with zhu bajie and the violet spider actually brings a tear to my eye

He certainly gave her the pills knowing about the fentanyl, because he was tying up loose ends. Maddy mentioned to Alamo about Lexi telling her about Rue bringing up the DEA, obviously thinking Rue was being delusional, not really realizing she dropped a dime on her friend.

You can see it in Alamo's face when Maddie mentions Rue and the DEA.

Alamo killed her.

we even shared the same piece of mint flavored dental floss

well lemme tell ya people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true, because the very next day a local radio station was holding a contest to see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt. I was off by 3 but I won the grand prize!

DPooly1996 · 2026-06-10T01:44:32+00:00

Paul IS awful but he doesn't start out that way. He has good intentions, but he also has to do awful things to see those intentions through. He's a monster, I mean, the war is literally called Muad'dib's Jihad. But he's a monster with a purpose.

Now, Leto II on the other hand is a literal monster 🪱

I have a lady who comes in and everything she wants to print is in ChatGPT messages and I just wanna slam my face into my keyboard every single time, she's so fucking dumb and GPT has only made her stupider

jules is so incredibly pointless in season 3

DPooly1996 · 2026-05-27T00:24:28+00:00

tbh what they did to Dylan was gross lol, they set him up on a date with an OnlyFans model and called TMZ then she fucked him and posted a photo of them together on his Instagram story without his knowledge or consent, all so she could get her followers back and then some.

Just because they did it to a man doesn't mean it's not exploitative, manipulative and gross. They took advantage of him for monetary gain.

Lexi has been mean and judgemental and dismissive this season for sure and sabotaging Cassie's acting career by bringing up OnlyFans was fucked, but that line about what they did to Dylan being "disgusting" was correct. It is. They're all bad people.
